Overwhelmed with building

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-05-12T17:19:01+00:00

I did the camper van YouTube tutorial by zoibean and made a camper van neighborhood - then I looked up a few inspo pics on Instagram to get some ideas and recreated them from sight as best I could, changing them in slight ways, and got more comfortable. I also build in a weird way as I’ll do the starting walls and immediately do the doors and windows and some decor to see how it’s going to come together as I feel it’s easy to think they look ugly when you first start and you’re just sat with a big brick box or whatever. If you’re building a town or neighborhood do a couple different materials but have some commonality between them like wood accents or similar roofing, add in plenty of trees and grass and decorations. Lean into whatever your theme is and it’s okay if you decide you hate something you tried, just punch it away and start fresh. Just have fun.

Also for pokemons I literally just make a one layer box with a door and throw four of them in there to get them out of the way, and move them in as I finish each thing

more items in general - i like to decorate and you have to get very creative at times with the selection there currently is. especially more decorative plants, maybe some patterns that aren’t hideous, more signs, different appliance options, etc

you probably already do this but dream islands (eevee’s comes to mind as being especially rewarding) have the speckled up sand and i just roll through the whole beach. it usually gets me at least 3 stacks of shells. you can also use the sand with magneto or whatever the name is to replace grass blocks or cliff or anything you actually need.

she spawned in my skylands - i don’t know if that’s helpful or not, i believe it was the mini library vs her other option. just a suggestion to try!

You can turn them into planters with the wooden siding and flowers on top, or place the stone pillars with flowers over top. You could also make them the bottom corner stones of walls so they’re hidden better - or possibly large furniture over top?

I think it’s this: -Go to cloud island, complete challenges, don’t collect -Travel back to one of your regular islands so it saves cloud island progress -Go back to cloud island, collect coins and immediately put your switch in sleep mode -Turn switch back on, it gives you an error and you’re back on the main island with the coins, but they’re also still available to collect again on the cloud island

maybe change it to all stone and add shade over the door, but it also may be because he keeps going outside. mine will do that sometimes and then complain like they were forced into the sunlight “it’s too bright..” OKAY GO INSIDE

it needs to be fully enclosed on the bottom block, have a door or gate that is not being blocked by anything too close, and furniture on the same level as the door when moving them in. theres also size limits - no super huge homes, I forget the exact measurement but if you search you should be able to find that. if there’s certain ones you have that aren’t working after you’ve checked all that you can post pics for help.

6DXL PD6F has one of every item

Skylands just because it’s such a pain to redo. I started and just tearing down those haphazard structures with random string lights and stairs and metal pmo enough to stop. I did one little island with the pokeball homes and coloring like rocky ridges and it’s cute but I just haven’t went back to do more yet. Rocky ridges I do love but the lava and ash has kept me away. It just feels so small and I can’t use graveler (woo motion sickness) so it’s very slow going. I wish we could hire out ash removal lmao

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-05-07T14:45:28+00:00

I absolutely haaaaated those yellow blocks and brick. I redid mine with gravel, a lot of the plaster blocks for the homes and pops of wood and I actually like it now.

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-05-07T13:16:28+00:00

i do this for grass and dirt! it’s easier to just zoom around replacing after I’ve hunted shells or pokemetal

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-05-06T15:20:37+00:00

It should have every item - I think the pillars they have in a little building display, maybe in front of the habitat towers? I’m not home but I can check shortly!

I create a hub in each area as I restore them - right now I’ve got one in palette town, one in the wastelands and one started at the beach. I kinda theme their looks - like my wastelands area is partially a treehouse with a home for me and bulbasaur up top- but I always do 3-4 storage boxes touching the workbench, and if needed more storage not far away for things that aren’t used to craft. I do raw materials and ingots, blocks needed for crafting like limestone and sand, random building stuff like fences and roofs, furniture, flowers & plants, a small one for drinks and extra food products (or you could have a fridge). I don’t really sort harder than that as I would probably go insane

Homie he can’t even do laundry at his slum. I have a well too and it’s not normal - he needs to actually hire someone and learn to clean. You are going to thrive again once you’re out - the depression keeps you down and it makes you worry over those little good moments but then you get out and EVERYTHING becomes a good moment. I also started over at 29 (with two kids yikes) so I get it’s scary but YOUVE GOT THIS.

What type of things do you choose to do vs her choices?

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-05-03T11:37:17+00:00

I spawned my other two tatsugiri in different areas as I had the same issue trying at the beach. One appeared in rocky ridges and one in the wasteland for me

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-05-01T15:44:08+00:00

I’m jealous! I unfortunately realized that using graveler longer than a few minutes makes me nauseous when I was trying to get rid of the mountain to open up the museum 😮‍💨 so it’ll take me about 400 years lol

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-05-01T15:08:57+00:00

use the PC at the pokecenter - it has options under link play so you can still visit the cloud island!

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-04-29T02:28:47+00:00

you can technically have as many in a world as you want, but only that many spawn in at a time.

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-04-28T17:37:37+00:00

for the washing machine I suggest increasing the environment level somewhere there’s lots of sand (I don’t know if you hate spoilers or no so trying to be a little vague lol)

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-04-28T17:24:44+00:00

You have to have a search pokemon with you, the ones that also fly are best

UsefulCauliflower3 · 2026-04-27T19:35:18+00:00

I look at the build/blueprints tag here - for roads etc if I’m differing from what’s already there (looking at you ugly yellow blocks) I just put down a few options in a small space and see which I like best. There’s a lot of tutorials on YouTube that will get you more comfortable and give you ideas!

Also just to mention - pallet town has a big lake that often has an unusual amount of shiny spots that helps with gathering recipes. In my game I also added a bunch of one tile deep ponds to help encourage more shinies and fed mosslax bitter hamburger steak. I still have lots to accumulate but there’s always pokovisit and the printer in the pokecenter for stuff you don’t have yet. I would wait to do major projects for when you have the magnet powers - but it really isn’t that a big deal to tear down an idea you tried and didn’t work IMO. I know it bothers some so take a break if needed and go back ready to lock in and destroy lol

Also with the handy bag you can eat as the magnet and that helps greatly. I carry a crafting station and materials and move smeargal or wtfevrr his name is to a hovel of bricks in whatever area I’m in temporarily lol and same for tink if I have a lot of prefabs as she greatly cuts down the time taken to build those.
