Making Steps

Editorial notes based on creator, source, or submitter information.

Start with the town area: finish the university and residential district first, then plan the hospital. After that, build bridges toward the countryside and add the village, shrine, and fishing area. If you need references for specific buildings, check the author's comments for links.

Recreation Notes ?

Logging some progress — The university and residential area in the town are mostly done, and I'm thinking about building a hospital next. After that, I want to add bridges, a rural area, a shrine, and a fishing spot. (I have no idea if I'll hit the item placement limit... so anxious!) Island design feels so rewarding. Filling in different parts of the map has also fleshed out the personalities of the Miis on my island — even though most of mine are stick figures! But they can have new identities too. Future-me in the chef outfit, just you wait — your restaurant is coming! Some of the buildings on my island were referenced from creators on other platforms (X and Xiaohongshu). If anyone can't find a particular design, let me know and I'll point you in the right direction!
