How do I unlock terraforming in Animal Crossing?
To unlock terraforming in Animal Crossing, you gotta impress Tom Nook by getting K.K. Slider to perform on your island. First, upgrade Resident Services from a tent to a building. Then, work on raising your island's appeal—decorate, get more villagers, and keep raising that island rating! Once you hit a 3-star rating, K.K. Slider will agree to perform. After his concert, boom, Nook gives you the Island Designer app, and you're all set to start terraforming!

Just get K.K. Slider to your island, easy peasy. After that concert, terraforming's all yours.
I remember the grind to unlock terraforming, it felt like forever! But seriously, getting K.K. Slider to play a concert on your island is key. Spruce up your island, talk to Isabelle for advice on your rating, and when you finally hit that sweet 3-star, you'll unlock terraforming the next day. The satisfaction of shaping your island exactly how you want it? Totally worth it.
