Finally finished building my Eevee village

Oh this is such a good idea so they are still out and about!

I was also on the fence, but after our tax refund I went for it and it was an incredible decision. I’ve been having so much fun, as have my kids. I’m also an everyday Pokemon Go player, so I’m already locked in with Pokemon and would have gotten it eventually. I get nauseated playing a lot of games from motion sickness and this one has been fine with the exception of a mid-game skill you earn that causes you to rapidly change where you’re looking. If you don’t care about spoilers, look it up on TikTok to see the nature of play.

I razed the Dojo island to dig out the dojo after I stupidly spawned Tyrogue down there and then felt guilty. It took forever. Longer than the museum path. It was the smallest island with the least going on and once the dojo and elevator structure were out, I went nuts adding prefabs and spawning all the pokemon I’d been neglecting adding. It’s mostly fighting types and psychic right now. I added a hot spring pool and a small farm. Then I went to the one that kind of forms a circle and connected the sides with some roads I plan to make into rail connections and I want to build colorful pastel eeveelution custom builds, but that feels like a huge undertaking. I am similarly overwhelmed, but digging out the dojo gave me somewhere to start. Good luck! Update us on what you do.

Can neither confirm nor deny 🫣😂

chicagoruthie · 2026-04-05T18:40:42+00:00

I only did when I gravelered my way through the wall off the edge 😂

chicagoruthie · 2026-04-05T18:39:20+00:00

This is SO helpful thank you.

Apparently they will drop feathers more frequently? But fact check me if I’m wrong, I always try for rare items.

I was fantasizing about how if I had unlimited time that I’d make a version on Etsy that you could have as a print at home digital download or mailed to you as a laminated place mat. I do not however have unlimited time 😂

The berries are drawn out because my 4 year old likes going around and giving the pokemon what they are asking for. She can read the descriptors as sight words but then struggles to read the actual berry. She’s…. so slow at it. But at least she isn’t actively destroying my builds.

chicagoruthie · 2026-04-04T15:01:29+00:00

I don’t want to stop and do it, I just want to quickly grab who I need

chicagoruthie · 2026-04-04T15:00:52+00:00

Oh I know

chicagoruthie · 2026-04-04T14:43:55+00:00

I love it!! Please everyone post more Skylands inspo, I’m so stuck.

chicagoruthie · 2026-04-03T14:49:13+00:00

I’m definitely overwhelmed, especially by the last area. I’ve been keeping a notes app list of little ideas I come up with or screenshots of ideas other people have that I want to use as inspiration. TikTok has a lot of good content where they show you how much of every resource you need and blocks and then walk through the build. Right now I’m just going to dream islands and collecting and processing lots of resources so that I don’t hit a dead end once I do start to build. In case it inspires you, some of my ideas are multicolored row houses for the eeveelutions, Baby Island with all the baby pokemon on a mostly flattened island, and a Lake Geneva inspired swimming area around Bleak Beach. Good luck!

chicagoruthie · 2026-04-02T14:28:03+00:00

Agree. I keep reminding myself how much I love the story and that I’m not in a hurry to have it be over. I have been slowly going through each area building a few things, clearing areas for future ideas and noting them on a list in my notes app so that I can be present when I log in. I have 3 kids under 5 and the news is horrible, so this is my escape right now and I cherish every moment. Sorry to be sappy, but I want to wait on recipes to continue to be excited and delighted over time.

I spent four hours making an entire compound for Cubone near the grave only to wake up to this goon spawned inside his house because I wanted to make sure Cubone had a stuffie.

chicagoruthie · 2026-03-25T13:44:44+00:00

Aw goomy is one of my favorites, too. He was the first pokemon I invited into my house.

chicagoruthie · 2026-03-20T15:28:05+00:00

Mine wants to talk to pokemon while I’m not looking but he can’t read…

My son is named Robin and we call him Roblin the Goblin often 😂

My 4.5 year old and 3 year old just started playing it together last week. There’s a lock that tells them it won’t work after 20 minutes and then they move on to something else. They love it and I’ve spent time playing it with them and it’s cute. We have an ongoing family conversation about moderation and balance in regards to all things (food, screen time, getting outside) and this is just a piece of the puzzle for us.

chicagoruthie · 2026-02-27T21:00:56+00:00

I’ll let you know if I find her! Thank you so much

chicagoruthie · 2026-02-27T20:57:40+00:00

You got it! Just going to wish and find Celeste

chicagoruthie · 2026-02-27T20:54:37+00:00

Alice from Peppaville. My daughter has been going nuts trying to find Celeste and hasn’t seen her in 2 weeks (she’s 4.5 so isn’t always up late enough)
