This morning I checked my island rating with Isabelle in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) and it came back as 4-stars. She suggested I might want to clear up some of the items on the ground. Oh, I thought! I'm almost at 5 stars!
Spoilers: I was not close to 5 stars.
I am, however, very stubborn.
There are a lot of guides for how to hit 5 stars, and I'm here to tell you that a lot of what they say is not what I did, but it may be easier or faster to follow those instructions anyway. I chose to just follow whatever Isabelle suggested to me and change what I was doing when her suggestion changed.
( Here's what I had when I finally hit 5 stars: )
This took ~5 hours of solid playtime. I went back and forth to Isabelle many, many times.
