Greetings everyone! Phil here from the Nintendo Village back with another Animal Crossing design video for you all.
In this video, I'm going to show you how to put together this sweet football pitch.
I'm gonna give you all of the designs you need to do it, and I will walk you through putting it together step by step.
Thank you very much for tuning in. If you're new around here, consider subscribing to stay up-to-date with all of our weekly uploads
And so without further ado, let's get into it!
The first thing you're going to need to do is find a space for your pitch.
For the pitch itself you're going to need an area that is nine squares high and
17 squares across. You're also going to need a couple of extra squares for the goals, seats and so on.
You are also going to need 30 slots for all of the designs involved. Now don't worry,
you don't need to design them yourself. I've uploaded them all
so just use my Creator code down there in the corner to find them all and I'll put it in
the description for you as well.
Okay, so once you've downloaded all of those designs and you've got your space marked out
the best  place to start I find is from the halfway line.
So drop the top center part at the top of your pitch, and then drop two halfway lines squares as well.
Once you've done that now you're going to move on to the center circle.
Now I find it easier to lay out the center circle in my designs like this to make it easy to find everything.
Drop the halfway line center circle top, followed by the center spot,
and then below that you want to drop in the bottom part of the center circle.
Below that you're going to want another two halfway line pieces...
and follow that up with the bottom center piece.
Okay, so we've got our halfway line now, so now we just need to finish off the center circle.
Head to the top right part of it
Drop in the center circle top right,
And then you can just follow that up with the center circle middle part on the right and the center circle bottom right part.
Jump over to the left-hand side.
Drop in the center circle bottom left the center circle center left...
and then we finish that off with the center circle top left.
And that gives us our center circle and our halfway line. It's looking pretty good already right?
Head down to the touchline...
and we're now going to have seven of the bottom line pieces. This is quite simple.
You can of course do this using the paths tool,
but I find it's actually quicker to use the just "place on the ground"
because you can place two in quick succession like that.
It always places the second one, one square in front of where you're stood.
So once you've dropped seven of those from the halfway line,
head up to the top and do the same again along the top touch line.
This makes for a really cool centerpiece or, like, a unique part of your island I find.
It was one of the first things I decided to design when I saw the
Animal Crossing trailer, and saw the soccer goals and the soccer balls in there and I thought
"Yeah, I'm definitely building a football pitch for my Island."
Once you've done the seven of them we have almost the first half of the pitch!
Ok, so to do the goal line
I find it's best to walk across from the center circle
until you're level with the touch line and then drop in a Left Goal line. Now you'll notice this is kind of off center
and there's a reason for that which I'll explain shortly.
Once you've dropped that first one, the next thing you need to do is drop two of the left goal line bottom corners.
Once you've done that the next two slots are one left goal line
and then a left goal line bottom corner to join it up with the touch line.
And then basically you just do the same thing at the top. So you're gonna want two of the left goal line top corners,
and then above that you're going to want one left goal line
and one left goal line top corner. And that joins it up with the touch line. See it's looking pretty cool, right?
Now the reason that that center line is slightly off-center is because if I get the soccer goal out here...
 
and push it back level, you'll see now that the posts are in line with the goal line.
If that goal line wasn't slightly off-center
then everything looks kind of outta whack and the goal line's either in front or behind the goal,
and it looks a bit rubbish.
So, now that we've done that, we need to finish putting together our penalty area.
To do that we need to drop a bottom line here and then another one in front of it to join those lines up,
and then on the outside - so on the 12-yard box - we want to drop another bottom line.
So just two bottom lines across.
Same again up at the top.
We want a top line for the six-yard box, and then two top lines for the 12-yard box.
Finishing off the six-yard box;
First off here, we want... now for some reason
I don't know why I've named this this but I've called it "right grid" - don't know why.
But you want one of those...
then you want the left penalty spot...
and then you want another right grid...
and then that finishes off the six-yard area and the penalty spot.
To finish off the 12-yard box
You're gonna want another right grid...
at the bottom...
and a right grid at the top...
and now we just want to finish off with the left area.
So obviously, left area top first, left area center below that...
and then the left area bottom.
And there you go!
That is the first half of the pitch! All sorted!
And then all you need to do really
to finish off the pitch, is just repeat that process on the right using the relevant parts and
you will have finished your football pitch. It's fairly straightforward!
If you want to take it to the next level you can add in these benches like this to make it like a little stadium.
Now, if you're going to do this the same as me you're going to need nine across the bottom and
eight across the top.
You order these from the Nook Stop terminal within Resident Services...
and this is also the same place that you get the soccer goals
You'll obviously need two of those, they cost four thousand miles a piece.
Now bear in mind that you can only order five things from the Nook Miles terminal each day,
so it might take you a few days to do this.
The benches themselves cost 2000 Nook Miles and they come in different colors.
The colors on my island were orange and green and that's why my strip and everything around my club
has adopted those colors.
Sort of ties it all in nicely.
So for example, the little ticket booth on the way into my ground is orange and green.
I've also customized a magazine on there to make it look like a matchday
program that also has those colors.
Obviously you can also see that I've got a home and away strips that use those colors,
and that trophy cabinet was a custom recipe I found as well.
I also found it's pretty cool if you hang up the
strips within the Able Sisters shop, you'll occasionally find that your villagers will wear them as well,
and so that makes it feel like there's actually a local team that all of your Islanders will support.
And that about wraps it up! Thank you very much for watching!
