Have the maximum number of villagers
To increase the number of inhabitants on your island, here is the procedure to follow:
- You must have unlocked the Town Hall and the possibility of installing new land with Tom Nook. A piece of land costs 10,000 bells and you can place it wherever you want. Don't hesitate to consult our complete walkthrough to understand how to get to this point in history.
- Once the land has been built, you can bring people in via the Amiibos, the animals on the mystery islands or the animals in the campsite. Just ask them to come and settle.
Please note that you can have a maximum of 10 animals on your island!
A beautiful landscape
The golden point to get a good rating for your island is to place furniture everywhere on your island. Do not leave an empty place. You are free to make tropical or rural developments, do what you want. Your taste is not a criterion, only the spaces you use. Above all, do not forget the beach and the rocky seashores, they also fall into the rating!
Develop infrastructure
Your island must have bridges, stairs, fences, workbenches and store-bought furniture to get a good rating. Make accessible the four corners of your island to satisfy your inhabitants with bridges. These infrastructures are available in the Miles Nook shop in the town hall.
A clean and flowery island
Your island must be clean! This means that we must pull all the weeds, remove all the waste and objects on the ground and underground. In addition, decorating your island with flowers is an excellent point to allow a good rating of your island! The more flowers, the better!
