You’ll be stuck with your island layout for a long time, so make sure you have access to things you want (lakes, rivers, etc.) with whatever you pick.You cannot change your name or birthday after setting them at the beginning of the game.The world “island” is not added to what you type in. Whatever you enter will be the full island name. You cannot change your island name after you first set it.When setting up your island for the first time, it's important to keep these in mind: Setting Up Your Island and Rerolling for New Villagers
