How to Unlock Terraforming : How To Get a 3-Star Rating In Animal Crossing New Horizons?

Whenever I start a new Island, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, I always tell myself to relax. Slow down. Just enjoy playing the game day-to-day. Don’t rush all the milestones to try to get K.K to my Island. But, unfortunately, that only lasts so long. Like many others, once I start clearing trees and setting down roots, I find myself wishing I could terraform. So here goes….

In order to unlock Terraforming, your island needs to achieve 3-star rating from Isabelle.  Once there, Nook will invite K.K. to the Island for a concert. After the concert, you can purchase the construction license from the ABD in Resident Services. 

How do I qualify for a 3-Star Rating?  

In short, you need to decorate your Island.  Make it look “lived in” So get started. If you have trouble…  here are some “Dos” and “Don’ts” to consider….

Do plant lots of flowers- You really can’t have too many flowers Buy all the different kinds from Leif, steal them from other Islands, and look inside the cooler in your Nook Shop
Don’t throw them out in clumps- Nook likes his greenery to look nice. Put some thought into where you bury seeds. 

Do plant lots of trees- I try not to cut so many down as I go. If they’re in the way, I just dig them up and move or store them. 
Don’t forget all the different kinds of trees like coconut and bamboo

Do help Nook sell land so you can invite strangers to live on your Island - You need at least 8 neighbors to get a 3-star rating.
Don’t ignore the camp site - you will have to invite the camper to become a permanent resident. 

Do put up fencing - you need at least 50 fence pieces to qualify
Don’t simply store the fences Nook gives you- Make sure to place them around your home or other buildings. 

Do remember your Island maintenance- make sure to pull up all your weeds and other dropped items like branches and rocks.
Don’t leave any holes or stumps- you can leave 1 or 2 stumps for collecting bugs but otherwise makes sure to clean up after you chop down a tree.

You can always check in with Isabelle if you need help with what to do next. She will read Island reviews and then offer advice on how to fix them. 

But here’s my advice…

Typically, whenever I find I’m having problems getting to 3 stars, it’s almost always because of the amount and types of trees and flowers. Just plant more. 

Also, keep checking back with Isabelle. If she tells you you’re at 2-stars, go plant more trees, add more furniture items and come back. You don’t have to wait until tomorrow. 

The last review Isabelle will get is from K.K. When Nook hears it, the concert is set up for the next day. And finally, after the concert, you will be able buy your construction license from Tom Nook. 

How do y’all feel about this process? Have you ever had a really hard time getting to 3-Stars? Did you figure out what the problem was?

I feel a kinship with a little sheep and can't seem to keep her eyes open for a photograph...

I always get questions about this so I thought I would just write down one response in case anyone else is interested.

What is Nookmart? 

Nookmart is a 3rd-party, digital marketplace, where players can buy in-game items, for real cash

What can you buy? 

• Any item, in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you can buy with bells, miles or poki
• Any item you can craft, and every variation of each item
• Resources like wood, rock or shells, including seasonal items like eggs and snowflakes
• Any item you can earn through gameplay, like a framed photo or crystal hearts
• Tools
• Fish
• Insects
• Fossils
• Works of Art
• DIY Recipes
• Bells
• Nook Miles Tickets
• Villagers

How expensive is it?

Most items are 99 cents

Bundles of similar items and higher amounts of bells are more. 

You can get 108 million bells for about $65 USD

How Does It Work?

It works like any other marketplace, you add items to your cart and pay with a credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay and most other forms of digital currency

At checkout you will be asked for a dodo code. Then you open your airport and wait. 

How long does it take? 

Typically it is almost instant. I’ve never had it take more than 5 minutes for someone to arrive at my Island. The visitor is pretty efficient; dropping your order on the beach. They leave as soon as they’re done.

Is Nookmart Legit?

I am speaking on my own experience, but I have been using Nookmart for years, and have never had an unpleasant experience. When needed, the customer-service response was instant and helpful

Every representative has been polite. They left my order, and dipped, with a “Thank you”

They seem to be available 24/7. I’m not sure how they do it.

All of my purchases have looked and performed perfectly in the game. 

Is it Awkard? 

I’m sure if you stand in front of your airport and try to have a conversation with your visitor, it could get weird. But you don’t have to be around or available. As long as you are somewhere on your Island, your gate is open,  and your screen hasn’t gone to sleep, the items will get dropped off and the employee will leave. 

Does it affect your game? 

Not that I have seen or felt. You can fish or collect resources while you wait. 

Is it Cheating? 

Not in my opinion. I am a firm believer that Animal Crossing New Horizons is meant to be enjoyed and the journey is the point. If you are more enthusiastic about the game when you have enough resources to complete whatever project you’re working on, then Nookmart can provide you with a way to do that.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask, and of course, if you have had an unpleasant experience with Nookmart, I would really like to know.

Shino is one of my favorites. I love her style, but don't tell her that, her little fashionista heart might explode! :)

She's a cotton-candy dream packed in a gummy-bear body. Judy's manners are as impressive as her starry eyes.

In the past, I may have made some… hasty and sophomoric judgements, about listings that used variations, to sell Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards.

I might have used words like “lazy” and “misleading.”  

I felt, and I know, at least a couple of people, agreed...

(and maybe even triggered the post with their constant rage texts.. I’m looking at you J&J)

 ...listings with variations, were notorious for, presenting a drop box with, either nothing in it, or an overpriced bait-and-switch number.

 But,  I’m not getting many sales on eBay, lately and…well…a girls’ gotta eat, 

So, I thought I would try something new, and create a listing for cards, with variations, for rare, Series 2 cards.

Turns out, creating a variations listing, is not as easy as it looks.

So, I humbly apologize and take back my previous, regrettably ill-mannered, comments. 

Hopefully,  my listing is different in that it is:

1. All rare cards
2. Actually underpriced for every card
3. All the same price
4. The number for all the cards in the listing is hugely discounted

She was a little infatuated with Boomer one time so I put their cottages next to each other and they were both thrilled... which is just...weird.

Mine is Bluebear... no Maple..Oh I forgot Olive... Pekoe... wait JUNE!

Is she cosplaying as a super hero, or does she actually have powers? She certainly is super cute, so who cares?
