Weed growing guide:

Okay, here’s what I found out after picking and placing weeds for hours....

I believe you can have 120-150 fully grown/large weeds before they stop growing tall. I have 121, at this point the growth seems to slow so i’m not sure if you can get more than that. As far as I know, if you have more than the limit —say you plant over 150 all at the baby stage—none of them will grow.

you can have 150 total weeds before new ones stop spawning according to the ACNH guidebook

If you want your tall weeds in specific places you have to pluck the ones you don’t want because there 1. has to be less than 120 for them to fully grow and 2. the ones that grow each day are random, so one that you don’t like the placement of might grow instead of one you really want to grow.

If you want to do this all in one go, place the weeds where you want them then time travel, picking the newly spawned weeds each day until the weeds that are in the proper place are fully grown. At that point, you should be able to place baby weeds without them growing

once again, as far as I know, more than 120~ will stop new growth. so if you want all baby weeds, just plant a ton at once. And if you want tall weeds you need to control the new weeds until you have 120 tall ones

You could potentially pick every weed and plant exactly 120, watering them until they grow but I haven’t personally tried doing it this way.

Oh also, based on my observations and the ACNH guide book, the bigger weeds are more likely to spawn new weeds nearby. So, if you have a lot of big weeds, those are the areas where new ones are more likely to be each day.

henlo! a lot of people asked me about how I landscaped my town in some of the photos I posted so here are some of my tips for landscaping your island to make it look more natural or just add some cute touches :+)

Pick a theme! this is very important as you want to be able to landscape your town based on the theme/vibe you want on your island! For my town I want a woodsy/forest vibe filled with white flowers! (You don’t have to have one colour theme you can use several different coloured flowers in your town whatever you prefer <3!

Now you have an idea of what vibe you want on your island you can pick a spot that you want to landscape! At the moment I’m only focusing on one part of the island instead of doing several different parts of the island because I find it more organised but you can start wherever you like.

Use weeds to make paths or scatter a few around! you can use a mix of weeds (there are three different types) or you can use one type of weed to make a path I normally use clovers!

+ also grow some of your weeds to different stages or keep them small when making paths I usually keep my weeds in the first stage of growth I used this weed growing guide to help control the growth of the weeds

Plant flowers everywhere! Put one or two around trees and a few in little patches you can use one type of flower or put different types of flowers together to add some variety!

Have a mix of trees! You can plant cedar trees on the ground not just on the mountains and it looks more foresty when there is a mix of hardwood trees and cedar trees I also added a few bamboo and palm trees around my island to get a more tropical theme too.

+ I also like to chop down trees and leave the stumps in the ground to open up the space when there are too many trees around and they make cute little seats and make it look more realistic (you can also chop down trees at different growing stages to make lil mini stumps :3)

Use custom designs to decorate the ground, I added some sparkles, tiles, picnic blankets, wood planks, I also use the island designer app to lay down dirt paths to make small gardens/farms where you can plant saplings and flower buds <3!

Add loads of furniture/decorations and just really clutter everything like garden lanterns, benches , tiny libraries, books, stools, pillows, stalls etc. It really depends on what theme you want on your island :+)!

+ you don’t have to do this but I also add in single fences/ log stakes next to trees or flowers because they look cute idk?

customise items so they fit with your theme and overall vibe! Make sure that everything is the way you would like it! It takes a long time to landscape your town fully and you may want to change your theme throughout <3!

+ Here’s a small example with labels of some simple landscaping I did earlier I hope this helps explain it more?

i was writing a big long list of tips, but in the end i realized that most of them all boiled down to the same thing: avoid straight edges and perfect symmetry. they can work great for man-made features like canals and digsites, but for natural cliffs and rivers, that’s not generally the look you’re going for!

let rivers wind, change width, diverge and reconnect. pay attention to your shorelines/cliffs and try to keep them from looking too even. little islands and stepping stones look really nice, and can also be useful for crossing your rivers without bridges! little stand-alone cliff “islands” can be an interesting feature too.
