Thank you so much, I have been playing animal crossing for almost 2 years and no one has been able to explain how to do this like you, very simple terms you’re very good at what you do I appreciate your videos.
such a helpful video and even though I basically already knew all the tips already, it was kinda nice to get reminded that transparent designs to stop flowers exist lol because for some reason i never use these anymore
Thank you Malin this was so helpful! One more thing I’d love to see a video on if you haven’t done one before is different methods and tips for putting down the 9 tile paths, I tend to struggle to get mine to look good!
This video was extremely helpful for me! I was very confused why some designs got cut off by the paths and some didn’t because I didn’t want them to get cut off and the explanation of the empty tile was lovely to have so thank you😁
I went into this video thinking "eh well I know everything already but I like listening to sparksby" ad then promptly got my mind blown at 12:44 cause I did NOT know that at all. Thank you for this info!
really good video, i went into it thinking i basically knew everything there is to know about designs and paths, but now i feel like you really gave me a better understanding of them - even if i already knew something, the way the video is structured helped me organise my knowledge better!! and of course i found out some new things as well! thank you for being so thorough and clear, i really loved this 💛
Thank you, thank you, thank you - I have been playing for about 9 months and didn't know about placing the custom patterns whilst standing in one place - this will save soooooooo much time - I am still finding my way and have decided to wait until I have been playing for a full 12 months to really get my island designed properly - or there again - I might just carry on with playing in the unorganised mess it is!
Hi Malin! Yes this was very helpful. I did not know I could decorate under the camp site sign. It took me a few tries, but I got it. Thank you, it looks so much better. Currently working on castle, did 1 hhp vacation home and updated 2 others that were so small from the beginning. Great video! Hope you're having a great day! Still Rene, Mama Cat just fits better😄
This is hands down the most helpful ACNH tutorial I've ever seen, thank you so much! Does anyone know if it's true that we're getting some more custom design spaces soon? I can't remember if I read that somewhere, or just dreamed it because I'm so flipping obsessed with this game, and so badly need more CD spaces to work with! TBF, I'm probably struggling because I'm a newb, but my biggest problem is managing my designs. When browsing I see so many incredible designs that I tend to 'save for later', especially in the standard designs (not so much in pro designs). And then I lose track of what I've used, so weeks later I'll overwrite something, not remembering that I *did* use it somewhere, and then I discover my mistake when I next stumble across the 'stained-glass window forest path' which is supposed to be a 'dirt and flowers path'. The clean up job is sometimes a real pain in the butt, and it also sucks when it changes something for one of your HHP clients! Final problem I have is related: Because I'm so cautious about overwrites now, when I download a pattern made up of 4-6 tiles, for example, I end up having to save them NOT in the configuration that they should go on the ground (as shown in this video), but instead scattered all over the place, i.e. some at the top, maybe 1 in the middle, and the other 2 somewhere near the bottom of the screen. In summary: It's a total mess, and has therefore become quiet unenjoyable to deal with, which is a real bummer :(
hi, you might know this already, but you can actually organise your designs by choosing the one you want to move, pressing the Y button, choosing 'swap spots' and then choosing the spot where u want it to go!! this way it doesnt replace that design where u used it on your island, it just moves it in your custom design collection so its easier to navigate!! 💛
Your island is so gorgeous, the kind of cozy I’m looking for. Thanks for giving this video I feel a little more confident going forward on my own paths.
that campsite tile!! I accidentally placed a design there and couldn't figure out how to change it and it looks so dumb lol now I can finally be rid of it! thanks!
I‘ve been playing this game since release and this helped so much! I just had that struggle with the campsite and I accepted that I can‘t place a designcode there but I‘ll definetely try again now!
That face at 13:26 is giving me "I'm six months late to an appointment but my phone notification just reminded me" vibes You are a knowledge queen and my islands are 99.9% better thanks to your videos
I almost broke my nintendo because of the way placing paths work in acnh. I have only raged at like two games before this. I can't believe that, out of all the frustrating games I have played, animal crossing is the one that got to me. Thank you so much for making this video and saving my nintendo.
This came right when I unlocked 3 stars yay! 💙 Would you be interested in doing a video about treasure islands? How to get to safe ones and ones you suggest for items? I’m learning that they are pretty necessary for getting lots of items to decorate 😊
I won't be doing an entire video about them, because Nintendo doesn't really love them and I'm scared I could kiss my channel goodbye 😢 But if you check out some Twitch streamers that offer treasure islands as a benefit, you should find something you like! I hope this is ok! ❤
Omg i finally can get this flowers away! I leave the rule of flowers in my island for almost two years and now i spent like 3 months trying to get them out... Thank you again!
The only thing I wish worked differently is removing tiles, with the design tool, any path you place can only be removed whilst in construction mode, outside of construction mode you can't remove them, but this is NOT the case with any custom designs, and if there's one thing I often do is accidentally pressing the pickup button which would wipe away custom designs from my floor. I wish the game would treat custom designs placed with the island designer the same way as the default tiles
Hello! I want to overwrite one path without changing what is already on the floor. I don’t have space for more path, I use everything. What should I do?
I’m looking for paths to put in front and on the sides of all trees so flowers and weeds don’t grow where the fruit typically falls. I could do transparent to keep it easy. Also thinking of a pretty path that blends well with grass. I have very large orchards and harvesting is difficult with flowers everywhere. Ideas?
I loved the path designs you showed in the video! Do you have any codes for them or the name so I can look them up? I’m new to ACNH and I’m finally able to decorate and terraform!
I don’t see the custom app pencil icon on my island designer for pathways like in your video. I have online access and have downloaded designs but I have to go through the app each time rather than slap it down using the island designer. Help!
Great video, thank you! I have a question that I cannot find an answer for anywhere and I hope you can help me please? Should you lay down an in-game path before you overlay with a custom path? Is it better to do this or is it personal choice?
I don't have Nintendo online subscription and I don't have a lot of money, so I think I will have to do my own custom designs, but that's not bad, I'm learning how to do pixel art
I know I’m super late to this video, but I’m just now at the point where I can do this in the game and was wondering if I will lose all of my custom patterns that I downloaded online once my Nintendo online membership expires? Anyone know the answer to this?
I've been trying to figure out why a custom design that I made won't curve with my paths that are given to us when we are building. I made a Mickey Mouse path, and I've been putting the regular paths down and then putting my custom design over it but it's still a square.
THis was so helpful thank you so much !! Can we visit the island that s featured in this video ? Looks so pretty with the bridges and small islands. Have a great weekend !
You can! I do show a few different ones in this video, but I think you might mean my swamp island Naporia: DA-4095-8108-9849 ☺ I have all my island DAs as well as codes saved here: www.sparksby.com/islands ❤
I have to open the phone and then place down the pattern on the ground is there a quicker way to do this instead of open the phone you want a pattern on the ground?
Excellent video, learnt a few things. However I’m struggling with paths, I have a custom path of stone, but then I want to add a pile of newspapers on top but can’t figure it out, it says I can’t add a custom design.
One thing what I wonder is that why no one make videos about how to make these amazing custom paths? I am not able to do that yet so I have tried to find videos about how to make those paths but all I can find is only couple of videos and they aren't that nice paths 😓
You can create your own Designs without Nintendo Online, but you wouldn’t be able to share them or download others, so you wouldn’t be able to use the portal! 🥺
Unfortunately not really… but you can test it a week for free and any custom designs you downloaded then you get to keep! Plus there’s a lot of tutorials online that could maybe help you create your own! 🥰
This was ZERO help. Im looking for a Grid to copy so I know how to make a shirt look grassy in a realistic way rather then just scribbling all over the shirt in green. This was ZERO help. You looked up what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a your path way and now you're selling it. I have learned NOTHING from watching this , Whole day waisted. Good Day Sir. I wanted to see you MAKE an original design from nothing
Can we talk about how adorabel Drift is during the intro? 😭
Was this helpful to you? 💛
That transparent Design will safe me so many nerves 🤯

The part where you talk about the “order” it drops was really helpful. Praying it covers if the slots are all full bc I need more pattern storage!

Omg! Overwriting codes! Game changer! Thank you🖤
You're set up is absolutely amazing!
This is so helpful! I had no idea I could delete my flag, cute cheeks and/or phone design and not lose them!
Thank you for this! The best video I've seen so far on pathing and designs. Super helpful!
i love your videos so much!! ❤️ they’re so inspirational 🥰

So helpful, thank u so much, especially with the sand trick for palm trees
thank you thank you thank you. as a newish player this is SO helpful.
Thanks for the good tips, I learned something new about pathways, I'm excited to try.
This has helped me so much! Thank you!!
Yay just started the video! I def need some info on this
So, so helpful! Thank you for the inspiration ♥️
Thank you for the transparent idea (: I have so many flowers, it's driving me nuts. Thanks again.
Custom design for a cube light?! I had no idea!
That's so cool! Thank you ❤
Omg i finally can get this flowers away! I leave the rule of flowers in my island for almost two years and now i spent like 3 months trying to get them out... Thank you again!
I never could figure out what order to do the nine tile thing in thank you
Tyyyyy this helped me so much in ANIMAL crossing tyyyy^^^^^

This video is SO helpful that I wish I could give 100+ thumbs up.
I dont have a online nintendo account. Can t i get custom designs. You said via phone? I dont get what you mean. Do you have a more basic tutorial?
Your Island has a very Fantasy and/or Viking astetic!
So basically all the fun stuff you need to have an online account? Which is about give or take 20 or $30 a year depending on your country😊
this was so helpful!!
this is vary helpful thanks!

thy codes are immaculate
thank you soo much ⭐🤗
i have a question… if my membership expires off will i still have my codes in my slots or will i not be able to use them anymore?
What do you press to round the paths every time I do it again it wipes it away???!!!
Is there a way to get back the official designs after deleting them?
I have like a little inventory for costum things how can u make that bigger?
hi, when i look at my custom designs, i can’t reorganize them. do you know why? i don’t have the same possibilities…
Does it not give you the option to press ‚Y‘ to swap codes? 😯
All I've ever wanted was just the custom pathing to show up on the map
THis was so helpful thank you so much !! Can we visit the island that s featured in this video ? Looks so pretty with the bridges and small islands. Have a great weekend !

What about placing multiple different designs on your walls?
i NEED help with the 9 tile paths i want to use them on my island but i just can figure them out so you should make a vid on it!
I have to open the phone and then place down the pattern on the ground is there a quicker way to do this instead of open the phone you want a pattern on the ground?
No
Do you have to pay to get custom designs from other creators?
As you will need a Nintendo Online membership to downloads them, yes kinda. The designs of course are free, but the memberships costs money.
For custom designs, I have MO- what do I do
Neeed help how can you move or switch the place of the custom design on sand😅
Excellent video, learnt a few things. However I’m struggling with paths, I have a custom path of stone, but then I want to add a pile of newspapers on top but can’t figure it out, it says I can’t add a custom design.

THANK YOU THIS IS SOOOOOOO HELPFUL

How or where do i get see-through pixel paths?
How do you use the patterns Sable gives you
Is it possible to create a pro portal design offline? i just started playing animal crossing😅
You can create your own Designs without Nintendo Online, but you wouldn’t be able to share them or download others, so you wouldn’t be able to use the portal! 🥺
I do not have the option for custom paths, what can I do to get it?
It’s a license you have to purchase from the Nook Stop in Residents Services 😌
Is there any way to download paths without an Abonnement in the Nintendo e shop ?
Unfortunately not really… but you can test it a week for free and any custom designs you downloaded then you get to keep! Plus there’s a lot of tutorials online that could maybe help you create your own! 🥰
This is cool.
How can i place path UNDER the buildings? ç_ç
OMG I HAVE DRIFT TOO!
Do you need the dlc for this?
No, the DLC only has impact on the villager houses 😊
@sparksby thank you, that's good to know!
Does anyone else struggle with the very limited custom design slots? So many beautiful designs, so few slots 😫
Did you already expand them to 100 slots?
@@sparksby how do you do that? That would be so awesome!
@@rhyanonstuddert7384 there’s something you purchase at the Nook Stop that will increase it to 100! 🥰
Shame you can’t use custom patterns but keep the sound of grass or other path design. It’s the only reason I don’t really like using custom designs.
great video i just have a question.. is there no way to get cute path designs without the nintendo online membership?
In that case you could make designs yourself but unfortunately you can't download them 😕
5:28 how to place custom / order
I wish you could have talked slower😢 information overload for me😂
Oop, sorry! But in RUclips you can actually slow the video down if that helps! ❤
