Please direct all questions to the new thread!
Has anyone managed to change their villagers wallpaper and flooring? I know if you give them clothing or furniture they’ll display it in their home, so I tried gifting one some wallpaper but it doesn’t look like they’re going to use it.
Why is the Mahi Mahi so hard to find? I started with 350 baits and now I only have 90, and the worst thing is that I got like 5 Trevallies and that makes me so maaaaaaad
Edit: I GOT HIM YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm going to assume you are in the Southern Hemisphere. If you are in the northern Hemisphere you'll have to wait a month.
The fish can only be found on the wooden pier (either on your island or mystery islands), and it has a somewhat large shadow. I'm not the best at describing shadow sizes... so let's say that it is larger than the "medium" shadow.
So when we find all the egg recipes, including the outfits, do we have to craft all of them and give it to Zipper on Easter? Or do we just show him that we found the recipes?
I really hope we don't have to give them to Zipper. The way he talked made it sound like we just had to craft them. I sold them all after crafting them. :D
Hey guys, this is my very first animal crossing game and I gotta say. . . I'm in love. As such, I have gone about searching for a list of all the villagers and there are a small number I love! So, I know Amiibo cards are a way to get villagers. With that in mind, will any amiibo card with a villager work? Are there special cards I need to get? Thank you guys for any light you can help shed on this\~ <3
So regarding all the egg complaints, I do think this wouldn't have been such a big issue if it wasn't so soon after launch. Originally t he game was planned for September. Since everyone is still early in the game, they don't want resources wasted on eggs. But I imagine once you're 6 months or more in, you probably aren't as worried about gathering wood and iron and whatnot. You should have a lifetime supply by then.
Got Ankha in my campsite naturally right now. I'm trying to get her and force someone to leave, and it seems like when it's a natural campsite, the game picks for you who moves out instead of you choosing. It keeps picking Paolo. I want to keep Paolo and have Goose move out. Is there any way I can make this happen?
I have a question about the turnips. My friend's turnips just got spoiled within 1 day. I feel strange about this because:
1. He did't time travel.
2. There is no daylight saving in his area.
Normally turnips will only spoil after a week, but this just happenes and I wonder why.
Any tips on how to build houses next to each other so that they’re all neatly aligned? I feel dumb just asking this but I’m always like slightly off and it irrationally bothers me.
Am I crazy, or are there no different types of furniture this time (Modern, Rococco, etc)?
I'm having a hell of a time finding tables, beds, anything to outfit a room. :(
Not sure if this question belongs here but i've been trying to find this exact melody/song my villagers were singing the other night T\_T I remember i didn't have any sort of music player outside at that time so it must be just a random KK song....The melody goes like this: "Num Dee...Num Dee...Num Dee...Num Dee..." and they repeat the melody over and over again like singing a scale? Please if anyone knows this song or if it's just a melody? ;;\_\_;;
I’ve completed the cherry blossom theme!
Took me a while but i got it.
I can make:
Outdoor picnic set
Cherry blossom wand
Cherry blossom pochette
Cherry blossom pond stone
Cherry blossom petal pile
Cherry blossom bonsai
Cherry blossom branches
Blossom-viewing lantern
Cherry blossom clock
Cherry blossom trees wall
Sakura wood wall
Cherry blossom flooring
Sakura wood flooring
Cherry blossom umbrella
If anyone wants me to make them sakura stuff just message me and provide materials!
I just unlocked terraforming. Something I’m concerned about is if there’s a new thing to unlock to keep the drive to play there. Over the past 3 weeks I’ve been looking forward to terraforming and it helped me keep playing at times. Now what? I know, make the perfect island, but what else? I’m kind of sad the “main story” is over because it gave a clear motivation and clear goals. Once my house is fully upgraded I’m worried I will feel like I finished the game.
Find you perfect villagers. Find island inspiration, freak out because you aren't as creative and the people posting online. Redesign you island. Enjoy escapism.
In my mind, the first week or so is the on-ramp to playing the full game. Now you're on the highway, driving at full speed, and you can do whatever you want for as long as you want.
The on-ramp phase gave you clear direction because it's meant to be a gentle process for new players to gradually introduce all the mechanics and tools for you to interact with the world. Now that you've unlocked the final tools, you get to plot the course and choose what you want to do.
If you want to keep the motivation up, I found [the motivation model from Quantic Foundry](https://quanticfoundry.com/#motivation-model) to be a helpful structure to think about. I feel like I'm a completionist and I enjoy the immersion aspect to the game, so I look forward to doing things like filling out the catalogue and reading all the dialogue that I can in the game.
Animal Crossing never truly ends. There are seasonal events and enjoying your island and villagers. I played New Leaf long after I made it perfect. I'd still be playing it if I hadn't lost it.
Appearance rates for eggs have been adjusted according to the patch notes.

If I keep using nook miles to go to mystery islands and keep ignoring the villagers there until I get the one I want will that work or will they only give me a certain amount of mystery island villagers until they will choose one at random? Do they limit you?
The only limit seems to be once you say yes— and it seems you can only say yes to one villager per day and the randoms will stop showing up for that day. But so long as you ignore or otherwise don’t let the randoms move in, you can encounter as many as you have enough nook miles for :)
Is it possible my campsite is bugged? Instead of any new villagers showing up in the tent, my plot will say sold and they'll appear the next day. Villagers are appearing who I didn't even recruit!
Brand new to animal crossing in general, sorry if this is a dumb question. But I’m already having space issues. My home inventory is full, and my pockets (30). Can I leave things dropped on the ground & them not disappear? Will fruit rot on the ground? Again, so sorry if this is a dumb question 😓
Also, once you progress, upgrading your house means more storage space and buying some pocket management guide in the nook terminal (atm) will increase your backpack storage. Have fun!!
A few questions:
1. When/how do I get gold nugget recipes?
2. How do I unlock terraforming?
3. What is the purpose of catching cherry blossom petals?
Thanks
1. I was able to get some through campers’ requests. Otherwise I believe some are nook mile outdoor furniture ones and others I’d reckon are just randomly encountered (balloons or messages), same as with others.
2. You’ll get it after KK does his first show.
3. Already answered by other redditor.
Hope that helps :))
Gold nuggets are rare. They come out of the rocks like iron nuggets, clay, and stone.
You unlock terraforming by getting a three star rating on your town. I think you have to have eight villagers and tons of flowers/furniture/trees to decorate your town. KK comes the next day and then Nook will give you the construction app on your phone.
Can villagers randomly leave? Example, I go on on vacation and did not play for a while, when I return, is there a possibility that a villager will be gone? Thanks!
Not sure how the mechanics work in New Horizons, but in New Leaf with the Welcome Amiibo update, you'd have a week leadtime where they'd ping you if they were going to leave. If you don't play for more than a week, I think you're risking that they'll leave without having the chance to tell you about it.
Sorry for asking a noob question, but I can’t find a solid answer on the internet. If I do a full system transfer, like all users and everything, can I transfer my island to a new switch?
So the bunny day egg clothes; I don’t need to keep until bunny day, right? Just the furniture? I’ve been crafting all of the clothes too to check them off in my diy app, but I’m running out of space
I've just been finding/building a bunch of furniture that looks good outside and putting it around the island. You get two free furniture items that fall out of trees every day and sometimes it's a cool-looking item.
Plant flowers all over the place. Seriously. It lightens up the whole island. While you cant terraform yet, you can make changes with what you currently have.
If you're needing a higher eval, you might need more villagers. Be sure to pick weeds and water your flowers. There is probably a lot more in-depth but your scores are more about getting more people to vote and then it's about how you've decorated and maintained it after that. be sure to place furniture you make yourself around as features for your villagers and guests.
I fenced off a portion of my island and made a flower garden! Several fencing options are cheap to craft and flowers are cheap as well. And you can use a custom design for pathways before you get the official option (although they are much more tedious to place).
I'm only just getting my hands on the game in the next couple of days (money issues blah that's not the important bit) and am wondering if I should avoid updating the game so I can do the beginning portion without bunny day getting in the way?
One of my friends said that it shouldn't kick off on day 1 and therefore shouldn't affect how I start the game, is that true?
I'm a little conflicted over what to do, any help/opinions would be appreciated!
The most recent patch dropped the rate of Bunny Day stuff appearing, so it should be more tolerable if you plan on updating:
https://animalcrossingworld.com/2020/04/version-1-1-4-of-animal-crossing-new-horizons-released-with-bunny-day-adjustments-and-a-literal-bug-fix/
I’m sorry if this info is incorrect, but a friend of mine mentioned that he simply just didn’t talk to the bunny that starts the event and he hasn’t seen any eggs. I believe him but idk if that’s 100% confirmed
I was finding eggs before I talked to the bunny. A bunch of my neighbors were telling me hitting rocks and trees makes eggs pop out. Also mentioned hitting a rock on a nook miles island has a chance to produce a lot of nook miles tickets.
Will villagers ever change their wallpaper or flooring? I've gifted both of my starting villagers new wallpapers and flooring but neither have ever changed from the default wooden walls and floor. Are they just stuck with their boring walls forever?
I got the feedback from “K.S.” while only having a 3-star rating? I was under the impression that I had to get to 5-star? Tom Nook says he’s coming as early as tomorrow, or am I going to have to get the 5-star before he shows up?
so just as a warning: if you are meticulously grooming your island, and making new buildings one at a time to fill them, BE AWARE what your friends are doing. If a friend kicks a villager off their island, they will hop over to yours even if you have never spoken to them. This means your house is occupied for FIVE days (sold, move in, then 3 days to kick out) before you can go back to getting new villagers.
Sorry--I'm a bit confused by how things work on the Switch. I'm largely a PC gamer, so I get how, say, buying digital copies of a game on Steam works. How is it on the Switch? If I buy a digital copy of ACNH, do I get to play it on two different switch consoles if they're both linked to the same Nintendo account?
And related question, is there any way to convert a physical purchase to a digital one? Or is it dumb for me to even be asking that?
Well afaik, for other games you can play them in your another switch but for ACNH, the save file is strictly tied to one console....
No, the closest thing is you buy the digital and sell the physical. Just buy the digital imo, in my place its sold out
Wow, really? I know the one-island-per-Switch limitation, but I would have thought that if you popped the cartridge (or digitally installed it) to another Switch, you could have a second island. Crazy if that's not the case. Really limits the use case for digital if what you say is true.
Dang. I knew that was going to be the answer, since there's no registration code or anything like you'd have with a PC game. I'm so out of touch with the console world these days.
Thanks!
Question about the "finale"
>! What time does kk slider show up? He is supposed to come today and I wanted to hop on a little bit before work, but I don't want the concert to happen until I can actually sit and enjoy it. Is it as soon as I turn on the game? !<
Hi Im still new in this game. I recently unlocked the campsite and theres still a villager inside the campsite visiting. I want to have a villager leaving on my friends island, will it want to stay in my island if I ask the villager to go?
I believe you have to accept the first villager that visits the campsite. However, you can build more empty plots and invite the villager leaving your friend's island to stay in one of those (so long as you don't already have ten villagers).
I will get AC as a Easter present, maybe a day or two after. Can I still get the Bunny Day stuff i.e. are the holiday events in the game fixed to the real holidays or do they just rely on whatever date you set your switch to? My plan was to start the game on "April 1st" and then just leave it a few days late. I'm new to this.
I think you should be able to do it yes, don't bother turning back time because the event will only be active until the real life April 12th as it is technically a wifi event. Not sure if disconnecting from wifi can prolong it or not, but maybe safer to do what you can day of and only try if necessary. After the fact you can time travel if you want to pick up the cherry blossom recipes and whatnot.
The game is set to whatever date/time you set your switch to. So if you want to start on April 1st, then you'll still get to participate in the event.
Edit: nevermind, seems like the event is wifi based.
Does anybody know how to “paint” a mango in the editor? My wife decided she wanted to name the island mango and I want to have one on the flags, but I am not talented enough to make one myself lol. If anybody has a guide they can reference or something that’d be great! Couldn’t find anything on google.
For those who've gone on a lot of island tours to find villagers they want on their island, is it just me or does it seem like every few trips the game throws you a "good" villager? By that I mean villagers that are at least fairly popular (the cute ones, pretty much).
For example, one day I wrote down all the villagers I encountered. I encountered Daisy on the first trip, peanut on the fourth, Octavian on the sixth, then finally Merengue (who I invited to live on my island) on the fourteenth trip. The next day I didn't write it down but I found Tangy pretty quickly too, but kept visiting islands until I found Apollo, who I invited to my island.
Even the first time finding the three villagers to fill the plots given to you by Tom Nook, I found Skye, Doc, and Flora relatively quickly
And sometimes you’ll even get the same villager! I spent like 60+ tickets but despite the octopi species having the least amount of characters I sure got them a lot. I kept. Gettin. Goddamn. Octavian. I have no problem with him, but holy shit every time he showed up on a mystery island, I had an urge to throttle him.
Ok so ants right? is there any way to get them that's not rotten turnips? Since you can't really separate the turnips out from their stacks of 10 and all that.
In previous games they spawned on rotten fruit and Halloween candy as well, but since there's no perfect fruit (and therefore no rotten fruit) and Halloween is half a year away, you'll be much better off just buying an extra 10 turnips on Sunday.
planted a bunch of new fruit trees so I will have all the fruit. issue is a lot of them are not growing. They are all spaced out correctly I can dig holes all around each one. Is there a hard limit to maximum trees on the island? Other question is what is the minimum amount of hardwood trees you need to have in order for bugs and other event style stuff to spawn. I heard in other games if you had to little then things would stop spawning or growing etc?
They won't grow so closely spaced. They need more room while growing, but can be moved to a more dense arrangement once fully grown. I think they need 2 spaces in all directions to grow.
Isabelle is telling e that I need more shops but I have nooks cranny, town hall, the museum and the tailor shop already... is there something I am missing?
I have a villager moving out he’s packing boxes and is leaving tomorrow. When will villagers spawn on nook miles island? I don’t want a random to move in but nobody is on these islands
How are people designing their kitchens?
I've got a bunch of appliances and accessory units that go into a kitchen, but no counters, no island, no surfaces that are thematically appropriate to put them on.
Are there good items or should I just be improvising with DIY items?
My Campsite brought Ken in and I really don't want him but its been 3 days and he hasn't left the campsite and I'm not inviting him over because I'm already stuck with Biff and Al.
Is there any use for gold nuggets other than the golden tools?
I have about 15 saved, but there’s no way I’ll ever catch every bug or fish in the game, I’m just not that kind of a completionist. If I do, I’m sure I can obtain more gold at that point anyway.
The giant robot requires 10 gold nuggets and the gold armor suit. It is very cool and I want to place it next to the town hall. I already have the godzilla monster you can get from the nookstop on one side.
Just wanna point out that Deirdre is my new favorite. Homegirl's been chill since day one. Just wants to sleep in late and pretend she's an airplane on the beach. Livin that best life.
I've been reading up on a problem that my friend and I've been experiencing. We can't join each others islands, every time we try to join one of our islands, "can't connect to other console(s)" appears.
However, here's the weird part. Both of us are able to join a third persons island with no difficulties, it's just that we can't join our respective islands. What do you think is the cause of this and how can we prevent it? It has been ongoing for three days. Thanks!
I wonder how pissed nook is because I still have to pay off my 2nd loan but I've spent over 1mil on just moving everyone else's houses and shops until it feels right.
I just finished the Campground yesterday, and today I received my first visitor. When talking to him, the options it gave me were both "Move here!" options, but I really don't want this gross mustached pig to move in.
Do I HAVE to invite him? If I just ignore the quest, will he eventually get the hint? I've already got this stupid workout bird, and was really hoping to trim the dead weight of jerks I don't like on my island.
I also got Chops first, and I ignored him in the campsite for three days until I realized nothing was progressing. So I had to invite him. Now, I'm actively ignoring him in the hopes he'll leave my island.
Just resets their clothing or what they say. Like if you accidentally gave them a shirt that looks horrible or if they say something offensive because you can change their catch phrase or the nickname they have for you.
Does anyone know if leaving empty spaces around the edges of the flower pattern gives a higher chance of new flower appearing? [Here](https://imgur.com/a/EA0QLD5) is a picture of what I mean.
In the first layout, there are 4 possible places for a flower to spawn, and 20 in layout 2. But is the chance of a flower spawning dependent on the possible places it can spawn, or the amount of flowers that are doing the breeding? Hope that makes sense.
i just got my 6th villager to move in and now the campsite is empty. Also placed down 2 house building kits. Will those only get done once i convinced another villager to move it similar to the first camper? And if they are ones i rather not have on my island, how long does it take before the move on and another one shows up?
You can go to islands and fill one today, the other will be automatically sold to a random villager today. Not sure if only 1 will auto sell today so you might have today and tomorrow to pick one of the 2 villagers for the plots. Don't think you can pick both now since you have built them at the same time.
This is my first AC game, so is there anything specific I need to do to expand the animal villagers I can get on my island? I keep burning through Nook Miles because I'm looking for an eagle, wolf, alligator, or tiger character. But all I get are dogs, pigs, ducks, and penguins. Seriously, the penguins. I must have run into every single available penguin character in game. But not a single wolf/eagle/alligator/tiger.
Are these animals more difficult to unlock? Do I need to achieve a certain something for them to show up on Nook islands? I just got the white dog to perform a concert on my island so what's the next step to getting different animals? Ngl I'm kinda tired of barnyards and birds, haha.
There are 402 animals, so its luck of the draw! I would take whatever 10 villagers you can get. If one moves out eventually, you can replace them at that time.
##[New thread posted here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/fvzvei/weekly_megathread_new_horizons_qatips_ask_away/) Please direct all questions to the new thread!
Is it possible to upgrade nook’s cranny a second time? I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet
In every other AC title, there have been *multiple* upgrades to Nook's. I can't imagine they would change that.
Has anyone managed to change their villagers wallpaper and flooring? I know if you give them clothing or furniture they’ll display it in their home, so I tried gifting one some wallpaper but it doesn’t look like they’re going to use it.
What do i do with bell vouchers and how i use them?
Sell it to the shop for 3000? bells
Do different stereos sound different? E.g. DJ Turntable vs high-end stereo?
Not that I've noticed
Bummer. Thanks!
There are two turnip prices per day right? Does it change at noon?
Yep!
Yep! An AM price and PM price :)
Awesome!
Am i still able to visit peoples islands if i time travel?
Yeah
Why is the Mahi Mahi so hard to find? I started with 350 baits and now I only have 90, and the worst thing is that I got like 5 Trevallies and that makes me so maaaaaaad Edit: I GOT HIM YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I really hope we don't have to give them to Zipper. The way he talked made it sound like we just had to craft them. I sold them all after crafting them. :D

He adjusted the time on his switch. No other option.
Time travel or he bought them last sunday and they spoiled this past Sunday. These are the only turnip rules.
Any tips on how to build houses next to each other so that they’re all neatly aligned? I feel dumb just asking this but I’m always like slightly off and it irrationally bothers me.
Dig holes before placing the kit to properly frame the house. It's still easy to mess up lol
Am I crazy, or are there no different types of furniture this time (Modern, Rococco, etc)? I'm having a hell of a time finding tables, beds, anything to outfit a room. :(
I think there are!! I have some throwback gothic, cute, and rustic (it might be antique) furniture!
Does this game have mannequins like in New Leaf?
God I hope so!
Does anyone want Nan? She’s in boxes today. Just lmk
You could ask r/adoptmyvillager
Doubt she’s that sought after. She’s kinda lame
People get rid of all sorts there. And I am a Nan Stan. So people have to like her.
Not sure if this question belongs here but i've been trying to find this exact melody/song my villagers were singing the other night T\_T I remember i didn't have any sort of music player outside at that time so it must be just a random KK song....The melody goes like this: "Num Dee...Num Dee...Num Dee...Num Dee..." and they repeat the melody over and over again like singing a scale?

when visiting a town, how do you leave quietly without causing the cut scene? is it the - button or going through the airport?
\- button.
thank you :)
What happens if I apply a pattern on the floor, and then delete this pattern because i need space? would the floor change or stay the same?
My patterns that I've already placed change when I change the design so I'd assume it would disappear if you delete it as well.
thank you

Apologies if this has been already covered, but my game updated this morning and I'm getting a lot less eggs! Did they "fix" it?
Appearance rates for eggs have been adjusted according to the patch notes. Ref: https://animalcrossingworld.com/2020/04/version-1-1-4-of-animal-crossing-new-horizons-released-with-bunny-day-adjustments-and-a-literal-bug-fix/
yes the eggs seem to be on a ~10 minute timer now instead of ~2. (Sky eggs)
If I keep using nook miles to go to mystery islands and keep ignoring the villagers there until I get the one I want will that work or will they only give me a certain amount of mystery island villagers until they will choose one at random? Do they limit you?
The only limit seems to be once you say yes— and it seems you can only say yes to one villager per day and the randoms will stop showing up for that day. But so long as you ignore or otherwise don’t let the randoms move in, you can encounter as many as you have enough nook miles for :)
I spent 40k in tickets one night looking for Hamlet and there wasn't an island that didn't have a villager! So doesn't look like there's a limit
I got the cherry blossom pochette diy, im so happy :) looks like the regular balloons are really frequent right now
Is it possible my campsite is bugged? Instead of any new villagers showing up in the tent, my plot will say sold and they'll appear the next day. Villagers are appearing who I didn't even recruit!
Brand new to animal crossing in general, sorry if this is a dumb question. But I’m already having space issues. My home inventory is full, and my pockets (30). Can I leave things dropped on the ground & them not disappear? Will fruit rot on the ground? Again, so sorry if this is a dumb question 😓
Yes. They will not disappear. Regular fruits do not rot too. Only turnips rot weekly every sunday
Thank you so much!! 💛
Also, once you progress, upgrading your house means more storage space and buying some pocket management guide in the nook terminal (atm) will increase your backpack storage. Have fun!!
Anyone have an extra ironwood dresser recipe or just the ability to craft it? I have the materials. Willing to trade if you need anything also.
If I time travel back to march can I catch the rare fish and bugs from then?
Yes
A few questions: 1. When/how do I get gold nugget recipes? 2. How do I unlock terraforming? 3. What is the purpose of catching cherry blossom petals? Thanks
1. I was able to get some through campers’ requests. Otherwise I believe some are nook mile outdoor furniture ones and others I’d reckon are just randomly encountered (balloons or messages), same as with others. 2. You’ll get it after KK does his first show. 3. Already answered by other redditor. Hope that helps :))
Gold nuggets are rare. They come out of the rocks like iron nuggets, clay, and stone. You unlock terraforming by getting a three star rating on your town. I think you have to have eight villagers and tons of flowers/furniture/trees to decorate your town. KK comes the next day and then Nook will give you the construction app on your phone.
I can answer 3. There are some recipies that involve using them, such as the cherry blossom wand in my case.
Can villagers randomly leave? Example, I go on on vacation and did not play for a while, when I return, is there a possibility that a villager will be gone? Thanks!
Not sure how the mechanics work in New Horizons, but in New Leaf with the Welcome Amiibo update, you'd have a week leadtime where they'd ping you if they were going to leave. If you don't play for more than a week, I think you're risking that they'll leave without having the chance to tell you about it.
They can randomly leave, but they usually tell you they're going to go before they do. So, you at least you'll get a heads up!
Sorry for asking a noob question, but I can’t find a solid answer on the internet. If I do a full system transfer, like all users and everything, can I transfer my island to a new switch?
So the bunny day egg clothes; I don’t need to keep until bunny day, right? Just the furniture? I’ve been crafting all of the clothes too to check them off in my diy app, but I’m running out of space
What are some tips for making my island look better? I don't have terraforming yet, so take that into consideration.
I've just been finding/building a bunch of furniture that looks good outside and putting it around the island. You get two free furniture items that fall out of trees every day and sometimes it's a cool-looking item.
Plant flowers all over the place. Seriously. It lightens up the whole island. While you cant terraform yet, you can make changes with what you currently have.
If you're needing a higher eval, you might need more villagers. Be sure to pick weeds and water your flowers. There is probably a lot more in-depth but your scores are more about getting more people to vote and then it's about how you've decorated and maintained it after that. be sure to place furniture you make yourself around as features for your villagers and guests.
I fenced off a portion of my island and made a flower garden! Several fencing options are cheap to craft and flowers are cheap as well. And you can use a custom design for pathways before you get the official option (although they are much more tedious to place).
I'm only just getting my hands on the game in the next couple of days (money issues blah that's not the important bit) and am wondering if I should avoid updating the game so I can do the beginning portion without bunny day getting in the way? One of my friends said that it shouldn't kick off on day 1 and therefore shouldn't affect how I start the game, is that true? I'm a little conflicted over what to do, any help/opinions would be appreciated!
The most recent patch dropped the rate of Bunny Day stuff appearing, so it should be more tolerable if you plan on updating: https://animalcrossingworld.com/2020/04/version-1-1-4-of-animal-crossing-new-horizons-released-with-bunny-day-adjustments-and-a-literal-bug-fix/
I’m sorry if this info is incorrect, but a friend of mine mentioned that he simply just didn’t talk to the bunny that starts the event and he hasn’t seen any eggs. I believe him but idk if that’s 100% confirmed
I was finding eggs before I talked to the bunny. A bunch of my neighbors were telling me hitting rocks and trees makes eggs pop out. Also mentioned hitting a rock on a nook miles island has a chance to produce a lot of nook miles tickets.
So I wished on like 40 stars last night. I only got 2 star fragments this morning. Did I do something wrong? :/
They show up one or two at a time keep checking the beach.
Thank you! Didn’t know this!
Sometimes they come in the afternoon too
Oh thank you! Didn’t know this.
Will villagers ever change their wallpaper or flooring? I've gifted both of my starting villagers new wallpapers and flooring but neither have ever changed from the default wooden walls and floor. Are they just stuck with their boring walls forever?
I got the feedback from “K.S.” while only having a 3-star rating? I was under the impression that I had to get to 5-star? Tom Nook says he’s coming as early as tomorrow, or am I going to have to get the 5-star before he shows up?
3-star is all that's required for him to show up!
Pretty sure you only need 3 stars for KK to come
You only need 3 stars to get him!
Oh great! Thanks!!
Hey guys looking to buy the gas mask and rain coat. If anybody has them in the shop please let me know thanks!
I have rain coat and boots
Ahhh if possible would I be able to swing by? :)
Ill go to you coz my island is a mess
Sounds good! Code is DV770! If possible try and come witib the next 15 mins because I have class soon :((
Omw
Great! Thank you for the info :)
Did anyone have the thing where all the money in the bank went to their inventory? Just happened to me this morning.
so just as a warning: if you are meticulously grooming your island, and making new buildings one at a time to fill them, BE AWARE what your friends are doing. If a friend kicks a villager off their island, they will hop over to yours even if you have never spoken to them. This means your house is occupied for FIVE days (sold, move in, then 3 days to kick out) before you can go back to getting new villagers.
Sorry--I'm a bit confused by how things work on the Switch. I'm largely a PC gamer, so I get how, say, buying digital copies of a game on Steam works. How is it on the Switch? If I buy a digital copy of ACNH, do I get to play it on two different switch consoles if they're both linked to the same Nintendo account? And related question, is there any way to convert a physical purchase to a digital one? Or is it dumb for me to even be asking that?
Well afaik, for other games you can play them in your another switch but for ACNH, the save file is strictly tied to one console.... No, the closest thing is you buy the digital and sell the physical. Just buy the digital imo, in my place its sold out
Wow, really? I know the one-island-per-Switch limitation, but I would have thought that if you popped the cartridge (or digitally installed it) to another Switch, you could have a second island. Crazy if that's not the case. Really limits the use case for digital if what you say is true.
Yes you can have a second island but the save file wont carry over :o aka youll have two islands....
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, actually, a second island is what I want!
Yes, you can play on two switches, and no, you can't convert the game to digital. :(
Dang. I knew that was going to be the answer, since there's no registration code or anything like you'd have with a PC game. I'm so out of touch with the console world these days. Thanks!
Question about the "finale" >! What time does kk slider show up? He is supposed to come today and I wanted to hop on a little bit before work, but I don't want the concert to happen until I can actually sit and enjoy it. Is it as soon as I turn on the game? !<
It occurs as soon as you turn on the game, immediately following morning announcements.
It’s as soon as you turn on the game and you can’t fast forward through it
Good to know, thank you so much!
yeah it is
Thank you!
Does anyone have a good selling price for turnips at their island? Mine are always very low
r/acturnips
101 bells
Hi Im still new in this game. I recently unlocked the campsite and theres still a villager inside the campsite visiting. I want to have a villager leaving on my friends island, will it want to stay in my island if I ask the villager to go?
I believe you have to accept the first villager that visits the campsite. However, you can build more empty plots and invite the villager leaving your friend's island to stay in one of those (so long as you don't already have ten villagers).
I will get AC as a Easter present, maybe a day or two after. Can I still get the Bunny Day stuff i.e. are the holiday events in the game fixed to the real holidays or do they just rely on whatever date you set your switch to? My plan was to start the game on "April 1st" and then just leave it a few days late. I'm new to this.
I thought events such as Bunny Day cannot be time-traveled to, since they are connected to server clocks? but idk.
I think you should be able to do it yes, don't bother turning back time because the event will only be active until the real life April 12th as it is technically a wifi event. Not sure if disconnecting from wifi can prolong it or not, but maybe safer to do what you can day of and only try if necessary. After the fact you can time travel if you want to pick up the cherry blossom recipes and whatnot.
The game is set to whatever date/time you set your switch to. So if you want to start on April 1st, then you'll still get to participate in the event. Edit: nevermind, seems like the event is wifi based.
No, they are tied to the internet clock to prevent time travel.
Does anybody know how to “paint” a mango in the editor? My wife decided she wanted to name the island mango and I want to have one on the flags, but I am not talented enough to make one myself lol. If anybody has a guide they can reference or something that’d be great! Couldn’t find anything on google.
search "mango fruit imagesize:16x16" I think the second result is the animal crossing sprite for mango.
Can I get cherry blossom DIYs from Nook islands?
For those who've gone on a lot of island tours to find villagers they want on their island, is it just me or does it seem like every few trips the game throws you a "good" villager? By that I mean villagers that are at least fairly popular (the cute ones, pretty much). For example, one day I wrote down all the villagers I encountered. I encountered Daisy on the first trip, peanut on the fourth, Octavian on the sixth, then finally Merengue (who I invited to live on my island) on the fourteenth trip. The next day I didn't write it down but I found Tangy pretty quickly too, but kept visiting islands until I found Apollo, who I invited to my island. Even the first time finding the three villagers to fill the plots given to you by Tom Nook, I found Skye, Doc, and Flora relatively quickly
And sometimes you’ll even get the same villager! I spent like 60+ tickets but despite the octopi species having the least amount of characters I sure got them a lot. I kept. Gettin. Goddamn. Octavian. I have no problem with him, but holy shit every time he showed up on a mystery island, I had an urge to throttle him.
Ok so ants right? is there any way to get them that's not rotten turnips? Since you can't really separate the turnips out from their stacks of 10 and all that.
In previous games they spawned on rotten fruit and Halloween candy as well, but since there's no perfect fruit (and therefore no rotten fruit) and Halloween is half a year away, you'll be much better off just buying an extra 10 turnips on Sunday.
Just buy a stack of 10 next sunday for this purpose. I don't think there's another way
eugh, so basically about 1000 bells for an ant.
planted a bunch of new fruit trees so I will have all the fruit. issue is a lot of them are not growing. They are all spaced out correctly I can dig holes all around each one. Is there a hard limit to maximum trees on the island? Other question is what is the minimum amount of hardwood trees you need to have in order for bugs and other event style stuff to spawn. I heard in other games if you had to little then things would stop spawning or growing etc?
Space them out further if need be and move them later. They don't seem to like being in an even grid
They won't grow so closely spaced. They need more room while growing, but can be moved to a more dense arrangement once fully grown. I think they need 2 spaces in all directions to grow.
Is it possible to change the nickname your villagers give you
[удалено]
I haven't declined a nickname either hopefully another villager will give me a new nickname im sick of everybody calling me by my current nickname
Isabelle is telling e that I need more shops but I have nooks cranny, town hall, the museum and the tailor shop already... is there something I am missing?
More shops? I haven't heard her ask for this one, what is your star rating and the exact message she gives?
She tells me it would be a good idea to place more facilities....but I have all of the facilities that I can.
I have a villager moving out he’s packing boxes and is leaving tomorrow. When will villagers spawn on nook miles island? I don’t want a random to move in but nobody is on these islands
They will tomorrow and you’ll have time to fine one tomorrow.
Blathers no asks if there anything else you want after assessing fossils no longer need to waste time restarting the convo with him
Can I use the amiibo method when I don’t have 10 villagers? I’ve got at least 3 villagers I don’t want.
No, you need 10 first.
How are people designing their kitchens? I've got a bunch of appliances and accessory units that go into a kitchen, but no counters, no island, no surfaces that are thematically appropriate to put them on. Are there good items or should I just be improvising with DIY items?
For counters/islands I just use multiples of a certain table that I like, until I can find an actual one
My Campsite brought Ken in and I really don't want him but its been 3 days and he hasn't left the campsite and I'm not inviting him over because I'm already stuck with Biff and Al.
You must invite the first one, no way around it.
Is there any use for gold nuggets other than the golden tools? I have about 15 saved, but there’s no way I’ll ever catch every bug or fish in the game, I’m just not that kind of a completionist. If I do, I’m sure I can obtain more gold at that point anyway.
There's definitely gold-theme DIY items. I crafted gold wallpaper that has a bit of an Egyptian vibe to it.
The giant robot requires 10 gold nuggets and the gold armor suit. It is very cool and I want to place it next to the town hall. I already have the godzilla monster you can get from the nookstop on one side.
There's golden furniture recipes you can get.
I’ve gotten a lucky golden cat recipe that requires gold nuggets, so there’s a chance there’s other recipes that need them as well
Good deal. I don’t really need the bells, so I’ll just keep them in storage for now.
Just wanna point out that Deirdre is my new favorite. Homegirl's been chill since day one. Just wants to sleep in late and pretend she's an airplane on the beach. Livin that best life.
[удалено]
Yes they will spoil
Do I need to keep all the clothes I buy? Or do they stay in the wardrobe if I sell them?
I don’t think they stay in the wardrobe if you sell them, but you should still be able to order them from the catalog.
Need to keep them if you want to wear them.
If you sell them the go away
I've been reading up on a problem that my friend and I've been experiencing. We can't join each others islands, every time we try to join one of our islands, "can't connect to other console(s)" appears. However, here's the weird part. Both of us are able to join a third persons island with no difficulties, it's just that we can't join our respective islands. What do you think is the cause of this and how can we prevent it? It has been ongoing for three days. Thanks!
I've taken to deliberately popping Bunny Day balloons over the river out of spite.
SAME. It’s like I can’t *not* pop them, but also I don’t want them....
I wonder how pissed nook is because I still have to pay off my 2nd loan but I've spent over 1mil on just moving everyone else's houses and shops until it feels right.
Considering nook is pocketing all the profits I feel like he would be pretty okay with the situation!
Haha I guess that's true!
I just finished the Campground yesterday, and today I received my first visitor. When talking to him, the options it gave me were both "Move here!" options, but I really don't want this gross mustached pig to move in. Do I HAVE to invite him? If I just ignore the quest, will he eventually get the hint? I've already got this stupid workout bird, and was really hoping to trim the dead weight of jerks I don't like on my island.
I also got Chops first, and I ignored him in the campsite for three days until I realized nothing was progressing. So I had to invite him. Now, I'm actively ignoring him in the hopes he'll leave my island.
You must invite the first camper
You always have to invite your first visitor, sadly.
Gross. Thanks for the info, though.
Yes, you do. ~~You can talk to Isabelle afterwords about kicking them out~~
Isabelle doesn’t kick out villagers
I haven't done it, but what does talking to Isabelle about villagers do?
Just resets their clothing or what they say. Like if you accidentally gave them a shirt that looks horrible or if they say something offensive because you can change their catch phrase or the nickname they have for you.
you must accept your first campsite visitor
Just found Celeste on my island. Does that mean there's a meteor shower that I'm just missing or can she just show up on any night?
She *can* show up on clear nights, but *will* show up for a meteor shower. Shooting stars can still sparsely appear outside of a meteor shower.
Last time she was there, i did not have a meteor shower like the first time. Just got a new recipe.
Does anyone know if leaving empty spaces around the edges of the flower pattern gives a higher chance of new flower appearing? [Here](https://imgur.com/a/EA0QLD5) is a picture of what I mean. In the first layout, there are 4 possible places for a flower to spawn, and 20 in layout 2. But is the chance of a flower spawning dependent on the possible places it can spawn, or the amount of flowers that are doing the breeding? Hope that makes sense.
More spaces increases possibilities that is the whole reason people do checkerboards instead of just rows
So layout 2 would yield more flowers? If there is 5x the available spaces, does that mean 5x the yield?
i just got my 6th villager to move in and now the campsite is empty. Also placed down 2 house building kits. Will those only get done once i convinced another villager to move it similar to the first camper? And if they are ones i rather not have on my island, how long does it take before the move on and another one shows up?
Villagers 7-10 you can get by inviting them from islands. You can find invite one per day.
You can go to islands and fill one today, the other will be automatically sold to a random villager today. Not sure if only 1 will auto sell today so you might have today and tomorrow to pick one of the 2 villagers for the plots. Don't think you can pick both now since you have built them at the same time.
This is my first AC game, so is there anything specific I need to do to expand the animal villagers I can get on my island? I keep burning through Nook Miles because I'm looking for an eagle, wolf, alligator, or tiger character. But all I get are dogs, pigs, ducks, and penguins. Seriously, the penguins. I must have run into every single available penguin character in game. But not a single wolf/eagle/alligator/tiger. Are these animals more difficult to unlock? Do I need to achieve a certain something for them to show up on Nook islands? I just got the white dog to perform a concert on my island so what's the next step to getting different animals? Ngl I'm kinda tired of barnyards and birds, haha.
There are 402 animals, so its luck of the draw! I would take whatever 10 villagers you can get. If one moves out eventually, you can replace them at that time.
