- Creating a cottagecore themed island from scratch can often be overwhelming for beginners. In this video I try to break down some of the key elements that I hope will be useful for you.
Timestamps below:
0:22 - Tip#1 - Terraforming - Avoid straight lines and go for natural looks. Create secret little areas and nooks.
1:19 - Tip#2 - Items. Make sure you go for items your grandma would think is cute. Lots of brown/olive/white colored items.
2:02 - Tip #3 - Lots of custom paths. These help fill up the empty space on your island.
2:55 - Tip #4 - Lots of flowers. Take time to find some combinations that you like and are cohesive.
3:42 - TIp #5 - Experiment and have fun. Don't be hard on yourself. Don't restart your island. It's a marathon not a sprint.

Girly? Theres no such thing in this wholesome game
period
.
Unisex you meant?
Tom-Ato exactly:D
*those entirely pink islands that have no other color than pink*
"am I a joke to you?"
For anyone watching this and into cottagecore Animal Crossing, be aware that Bryclyn forest, another cottagecore youtuber is EXTREMELY homophobic and toxic. I advise you to stay away from her channel if you don't support that. Here is a video explaining more: czcams.com/video/9YJsGZPpsAc/video.html.
I've always disliked her cuz all she does is cover her island in weeds and white flowers and calls it "landscaping.." i guess now i got more reasons to not like her.. !
@@azzar.1361 Her tour videos are not even good since a lot of commentary is very repetitive ("oh my gosh" or "stop it") and doesn't add much value. The islands themselves are beautiful and I wish the creators would seek out someone different to tour their island :/
Shu the islands she tours are nice but I seen her post “landscaping tutorials” and I just wasn’t impressed. Maybe it’s just me lol
Thank you!
Shu exactly ! Really annoying and those islands deserves better CZcamsr to tour them
I hadn’t realized that I’d unintentionally made my island cottagecore until I watched this video
Whoever says “COTTAGECORE IS FOR GIRLS!!” beeech it’s animal crossing. We gotta make our dream land
go off sis!
I'm a boy, and I think the cottage-core islands are super cute
Am I allowed to like cottagecore or have a cottagecore island as a boy?
Leo Fonda of course ! you can like whatever you want gender doesn’t matter :)
Leo Fonda, I never said it was for girls, I meant people who say it’s for girls are complete idiots, but yes! Anybody can use it since it’s used on many islands!
What made me laugh was that at the end my character was wearing the hat he said to wear i- 😂😂😂
same omgg
me too 😭 he didnt had to call us out like that
I didn’t know how much people wore that hat liking this them, it’s so cute though lol
cyberbutterfly same lol
Why do you even use “I-“
“Don’t reset your island” me about to do it tomorrow... I just genuinely want to start from scratch and my friend is keeping my money and nmt and some of my mushroom items on their island!and I kinda have been hating how my island has been looking lately
i did this and it was the best decision ive made on this game
i’m thinking of resetting my island so i can get the resident services infront of my entrance but then again i don’t wanna lose my stuff
softii I have my RS in front of my entrance and it is a nightmare, wouldn’t recommend 😶
The only thing keeping me back from resetting are all the bugs and fish and deep sea creatures I've collected.
Spoopy Chalupa who are your two dream villagers? Also I have 5 stars now in only 2 months from resetting my island! It also looks way better that my old island!
Finally an unproblematic cottagecore ac CZcams! You deserve wayyyy more subs! Keep up the good work!!

How in tarnation does a cottage core account be problematic
@@dragondragonfruit5810 briclyn forest. She's homophobic and extremely toxic, and she kicks anyone in the LGBT+ community out of her discord if they speak about their identity/sexuality at all. She's done a lot more that was worse but here is a video that calls her out (I'll reply with video in a second) comment section also lists a lot of stupid shit she's done
@@dragondragonfruit5810 here it is, czcams.com/video/9YJsGZPpsAc/video.html
Pudding J that is EXACTLY who I was thinking about when making that comment
I understand Briclyn Forest is problematic but she’s not the only cottagecore ac youtuber. One that I can think of is Crossing life
I'm planning on a more practical island with cottagecore elements, because I think that'll be easier for me to learn from. Maybe in the future I'll try to go all out and redesign it but for the time being I'm content with having one part of the island be the "town", and the other for things like an orchard, rock garden, flower breeding, and other miscellaneous things I want to build. Custom paths are a must though because most of the in-game ones are either too bright for my tastes or just don't look all that good in my opinion.
We seem to have a similar idea, around my plaza, it is going to be like a town, and as it gets towards the secret beach, it's going to get more woodsy.
what makes cottagecore so hard, is that i would like to have a neighborhood where all my residents are together but.. it’s cottagecore.. so it’s best if it has a natural look but god something about placing the houses sort of ‘randomly’ is so hard
I picked one stretch of road to put my houses on and put them in almost a zig zag pattern, none of them line up with a house on the other side and they're all different distances from the main road
Check out an island tour called "This TROPICAL RESORT Is The Best Yet" by Chase Crossing. She did her houses in a neighborhood structure but it still looks really nice and natural, if you replaced her wood plank path with the dirt path that everyone is using for cottagecore atm I think it would look fantastic, I modeled my neighborhoods after how she did hers.
I put all my houses on the second layer of cliffs which is all flattened out aside from a waterfall on one side and there’s a path between houses and they’re all completely symmetrical, but I have tons of flowers and 3 waterfalls and used hedges between each house, and there’s mostly cottage core items aside from a few other random ones I think suit the villagers personalities. It’s definitely not as pretty and cottagecore-esque as everyone elses, but it’s not quite so uniform either, and you can definitely make it even more full and natural if you want
me watching even though my island is gothic horror-themed: 👁️o👁️
(do relate to the "would a grandma like it" tip tho)
That's such fun idea! I'd love to have a spooky forest island :0
That sounds so cool oml !! When I get the game.. maybe I could friend u and visit? 👁👁
@@emi-ne1kv omg yess but my island is pretty incomplete and probably will be for a while but youre still invited!
thank youuuu! and also for those who feel upset about their islands: it's a game and your cute villagers want to see you happy + this game is about being happy/at peace :,)
yep ^_^
Yep the hat is of upmost importance
Definitely.
Cookie Kat or a frugal hat lmao
Someone took my 🅱️iscuits I don’t have animal crossing new horizons yet but the frugal hat is everything
Dj Vex BRO NO JOKE U MADE THE HAT UR WEARING !! hehe glad u like it
Cookie Kat i could send u da code haha
me aggressively trying to clear my island of my poor design choices to make way for cottagecore
This is so helpful and I couldn’t be happier with how wholesome you are. Also, girly is okay. Girly doesn’t mean bad, it’s just a kind of aesthetic. So if you want “girly” stuff but don’t like to be “girly” go for it! Be you my little cottagecore pals!
Just now restarting my island completely and boyy howdy did you ever help! I struggle with rivers, waterfalls and cliffscaping but the way you did this was brilliant!! Cant wait to get started!
Thank you so much for saying to experiment and have fun and it doesn’t have to be perfect! Sometimes we don’t even realize how much pressure we put on ourselves
this is really helpful! You deserve way more subscribers and support :)
Thanks for the kind words! I'll be making more AC videos in the future so hopefully I can grow this channel and make it better.
Thank you! I finally found a cottage-core tutorial actually easy to follow, all the others are really hard for me to follow so thanks!!
I didn’t even know I was creating a cottagecore island until I saw this video. 😂
I really liked how straight forward and helpful this is! Thanks! I look forward to more tips!
Thank you! I'll be working on a new video this weekend.
AAAA THANK YOU! I needed this video SOOOO MUCH!!!!! My island is finna be so amazing now (TEHE) also, if you want a cottage core island, try to get the villager Cally!! Her house looks very cottage core and she matches the aesthetic very well :)
Your island looks so good I’m struggling with a theme and how to sort everything out and how I want it to look and this helped a lot thank you so much🥺 (earned a new sub♥️)
your island is so wholesome i actually love it
I don’t even own a Switch and can only play Pocket Camp, but this is just so calming and lovely! So fun and relaxing to watch
I just came from the thumbnail to say FINALLY someone that doesn’t terraform in perfect squares!! 🙌🏻👏🏻
Omg i used to compare my island to other islands your so underrated tysm Your the only cottagecore yt who dosent flex
I was kinda stressed out but this video was so soothing :D Really awesome tips
I just want my island to look awesome so at the end of the year I can sit back and say : "Damn"
watching this video helped get me through the dreaded creativity block, thanks!!
The last minute of this was what I really needed to hear as I’m watching this with my hand on the reset button 🥺
Thank you for this video ♥️ I love cottagecore islands!
I'm kinda going for a fairycore island, however this video still helped me. Thank you ^_^
I dont have new horizons but this definitely helps with the aesthetic of my pocket camp this was such a helpful video
Im not going for cottagecore(im not rlly sure what it is yet tbh) but this still helped!! I haven't unlocked terraforming but its nice to get an idea of what I should do when I do unlock it
“Girly”? HA! What’s that? Sorry I’m a little unfamiliar on the outdated ideas that associate that gender is binary. Your Island is super nice tho~ ✨✨
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT
ɪ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ɪ'ᴍ ʀᴀᴅ check the top comments sis 🤡✨
Sarah A such a twelvie 🤧😽
Periodttt
going for the cozy cottagecore vibe for my island, new sub!
Thanks for this inspiration, particularly at the motivation end.
Lol
Thats right, I just to look up to other Islands and felt bad about mine, but now o learned how to do things, and I feel pretty confidente about my island
I love your Channel!☁️✨
wait this is so underrated. Keep it up I look forward to more vids ~💚
Thank you for this video! I was searching ideas for my island
I'd rather die than terraform, so I'm just essentially using the natural shape of my island and loading it up with trees, flowers, and decorations until you don't even notice the land itself
Sara lmao same here girl
BRO NO JOKE I MADE THE GOLF HAT UR WEARING !! glad u like it hehe
keep it up dude! on ur way to a good channel, can’t wait to see what u come up w
Thank you!
I need to move all my houses but I need *money* for that ;-;
I’d say I could lend you some but I don’t have any myself
The easiest way for me atleast to gain more bells is to buy and sell turnips. I was able to pay my debt for the second floor in one go by selling turnips
Keep checking your turnip prices every day once in the morning and once after 12 noon. If you have a high price, you can open up your island on the turnip exchange website and people usually come to your island and leave tips behind. If you do open your island, I would gate off areas of your island that people can’t access your flowers or trees and just make a gated path to the Nook store. You’ll give the website your dodo code so there won’t be any major damage visitors can do.
@Meg ty :)
dabble in turnips, i refused to try it at first but when i did, i earned enough bells to pay off my final house upgrade and move buildings and make bridges and inclines whenever i wanted to. I recommend to join an AC discord server and hope they have a channel dedicated to selling/buying turnips...if they do, look for people where their nooklings are selling for 400+, 500+ and 600+ and they do their queue on Turnips.Exchange for a more organized queue. Look out for queues with 100+ or 50+ people lining up since there's a high chance it'll end before you can enter the owner's island. It happened to me twice in one day where i waited for 5+ hours in total, i almost went crazy lmao. good thing there are other plenty of users with lesser queues but buys turnips in higher prices.
thank you for this! really enjoyed it ✨
thank you so much for making this video, it's really helpful! subscribed
I’m using a mushroom 🍄 path and a mossy rock pattern too. I add it in random spots to look more natural.
aw I saw bruce in the corner of a few frames, one of my favorite villagers
I'm going for a more nostalgic cottagecore vibe, but this kinda helped me!
Aw. The wholesome clip of Mr. Rogers.
As there aren't many furniture that you displayed as a cottagecore theme, I wanna list some more I guess? Mushroom set, Pretty much any plants, portable record player, kettle, rocking chair, Books (I use lost item books too, just make sure they aren't owned by a villager you like.), The teddy bears.
Cottagecore and witchy vibes is my theme and the last tip helped me a little~
It's not really the most in-depth explanation but you tried!
*Claps virtually* Well done?
Love this video honestly
The only thing I have in mind when making cottagecore is just literally be messy and put random stuff that you think fits the theme and place it anywhere. And buncha flowers and terraforming
I'm really struggling with the paths on my cottagecore island. At the moment it's just a dark dirt path but I've tried to mix in custom designs like leaves scattered around. Do you have any path suggestions? I know stone custom designs is one, but no matter what I try I just can't seem to make it look good.
One idea is to use the stone paths and make them swervy and lead up to the entrance of a house rather than just straight. I will mention this in my next video.
Rocks clovers wood
I still struggle with how to make it look good but it’s all subjective! So go with what you think looks good! But definitely have a variety of custom paths - I love using clovers, wooden paths, flowers and stone paths
I tend to use clovers, small stepping stones and some wooden plank custom designs for mine
Thanks so much for the ideas! I made my paths more curved and am still in the process of placing down the custom designs. I'm using a mix of planks, stepping stones, stumps, and also filling in empty spaces with a fallen leaf custom design, flowers, and small weed custom designs. :)
i actually hates my island so i restarted and being honest i don’t regret it at all! i love that i restarted in very happy 💕💕💕
That “oh yea make sure your character wears this hat (the tulip hat).” And the awkward, eerie silence made me laugh because I have that hat and I wear it religiously 😭
Good tip is to make a nice museum area. Made my island fell so much bigger
I love cottagecore. So excited for fall mushrooms. I'm going to make a parcialy cottagecore island. My native fruit is peaches but I want to go to a mystery island and get apples to make an apple orchard. 😌🌻🍄
i don't think you can get a different fruit from the mystery islands (except coconuts) you need to visit someone's island who has that fruit or have them bring it to you
@@emmaforde3745 I know you can get different fruits from mystery islands. My sister got peaches and oranges from mystery islands (she has pears as her native fruit) I was wondering if you could get apples from a mystery island if you have peaches as your native fruit. 😊🌻
your island is beautiful :)
Dang it that secret 6th tip, though! Now I gotta go shopping!
ty for le advice :3 im starting a cottage core island cause im bored of mine
Need that mush lamp 🥺✨ it’s so pretty
I am definitely going to try and create a cottage core island
I tried before but it turned out too towny, Tysm for this video! 🧸
Btw, can you make a video on your favorite custom paths? 👀👉🏼👈🏼
Ty for this video! I just started acnh!
ty this help me a lot ☺
I've had 2 other islands so far! I've reset and I'm on my third island.. But I decided to do I different type of island.. Because my other islands had more of a pastel cute suburban feel... but I really want a more abandon island type
How do you get the mushroom items?
The first creator code in the description doesn’t appear to be working?
Hey!! How’d you unlock that custom terraform path permit that overlaid flowers and leaves?!
You mean you guys aren’t randomly dropping blocks on your grounds?!
Okay but what do i do with the villagers i got when i first started they are so colorful
can u make a video on how to make a natural looking cliff, cliff stacking, there arent ANY videos like that and im having such a hard time terraforming cliffs i dont even wanna play anymore ;-;
Terraforming isn't a huge deal! I drowned out my shotty terraforming with lots of decorations and I don't even notice it
The very end about the hat 😂😭😂😭😂
Oh my lord thank you for the advice
i’m not sure how to describe my island theme but i’m going for a sort of underdeveloped, natural, farm-y vibe with limited terraforming. so like cottagecore but just less busy and messy? if that makes sense haha
Are there any tips for when your still early in the game? I recently reset my island to make it a Cottage core and I haven't started the mission to get KK slider to my island. Nooks cranny also isn't helping since it keeps giving me modern stuff like a water cooler and Basketball hoops😐
Edit: also when I can finally get what I need this was VERY helpful! I generally only find island tours and clothing advice for the aesthetics so it's nice to finally find tips and tricks!
wow cosy little house there
I really wanna do a cottage core island theme but I don't have half of the things I need sadly-
I wanna visit your island :0 good job
Haha thank you. It's far from being ready for a full tour but hopefully I can show some completed sections soon!
Can you achieve a cottagecore island in acnh without online membership??
nobody:
dj vex: u need lots of flowers
me with my whole island covered in flowers: *ok*
I want a certain vibe for my island but have no clue how to get it. I want a witchy, foresty/natural feel with cottagecore style buildings and such. Any ideas?
Breed black flowers, lots of trees. Make custom patterns like fairy circles, maybe secret witchy places hidden in the woods.
addition:
the summer solstice flower crown!
What's some advice on making those secret areas you mentioned?
Basically to create secret areas you can use terraforming to create an area surrounded by cliffs so it feels secluded. And then use terraforming to create a narrow passage to it. In the area you can make a pond or garden or whatever you want.
I will have an example with what I did in my next video which I hope to have uploaded by tomorrow or Monday.
@@djvex6180 Thank you so much!
1:10, omg do you see me down there? You don’t? Good.
I need that hat i cant find it in the able sisters ;(
My island's gonna have 4 themes 0-0 soI'm trying to blend some together- it's gonna be a mess (gonna b because my island is 2 stars rn)
Question: where do I find mushrooms?? (Thanks for the tips)
*subscriber +1*
Mushrooms are only available in the fall. So you will need to buy them from someone who has time traveled to the fall and has them.
You can ask AC Facebook groups or Discord channels. I prefer Nookazon.com since sellers have reviews so I feel like it's less likely I get scammed.
If you never used Nookazon before I highly recommend it. I have an older video on how to setup Discord and sign up for Nookazon on my channel.
Dj Vex omg thx I'll try it out today :)
My color scheme is lily of the valley plus pink mums with a bit of red roses
lmao now its white uhhh whatever you call the typical flower looking flower and roses as well as whatever pink flower i can find.
Is that why the first thing a villager gave me was a tulip gat
HOW DID BAM KNOW?!?!?!
I low-key wore it everydat until I got the outdoors hat, now I mostly wear that or something else every so often
I don't ask myself if a grandma would like it, I ask if I like it :) but.... there is a little grandma living inside of me..
Time to change my island theme
AGAIN
Thanks
I reeeeeaallly wish you could change the name of your island without having to COMPLETELY RE-DO EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN. 😤😫😔
THANK YOU
Thank you for watching!
okay, hear me out. i’ve been thinking of resetting. but, i’m scared i will regret it. i have over 140 hours and a 4 star island. i have no theme. everything is scattered. i’ve always, ALWAYS wanted a cottagecore theme. do you guys have any advise? (or should i just get rid of every to make a blank slate?)
If you want a blank slate I’d suggest to move your houses to the beach and flatten everything, plus you won’t lose your hours. You don’t have to restart your island to make it look nice though! like he said in the video, don’t get too caught up into seeing other people’s islands
Luna R. tysm! i’ll think about it, but i am feeling a bit better about my island.
JSHEHD THAT ENDING MADE ME LAUGH BC I BOUGHT ONE OF THOSE YESTERDAY
I bet hardly anyone watched until the end and saw that😂
I want to plant a lot of flowers but I don’t know if I’ll be committed to watering every single one of them everyday, do u have to water all of the flowers u planted on ur island everyday?
Nadiah Vazquez I chose all white flowers which makes it easier bc I just need to water them once. I almost never water my flowers bc I’m lazy so I just wait for it to rain.
You only need to water them if you want them to breed/duplicate so if you don’t need any more then don’t bother watering them, i dont think they wilt in this game?
Cottage core vibe
Tip one: white furniture
Tip two: follow tip one
I took one look at ur thumbnail and now I'm sitting in my bed sad af lmao
