How To Pick The Best Island Layout In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
arguably has the most customization options of just about any installment in the franchise, butthere's a big debate among players about which starting island layout is actually the best. When beginning a new save, Timmy and Tommy will help the player decide between a selection of four different island layouts to start with, and each island will have one of five starting fruits (apples, peaches, oranges, pears, or cherries), as well as four possible colors for the island's airport.
From there, the layout of each starting island can vary greatly — but what is the best island layout in? There are a lot of factors a player can consider before making their selection, and there are a handful of features about an island that can't be changed once it's selected, so pick carefully.
Avoiding common mistakes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can save players time and resources, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable island life.
In total, there are at least 95 different island layouts players may be presented with at the start of their game. According to a post on Reddit from user gamingchibix, the river feature specifically has a variety of routes it can take throughout an island, and they compiled their research together so players could see the range of options they have when starting a new island.
For the most part, the best island layout is one where Resident Services isn't too close to the airport, giving the player enough space to play around with different entrance options. When Resident Services is too close to the airport, it often makes for a scrunched entryway, leaving little room for the player to be creative with their design.
Certain features can't be changed once a player has decided on their starting island layout. For starters, wherever Resident Services is located on the island is where it will stay, as there is no option to move it as the player terraforms and does other renovations to their island.
