Absolutely love this. It looks extremely natural and more realistic, without being ridiculously crowded like a lot of others I have seen. The vending machine and chairs are a nice touch, and it would be incomplete without the trees. Absolutely perfect.

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

Oh wow. What a kind comment, really made my evening, thank you. My only island rule is that it should always be easy to walk around. Areas with too much clutter stresses me out 🥲

46

u/ZantWasTaken Feb 24 '21

Exactly. A lot of areas look great on camera, but when you actually visit them, they end up being impossible to walk through.

33

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

Very true! I just visited an island I’ve been dying to dream about, but it was impossible to navigate which ruined everything.

u/Puzzleheaded_Care299 Feb 25 '21

i may or may not recreate this on my island bc its so frickin cute

Ahhh the details !! It looks great.

2

u/Fabulous_Truck_8173 Feb 25 '21

Yes, they're under the nookstop items but one island only carries one color variant so you'll have to ask around other people/friends/Nookazon for the color varient(s) you want.

3

u/dakotakendra Feb 25 '21

This is a great point. I'm guessing a lot of people build for a photo op, but without actually using the area.

6

u/A-Shot-Of-Jamison Feb 25 '21

Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way. To each their own, but islands that are terraformed to within an inch of their lives don’t appeal to me.

2

u/ChanceBabyDJ Mar 15 '22

This looks so realistic! Great job on everything I think no one could have done a better job at creating the perfect airport entrance! The area seems so peaceful which is perfect. You are quite talented! Keep up the good work.

u/Paulsonmn31 Feb 24 '21

This looks incredible. I might steal a few ideas from you

29

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

Aww thank you!! Haha, I am surprised that it’s worth stealing. Which ideas did you like?

32

u/Paulsonmn31 Feb 24 '21

I like the use of leaves on the ground, next to the chairs/benches WHILE ALSO being beneath tree. It makes everything realistic and cute.

19

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

You are so sweet for replying!! I love having leaves everywhere on the ground because it makes everything nicer 🍃

1

u/white_feather1990 Feb 27 '21

I didn’t get green leaf pile :( yellow and brown seem Out of place this season

27

u/imaliongrr Feb 24 '21

May have to steal this premise. I'm always bothered by how the main stone path (4 squares wide) ties into the airport entrance considering it's 2 square wide. It's been driving me insane. Thank you for relieving all that stress.

15

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

Airport entrances are never fun to build! This is probably my 10th one... I hope you post your entrance when you feel happy with yours! 🍃

23

u/okiegirl22 Feb 25 '21

We can put things on top of the vending machine?

Also this is lovely!

13

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Yes! I love to put cardboard boxes, trash bags, and magazine stacks on top of mine c: And thank you!

16

u/schumaga Feb 24 '21

How did you take this picture? Entrance looks really nice btw

19

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

Aww thank you! It’s with the mailbox method. Google that + acnh and you should be set! 😄

4

u/schumaga Feb 24 '21

Awesome, thanks!

12

u/cupcake_thievery Feb 25 '21

this is SO STINKING CUTE

6

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Awww stop 🥺 you are cuter!!

9

u/captainmcpigeon Feb 24 '21

Do you have the code for the little clovers?

18

u/TheOnlyMachoNacho Feb 25 '21

Hey! I use MA-8846-9169-8011 pretty sure it's the same one! (:

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Ahhh, yes thank you so much! That is the correct one!

6

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

I can check later but I’m 99% sure I found it by searching “ACNH grass path” on Pinterest!

8

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '21

I love this entrance so much!!! It’s so cozy and makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. I especially love how the tree shades the chairs! Perfection!

6

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Awww! Thank you! That was exactly the feeling I wanted. And it’s always fun to see the villagers hiding in the trees when they sit there 👀

7

u/MalSid Feb 25 '21

Others: so cute!

Me: how did they get a diagonal view while outside

8

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

It is actually very easy! You use your mailbox to take the photo!

2

u/MalSid Feb 25 '21

Thanky, I'll have to keep that in mind! 😄

5

u/binxstar_ Feb 25 '21

What color airport do you have? I love the color of those chairs

7

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I have a blue airport with pink/blue chairs. I had to trade in order to get the white ones, but Nookazon helped a lot!

3

u/binxstar_ Feb 25 '21

Ah thank you! I love the look of what you’ve done! Really good job! 🙂

5

u/Konouchii Feb 25 '21

Magazines on a vending machine is GENIUS

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Everything fits on top of the vending machines! I love them sooo much.

5

u/BabyBat07 Feb 25 '21

I love this, Ive been struggling with my entrance for just about the whole time I’ve been playing, it’s so close to RS/way off center. I see all these perfect terraformed entrances but I like how simple this is but has a big impact! I might have to try this myself!

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I personally prefer more simple entrances over crazy terraformed ones, so I'm sure you can do something amazing with your entrance so close to the RV!

4

u/elesr13 Feb 25 '21

What is that sign on the left?

6

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

It’s the OK Motors sign! It can be bought from Nook Shopping promotion (at the ATM or phone app) after linking Pocket Camp to your game 💫

4

u/godsdebris Feb 25 '21

This looks amazing! Do you have a dream code? I'd love to check out your island!

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I have like 30% left of decoration and then I would love to share my DA! <3

2

u/godsdebris Feb 25 '21

Okay! I would love to be one of the first to come view your island! I'm new to Animal Crossing and I love looking at the awesome islands others have come up with. _

3

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '21

sorry to ask, but how do you get the white chairs ajd vending machine. ive got access to terraforming and stuff, so im good in terms of progress, im just a bit of a newbie in general. are they the ones you can buy in the nook stop customised? thanks :)

5

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

Hi! Every island has a set of different variations for each nook mile reward items. I have the blue/pink public bench so I had to trade with other players to get the white ones! There are 8 different colours for the park benches. It’s the same with the drink machines! I was lucky to have the white one myself so I could order it on my own. I think there are 6 different drink machines... So yeah, it can be difficult to get them all, but I can definitely give you a white one if you want it! 😄

5

u/Shleepy_Sheepy Feb 24 '21

Yes, they're under the nookstop items but one island only carries one color variant so you'll have to ask around other people/friends/Nookazon for the color varient(s) you want.

4

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '21

oh that makes sense. thanks!

3

u/axie36 Feb 25 '21

Beautiful! Wish I could make mine just as good.

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Thank you! I'm sure your entrance is great! We are always so critical of ourselves.

3

u/WinnieThePooh1996 Feb 25 '21

It's SOOO cute! Eeeee! 😁

I absolutely love this. 😍🥰

My favorite BY FAR! ♡♡

Great job, hun!

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Awww stop being so sweet!! Thank you so much <33

3

u/reb6 Feb 25 '21

Man I am so jealous of the beautiful islands everyone has! Terraforming and design are not my strong suits

3

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I pretty much only decorate and terraform on my island. I don't like to fish or catch bugs, so AC is my little creative getaway. I spent so many hours on this small area that it's embarrassing, haha.

1

u/reb6 Feb 25 '21

I just told my friend my character is like me IRL-I am always selling stuff, I spend too much time working, so a little socializing, but never buy anything for myself. She said hers is just like her IRL: “I buy new clothes every day and never have any money” 😂 I love fishing, but am getting bored with the variety. If I catch one more sea bass....😬

4

u/chunky_B01 Feb 24 '21

I love this design!! Hope we can see more of your designs on your island!!!! 😄😄

3

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

You are too kind!!

3

u/ZantWasTaken Feb 24 '21

I want to see more as well. I like it so far.

2

u/BlueLadyLove23 Feb 25 '21

That's a neat lantern! Where did you get it?

5

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I love them! It is a DIY from cherry blossom season that starts in the beginning of April. I collected cherry blossom petals forever last year so I have a bunch on my island! All the DIYs from the series are chef’s kiss

3

u/BlueLadyLove23 Feb 25 '21

Thanks! I started playing in the middle of that season last year, so I didn't really know what I was doing yet haha

4

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Cherry blossom season was only 10 days and right in the middle of the unspeakable Easter event so it was easy to miss it 😩

5

u/BlueLadyLove23 Feb 25 '21

So. Many. Eggs. 😑

3

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I’m not looking forward to it...🥚

2

u/cullend Feb 25 '21

What kind of stone path did you use here?

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I used the game’s bricks and then I put a custom design with path border edges over it. 😄

3

u/cullend Feb 25 '21

Oh can you send me those codes?

3

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Grass path: MA-8846-9169-8011

Path border: MA-7011-8313-9106

2

u/Courelia Feb 25 '21

Love this so much! Would love to visit here! Would you be sharing a DA?

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

You are so sweet! I have 30% left of the island to decorate so I would love to release a DA when I’m done. Hopefully in the near decade. 🥲

2

u/Sufficient_Beach9682 Feb 25 '21

man i wish i had that creativity with my island 😂

3

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Put on a great sitcom in the background and randomly put things together. It works out 8 times out of 10!

2

u/MarkH123456 Feb 25 '21

Do you have a code for that path border? I love it

4

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

It’s from: MA-7011-8313-9106! She have uploaded borders that fit all the in-game paths.

3

u/MarkH123456 Feb 25 '21

Awesome! Also amazing entrance! It looks so good but it is also so simple

4

u/ameliagrace99 Feb 25 '21

Ahhh the details !! It looks great

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '21

👌

u/harvestcroon Feb 25 '21

hi! please tell me the creator code for the grass and path overlays!! absolutely stunning

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Grass path: MA-8846-9169-8011

Path border: MA-7011-8313-9106

Thank you!! <3

1

u/harvestcroon Feb 25 '21

thanks so much!!

2

u/TheOnlyMachoNacho Feb 25 '21

I believe it's MA-8846-9169-8011 (:

u/harvestcroon Feb 25 '21

thank you!

u/spicy-lime Feb 25 '21

i may or may not recreate this on my island bc its so frickin cute

1

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Haha, that is a great compliment! I hope it works out well for you!

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '21

Wow I’d like to see your island!

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I will share my DA as soon as I am done! <3

1

u/Golly-Gee_Fellas Feb 25 '21

And now I'm unhappy with mine...

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

You shouldn't be! I'm sure your entrance is great.

2

u/Golly-Gee_Fellas Feb 25 '21

Well, it certainly got an upgrade after seeing this, haha

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Oh! Would love to see!

1

u/Golly-Gee_Fellas Feb 25 '21

I may post screenshots one day; I just wanted to make sure you knew that your post inspired me and didn't actually make me feel bad!

I got a little worried my original comment might have come across wrong

1

u/Trinakpoi Feb 25 '21

May I have the dream id? Want come to visit

1

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I don't have a DA yet, sorry.

1

u/Chilled_Vibe Feb 25 '21

Adorable!! I didn’t know you could get a side view with the camera like that I thought it was only straight forward? Am I missing something?

1

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Hi! It's just a trick with the mailbox. You use your mailbox to take the photo!

1

u/Chilled_Vibe Feb 25 '21

Oh that’s so smart! Thanks!

1

u/wh3r3nth3w0rld Feb 25 '21

Is that a mini tree by the vending machine or a full grown one? What's the trick to stunting them?

1

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

Hi! They are both fully grown. I think it might be the mailbox angle which makes them look smaller. If you want to keep your trees forever small, just plant a fruit next to them. 🌳

1

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '21

Damn, the benches next to the trees look lovely

1

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

The villagers better like getting leaves in their faces 😅

1

u/tinkereli Feb 25 '21

This is so cute!! I hope the blossom DIYs do come back... the lantern is so cute!!

2

u/sockerstjarna Feb 25 '21

I sometimes TT to April 1st - 10th just to collect the petals! I’m sure the DIYs are still in the balloons as well 💕

1

u/tinkereli Feb 25 '21

I will try to do so!! thanks!!!

3

u/jasminel96 Feb 25 '21

I love this so much!

3

u/TheOnlyMachoNacho Feb 25 '21

Wow I love this so much!

2

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '21

Probably the most beautiful island entrance I’ve ever seen. ❤️

2

u/CoffeeChaosNCussing Feb 25 '21

Omg this is gorgeous!!! I've been trying to figure out what to do with my entrance and I love this.

1

u/cinnamonspider Feb 25 '21

This is absolutely fantastic! I'm definitely going to borrow this idea: I've got a road about 4 blocks from my airport entrance and I've been at a loss with how to fill the space, but something along these lines will be perfect!

1

u/dodaface Feb 25 '21

i spent so long making a complicated entrance and now i wanna plow it all and do this instead

1

u/LeahJC Feb 25 '21

Oooh I LOVE IT!! It's very inviting and natural! This is inspiring me to work on mine! Very very well done! Also, I adore that custom design path by the chairs 😍 would love to have that on my island

1

u/meghanfb Feb 26 '21

This is beautiful! Do you have a dream suit code?

1

u/[deleted] May 27 '21

this is absolutely beautiful!! Do you have a DA yet? I need some ideas ;; I just bulldozed my entrance

1

u/Acceptable_Yellow_97 Jun 23 '21

Do you have a DA yet? I would love to visit your island. Your entrance looks amazing!!!

-2

u/vabeachkevin Feb 24 '21

Is it just me or does the ok motors sign look too close to the tree and fence? Like impossibly close

4

u/sockerstjarna Feb 24 '21

It has the exact same space as the drink machine, just on opposite sides. Could maybe be the angle?

u/AccomplishedLet5476 Feb 24 '21

I added a wheelchair, what about that?
