Title: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: Khushrenada on February 19, 2020, 10:32:55 AM
Might as well get something started on the forums for the coming storm of fruit trading, turnip selling and other island visiting insanity soon to come. Give the people a place to arrange meet-ups with others in this game.



(From BeautifulShy's post later in thread)

Here is a video going over the changes from past games in the series to New Horizons. '


For Bnm and others- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puHcjJyvaqs

Just to go over a little summary of what they talked about here are the details.

Create and destroy terrain to customize how your island looks and the design of it.  This is probably the biggest change as you are not stuck with whatever map that you started with. Let your creativity flow!

Crafting furniture,tools and other things. This is a big change since it allows you to create what you want without having to wait around for the stores to carry it.

  Also with the crafting system you are actually engaged into the game more since in past games I know I did the typical things of the day like checking the beach for shells and fish, getting all the native and foreign fruit, checking the stores for different items that you might want and hope it is there or repurchasing an item from the catalog to fit the theme of whatever new idea you thought of and then talking with the villagers about different tasks they may have and then going to your house and putting it all together and put away things.

Crafting allows for the item you wish to make is pretty instantationus since you likely already have the items you need.

Full HD. That should speak for itself.

Many new buildings that are massive with ways to keep you occupied.

TV play docked and undocked in handheld mode.

Make your town how you like with different construction projects like bridges,ramps, staircases and slopes.

Character customization is more streamlined and robust being able to select from a list of styles for hair, eyes, mouth and many more parts of you body and look.  Also it looks like everything is gender neutral meaning any type of hair style, eye shape and mouth you want can happen no matter your gender. Somewhat similar to Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Nook Mileage Program-  https://www.ign.com/wikis/animal-crossing-new-horizons/Nook_Miles#What_are_Nook_Miles.3F

Designate where your villagers can move into.  No more 4 houses together if you don't want that. You can make that option if you like but you get to decide where everyone lives.

Tool wheel.  Be able to select whatever tool you wish with one handy wheel on screen. 

New storage system that you can enter your house and select what you want to store and you don't need a
Fridge, Amorie,Dressers, Locker,Wardrobe or Cabinet item in the house.

Furniture moves much quicker. No more grabbing an item and moving it square by square.

8 player online multiplayer or 4 player local. Yeah more friends in an online session.  I know many times in City Folk where we had 5 people would wanted to play together but we had to leave that player out and alone till one of the folks in the 4 player group left the town to go to that sole players town. No more of that!! More friends!!!

New safety features for online. No more cutting down that persons trees or digging up the town unless you are a best friend on that players list. No more stalking every one of your guests!

Character designer through the Able Sisters shop.  I will let the video speak for its self aside from saying that you can choose what pigment of skin your character is without having to soak in the sun to get a tan.  Not everyone is caucasian.

Oh also there is pole vaulting as well!

Holy smokes. This thread has 1767 views already and it was just a starter post. People are out there checking this forum and desperate for Animal Crossing info.

We need a corresponding thread in the Funhouse for where Khush and I try to bully recruit others into our time travelling turnip manipulating island mafia.

I was getting worried about whether Joan would be in the game with what they were describing and showing in the direct but I think I saw her at one point. I'm still debating about getting the game and yet I've already been thinking of my first step which would be getting all in on the Stalk Market.

I need to watch the Direct again. It was late and getting close to 1 am in the morning but hadn't watched it yet. Figured I see it the next day but then I thought why not watch it in bed. So, I grabbed my 3DS which is on an endtable by my bed. However, the eShop had not been updated with the Direct and it seems the 3DS isn't getting the latest Directs anymore. Then I remembered that the Switch is portable. Did the rare step of getting it out of its dock and started it up. Went to news and there was nothing. The Direct hadn't been posted there either. Checked for updates and wondered if I needed the Animal Crossing news channel. After messing around with that, I then remembered that YouTube had been launched on Switch and I did have the app. Booted that up and finally got the show running. But 5 minutes in, I kept closing my eyes and drifting off. After 15 minutes, I just stopped the program and went to sleep. It was clearly some really riveting game play being shown and my brain couldn't handle it all at once like that.

My impression of what I watched is that it seems like the game has corrected some of the flaws I noticed in New Leaf (like new villager homes popping up anywhere suddenly instead of letting the player assign their location) but I haven't seen anything that looks like a new activity such as diving and swimming. I suppose there is nothing like one's first Animal Crossing game.

They're gonna sell so many copies of this, aren't they? 10 Million easily, calling it now.

Personally I've never really played any of these, although I did watch someone play the Wii game a few times. This new one looks a lot prettier, and the landscaping seems more advanced, but I agree with Khush it seems very iterative otherwise.
I'm not convinced Animal Crossing appeals to me, but maybe it's worth a shot one day. The setting and vibe seem very chill and pleasing, which is something of a rarity in gaming. What does the multiplayer entail, really, besides Turnip mafia? Is there synchronous online multiplayer, or only local? Maybe I oughta watch the Direct...

Post by: NWR_insanolord on February 22, 2020, 08:57:02 AM
All the games in the series have been iterative. This one actually seems like arguably the biggest step forward we've ever seen, which I suppose makes sense since it's also had the longest time since the previous game.

This was the reason I bought a Switch all along. Nintendo merging their handheld and console departments was a good idea and I think we’re going to see a lot of those flourishes streamlined in this game. I really can’t wait to get it all started. I have a bunch of Amiibo cards that I barely remember buying, glad I can keep using them. I’ll try to buy some of the new ones whenever they’re printed. I had my hopes up high for this one- maybe too high, but after the direct I’m expecting a really robust experience.

This will be my first Animal Crossing game. The closest thing I have played in to AC is Stardew Valley, which I enjoyed. Are these similar? What are the main differences?
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing Switch Thread of Madness
Post by: Stratos on March 02, 2020, 12:56:35 PM
Less emphasis on farming in AC. No combat whatsoever (unless you count being bitten by bugs/spiders/scorpions). Purely platonic relationships.

I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but AC is the Sesame Street to Stardew's Muppet Show. Both are good shows in their own right, and I do not mean to frame AC as 'kiddie', but there is certainly much less depth to AC than there is in Stardew. But it makes up for it in a lot of other areas. You get much more thorough customization in AC.

I spent hundreds of hours in AC: City Folk (and an awful lot in New Leaf as well) with fellow forums here and it was just fun to hang out and do things. Stardew is more of a "life sim" for a farmer/adventurer/country living. AC is kinda like a 6-year-old's idea of a life sim. Imagine Calvin & Hobbes on an infinite summer vacation, but probably with less destruction -though we certainly found ways to be mischievous! Or think of it as your own 100-Acre Wood and you are Christopher Robin with your animal friends.

The town island is your playground and there is plenty to do. And I just got myself even more excited for the game because of those fun analogies. Now I have to make the hardest choice: physical or digital?

I would personally say they're not similar at all. One of the main differences is that Animal Crossing runs in real time as opposed to days being just a few minutes. There's also no story and not much in the way of management aspects, like no farming or anything. It's much more accurately a "life simulator" than Harvest Moon and its derivatives.

That is probably a good thing. There was a week where I was so hooked on Stardew Valley that I played like 8 hours a day because that day loop was so short and kept saying "just one more day". This sounds much more relaxing.

I last played City Folk in the series and lots of fun with the members here.  It can be relaxing but other times different events can bring about some play where you want to get the items from said event and you can play a lot of the game during those events.

Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: TheFleece on March 20, 2020, 10:45:29 AM
I played a little bit right after midnight and have played all morning. The game has a way of giving faster access to tools and items. having two currencies is fun because you’re just constantly getting both as a result of incentivizing every task beyond a Happy Home Academy score. I will say for anyone curious about the speed of things that as it stands now I wasn’t able to upgrade to better quality tools until after a certain point and I’m a day away from have the museum and my house a day away. Usually getting a house upgrade or access to certain tools could take days or weeks depending on ones play style.

It’s gorgeous and the music is cool, I played with headphones and really enjoyed the sound quality. I think the Nook Link mobile app has a cool design, but is ok at best. I’m interested in scanning in some QR codes and I like there is a list of villagers, but there isn’t any details about them beside their name and picture. There’s a space for another app, I’m not sure what it could be for. That’s just from my few hours of playing. Overall I’m enjoying my time with it so far.

Played it for like 3 hours last night and, joy of joys, I woke up and played it more this morning! Waking up to Animal Crossing is the purest joy I've had in a while!

So, only two days in, but I'm enjoying it a bunch so far. I like how there are systems here that really give a lot of structure to the early game, both the Nook Mile rewards for doing different sorts of activities, to choosing which crafting recipes I'm going to pursue, to focusing on levelling up my tools, my house, and also gathering enough donations to earn a museum.

I was actually afraid hearing that a bunch of stuff was locked early on, like not starting out with the pole. But two days in, I realized that these are mostly locked behind progressing on certain things, and while the game doesn't tell you this it means that you can actually unlock stuff faster than before. Previous games we've had to wait for new days to get new tools, but in this game they give you 4 tools almost right off the bat (you just have to craft them), and then I think the shovel is locked behind getting blathers to move in (I can't remember exactly).

So, I feel like I'm SO far into the game right now with just 5 hours over two days compared to previous versions where without time traveling I think I'd need to play a week to get here.

My partner and I both started the game last night. As others mentioned it is very nice looking and sounding. The dialogue is pretty funny too. I was also pleasantly surprised to see there is local multiplayer. I can't wait to get back to the island today.

Fair warning: you get additional bridges through a different means from the first one you craft, so don't waste all of your wood making wooden stakes for bridges.

On a completely unrelated note, if you need wooden stakes i'm pretty sure I have like 10 extra ones.

If you're on my friends list I left my gate open while i'm at work so you should come on over to my island, pick some flowers, buy stuff at Nook's Cranny, explore the land, buy stuff at Nook's Cranny, talk to my villagers, buy stuff at Nook's Cranny, catch some bugs/fish, buy stuff at Nook's Cranny.This totally isn't some scheme to quickly unlock Nook's shop upgrades while I'm at work. What makes you think that?

Caved and downloaded the game digitally. Did the math and between savings from taxes and the gold coins its about the same as buying physical from Walmart for $50 so may as well bite the bullet. I used the gold coins + some of my stash to get Doom 64 alongside it, because it felt fitting to get both. Not tried either because I've been busy with other things, but hope to be on soon.

We got a discord group or something for chatting while playing, since I know this game won't support voice chat, because why would they keep good features found in 3-generation-old versions of the game?

Pro tip, the first player it designated the Island Representative and is the only player that can advance development. So if you have friends and family playing with you, make sure you are the designated Island Rep or be sure to communicate if you need to unlock new features in the game. I almost let my sister fire up the game first since I am busy, but due to her also being busy with her job she hadn't started yet. So I'll be firing up the game first today just to be sure I'm not crippled in my advancement behind family that won't play as often as me.

This also happened to me. It was annoying, but I got the recipe I needed the very next day. This is the only time the game has done something like this to me and I find it weird. I hope it doesn’t happen again

I’ve already seen duplicate items on sale and have been visited by the same special characters in my first week. I feel like that shouldn’t be happening at all, but I do remember this occurring in past games.

More villagers have moved in and I’ve got the full run of the island. I’m still upgrading the shops and will probably pay my second mortgage today. I’m wondering if crafting tools will be a permanent mechanic in the game or if there are unbreakable (golden) tools.

Regarding online: Connecting has been fine, but are we left to make up our own fun? I was hoping that some sort of party island to play multiplayer games like before, but I haven’t seen or heard anything about that.

I'm looking to offload some of my island's native fruit today in preparation for Turnips tomorrow if someone is open to me coming to their town to sell that would be great.

Apples are my native fruit, I have cherries and oranges as well so if you have other fruits I can take home that you can spare I'd leave you any of those.

Also if people are interested I made a bunch of designs in New Leaf that I've turned into QR codes, they are all hockey jerseys and the N64 logo, I guess I can post them here as well.

Question for anyone that would know.... not expecting anyone to have the answer, but worth a shot.

If you read the other thread I made, I had to delete my daughters 1-2yr old profile from my Switch because it was logged in to from the account not made for her on the switch, and there was no way to log her out (after looking in the app, there was a log out button, but since I wasn't the admin of her account... nothing I could do about it)

Anyway, my daughter started the town in Animal Crossing, and created my character for me while I was working (my AC name is Best Daddy if you see pop up in your town :D)
Question is.... I saw someone mention somewhere that only the town admin can advance the town.... what exactly does that mean?

Her account is still accessible from her mom's switch I believe, and therefore if she logs in from there, I think she would pop up on this island as home base. But we won't be sure till she goes back to her momma's house on Monday.
If she is unable to get back to the island from that account.... do I need to erase ALL progress made over the last 3 days and start fresh? because that's a total demotivator. LOL

I triggered the Musuem to get built and am building a house, but what exactly would I be missing out on if I'm not the town admin, and her original account is now defunct?

Finally have hourly music, and am in the process of getting a bunch of stuff in tomorrow from spending Nook Miles. My island haven of Central will be the envy of Filbert the Squirrel--so much so that he won't have any choice but to move in eventually!

So I got ran up on by a tarantula....

I just finished running up to my tent to go drop some stuff off inside....
as I was opening Speedy Tarantula exited warp speed about 3 feet from me an raised up.
Startled the **** out of me, but he was too late, as I was already entering my tent.

He stalked me about 10 minutes later, and before I could maneuver through the molasses like UI to switch to my net.... I got bit.

same thing happens 4 more times, but 2 of those times I was ready wit the net out, but the tree gets in way and I can't see where the dang spider went. Atleast I got to swing my net at him twice. I'm gonna catch that sucka though.

Anyways.... I NEEEEEED a ladder. how do I get one?

it's holding me back from fully exploring my island.
I've already paid off my travel cost and saved the money to payoff my house all today.
I've got a shipment of practically everything I've found so far just waiting for the damn Museum to open so I can donate EVERYTHING on the island I've found so far.

I feel stuck. and after visiting Pokepal's town... I feel waaaay behind (I only really started today), and i'm afraid I might have to start the whole thing over anyway. LOL

Ok, here’s what I heard, but I may not have all the info...

Whoever is the main resident (The player who names the island and chooses the location of the house) on the island they are expected to set into production all the tasks that are given directly given to them by Tom Nook. He doesn’t ask other resident players of this apparently. All DIY Recipes are not given out, only the main resident gets most from Tom Nook, but other residents have to buy them. I also think that using going to the Nook Miles Island to recruit new villagers is also a task that falls onto the main resident. Also, and again, I’m not sure, but I heard that only the main resident can donate items to the museum.

That’s a lot considering that the game issues out progression via Tom Nook who relays that info to the main player. If you are being asked to chose the location of buildings then you will be fine. If not then those messages are for the other resident player. I hope that helps!

Question for anyone that would know.... not expecting anyone to have the answer, but worth a shot.

If you read the other thread I made, I had to delete my daughters 1-2yr old profile from my Switch because it was logged in to from the account not made for her on the switch, and there was no way to log her out (after looking in the app, there was a log out button, but since I wasn't the admin of her account... nothing I could do about it)

Well, I didn't name anything, and hastily deleted the other account... not sure if I can restore it, now that I got. I also donated all the items to the Musuem, and they just started the construction on the museum.

Original Player has a message in her mailbox, but we can't read it.
Gonna see if we can undelete that account since technically it did have all our old games saved to it.... (not that i've checked. LOL)

SO I just visited some random town on another board through a dodo code... "someone is arriving" "someone is leaving" someone is arriving" and the whole game is on pause while that happens....

over and over again.... Why does that need to interfere with what I'm doing? I'm just trying to sell some stuff and check on these turnip prices (which I guess are hot trade commodity at 90 bells a piece...)

This is so annoying. I could be halfway done already if it'd stop pausing me to show me the arrival and departure of people I don't know. LOL

edit:
OMG.... I've literally taken about 30 steps, and it just keeps happening, over and over again. I'm not even sure I can make it back to the airport to just leave. I've been here for literally 5 minutes and this is all I've seen on this island is people come and go from the airport. LOL
what a mess.

edit2:
C'mon Nintendo, we gotta do better than this. OMG, and can't even move, just endless arrivals and departures.
I'm dying over here right now.

Edit 3:
OMG, so I'm selling all my stuff to hopefully ask for turnip prices and a notice scrolls across the screen "PLEASE END THE CONVERSATION"
WTF. it took me almost 10 minutes just to find the nook shop. Now I can't even finish the 30 seconds it takes to complete the transaction because guess.... SOMEONE IS ARRIVING SOMEONE IS DEPARTING

I clearly don't online game often, but is this another case of Nintendo is 2 steps behind here?
or is there a reason I need to see everyone coming and going and it must pause me from doing whatever the hell it was i was doing? and where do I buy turnips?

edit 4:
Luckily I found a DIY for a Ladder and some other DIY stuff and sold all my stuff before the owner of the island logged off. Never found the turnip shop, but it looks like it reset the island and current visitors reset back to the airport. I don't know whats going on but this all seems very unnecessary.

edit 5:
can't even catch a fish real quick. what a hot mess this is rn.
Fish bites, and SOMEONE IS LEAVING... so my fishing pole gets pulled back. we come back and the fish is gone.
I can't deal with this. I'm gonna find these turnips and GTFO this damn island. LMAO

Ha ha, yup, the series has always been like that! It's a real pain. It's even worse now that there can be 8 players in a town.

Anyways.... I NEEEEEED a ladder. how do I get one?
I believe the ladder recipe is given to you once you prepare plots for three more villagers, which takes place after the museum.

Who all was there in the game?
The top two: Left, Bill, right, Unclebob (host)
The bottom row from left to right: Deguello, Thatguy, me, ProDaisy

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on March 29, 2020, 04:24:10 PM
I found the ladder on someone else's island.

I currently do not have access to the main island creator account.... so we may be doing a complete reset of the game soon. We'll see.

and that sucks because I already have and paid off my 1st house loan. Caught a bunch of fish & bugs. collected fruit, and turnips (@$90ea), planed trees ect ect.

and in the interest of getting this museum open and only having limited time/days to play with my daughter.
I have a quick question about time travel.... if I skip forward a day for the museum to be open, can I go back and still have the museum be open?

The someone is arriving/leaving message is annoying, I agree. It's only a huge problem if you're doing the turnip trade game with random people who have great prices, though. It's a mild inconvenience otherwise.

I forgot that turnips are only sold for the first half of Sunday so I missed my first buying window. Anyone time skipping to a Sunday morning anytime soon?

BnM you can get so much done in the first couple days I'd say it is worth resetting. If you have any items that you liked I would recommend storing them in another player's town temporarily (along with all of your bells). Others here could help you get back up to speed. I was warned online so I took the necessary steps, since my wife and sister are much more casual players. I would have been miserable and irritated if they were in charge. And they prefer things this way, as I am much more goal driven to get things unlocked.

I was talking about that with my daughter yesterday.
About seeing if I could store everything we've already collected with someone here and just restart.

Unfortunately, I already paid off my house.... :/ So that would be $98k bells wasted, but that was a days work, so no biggie.

But we have a small stockpile of stuff for the museum once that opens. Fossils, fish, and insects.

I'd appreciate if someone could help out in that way if we don't get this second account island Rep issue worked out.

Post by: pokepal148 on March 30, 2020, 04:09:19 PM
I'd be willing to help but you probably won't be able to transfer bugs and fish between players. I'll have to make a note to hold on to my extra fossils for the next few days to help make up for that.

I forgot that turnips are only sold for the first half of Sunday so I missed my first buying window. Anyone time skipping to a Sunday morning anytime soon?
I'll be skipping bsck probably. I have mt Switch's clock set like 6 hours behind so shops are still open when I get back from work. Since I mostly play than.

I could help out, I mostly visit other people so my town has plenty of space for storing junk. However, note that there isn't a way to give fish nor insects to other players.

It doesn't work that way. You cannot set them down in someone else's town, nor could you pick up ones placed by the host.

ahh ok, I wouldn't know. I visited someone else town, but I didn't try to pick up any fish that were placed.

I just know that if you are "best friends" you can alter the landscape some by digging, so I thought maybe you could pick stuff up.

So I should probably hold all the fish until we figure out if we need to reset. And then sell them in someone elses town for more money, and the have someone hold that money for us so we can atleast get the bells, items, and fossils back?

Hello sir,

I am a wealthy owner of an island out in middle of the sea who is being repressed by draconian Nintendo account and online capabilities. In an attempt to fix my current situation, I reached out to the Local Government officials who told me there was nothing I could do. In the chaos that followed, the Town Representative disappeared without a trace and there is no way for us to find out what happened to her with the limited resources on our tiny island.
We have many fish, fruits, fossils, and species of critters worth untold amounts of Bells that are needed to search for our missing resident and/or move to a new island and start a new life. But to get the full value of our wealth, we will have to sell the product abroad.

If you would allow us to deliver all these riches to your island and sell what we can to your Nook for full value, and then hold our bells, fossils and other items in your storage while we attempt to flee our island, we promise to come back and trade turnips with you at future later date and time.

Thank you


frustrated father trying to save his princesses efforts so far.

update is that it may have to wait till tomorrow morning before we know if we are resetting or not.

She was able to get her account at her mom's house back up and running, but her sister isn't around to share the password for the account as it appears to have changed. So either we log back in and everything is saved, or we can't get back in and the big RESET happens, and we scramble to pawn off everything we have and restart a new knowing we get to at least inherit what we can from the previous version of ourselves :)

I had turnips selling at 465 yesterday. I only found out after 8 pm and was too busy to organize/advertise. I didn't even get to exploit random other people's desires to sell high in exchange for gifts, nuggets, and fees!

How does this whole turnip thing work anyway?

I bought what I could afford at 90 a turnip.
I'm waiting for an opportunity to go somewhere and sell at a much higher price (like 465 and definitely would've jump in at 8pm to do so ;) )

But I'm hearing about tips and now gifts, etc etc
is that like bribing the host to invite you over? tipping them out for helping you make money?

I've never sold a turnip so I don't know the process. It took me a minute to figure out where to buy them the other day, as was evidenced by my stressful first time AC Switch Online experience. LOL
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: that Baby guy on April 01, 2020, 12:51:34 PM
Anyone I know, anyone on NWR, I wouldn't ask for that.

If I were on a larger gaming forum, like reddit or GFAQs, if I'm going to basically suspend my ability to play to let tons of people sell or buy their turnips, I'd want something in return. For me, not much would be necessary. I've seen people ask for a lot, though.

When I say it was at 8, the trick was it was at 8 and I also didn't have time to go and post about it. I actually asked Mop it up if she thought she could, while I pretty much left the game on, and essentially neither of us had it in us to manage it.

My schedule is weird, but essentially half of all days, my fiance is working, and on those days, I've got time for social gaming. The days she's off, I don't get time to socialize without constant interruptions. Yesterday was the latter, and it was a shock I even had the chance to consider it.

Anyway, now that I have 2 million bells from selling my turnips, what do I do?

It is literally the stock market.  Each Sunday I believe you can purchase some.  I don't know if it has changed for New Horizons but Nook can tell you what price the turnips can be purchased for so you need to buy low and sell high.    Really no island should be asking you for gifts for selling your turnips on the island.  Those that do are just asking for extra off the top so to speak.

Think of it as broker's fees. Like I said, I wouldn't do this with NWR, but if I'm offering turnip prices of 465, you're making a roughly 4-5x profit from your investment. It's uncommon enough that it's worth taking advantage of, and it's a chore to invite essentially random people to just come and go non-stop. As such, people who have high turnip values ask for something in return for the inconvenience, since opening up doesn't really provide the host with any benefit.

I've received and completed this task several times. My experience has been that they usually give it to you at the beginning of the day with a multiplier, I haven't ever gotten stuck because I've already assessed the fossils on my island from that day. Definitely not something worth hoarding fossils over.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: Stratos on April 02, 2020, 12:24:17 PM
Yeah, you always find like three fossils each day anyways, so if you really wanted to be sure you could float a couple for assessing.

I agree the miles program is a great feature. It really helps drive my play is some ways. I wish Nintendo would implement a system-wide achievement system, but this one does the job for this game rather well.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: Kairon on April 02, 2020, 03:21:23 PM
Yeah, the Nook Miles REALLY work well for me. They're so naturally integrated into what you want to do in the game anyways, and they feedback into that loop so well with the Flight tickets and being used for some endgame luxury redemptions. The bonuses to do at least the first 5 each day are also really exciting and work well to motivate!

I swear the first couple days of AC I was playing more for the miles than the bells. In fact, that's still how I measure my moment-to-moment progress in the game: "Oh, that's a goal I can accomplish pretty easily, so let me craft some DIY recipes (I can always use more fish bait!) and then see if the next task that takes its place is also easy."

If Nintendo came up with a system wide achievement system, daily activity goals would be a neat addition (in addition to the "earn once" trophies), but what would you redeem it on? Nook Miles are almost a form of currency in AC:NH so their appeal is immediate. I don't think platinum coins are that appealing with how lackluster My Nintendo is these days outside of the beloved Gold Coins... Maybe Nintendo could finally come up with a themes system driven mainly by the play points? (Also maybe bring back a bit of Streetpass Coins where you could use them in-game for certain unlocks or bonuses?)

(i assume these are all pretty common, but if not, they are up for grabs - I need the storage space back)

Also looking to purchase some turnips today, and hopefully sell at a profit tomorrow.

and looking to find more flowers. Just got a DIY that requires a red rose, so need to expand my flower collection.
I currently have: Red Wildflower, White Hyacinths, Yellow Lillies, and Orange Wildflowers.
I'm assuming I need to plant seeds, so who's got seeds for sale?

With fossils if you have a duplicate then you can sell them if no one wants to take them off your hands. 

I know you can purchase flowers from Nook so you don't really need the DIY recipe unless if it uncommon. 

And yes it can be but one can make things how you want with your own creativity.   

I saw a video the other day of someone who made the whole LTTP map in New Horizons.

all the fossils are duplicates. I've donated the first of everything I've found so far to the museum.

do they also take flowers for the botanical side of things?

the DIY I found was a welcome mat, but it has a red rose as a material needed.
I don't have any roses on my island. Also, if I dig up a flower, can I replant it? I tried picking them but that obviously didn't work? I just started lining out my property with a fence and moved some trees and basically killed about 3hrs this morning doing stuff I had no intention of doing when I fired this game up for a quick 20 minute check in.

I just started lining out my property with a fence and moved some trees and basically killed about 3hrs this morning doing stuff I had no intention of doing when I fired this game up for a quick 20 minute check in. LOL



As to flowers and the museum if you go inside. The whole assortment of items will have a section for the particular type of item.  I know fish, fossils and bugs are in there but check and see if there is anything else.

As to flowers yes you can dig up the flowers with a shovel and then plant them later on to a more suitable place.   As to finding different flowers I do know if you fly to a different island it will have different things on it.  It is one of those randomly occuring islands so each time you go on a flight it will be a new island.

Well.... I was trying to shop at someone elses Nook store, but I guess I'll go raid some random islands. LOL

Who has collected all the Bunny items.
Outside of the clothing items for Earth, Leaf, Wood, Sky, and Water (I'm missing Stone)
I have 12 of the 18 DIY items. I hear the 18th don't show till 4/12 when Mr. Bunny Suit comes back

Anybody got all 17 available Bunny Day items?

In an act of Quarantine kindness.... I bought my friends son a digital copy of Animal Crossing for his Switch. +1 to those US totals.

I also added him as a friend to my daughters account, so hopefully they'll be able to play together online. Hopefully he doesn't get turned off by all the April Bunny stuff dominating the game right now.
I've already thrown out all the Eggs in my house... not sure what I'm gonna do for breakfast now, but I just couldn't stand pulling out one more egg from anywhere at this point. If I plan to make that omelette, I'm gonna have to go back to the store and collect 2-3 eggs for this DIY

I’ve got all Bunny Day recipes. I’ve been crafting them for the credit and then selling them off. I can craft anything if you need.

Wait, are you breaking your rocks, or just smacking them? You can get up to 8 items from hitting them with a shovel or axe, just make sure you don't have any fruit power.

I've been doing it all wrong. no wonder I'm always short on iron ore.... I keep breaking them, as any other time I smacked it (once or twice on accident) I never got anything from it.

Yeah, it only works once per day, and you have to keep hitting the rock as quickly as you can to get all 8 items to pop out. It will also not work if you have company over.

I got the construction stuff a few days ago. I didn’t think I was going to use it, but laying down paths and being able to move things around easily- except for flowers and even then I’ve been invested in growing them. I found a secret beach that I had to carve a path to reach and I put my house on top of a remote cliff of the island. Bunny Day was never great, but I feel like this year is the worst because you can’t ignore it. K.K. Slider is finally coming to play weekly and there’s a fishing tourney happening soon. I haven’t been able to spot shooting stars yet and I still don’t have all the fruit. I’ve been playing a ton and it feels like the ground work is set and I’m excited to see how it builds up.

Yep. Back with Animal Crossing: New Leaf, that was the idea behind my Animal Crossing Trading League Thread (https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=42905.0). The idea being that a group of forum users would form a team (a league) and trade items with each other. It definitely was a big help in getting more items for one's catalog to acquire things you might want rather than waiting for them to appear in Nook's shop one day.

just sold all my turnips (450k worth @ 91ea) for 636.
another upgrade paid off, another loan taken out.

But honestly, working from home on certain days makes it easy to keep an eye out for internet deals so that offloading these turnips don't become so stressful.

But Nintendo REALLY needs to address their approach to online multi-player in this game. It is tedious to have to wait for the incoming or outgoing person before anyone can resume doing anything. It would be so much smoother if only the arriving/departing person was inconvenienced with loading screens while they are sync'd with everyone on the island they are arriving to.

Oh my, my daughter met a character named Harvey. He invited her back to his island.
She went, and once in his house, his main living room is a directors chair with Movie set spot-lights on either side, all facing a "casting couch".

I'm looking at this thinking "W.T.F....!?"
seems like a straight creeper house.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EVyEK_GVAAAzfa5?format=jpg&name=large)

room next to it is a kids play room, there was a padded wall basement and a fenced in grass carpet upstairs. LOL

But she can decorate the house with whatever she wants. and invite models....

what is this place....? He just showed up on our island.
I wasn't really paying attention when she met the character, but is this some place she can come back to? LOL
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness

Yeah Harvey’s Island is a house you can set up the rooms for photos. You can invite animals over and dress them up with any item and stuff. Yeah, it’s creepy- I went once and never went back. Mostly because the photo app on the Nook Phone is easier to access among other reasons. Harv’s Island is cursed.



what is this place....? He just showed up on our island.
I wasn't really paying attention when she met the character, but is this some place she can come back to? LOL



I’m down to do exchanges. I wish the guide wasn’t being delayed because I could have a full list to work from. There’s a buy/trade site setup like EBay, but it’s called Nookazon. It’s really a shame Nintendo didn’t put some kind of check list available in the actual phone app. I wonder if they even considered making the Nook Link app reflect the in game phone. I played last week with a friend who suggested we try the voice chat feature and I gotta say that it’s the worst garbage I ever had to listen to. My wireless ear buds kept losing connection and the audio was really choppy. I really want this stuff to be better, but I’m not surprised.

Hmmm I admit that I thought you'd have it by now, but I did some research and it sounds like the ladder is a reward for progressing in Nook's plans to invite people to the island. If you ask Nook what to keep doing that'll probably lead you down the path to unlock the ladder, which be warned will involve a whole bunch of crafting.

Or if you want to post DODO code I or someone else could visit you and bring you the recipe that we've already unlocked!

Yeah, lots of juicy tidbits in the datamining.

There is reference to diving and a new set of sea creatures probably caught by diving.

There is reference to a museum cafe and museum gift shop...I'll just post the list:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/massive_animal_crossing_new_horizons_datamine_reveals_exciting_potential_features
Quote
  • Two extra museum upgrades are mentioned
  • All three house levels (after the tent) appear to contain an art section
  • Two new stand-alone buildings are mentioned: the museum shop, and the museum cafe – the latter of which incorporates a Gyroid section
  • Redd appears to have a ship which will dock on the ‘secret beach’ at the north of the island
  • The ‘fake art’ mechanic will make a return
  • The code that pops up a “select an item” box (to gift a villager, to sell, to swap a fish out for, and so on) has a “cTunekichi” (Redd) option – more evidence that he's perhaps coming back
  • Bushes are mentioned: azalea, hibiscus, holly, hydrangea, camellia, osmanthus (although those might change; the list actually changed between version 1.0.0 and 1.1.4)
  • Vegetables which can be grown are mentioned: tomato, wheat, sugar cane, potato, carrot, pumpkin
  • Update 1.0.0 has a file for a “Seafood” Critterpedia page that’s supposed to contain 33 items – the only one actually in the released game is the manila clam
  • There’s a third Nook’s Cranny upgrade referenced
  • Swimming is mentioned; diving will allow you to obtain fish (a different set from fishing) and seaweed – there’s a portion of the save file reserved to store them already
  • There are unused shopping interfaces in the game: ‘cGardening’, ‘cMuseum’ (possibly the aforementioned museum shop), ‘cRealEstate’, ‘cGallery’
  • There’s a function that stores a ‘play report’ (Nintendo’s aggregate stats on gameplay) with three variants: get_recipe_diy, get_recipe_clothing, get_recipe_cooking – only the DIY one is actually ever used, so the other two might be in the plans
  • Some mentions of stuff here have been removed from 1.1 onwards; the list mentioning ‘FlowerBush’ and vegetable names has been modified to list ‘FlBu, V0, V1, V2, …’ instead, one mention of Redd’s shop has gone from ‘TsunekichiShop’ to ‘TShop’ – ‘TShop’ is in what seems to be a list of doors that buildings can have
  • Since 1.1 they’ve added ‘WOffice’ as well, which isn’t actually used yet
  • There’s a list of types for items where every type is used in the game, except for “Art” and “Dishes"

Question about these updates. Let's say a person buys New Horizons next year. Would that mean that Bunny Day, Nature Day and Wedding Season would just occur again during the dates they were first put in place from their original updates much like regular holidays in past games or are these one time only events? I would think that they would just become part of the game and regularly occur like usual but it has made me wonder if any of this stuff is limited time only.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: Stratos on April 23, 2020, 02:28:31 PM
I wouldn't think any were one-time-only unless specifically stated as such. Though with how flexible they have been at tweaking how the events occur it could be a somewhat different experience in later years.

An example could be the Bunny Day event next year when there is diving. Will you be able to dive for eggs? Will this mean a new type of egg or just more water eggs?

I know eveyone is assuming one year of updates, but I'm kinda hoping this becomes more of a platform/service game with updates for the next 2+ years. It would certainly help provide longevity to the game.

That's what I thought. I know New Leaf had some limited time only furniture to collect from Nintendo Zone (remember that?) but hadn't heard or seen of anything like that so far. Seems to me a person is better off waiting for sometime before getting into New Horizons so that all or most of the updates are added and one can manage time progression of the game how they'd like.

I waited until after Bunny Day to buy the game, just so I could focus on building the island up without the extra distraction.  I think that a solid move to buy some time ahead or after an event.

From my experience with New Leaf, I like to control the time. Sometimes I need to play catch up as days pass by and I don't have much opportunity to check in and sometimes I don't have much that needs doing so I keep skip through a few days to get ahead to a bigger event that might take more time.

Yeah, I remember trying to play New Leaf with you and being surprised at the methodological way you were playing it and how much it clashed with the way I play. For me, it was definitely best to get the game at launch like I did, since I enjoy it best as a multiplayer game. It's good to be in it when the community is most active, which is the launch period, and that's increased even more with the current state of the world. Experiencing everything together as it happens and sharing our discoveries as we find them has been great.

Just dropping by with this video on how you can take your interior design to the next level.

For my second Sunday with the game, I heavily invested into the stalk market.  Much more than I could've last week.  I'm hoping for a big pay day.  I'm still a ways away from being a millionaire, but hopefully I can at least make some headway.

It certainly seems that way considering how heavily they're nerfing every other money making method in this game.

I've also notice far fewer 400-600 range turnip prices so they may have nerfed that as well. Also, more people are crowding the market (and being outrageously greedy with entry fees) so its turned me off of the entire mechanic.

Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on April 28, 2020, 02:15:06 PM
I haven't participatd in the turnip race the last 2 weeks just due to the pure chaos of it all.

1) Long Queues to get on someone's island.
2) Constant load times while people come and go
3) being blocked from coming and/or going because someone is in a conversation
4) Tips/Demands required to participate on some high demand places (although hosting can be a pain, so I totally understand)

but all combines make for a pretty miserable and exhaustive experience.
If Nintendo could at least address #'s 2 & 3 it wouldn't be so bad.

1 & 4 are part of the supply and demand nature of business.
2 & 3 are just bad foresight and planning on Nintendo's part.
The StoneAge approach to online gaming is so unnecessary in the year 2020 when we have so many other examples to draw from. Hopefully something they can fix in the next update. LOL

Got the game delivered today and I played a few hours. I got the inital diy recipes and I found a place for the museum.  Need to finish paying off the 5,000 miles but I will do that later tonight.   It is nice to get back into this series. It is what I need right now. So peaceful and stress free.   I also made a design.  Fun times so far.

Played a bit more for a hour and a half tonight. Finished up the move in cost and I crafted a few different items and started getting wood from the trees by using my axe and chopping the tree three times.  I also saw a video earlier showing a different way of getting all 9 items from rocks without bouncing back.  Basically you stand above the rock and face up and then use the design part of your nook phone and set up 3 maniquins above the rock. Turn back around and start hitting the rock and you are good as gold.   

Question. How many days after donating 5 different creatures to Nook will it take to open the museum?

Once you've set up a place for the museum it takes two days for it to be completed.

As for me, my big project recently has been my soccer field, which took 36 unique texture patterns to get right. Next I want to organize my flowers better, as they're kind of all over the place right now.

That should be an exciting project to look at once you finish.

I am loving New Horizons!  It is such a joy to go back into the Animal Crossing series. Last one was City Folk. Over the past two days I...

Upgraded my tent to a small house, I have set up where the museum is going to be,  Did the May Day maze and got Rover's item, Cleared my island of weeds.  Got a nice selection of fauna donated to the museum for when it opens tomorrow, Set up the place where Nook's Cranny is going to be, I also used the Nook miles ticket to go to a random island and get lots of flora, fauna, and a friendly villager to live on the island. I am also nearing the total of paying of the house so I can expand my house even further.

I found someone on Twitter to help me offload my turnips last night.  This morning, I temporarily achieved millionaire status!  I'm on the fence about trying to do the same thing this week, since it feels like I got out of this week's market by the skin of my teeth.

I've added the second room and depending on my decision tomorrow, I'll be upgrading the house again soon.

Yes, you can still plant money trees. Every day there will be one glowing spot on your island, and if you dig that up you'll get 1,000 bells and can plant a bag of bells that will grow into a money tree. If you plant up to 10,000 you get three bags of that amount, and if you plant more than that you get a chance of getting three of that amount or else you get three of 10,000.

Nintendo seems to enjoy nerfing money making methods so they're fairly distant but Tarantula/Scorpion islands seem to be the second best.

Do the money tress only sprout Money once?

and if so, do they just become hardwood trees after that?
and.... if I bury something else in the glowing hole, do I get something special when I return to dig it up later?

that's good to know.

I just finished fencing off my yard and closing it in with gates. LOL
The other day my daughter had her sister (at her mom's house) come into the game when I wasn't in the room. Her sister went in my yard, where I've collected almost all variety of flowers, and stole my Red, White, Yellow, and Orange Roses (I bred that Orange one myself ;_;) she also stole a bamboo tree and dug up more rose bushes that I had tucked away.
My daughter got mad at her, unbestfriended her and then shut the gate to the airport so she was kicked out.

I came back in the room and she was upset and told me all about it. I told her not to trip, don't say anything about it, and just invite me to your island at your moms house so I can get my stuff back (I only cared about the Orange Rose and the Bamboo Tree <we only have two.....>).

I log on today and I have been removed as a friend to her (her account is logged on this switch as well due to her sisters.... long story, there's a thread on it somewhere) so I add myself back to her account. and send her a message. 10 minutes later, I'm unfriended again and my daughters account is logged off....

Guess I'll just have to keep breeding more roses and hope my last bamboo sprouts more seeds at some point.

But like I was saying, I fenced in my hard, and since I'm right next to the water, I had to make a fenced section across the river as well, just to make sure you can't get in my yard unless you are either a resident or best friend and have the ability to pick up the fencing/gates. All as a precaution to my daughter playing with her sisters again.

Well Daisy Mae is on my island and selling turnips to day for 108 bells.  I have about 10,000 bells on hand so I am thinking of using up 2,000 on them to see if I can sell them somewhere. 

On another note my museum should open up tomorrow and I have Nook's Cranny opening at 8am.

Took a little time today to make some orchards with my oranges(native fruit) and pears(fruit from mom).  I have behind my house about 25 orange trees which are just coming into their own and will grow over the next few days. 

Across the river I have a 5 by 5 area for the rest of the fruit. Oranges,Pears, Apples, Cherries and Peaches.  In need of the latter 3 if folks have some.

I have my gates open via DODO code 6DXS3.

While I have been waiting for folks to arrive I did a few projects. 

First one was set up three Simple DIY workbenches around the island. One on the western part of my island near the dock. Just in case I break any of my fishing rods while fishing.   I have one by Resident Services just by the billboard so I can have one for folks who come and visit me and they need something to craft for Tom Nook.  Last one is on the upper eastern side of the map by the upper levels so that I can go down a level and craft things needed for the upper areas of the map. 

I also am expanding my house. It is going to be nice to have more storage. Right now a good majority of it is with all sorts of fauna for the museum. Speaking of which is is slated to open tomorrow and that is going to be fun to see what has changed since City Folk.   Oh I also built a bridge which should be ready tomorrow to the western area of my island for 3 new houses.   Tomorrow is going to be fun. I can't wait!

I've recently been finding that if I don't have any other goals in the game, I'll generally gather resources and make as many of the hot item as I can.  I used some excess funds to buy a bunch of flowers in case I get inspired to do some more planting.

I’ve been doing a lot of terraforming lately. I managed to get all the house extensions and enough bells to restructure the buildings into more of a neighborhood. I’m trying out a city type design with multiple levels. It’s slow going, but I like what I have built up so far.

I've downshifted into playing the game maybe every other day now. I'm pretty happy with it to be honest, this is a healthy rate of play if I don't want to burn out. I've got some long-term goals I'll probably tinker with, but I'm not big into terraforming so now that I've rolled credits I feel no burning desire to obsess over anything in particular.

One thing I can’t get enough of is fishing so I really like the variety of places you can go fishing. I caught a frog this morning and I’ve been trying to rare fish off my pier, but no luck yet. Also it took a while for shooting stars to occur on my island- it rained a lot in my first weeks, but I’ve managed to catch a few nights with them recently. I made a Golden Slingshot today.

Hello, old friends! How are your islands going? So this new AC game is good.

I’ve been hoarding items for people to catalogue, but it’s time to clean up my island. It’s such a mess and I want to unlock terraforming. I skimmed the thread and saw cataloging mentioned a bit. I’ve got furniture, songs, and clothes.

I’m going to open the gates soon if anyone wants to stop by to catalog. It would be nice to reconnect with all the nice NWR peeps! I’ll wait until the weekend to clean up the place. You don’t have to worry about putting items back down exactly where they were.

I closed out the Nook Miles on furniture collection.

funny enough, since I'm not the main resident on my game, I still need some of those DIY's as well.
and he had so many hybrid flowers... not a lot of all, but lots of some.

I managed to get my Orange Rose back today (apprently my daughter jacked it back from her sister. LOL), and was also rewarded with a Pink Rose growing in my Rose Garden as well, so that was nice surprise today (haven't played in a few days). On top of all this generous cataloging from Dan, it was a very productive day for inventory.

I also have a botanical rug and a white botanical-tile wall.  I think I want a TV for the outer wall of some sort and maybe a furniture piece like a beanbag/cushions in the middle of the room.   

Is the next house expansion for an upstairs?  If so that is going to be my room.

As for my room up top I have a general idea of what I want but it is going to be a surprise.


As to items and such I ran across this website called Nookazon where you can create an account and add items to your wishlist for your island.   Really good for planning themes and seeing what each item looks like.

My bedroom is pretty much done unless something else inspires me.  I think most of these things will be long term projects while I work on my island.  I just started trying my hand at crossbreeding some flowers.  I need to save up to do some more infrastructure work.

Speaking of ideas for my room I think for the right room I am going to have a home gym in there so I need lots of workout items for it. Does anyone have anything like that in their catalog or on hand where I can just get it for my catalog?   

I know I have the kettle bell or something and maybe like a pull up bar thing?
Would you mind bringing those over to my island and letting me catalog them?

Ok, I don't have them currently (guess I gave them to a villager after abandoning my own plans for a home gym). But I can order them and drop them off tomorrow, if that works.

Howdy! I'll be open for a while:

Dodo: 6FCP8

I put some new items by my house, including a wall mounted 50' flat screen tv (red).
Do you need those DIY's you got laying around?
I may pop in tomorrow for the remainder of the clothing I didn't get to.

Those DIY are available to grab, yes. They're mostly Bunny Day recipes, but people can take them if they need them.

Morning everyone.  So on my island I got a few new villagers and I moved around a few trees to get the plots of land ready for them.  The incoming animal is a deer that practices jujitsu which is pretty cool.  I am going to try and make a tarantula/scorpion island later tonight so that should be fun.  I ran across this video for those wanting to make some bells or those just starting off. This would be for the months from November to April.  7pm to 4am.

This video would cover scorpions which would be between the months of May to October at night from 7pm to 4 am.

Nickmitch if you can let me know when you want me to open up my gate to drop off the items some time before 7pm MST I would be up for that.  At that time I am am going to work on making a tarantula/scorpion island using the Nook Miles Ticket.

If you buy turnips you can pay everything off easily, that’s what I did. I just paid my final upgrade off this week. Edit: I keep getting a communication error when I try to mail it out. I’ll try again later tonight.  >:(

Gates are closed now, but if anyone is interested in picking up any of the DIY recipes, let me know. I’m looking for science and sci fi stuff if anyone has anything to sell, trade or catalogue. I still haven’t gotten any pears yet lol

Fleece I recieved the tile flooring. It looks nice in the bathroom. 

Now I get to have fun making a scorpion island and trying to find the right map for it so there is limited to no waterbugs because that is a thing.  I got on the bamboo island and I was chopping trees but my two axes broke and I wasn't finished with the bamboo so I had to reset and get another ticket. I bought lots of axes so this doesn't happen again. Going to be a long night.

And after this post I found Bamboo island and got a nearly full inventory of scorpions.  It was a little nerve wracking running from those scorpions but I played smart and got them with traps and smarts.  I did manage to get stung many times but it was worth it.  Sold the scorpions for 224,000 bells.

Well this morning I woke up to having Mable on my island and she said that she wanted to place her shop on the island so I agreed. Now the last thing is to get a 5 star rating for my island which it is currently 1.  I have to work on some infrastructure and move some shops/houses around to get it how I like them for the final form of the island.  I gotta map things out first with the island because it is going to be time consuming, detailed and have different areas on the island. A forest, heated mountain, icy land, desert plains and a underwater lake.

Is that what happened yesterday.... I was trying to connect to visit Dan's island real quick, to finish cataloging the clothing, but could not connect.... eventually gave up, thought something had to be wrong, but knew it wasn't my internet as we were watching youtube on the TV at the time.

But I also have the turnip lady on my island, selling for 90 bells this morning.
I'm about to stalk up and play the market this week :)

and Mabel finally bringing her shop to the island..... my daughter has to progress the game a little faster. LOL
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 10, 2020, 01:36:27 PM
Looks like my turnip lady is selling turnips for 95 bells this morning. I don't think I am going to purchase turnips this morning and go with a two or three times a week visit to scorpion island and also my orchids are coming along so I can work on that and get bells that way.  If my turnip lady or someone else is selling for 80 bells or less on Sunday morning I would purchase them in that case.

Ah, here I thought it was my internet connecting crapping out. It was getting too frustrating so I just shut down. I’m opening now if you or anyone wants to stop by. My turnip price is only slightly higher at 91. Good prices!

I’m going to have to look into the scorpion island thing

The video BShy posted is really good.  I would just add that because Giant Water Bugs are in season now, you'll have to account for those.  They spawn over the water and don't disappear.  The trick works best on Bamboo islands, but you can still get scorpions/tarantulas to spawn elsewhere.  You just have to catch the Water Bugs as they spawn, since they don't scare.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 10, 2020, 01:59:47 PM
I'm currently stalking up on turnips @ 90 a piece.
I think I'm about to drop $1M on turnips, and not have to worry about bells for a loooong time.

Gonna finish my last room, and then upgrade my daughter's house as well. Then we can go furniture shopping in the new catalog Dan has helped me with.

Does anyone have the iron furniture DIYs?
I may need some stuff made for me if you do 😁
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 10, 2020, 03:36:22 PM
Yeah the scorpion/tarantula island thing basically works better if it is raining, there isn't a 2nd level to go up to and minimal to no rivers.  No rivers in the case of scorpions right now as waterbugs are in season and if a scorpion spawns on a thin strip of land with a river by it well if they agro then they might end up in the river. 

Using this link Stratos posted earlier in the thread... https://wuffs.org/acnh/mysterytour.html   shows that Nook Miles Island #8,13 and 17 are ones that would work using my guidelines.     

On another note I was just pondering is it possible to take the teraforming tools to the Nook Miles Island and teraform the island and flatten everything out and have no rivers?

Jumped on this bandwagon too, liking it so far. My villagers are fun, on my island there's 2 monkeys (Al who looks kinda sickly and Flip who's a jock), a sheep called Frita, the squid Marina who keeps getting sick, and Bianca who wants to be a superstar.
They're all pretty fun, but right now my interactions with them are still fairly limited to chatting, giving/receiving  gifts, and sometimes they lose something or get sick. Hope there's more varied interaction coming. Two of them were singing together once, very cute.

Just put the entire island into massive debt by poor infrastructure planning. I've selected a 228k bridge, so that'll be my project for the month lol.

Haven't found a turnip yet, where do they grow? The raccoontrepreneurs want to buy them, but they don't seem to sell them?
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: NWR_insanolord on May 10, 2020, 06:15:01 PM
Turnips don't grow, there's someone who comes around on Sunday mornings selling them. The price fluctuates and the turnips spoil after a week, so it's all about buying low and selling high.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 10, 2020, 07:25:36 PM
Welcome to the game Steefosaurus.  Yeah turnips don't grow as they are sold by someone who comes in each Sunday morning for a set price. Then on days not Sunday Timmy and Tommy will have a price where they will purchase from you.     

As to the villagers you can write them and send/give them gifts and that items will show up in their house/ wearing the clothes.   

The main thing with this game is just having fun interacting with the enviroment, purchasing things, being creative with the island and your home.  It is very chill.    Here is a general amount of things you can do daily in the game.

Got to a bamboo island last night and caught a few scorpions.  It took so long for them to spawn, and I got stung like 3 times.  But I still pulled in 120K bells, which is nice.  I also took home some of the bamboo trees to grow on my island.  I just need to find a place to put them.  I previously got trigger happy when I first got apples, so I have an excess of apple trees.

I also decided this week would be infrastructure week.  I'm gonna try to focus my daily earnings on building bridges/inclines and saving the rest.  I'd like to move some stuff around, but I wanna plan it out first.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 11, 2020, 11:42:08 AM
Well I set up another plot of land for a villager today and I finished paying off the expansion for my right room and my gym.  So I am down to 35,000 bells but I have my fruit coming in over the next few days.  I also added 4 apple trees to the eastern part of my map and planted more in the west and behind my house so that is good.  The Ables Sisters shop should open tomorrow so I am going to have that on my island which I feel like I am going to spend more bells on outfits but I can also display some of my designed outfits which is nice.   

Not really doing anything with infestructure aside from plots of land for islanders mainly because I want to get all the villagers I can on the island and then organize them according to my final design of the island. 

I also figured out to get the star rod last night so I can have 8 sets of outfits to change into at once which will be enough. I think I have 4 or 5 outfits I like already so that will be nice.

Rest of the day will be for fishing and selling to C.J. and then going to make a scorpion island later tonight.

Sahara is on my island today. I got duplicate items from her: A Floral rush-mat flooring and the Securuity-monitors wall. If anyone is interested in trading something for them let me know. I still have most of the extra DIY recipes if anyone wants one.

Also there are a lot of cool items at the Able Sisters today! Noble Coats, Saftey Vests, Cat caps and noses, Steampunk glasses and Zori sandals. Honestly I think this is the most stuff they’ve had that I actually want.

Lastly if anyone is interested in getting Boots on their island let me know as I’m going to scan some amiibo and to have him moving this week.

I'll open up the gates if anyone is interested.....

I also have half a museum of fossils in my storage if anyone is interested.
willing to trade for any DIY's I don't currently have.... or if you just make me stuff you have DIY's for and I can supply materials if need be.... or you can just have them. I don't really care. LOL

But I may start selling them soon. I have the list in the other AC DIY thread if anyone is interested in them

Well I spend 16k Nook miles on tickets without a suitable island for scorpions but I did find a sister fruit island which had lots of cherries which I have been lagging behind with. So I am going to try and get those buried. I also found a rainy island and I got another Coecacanth.   So this morning after my chores I had 35,000 and at 8:30 my savings now is at 500,000 bells. That was mostly gained fishing and selling to C.P. 


Black N Mild if you want to try your luck with fishing and stockpiling the fish for your own C.P. to arrive to sell to you are welcome to try my island.  I gotta go and plant these cherries.

Do you still need pears? Would you trade a bundle for the Ironwood chair DIY? I don't have too much sci fi stuff. I could trade a High-end stereo? Space helmet? Power helmet? I think you already have the plasma ball?

One last thing about my DIY list: even if you don’t have something to trade I’ll still give them away. It’s really cluttering my space and they’re tough to collect. I’m going to move my list to the trading thread that was posted a few weeks back to continue talk about it there.

Well this morning I set up plots of land were the last of my Islanders so I'm going to have 10 Islanders on my island. Things are coming along well with my island I am kind of thinking about installing a few Bridges from the lower land to the central area and to the upper east area how like a wooden bridge or something I'll figure it out. 

Once everyone moves in the plan is to organize everyone where I want them and start working on the layout of the island.

So I just cashed in on $3.2M Bells worth of turnips, and still have a bathroom full.
Paid off my upstairs for $1.2M and Nook offered me a basement..... for $2.95M

I thought I was gonna be able to chill on this turnip race for a while LOL.
I guess I better hold the remaining bells for a larger payout and then do it all again next week. smh.

p.s. the Art guy is on my island today.

I know for me while I was building the inital set of tents after the inital 3 I couldn't find any villagers on the Nook Miles Islands.  So you might need to progress past that point.

I think you need a plot for sale to have someone appear on a Nook Miles Island.  I hadn't seen one for a while, but when I put some plots for sale someone popped up.

This is probably it then.  Yeah I think I didn't make plots for a few days and that is why I didn't have any villagers on Nook Mile Islands.   Another possiblity is that only one islander at a time can move into the island.   

I checked the latter by going to a Nook Island after accepting a new islander to one of the two plots of land and when I got to the island there was nobody there to invite.  So I am thinking only one islander can move in at a time.

OKAY! Prepping my island to open up.

Turnips are selling for 393, so sell them off if that is a good market for you.

I have fossils out in front of the museum so feel free to grab the ones you're missing, and drop off any of your duplicates you don't want so we can spread them around. Don't take them to sell, if you are that broke for bells I'll send you off with a generous care package.

There are extra DIY recipes in the market, please don't grab all of them so others can enjoy too, and bring any of your extras to share if you want. (The balloon stall has bunny day recipes. Ask and I will give you the eggs to make them if you missed the event)

Market also has a stack of each of the fruits, so take one or two of each you are missing and put the rest back so others can get the ones they are missing. Any fruit on trees may be taken, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MONEY TREES. Those are my sister's.

Anything found in trees may fall under the law of Finder's Keepers. Though letting others catalog would be nice.

Also I filled the open stalls in the market with my extra items, these are free to take, and you are welcome to bring any extra items to leave for others too.

Also, if you have any cool items you would like to let others hold to catalog feel free to bring them by. I have both crowns and the royal robes that all are welcome to hold to catalog so they can order their own. They are all on the table in front of the shop.

Flowers are also free to take. You may pluck any you find. If you want the whole flower plant that is fine so long as you leave me two of any color found in a given cluster.

OPEN NOW

Will be open for an hour or so, hopefully more, but might need a break around 7PM Pacific.

Really cool of you for organizing this Stratos.   

I have some extra DIY and extra dino parts that I am bringing and I am bringing over my red and blue corner which is too big for my gym to work.  Also bringing a squat toilet because well I have an extra.   I also have a few wallpapers/floorings I can part with. Lattice Wall and Brown argyle-tile flooring.   

I am mainly coming over to catalog items and maybe get some more cherries, apples and coconuts.

That was fun last night Stratos. Just catching up and cataloging items. 

In other news a new islander came onto my island and she is a duck name Maelle and she is going to be a great villager.    I have one more spot on my island for villagers.    I also finished up my gym. I have several mats on the floor and the wallpaper is the Stadium wallpaper so it is like they are cheering you on as you work out.  I made good use of the workout items as they are on the mats in their own area. Also have a fruit infusion item to help refresh those that workout.   

As for the island at large and my plans with that each villager is going to be in a certain area of the map according to the climate/ habitat.  I just have to get one more villager for the plot of land but I may need to make a few of the other villagers leave to suit the climate/habitat guidelines I have set for my island. I want at least one islander in each area. We shall see how it goes.

I finally had the big KK Slider concert on my island today, so I unlocked terraforming.  I also went ahead and got all the upgrades for the app, since I had enough miles.  I also took out a river to the north east, which opened a lot of space for me and saved me from having to build a bridge.  I think I'll get into some more today since I was planning to relocate some trees and I can now give myself more space to have them.

I am about a star away from 3 stars on my island.  Gonna go for 3 stars once I get my tenth islander. Time to go to a Nook Isle later today after I finished up the things around the island in search of an islander.

Nice! I honestly went from one to three stars between checking, so I had no idea when I hit it.  I had been trying to breed pink roses for my home garden and, as mentioned, build bridges and things and completely forgot about the rating.  I then built like 3 plots and by the time the last villager moved in, I finally remembered to check and was ready to go.  The plots got me to my eighth villager, so that may be all you need, unless you just want the full 10.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 13, 2020, 08:09:02 PM
I do want the full 10 villagers just so I can have at least two villagers in each region I plan to make.   I did go to a Nook island earlier today to round up my last villager. They weren't ideal to the climate so I may need to let go one or two of my villagers in the coming days.  Isabelle is saying I need the island decorated more and I will likely get to that if I luck out with turnips on Sunday and the coming week.  For now I am just going to try and work on filling up my ABT savings with more bells leading up to Sunday.

I did check my island after 8pm and Celeste was there and I got a DIY for the star rod but I wasn't able to find and shooting stars before dropping off the sleep.   Also today my 10th islander moved in so I am going to make sure I get my fruit trees organized and not pick them so I can harvest them before Sunday morning.   

But yeah Dan if you are up to have visitors cataloging I am up for it.

Just saw a video on how you can get scorpions during the day and it basically entails purchasing a NMT and going to an island after 7pm and either clearing the island of things or not and then putting your switch into sleep mode and waking up in the morning. Taking your switch out of sleep mode and you are still on the NMT island and it is in the morning. See this works because once you go to a NMT island the time is set and doesn't change to real time until you return to the main island.  If you have limited time at night to do things this is a good way of making scorpion/tarantula hunting easier and on your own schedule.

How does one build out the roads and pathways around the island?

I hopped on my daughters account and was able to figure out bridges and ramps.
We can also move housing around, but I have no idea how to build the roads/pathways.

Is it just a texture? or an infrastructure project?
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: Stratos on May 17, 2020, 06:36:51 PM
Once you get KK to visit you unlock terra-forming (sp?) and that is part of the ability. Save your nook miles as you spend them to unlock different road types.

In other news, I learned how to write my own amiibo cards. So I am in the process of bringing over my old favorites. It takes three visits to get an amiibo visitor to stay so it will take some time to bring them all over.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on May 17, 2020, 06:42:34 PM
if I am not the main island resident.... can I unlock the road types? As I have 60k+ in Nook miles saved up already. :)

I managed to move my house to a location across the river and up on the next level grade. I built a stone ramp to get up there, and started working out a fruit grove to line the path to my house.... but I need to also build a bridge, which will have to wait till tomorrow once the incline is complete.

Nook has mentioned KK coming to the island, but I don't remember the specifics of actually getting him to come, and my daughter had no real interest in actually progressing the game if I wasn't right next to her doing it with her, so now I need to just take over and make the upgrades, rearrangements, and anything else that needs to be done, while she is at her momma's house.

I'm gonna relocate all my flowers, and set up a breeding garden to try and get some of the colors that I don't already have. My daughter tried to give me some blue flowers from her island at her mom's house, but someone turned off their switch before I could leave the island (and yes, she gave them to me, I told her I would only take what she was giving and nothing else.) and now that the connection was lost, she no longer has the flowers on her island, and I don't have them in my pocket, so they are just lost to the abyss somewhere.
Oh well. I'm sure I'll cross-breed some eventually.

I've already completed the last upgrade to the house (just need to pay it off.... $2.5M bells :/ ), and gave my daughter enough to do her next upgrade (tossed her $750k bells to pay off the previous upgrade so she could do the next upgrade) . I'm moving out of the "collect a ton of stuff and put it everywhere" phase, and actually trying to setup my house nice. Unfortunately, I can only buy 5 things at a time.... and I need to catalog more stuff, and find more ironwood DIY's/furniture.

p.s. BShy, I like those white couches you had in your main entrance. I might need to catalog those off you next time around :)

Post by: BeautifulShy on May 17, 2020, 07:19:12 PM
BlackNMilk2k1 those couches were one of the first things that got sent to my island from Golden Phoenix.  I wouldn't mind letting you catalog them the next time I open my gates which will be tomorrow or after I sell my turnips.   As to a breeding garden I know the main things you need is to have flowers in like a checkerboard pattern and of the same type of phylum.  I also know it helps if you water your flowers because the next day it gives a better chance to create hybrids if the right flowers are ajacent to each other.

It seems like it is Museum Day stamp rally and it starts today and goes to the 31st of May I believe.  Basically you go around the museum to the fossil,bug, fish displays and find these booths which kinda tell a story and at the end you get 3 different plaques for your home. 

On another not I am looking forward to more cataloging sessions as I need a watery wallpaper set to go with my upstairs room.

I got my first ironwood duplicate for the DIY bench. That and like 20+ more are sitting around waiting for the next swap-meet. Will probably shoot for Tuesday again to host.

I think I am on the cusp of 5-stars for the island rank, because Isabelle changed her wording. She's been harping on me getting scenery while sitting at 4 stars and now she says people love the scenery...BUT I have too much stuff on the ground. Between the fossils, DIYs, spare items, and 1.5 million worth of turnips on the ground I may be my own worst enemy. I can't even begin to clean up until I sell off my turnips.

So I sold off all my turnips, spent 1.5 million buying and got over 8 million back after tipping out, so a pretty good haul.

I am trying to cleanup my island for the 5-star rating and found some datamined details on how to get it.


The game uses two scoring systems for the island. One is called "Life" and the other is "Nature." There's no description as to what these categories entail, but it seems pretty obvious. "Life" probably relates to objects you've purchased or created such as tables, chairs, lighthouses, and other lifestyle furniture. The "Nature" category most likely deals with unique trees on the island, hybrid flowers available, or crafted objects such as log benches and leaf piles that are more rustic in nature.

To achieve a five-star rating, you'll need to earn over 665 "Life Points" and over 450 "Nature Points." We interpret this as meaning you should favor placing manmade objects across the island as opposed to simply planting a gigantic field of flowers. However, chopping down every tree and building a bustling metropolis probably isn't the best technique either, as you'll still need enough space to accrue 450 "Nature Points."

You cannot earn a five-star rating if you have more than 220 trees on your island.
You cannot earn a five-star rating if you have more than 15 loose items on your island.
You cannot earn a five-star rating if you have a "very messy map."

Got some big work stuff I have to knuckled down and do for a good while now, so depending on timing I might hold off on out weekly swap meet until later in the week. Or I might ask everyone to hoard stuff and then Memorial Day weekend we could have a huge combined swap-meet event.

What is everyone's thoughts on that?

I talked to Isabelle who said that I had too many trees on my island.  I had built an orchard of all the different fruit trees so I could harvest them for cash periodically, but I guess I got overzealous with the planting.  This was especially so with the apple trees as those were my "sister fruit".  Anyway, I cut the footprint of the orchard by a lot.  I was previously considering a redo of it, so this gave me an excuse to do both.  I ended up taking out not just a bunch from the orchard but from around the whole island.  I actually spread a bunch out over the island and found out that I had fewer peach trees (my native fruit) than I realized, so I planted a few more.  I think they make sense where they are, but I'm still building out the town.  In any event, there are significantly fewer trees on the island now, and I still have a couple of coconut trees I can take out.  I don't know if I had 220 trees on the island, but it's possible I was close.  I should certainly be below that by the end of tomorrow.  Not that I'm close to a 5-star rating; I'm still at 3.

Question: I have quite a few on my person in the game.  I can bring them to another island and plant them? My girlfriend is playing, and I don't think she has all the fruits yet.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 21, 2020, 09:25:38 AM
There is no harm in bringing a tree along for your next visit and trying it out.  I haven't tried it personally but it might work. In any case you could just bring the fruit she doesn't have and giving them to her.


In other news I got the terraforming tools and it is going to take some effort to get things how I like them and it is a little overwhelming how much I can do.  I'll get it.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 21, 2020, 02:47:44 PM
Well  I have all the areas where everything is going to be and I am in the process of moving animals around where I want them but it takes a day to move so I am expiditing things today and moving all the villagers around in a day. Then I can start doing the design work around the buildings.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: nickmitch on May 21, 2020, 05:44:16 PM
I felt a little overwhelmed when I first got the tools too. It's essentially three functions: water, elevation, and paths; but there's so much you can do across your island that it feels limitless. I think after playing around a bit, it settled for filling in a river (which creates so much space) and going from there. I also like that you can fill in a river with one square in the middle and jump across it. I'm redoing some bridges and it's really helpful. Plus, they look nice.
Title: Re: The Animal Crossing: New Horizons Thread of Madness
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 22, 2020, 01:16:26 AM
Spent a good portion of the day reorganizing my islanders and the shops where I want them. I have them all in the areas I want and I even got a few inclines in the island to go from area to area.  I think I went a bit heavy with the terraforming to have a general idea of how I want things. I still have to redecorate the island with stuff and flowers but it is a nice start. 

On the plus side I am still over 1 million  even after moving the islanders and shops where I want them and I also am going to try and not do any bridges on the island so a vaulting pole may not be required for the island.   

Next on the list is to get two new villagers for the desert area so a bunny and an ostrich are a must for the area.

I am systematically replacing my villagers with my desired ones using custom amiibo. I have brought over HOpper and Ankah already. So if anyone wants my current villagers let me know.

Up for grabs:
Francine the Rabbit
Maple the Bear
Walker the Dog
Ricky the Squirrel

Also sending off Lyman the Koala and Audie the Fox, but I will save them for later because I like them well enough. Phoebe is an OG member of the island and I don't want to send her off, but I might consider it so I can invite her later so she has her nicer house (OG members will not upgrade beyond the basic furnishings).

By the way everyone I am opening the gates and folks can see the general idea of my island. Still need to design some paths for some of the areas but I am placing DIY items around the map while you are here. It is pretty sunny so go for fishing and bug catching. Oh I am also opening it to best friends only for today.

Edit:  Gonna try and open up my island later tonight. Today is Saturday so I have KK Slider on the island.

There is no harm in bringing a tree along for your next visit and trying it out.  I haven't tried it personally but it might work. In any case you could just bring the fruit she doesn't have and giving them to her.

Went last night and was able to plant the trees. Glad to finally get then out of my pockets.

I completed my fossil collection, so I'm gonna be selling off all my extra fossils since no one really wanted any anyway.

Quick question.....
If you need to move your house, but only move it back a few spaces, you can do that, right?
You don't need to move it somewhere else completely and then move it back, right?

I'm trying to plan for future roads and bridges.

No, you have to move it twice. You can't put the kit on top of any existing building.

Will have to shoot for later this week for our meetup, but got the urgent issues worked out at work just in time.

I also never mentioned this, but Boomer was not my favorite, it was Hopper the cranky old Penguin. Hopper was my favorite City Folk villager. Boomer was my New Leaf discount Hopper.

I'll have them both in my town soon enough.

In town and staying:
Sterling
Eugene
Phoebe
Hopper
Ankha

Will be leaving:
Walker
Lyman
Maple
Francine
Audie

Visiting:
Boomer

Next to come:
Knox
Lionel
Goose
Apollo

Though some villagers I bring over might end up being replaced down the road. I thought Sterling would be cool because he was dressed like a knight, but he's just a workout nut, so not nearly as interesting as I thought he would be. Bringing over villagers to your campsite turns out to be a great way to get DIYs so I may just have a slightly larger rotation to keep bringing in for those unlocks.

Does anyone have any sky blue cute items?  I already have the bed, music player, tea table diy table and clock of that color. I have a yellow cute sofa which I am willing to swap out for a sky blue one. I can also order a yellow cute chair to swap out for a sky blue one.


I guess the remaining items are these which I am missing.

Cute Chair
Cute Vanity
Cute Sofa
Cute Wardrobe
Cute Floor Lamp


  If anyone has those in the sky blue variation I would be up for exchanging items or you can tell me what you might need so I can keep an eye out for it.

No, you have to move it twice. You can't put the kit on top of any existing building.

To add on to what Nickmitch said in regards to bridges and inclines you can demolish those by going into infastructure and looking at Bridges and inclines and the option is there to demolish the inclines and bridges if you need a space where one of those things are.

I found a video on kicking out islanders that you don't want on the island or just getting new islanders to fill in a spot for your island animals.  It basically boils down to figuring out a villagers friendship level with you and making it go super low or surprisingly super high.  Then keeping track of thought bubbles and when that activates so you can move them out and doing it the right way.   Kinda vague but the video explains it better.

Most surefire way I have seen is to ignore them, wall them off so they can't leave their house/yard. Then never interact on thought bubbles unless they are one you want to leave. The thought bubbles will pass around from villager to villager so keep ignoring it until it is on one you want to leave and hopefully it aligns with the "urge to leave" indicator in the game.

...or hack/use an amiibo to kick out the ones you want to leave.

I have my two villagers that I don't want fenced in on their own island but somehow one or both of them get out throughout the day and then they call out to me but they are hidden behind trees so I don't know it is them and I talk to them so it restarts things.   It is frustrating.   I have no amiibo whatsoever so I can't go that path.

Looks like the Wedding Event is going to start on June 1st then runs till June 30th.  Looks like you can gets lots of different wedding items for yourself.   It takes place on Harv's island and it is going to be about getting the maximum hearts that you can from the event to get the items.   The more hearts will get you more heart crystals to trade for furniture,wallpaper, flooring and different items.  The max heart crystals daily you can get is 15. lowest is 5.   There is 3 sets the cute, garden and chic set.   To get the max heart crystals you need to use at least 12 items each day.  11 hearts max for the first 7 days. Then it becomes 15 heart crystals max 8 photoshoots and beyond.   7 photo shoots total will give the option to use all the wedding items for the photo shoot.   

This should be fun and it is going to be fun collecting them.  I've read that real life couples have met in Animal Crossing and got married later on in life so it is nice to see that shown as an event in New Horizons.


Video going over the event is here.

I recently made a small cafe area, which came out kinda nice. Also, finally made it to 4 stars.  Isabelle said I'll need more outside furniture, which is fine.  I think I'll turn a space I was using as a garden into a carnival area, but we'll see.  I also paid off the attic and got the basement.  I've decorated it some, but I kinda want more things to put there.

By the way if you are having a hard time getting Nook Miles in a timely manner here is a video I found that goes over an efficent way to do so. Basically you need to have all your tools with you and certain other items to do the Nook Points+   tasks to do them when they come up.  In about a hour you can make 10K Nook Miles and that is a boon for those that may not have much time to play. 

Using the Scorpion island/Sleep Mode trick you can get lots of Nook Miles and Bells pretty quickly when you are able to play.
Video is below.

Flick was on my island yesterday, so I used a NMT to try to get some scorpions.  I lucked up on a bamboo island and was able to fill my inventory to the tune of over 400K bells, which was great.  The garden by my house is almost filled with pink roses, so I can hopefully stop doing that soon and dig up some other rose plants I have lying around.  They're barely worth going out of my way to sell, so I've actually just been throwing flowers away.  I am trying to cross breed some for the other colors, but that's been going pretty slowly.

I found C.J. on my island last night and spent the evening fishing. I managed to pull in a good amount of bells, but I started to remember how low value some of the fish are. Although, having C.J. is a bit better than Flick since I can dispose of cheap fish and still get paid whereas with Flick, I'm not gonna leave a NMT island with mosquitoes. Speaking on new things for the summer, all three fishing netted me a bunch of new fish. I probably would've made more money but I caught three whale sharks and couldn't pass up the chance for a sculpture. I got it today, and it was worth it. Now to find a place to put it…

I got Flick on my island today, which means I may be trying for a scorpion island tonight.  One of the hot items is the hearth, making it worth over 10K, so it's a pretty profitable day for me.

I actually used an NMT to try and get more supplies.  I'll call this mixed luck, as I ended up on a bamboo island.  It's "mixed" because I actually forgot to grab my ladder and vaulting pole, so I didn't need them.  And it also has most of the stuff I need for hearth making: bamboo, iron, clay; only lacking in a good supply of dark wood.  However, this would've been a perfect scorpion island, but it's before 7:30.  I'll wait and wrap up things there later to see if they'll spawn or if I'm locked into the day time.

I actually need some.  I am making an 80s game room in my basement with arcade machines and games like foosball, pool tables and the like.  I have the foosball table and pool table and I need to check if I have any other items in my catalog that I can purchase...

I need the 3 arcade games, Combat, Fighting and Mahjong. Break Tapper, Pinball machine, snack machine, drink machine, tennis table.

  • Swimming
  • Deep sea critters w/ ability to donate to museum
  • Pascal will return and give you mermaid furniture (possibly DIYs)
  • Guliver has a pirate outfit now (hopefully this is a return of the pirate clothes & furniture). No word on how this version of him will appear in relation to the original
  • A second Summer update is coming Early August

Excited for the swimming, deep sea critters and mermaid furniture.

Swimming will be nice to have now that we're away from the shitty way that New Leaf handled beaches. I did not like swimming in that game because of how the beach was so segmented from the rest of the village.

Swimming definitely feels better than it did in New Leaf. I feel like you move a bit faster but overall it just feels more refined. I'm definitely a fan.

I need to test to see if I can put the wetsuit on a wand outfit and go swimming that way.

I was planning on hosting a catalog party Monday but things came up.

Our dishwasher leaked and damaged part of the floor/ceiling of our house. Now there will be workers here all week tearing floor boards out and running machinery, so not sure if I'll be able to host much this week.

@BeautifulShy, apparently the Nookling Brothers picked up on our conversations about cute furniture as they had a number of cute items in stock this weekend in blue. I set them all aside for you. Got a cute floor, cute mini table, and a lamp that isn't part of the cute line, but it is the same shade of blue.

A fun thing did happen this weekend. My Sister who still lives with our parents has her own switch and set up our retired mother on Animal Crossing and she's obsessed! She messages me all the time asking what to do. So we visited my other sister and her kids want to try the game, so I set them up and let them pick out some gifts for their grandma from my vast inventory and they wrapped them and went to visit her island. Was just the cutest thing to see my mother showing my niece and nephew her house.

Sigh I dealt with flooding a few months back and it is not fun.   IRL issues take precident over New Horizons. Hope things work out Stratos.

But yeah thanks for looking out for the items Stratos.  I do know you can send 4 items to someone a day. Two if it is from the catalog and two if it via the airport letters.

Also good to hear New Horizons is catching on with your family.  It is like the perfect game for togetherness and fun in this time.

Thankfully the flooding is minor and insurance will cover it. Just sad to experience something like this a year into home ownership.

Okay, that's how you were sending more than two items to me in a day! I was ordering them from the catalog and then mailing them to you after receiving them.

My biggest complaint so far aside from QOL issues in the lack of an ability to make separate islands for each user. It should be more like Minecraft where you can create new words with any number of other players.

That is good that insurance covers it. 

Yeah I like the option of being able to order things for oneself and just being able to send things out to other people via the catalog.

I don't have multiple people on my island so I can't say I had that problem.  I do know there is a away to have seperate islands if there is multiple Switchs and I think one involves cloud saves.  I have a friend who has an island in the Southern and Northern hemisphere but I am not sure how he did it.

Feel free to come take DIYs or fossils as I have too many.

If you want to go on the catalog journey (pickup and drop) that starts across the bridge to the right behind the Nookling Bros shop.

No gate code, limited to best friends. If you are not, request and I will add you (or expand it to all friends if needed). Don't take flowers without asking please.

My daughter just got back into pretty hardcore, and is Nookazoning, and decided to switch to her primary account (which unfortunately isn't the main game account - long story... somewhere in this thread). Now she's looking to get 4 stars so she can get the construction stuff, and I also got her the Paradise expansion now that she's interested in playing again.

So what we are looking to do is some Turnip sales, and some Touch Trades for furniture we can't find (e.g. Castle stuff).

So who's still Animal Xing?

Everything...? I'm not exactly sure.

I'll have to ask in the morning.


Cute DIY, pink and white
and anything Dreamy

she said she'll look for the rest after school.

I'll hop on this weekend if I can and send them to you. I think we are friends on there.

I checked my mail... didn't see nothing.
Not sure if you logged in to send, but I thought I'd just bump the thread just in case you had forgot :D

Sent the Pink/White bed and Chair. Limit 2 items a day so I ordered the rest I can mail separately when they arrive.
Ordered DIY table, floor lamp, & music player to hit my order limit. I'll check in again and either fast forward or login tomorrow to send more.

Spaced out again. Just not had the time to play. Does she need more of the sets still?

She does. I don't remember which one she said though, I'll ask her when I pick her up from school today.
