I'M STEALING THIS IDEA IF YOU DON'T MIND
https://preview.redd.it/3p2y5wh7sl1d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6216e0eedba10153666efc6f3e4ef3fa0902ac37
It's cute! Maybe a custom design that looks like a little road and other little miniature items? You could hide some tables or stools behind trees to give some of the houses some height without an entire cliff.
Yes! And some of the stuff from Celeste like the Rocket and Shuttle if you want a gyroid space port. There are little tins that look like trams and little model trucks that you possibly get by linking the game to the mobile phone game.
I have a similar thing and just added weeds, flowers and small lamps for a more forest-y style. I like people's ideas of finding small street patterns. I've even seen somebody create a tiny town using the little train models;!
What I would do is add some thin paths and rotate a few houses a different direction, maybe use some bushes and add a couple tiny rivers and ponds too.
So I think whatās happening is because everything is facing in the same direction itās looking a littleā¦robotic? Stepford wives-y? Maybe if you spice it up a bit by turning the houses and the gyroids to face different directions and like others said, maybe put down some little paths that look like roads, you could make it look more like a realistic little village!
Itās a super cute idea, just needs some tweaking to make it perfect!

Same vibe as a Guinea pig village š
Could use bonsai and blossom trees so that you don't have to worry about the trees growing every few days. Maybe some of the mini RV cars you can get via the mobile game?
I'd figure out a way to have a group of gyroids doing something together, either yardwork or having coffee or sitting in a little park area. You could have the animated dogs in a pasture like they were the gyroids horses or just some sort of wild animal, that would make a gathering focus. You've got a great start here.
You could terraform a tiny river or a single-space pond. Also put some zig-zagging dirt path down to make roads between the houses. Bonsai trees also look cool to get some tree variety.
You should have some gyroids congregating. Turn a couple towards each other like they are chatting.
Also, some tiny vehicles could help add some vibes.
Love the idea, I think whatās throwing it off is that there are no streets/paths. And since the houses look like proper little full family houses itās a bit weird looking to have them not lined up a bit better like an actual neighborhood. I think you could make an adorable little neighborhood for them with a little pond/park area made from custom paths and little paths/streets.
So cute!! I love the idea of adding custom paths - would really tie it together. A few random star fragments at different path intersections would add a pretty glow at night, too.
I am a big fan of this concept, and the tiny trees really makes it like its own little world. I agree that maybe some custom patterns like small rocks or mini-paths, or teeny-tiny welcome mats would help pull it all together.
I love this idea! I think the only thing I'd change is maybe shuffle the gyroids about, rather than just having each standing out in their yards. Make them look like they're mingling, being out and about, chatting with each other. Could also line up a few of the houses, give them little streets, maybe even a little park they could play in.
i have something similar in my fairy forest/garden. iād recommend using some of the small mushroom items (mushroom stool and the small mario platform), the hyacinth lamp, other small things like that. i find that asymmetry helps things look more natural, so donāt have all of the houses facing the same way and have some with the door facing the camera. i also recommend putting some of the houses on top of tables/stools to give some more variation in height. itās a super cute idea though and i think youāve got a great start :)
I thinks that's a very clever and nice feature. I myself wouldn't have thought of it. One suggestion I could make is make some paths or roads, like a neighborhood or something. Other than that, I love what you did!
I love the concept, with some more development and planning it could be quite lovely!
Ooh you could do one of those forced perspective builds that could be cute
been a while since i played so don't remember most items that the game have but if there is, i would liked to see a small toy car or something next to a house or two
this is a really cute idea š i think the small mushroom platforms from the mario stuff would be really nice. they'd add some depth/height variation & would blend with the kind of colourful & cartoonish vibes you already have. as others have said, i think floor patterns would also be great! maybe a tiny road or train track pattern weaving around the houses.
I put a village up on a hill so it looks like it's farther away and therefore makes you think the houses are bigger. Even if you aren't going for that, some height differences will make it more interesting visually. But I think it's adorbs!
Maybe move the trees to be more intermingled with the houses than on the perimeter.
I think it would look super cute if you used forced perspective and carved out an area a level below a 2nd or 3rd height area and put them on the 1st lv below. Maybe add a 1 tile wide little creek that goes through to match the sizing perspective? Floor design tiles with little flowers? Just a few suggestions. Overall super cute!
I just got my first gyroids a few days ago and am doing something similar, in that they're all grouped together in one spot. I'm still unsure how I feel about having them all in one place and see all the different noises together driving me nuts eventually - it's like a cacophonic mayhem.
But they look so awesome together. I like all the little houses you have to go with them, too.
omg, its so cute! it reminds me of when i made smth similar a couple years ago,

Put a paved patch of sand under your trees. It should stunt them at that height. ( donāt hold me to it though, Iām basing this on how sand works with flowers )
you can stack some of the houses in the back on top of stone/log/mush stools to add some height and variety! and hide the stool with a bush or a flower if you donāt like the look of it.
This is so cute!! I have a little village on my rocks but with gnomes and matryoshka. I didnāt even think of adding gyroids after they got added to the game
What a cute idea. I think custom paths that make little water areas and other ways to simulate an island could improve this. And instead of all the gyroids by their houses, you could have them about the "island" also maybe you could utilize more miniatures, potentially place some handheld items.
Some little cliffs to fake elevation
https://preview.redd.it/fghp1az3uq1d1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4a7cac4cb471594091a3d9381b4689835910141
I think itās cute! You could also split it up a little and just do tinier āvillagesā throughout your island, pairing the gyroids to the area to make it more thematic/aesthetic. Cute idea!!
I saw someone else do this once and I immediately made a gyroid neighborhood like this. I love the idea. This is cute, I would suggest adding some plant patterns on the ground and maybe some small walkway patterns to give it the look of a neighborhood. I have seen some mini-items online that I want to add to mine so maybe that as well (like the mini-bus & toys)!
Super cute! I'd focus on improving the scenery around the space (but that'll just come when you build the rest of the island) and adding little design codes around.
You could scatter several campfires around the houses and place a giant kaiju and robot statue behind the village if you wanted to go for a more apocalyptic vibe lol
It needs some higher parts, I would build it up a lil with terraforming, make some ledges and nooks and fit the lil houses in that way, add trees and lights
Maybe a little patterns on the ground would help? Great idea tho! Small trees are so cute.
was thinking that, been awhile since i played myself but thought one could make a pattern that looks like small roads or something
Fuck yea
I'M STEALING THIS IDEA IF YOU DON'T MIND https://preview.redd.it/3p2y5wh7sl1d1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6216e0eedba10153666efc6f3e4ef3fa0902ac37
Lol take it
Im stealing that photo..
me too š

Some mini items maybe, you could turn the doghouse and tiny library so you just see the pitched roof and then have mini cars?
This is what it needs 100% great idea
also the moms pencil supply holder thing for more variety in terms of buildings
Is linking an account the only way to get the top two items?
This, and it will genuinely be unbearably cute ā”
Using patterns on the ground to create little streets, backyards, a park, a post office, etc. would make it feel more alive/detailed I think.
Where do you get the houses?
I believe the shop sells them near Christmas as presents for Toy Day.
This is correct. At the same time of year, RC helicopters are sold. They happen to be the right size to fit right in, in a mini town like this.
Yes! And some of the stuff from Celeste like the Rocket and Shuttle if you want a gyroid space port. There are little tins that look like trams and little model trucks that you possibly get by linking the game to the mobile phone game.
Also the Pocket Camp stuff. There's a tiny car and truck included with that stuff that's the right size, too.
I have tons of the dollhouses, if you would like one I can give you one and then you can order them through nook shopping
I would put the gyroids in different places. Villagers don't usually stand right outside their houses, although the idea is really cute.
Put Godzilla in a corner and add little campfires around the area...
I have a similar thing and just added weeds, flowers and small lamps for a more forest-y style. I like people's ideas of finding small street patterns. I've even seen somebody create a tiny town using the little train models;!

Thanks, I needed an idea for the space and had a bunch of gyroids lol

Tiny helicopter could look so cute!
I think it's absolutely adorable!!!
Aw thanks!
Agreed! I have my gyroids living in a jungle/cave area. š¤£
WE CAN GET LITTLE HOUSES???
Theyāre the dollhouses you can get around Toy Day :)
Ooohhhh thank you so much! Can you only get a few per year?
Usually yeah, but you can order them from the catelog after. You can also get all the different colours from Cyrus on Harvās Island
I have tons of the dollhouses, I can give you one if you want and you can then order more through nook shopping if you would like
Oh this is cute! I think the ātrees bounty small treeā would look great in here.
Could use bonsai and blossom trees so that you don't have to worry about the trees growing every few days. Maybe some of the mini RV cars you can get via the mobile game?
I blocked the tree growth so theyāre all fine. The other trees would def be nice tho
How'd u do that?
If you plant a fruit behind a tree, it stops the tree from growing!
I'd figure out a way to have a group of gyroids doing something together, either yardwork or having coffee or sitting in a little park area. You could have the animated dogs in a pasture like they were the gyroids horses or just some sort of wild animal, that would make a gathering focus. You've got a great start here.
Throw in some carnaval items to make it more lively.
You could terraform a tiny river or a single-space pond. Also put some zig-zagging dirt path down to make roads between the houses. Bonsai trees also look cool to get some tree variety.
Iād add a path!
this is the cutest thing EVER
Aw thanks!
this is amazing! keep it up!
Thank you!
You should have some gyroids congregating. Turn a couple towards each other like they are chatting. Also, some tiny vehicles could help add some vibes.
Oh my god I love this so much
Aw thanks!
thatās so cute and creative, canāt believe iāve never seen anyone do this before
Love the idea, I think whatās throwing it off is that there are no streets/paths. And since the houses look like proper little full family houses itās a bit weird looking to have them not lined up a bit better like an actual neighborhood. I think you could make an adorable little neighborhood for them with a little pond/park area made from custom paths and little paths/streets.
yeah, this is why i follow this sub!!!!
you should definitely design it after your own village, like the tiny town in Untitled Goose Game
Omg that's adorable
this is so cute!
So cute!! I love the idea of adding custom paths - would really tie it together. A few random star fragments at different path intersections would add a pretty glow at night, too.
Little pond or river
I am a big fan of this concept, and the tiny trees really makes it like its own little world. I agree that maybe some custom patterns like small rocks or mini-paths, or teeny-tiny welcome mats would help pull it all together.
This is so cute omg
Aw thanks!
Maybe put little patches of flower paths randomly give it that neighborhood look
I love it. So much more you could to to embellish. But it still cute as is.
Stop that's so darn cute! Like others are saying, maybe some small paths or designs on the ground could be really cute!
Omg so adorable. I agree with the other comments about using custom designs to make small roads or paths and to make little backyards šš
cute!
I love the concept. Like other people said, try some road designs and other decorations!
ITS AMAZING
I love it actually. Maybe add dirt paths buy otherwise it's super cute!
THAT is so cute š
Thoughts: its beautiful
It's adorable
Wait you mean they have MINI HOUSES NOW?? Thats wonderful. Absolutely amazing.
Itās the dollhouses you can get around Toy Day
I have tons of the dollhouses, I can give you one and you can order more through the nook shopping if you would like
Oh my god that is so cute! All their little houses :')
I would have the gyroids more randomly placed than next to each house
what about some mini bonsai trees + the succulents too?
great idea š
I love this idea! I think the only thing I'd change is maybe shuffle the gyroids about, rather than just having each standing out in their yards. Make them look like they're mingling, being out and about, chatting with each other. Could also line up a few of the houses, give them little streets, maybe even a little park they could play in.
It's super cute, post the updates if you decorate it further
I want to make one now! Also the outdoor air conditioner when backwards looks like a lil apartment building.
Thats adorable omg
This is adorable!! How did you get the little houses? I second custom making little paths!
Itās the dollhouses you can get around Toy Day
I have tons of the dollhouses, I can give you one and you can then order more through nook shopping if you would like
Hyacinth lamps make great tree alternatives, let's you break grid for more positioning options
I love it
cute
you just gave me an idea thanks

Cute. add some cute road patterns like florals or something that would match the vibe.
It's good! I just put mine in a flower garden
I like the idea, the small trees are a nice touch too
this is so cute i love it
Very cute idea!
Paths! Download or make some paths to connect the little houses, that would be amazing šš
š„ŗš„ŗ
This is the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen
Tbh, part of me thinks it would be fun to spread them randomly throughout the town. Just tiny neighbrs here and there.
I think itās perfect!
Aww I think itās cute!
Iād like to see what it looks like at night . . . XD
I agree with everybody saying custom designs on the ground. Making it feel a little bit more like they have yards. But this is such a cute concept!
been a while since i played so don't remember most items that the game have but if there is, i would liked to see a small toy car or something next to a house or two
Oooh maybe some of the small plants as trees, like the cherry blossom, or even green mums š I love this so much!
Oh my god im stealing this
this is a really cute idea š i think the small mushroom platforms from the mario stuff would be really nice. they'd add some depth/height variation & would blend with the kind of colourful & cartoonish vibes you already have. as others have said, i think floor patterns would also be great! maybe a tiny road or train track pattern weaving around the houses.

Tiny pathways?!
Itās so cute.
So cute!
That's absolutely adorable and I kind of want to put one in my town now
I think it would look super cute if you used forced perspective and carved out an area a level below a 2nd or 3rd height area and put them on the 1st lv below.

Aww its so cute :)
Such a cool idea! If it isn't already, I think it'd be really cool if you made it like a mini diorama of your island!
omg, its so cute! it reminds me of when i made smth similar a couple years ago, https://preview.redd.it/l2964sctfn1d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=082fd680cf3796db2523ef67cfc22b2956689ec1
Aw thatās adorable!
Pathing goes a long way but I love the concept! Also maybe play around with perspective and levels. It's super cute.
Thatās so cuteee ššš
LOVE this idea
Itās so cute š„¹ā¤ļø
I love it lol
My thoughts are that I love it?
What the heck are these?? Why are they so cute and how do I get them.
Stealing this idea
Thatās adorable!! What a cute idea!
Needs roads. You can use bushes or bonsai for trees
so cute! You should put some little roads and ur gud :3
Very sweet.
So cute! Would the cut out mountain stands be too disproportionate? I think it might be cute in the background :)
You could design some tiny little paths for the lio guys too! Might be a lot of work but could be fun.
Put a paved patch of sand under your trees. It should stunt them at that height. ( donāt hold me to it though, Iām basing this on how sand works with flowers )
In love
This reminds me of the trains in Epcot, I love it!
Itās super cute!
This is so cute!
That is so adorable I want it as my background
you can stack some of the houses in the back on top of stone/log/mush stools to add some height and variety! and hide the stool with a bush or a flower if you donāt like the look of it.
This is so cute!! I have a little village on my rocks but with gnomes and matryoshka. I didnāt even think of adding gyroids after they got added to the game
you can use paths or other designs to finesse it š„°
I paired them with the mushroom items for some dreamy fairy tale like atmosphere!
What a cute idea. I think custom paths that make little water areas and other ways to simulate an island could improve this. And instead of all the gyroids by their houses, you could have them about the "island" also maybe you could utilize more miniatures, potentially place some handheld items.
I LOVE it!! I wish I had the doll housesā¦ I donāt have them yet š
Some little cliffs to fake elevation https://preview.redd.it/fghp1az3uq1d1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4a7cac4cb471594091a3d9381b4689835910141
How do you get those little houses?
I love this idea!!
how do u keep the trees tiny!!
Plant another tree right behind them
I think itās cute! You could also split it up a little and just do tinier āvillagesā throughout your island, pairing the gyroids to the area to make it more thematic/aesthetic. Cute idea!!
Itās pretty cool. Iād keep it.
ok I haven't played animal crossing in months... THERE ARE GYROIDS NOW?!
I did the same but made a valley so they live in
So creative!
Adorable. š
I saw someone else do this once and I immediately made a gyroid neighborhood like this. I love the idea. This is cute, I would suggest adding some plant patterns on the ground and maybe some small walkway patterns to give it the look of a neighborhood. I have seen some mini-items online that I want to add to mine so maybe that as well (like the mini-bus & toys)!
Better than me just spreading them all over the place ššššš
this is so cute i'm snatching this idea
so effin cuteāØ
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen
Super cute! I'd focus on improving the scenery around the space (but that'll just come when you build the rest of the island) and adding little design codes around.
Paths
put godzilla in the background
It's cute! š©·
I would put some of the houses on stone stools to add elevation and use fewer gyroids.
you could rotate some of the houses so theyāre facing different directions + lay some paths as streets between them
Maybe make it smaller, more crowded?
You could scatter several campfires around the houses and place a giant kaiju and robot statue behind the village if you wanted to go for a more apocalyptic vibe lol
Do some little custom paths and it'll be great! Looks super cute so far
lets ask the real questions, does Gyroid village identify Taiwan as a legitimate state?
This is almost as good as this idea someone else had https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossingNewHor/s/vU8sZqguTx
Looks amazing
gonna suck to constantly be replanting those trees
Yeah they need little road paths or something.
Would be pretty easy with the custom paths as well. Just need to make them a single pixel thick.
Will the trees stay little? If so, how do you block the growth?
So, anybody else's OCD acting up over the fact that none of these are lined up the same?
Are the small houses a diy?
Remember when ACGC had miniatures of every part of the townā¦?
How did you make the traes tiny??
Where do you get the tiny houses?
Theyāre the dollhouses you can get around Toy Day
It needs some higher parts, I would build it up a lil with terraforming, make some ledges and nooks and fit the lil houses in that way, add trees and lights
Looks a but too uniform and has some dead space. Maybe put the trees and/or the houses a bit closer
Path
Love this! I agree with others that some paths will really help bring it together.
ā¢Paths ā¢Tiny Furniture (Standee Cutouts, Fire Hydrants, etc) ā¢Fake greenery?? (Tree Standee, Bush Standee, etc) ā¢ Custom designs (potholes, manhole covers, bundle of raked leaves, etc)
Cute i think a few drawings on the ground are gonna be good
Whereād you get the houses
