I had been planning on posting these once I'd written up a tour. Doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon so it's just images for now.
Thought it was about time to make a new park image, since I spent some 10 hrs or so redecorating after the Faire. I don't have any pictures of what it looked like right before, but the designs didn't change much, just the locations of the islands. Wanted to group similarly colored islands near each other because I clearly have too much free time on my hands. You can see where they used to be on the very old picture.

What a lot of great parks in this topic! Def gave me some ideas for future decorating! Want to post a pic myself for the first time so not sure if it will work but here goes
My newly made Moon Island:)

Does anyone else absolutely DISLIKE the asymmetric shape of the islands??!! Decorating sure does give my symmetric brain a tremendous ache! LOL
I totally understand you, but the shape of the islands is much much better now than at the beginning of the game.
Mermaid, I also feel your pain. Crumble, I hadn't realized the islands are a different shape than at the beginning. I'm going to have to see if I can find some old screenshots to check that. I do know my dragons & I liked the wild, natural look at the beginning (ex. My cave island & lightning island); but now seem to be gravitating toward a more symmetrical, structured look & feel. BFS does make it a little (a lot) difficult to indulge that. In addition to having a little more symmetry possible, being able to rotate items would be delightful!

In the beginning the islands were a little bit smaller and much more irregular. The blue paths mark place that wasn't accessable. You see that it wasn't symmetric at all. The back was the worst part. Then suddenly - I don't know when it was, maybe 2012 or 2013 - all islands were a bit bigger and looked kind of funny because part of them was put up with stuff and in the front there was some free space. I had to redecorate them !
As for the rotated items (I think you mean mirrored items ) : that was asked for really often (and I support the plea ) but BFS answered that it was not only a thing to mirror the items, they have to change the shadows too and so it would be a completely new decoration which would be too much when done with each decoration.

I too would like the islands to become more like the lost island and be square. When I was decorating the lost island I loved it so much because it was so much more roomy than I thought. Why? Because it was square! I know what people are saying, "you can just use a smaller square inside of the island", but that creates irregular shapes of unused space which in all honesty looks ridiculous.

Huh, I guess that it is hip to be square.
Lol that was "acute" post you are very funny sir -tips hat-
Have been playing with the Moon Island, but I couldn't really do much. Guess I could if I choose to display one of each dragon then I prob have more room for decoration and such. But, nah... It is quite difficult to move things around when islands, storage, and hibernation cave are at maximum capacity. Hope you like them
Some friends touch your heart in a way that you can never erase.
Your moon and sun islands are beautiful, Buffy! I really like the yin-yang symbol you created with the element flags on your sun island.
Merci!
I copied the yin yang symbol from another member's park, and it took three tries to get it correctly center. One of my goals is to design the yin yang symbol with Dark Rift and SnF eggs and so far I have 18 Drk Rft and bunch of SnF pedestals. I need about 25 eggs for each side.
About the Berry dragon, when it first hatched it's green as you leveling it it will change color (lvl 4 or 5) to red, then at lvl 8 or 9 its color will change to deep purple...

How would it work with the FoY? Not sure, hhhmm.
It may have taken you three tries to get the yin-yang symbol correctly centered, but I guarantee it would have taken me more tries than that. In fact, I would have gotten frustrated and given up most likely. I'm not very patient when it comes to things like that...which is why my park is in the state that it is. LOL!
Replacing the element flags with eggs would be neat! I really love the design of the Rift eggs, and I am hoping of breeding at least one Dark and Light Rift Dragon during BEB.
I was not aware the the Berry Dragon's color changed according to it's level...that certainly explains why I kept seeing it depicted with different colors. Not to mention the color changes akin to that of a ripening berry.
In regards to the FoY, I have no idea how that would work with a Berry Dragon. Maybe on the Baby setting the Berry Dragon would be green, on Juvenile it would be red, and on Adult it would be deep purple. Hmm....Deep Purple....Smoke on the water, fire in the sky!
One of the first dragons I turned to juvenile state with the new possibilities of the foy was the Berry dragon : it gets red Green when baby, red when juvenile and ble when adult.
When the light and dark elements where introduced, I had no place for those eggs on my egg island. I ended up with a sort of ying yang. Can you find it on this picture ?
Later on I dissolved my egg island and only kept a smaller version on the LI.
