    This shows that your island doesn't need to be "perfect" to get those 5 stars.

      I got 5 stars randomly while trying to complete my rock garden. I had so many mannequins scattered all over my island that I could barely walk around, and when I got done I had some weird looking white flowers on my island (which I later found out were Lily of the Valleys).

    i'm still a bit unhappy with the tree hard cap that flat-out prevents you from getting five stars. i designed my island to have a long, winding pathway up the mountain that gets more rugged as you go, but the game didn't like all the untamed, overgrown wilderness. i even added cute furniture and paving and fencing to make it feel at least a bit traveled. but, no, isabelle just had to get lost in the woods on the way to dobie's house, and she just had to tank our rating because she missed her favorite talk show. smh

      Same for me. I went for a "cabin in the woods" theme, so my island is filled to the brim with trees to give off the effect that you're in a forest. For some reason Nintendo decided that alot of trees is a bad thing and the excuse? Villagers will get lost...
      Even though i have made a clear path that is fenced out and LIT UP BY GARDEN LANTERNS.
      Anyways, I don't really care for 5 stars, as long as the island looks fine to me then i really dont care. But i find this questionable on the developer's part. This design choice regarding the amount of trees limits what kinds of themes you want to do for your island and for people who DO care about a 5 star rating, that kind of sucks. Boo, nintendo..

    (6:22) Fortunately, this is actually incorrect!
    Clutter only counts items dropped on the ground, not on furniture. I have 30+ “dropped” diys in stalls and on furniture throughout my island, and Isabelle still gives it a 5-star rating!
    Also, as you may have noticed from her video, buried items also have no effect on your island rating. If you wanna avoid having dropped items, you can bury em instead! I have a little field of buried turnips and I think it’s cute bc it makes it look like I’m harvesting them when I dig em up. :)

    No one really "needs" a 5 star rating to build a beautiful island. Still, getting that rating is pretty straightfoward. Just fill up your island with flowers, decorations and trees, and don't leave objects around. I got my 5 star ranking much faster than I thought.

To combat the need for flowers and my hatred of seeing them clutter my island, I planted them all along the back of cliffs and stopped them from spreading with Lily of the Valley plants. Flowers exist for the 5 star and I don't have to look at them. Win-win.

    I literally restarted my island yesterday, it was difficult to come to that decision but I did it. It was insane but I already got Blathers on the first day so that was awesome!

    I understand how FREAKING HARD IT IS TO GET 3 STARS, so here’s my guide:
    Flowers rly are a big deal, so I planted some on each villagers house (I always have 10 villagers btw)
    I only needed two bridges and 1 incline
    Make little spots for furniture and crap
    She’s KEPT saying I had too much stuff laying around, so I picked everything up, yes EVERYTHING. Don’t leave anything out on the ground.
    Just keep doing what Isabel says, there’s no easy way, which is annoying, YOU CAN DO THIS!!
