Yes, you can. You can use the island moving service.

[mellow forge]

Yes

[pallid phoenix]

Hi guys

I need tips for my island design

Like im actually so unsatisfied with what i have and I dont have nintendo online for smeone to help

Pls ping me if u wanna help

[spare spoke]

You can always use sites like Pinterest for inspiration. You can also ask #acnh-chat⛱️ or #island-designs to help out by showing some screenshots of your island

[pallid phoenix]

ohhkk

Thank you soo much

[spare spoke]

[desert gate]

Hi guys, does anybody know the name of these wallpaper and flooring tiles please?

[upper aurora]

It is the Starry-Sky Wall (https://catalogue.ac/i/5500), which is covered with custom patterns using a lot of Glow-in-the-dark Stickers (https://catalogue.ac/i/14215)

You can use any custom pattern you draw/download for this last item, here it is just a simple black "X" repeated over the whole wall, making it look like a kind of full glass grid.

Oh also, the floor is the Future-tech flooring (https://catalogue.ac/i/5250).

[desert gate]

wow thats brilliant tysm!!

[gritty swallow]

hii, im new to acnh and was wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of villagers?? there’s a few i don’t want and i don’t know how to get them to leave. the game also forced me to invite a campsite visitor i did NOT want😭 does it always do this?

✨ How to Move Out Villagers ✨ ⠀

Read Yue's Comprehensive Move-Out Handbook to fully understand how the thought bubble move-out process works.

You can also use NookPlaza's Move Out Calculator to predict the chances of your villagers moving out based on your friendship levels.

[gritty swallow]

tysm! if i travel back will it be all back to normal like nothing happened? just no villager ofc?

[scarlet jolt]

yeah, pretty much! maybe some weeds grow

[upper aurora]

When you travel back only a few things can happen:

• You'll automatically get the Redd arts you bought in your mail box.
• Your turnips will rotten
• The flowers/produce you watered will lose their water state

Apart from that, nothing that could be problematic on the long term.

[gritty swallow]

one more question lol, does it matter if there is an event, for example will the fishing tourney today interfere with time traveling forward and then going back?

[upper aurora]

No it won't

[gritty swallow]

thank you so much!

uhh one more thing, how it says to save and exit, should i close then game completely or still leave it on in the background?

[onyx valve]

I can’t figure out if NMT means Nook Miles Ticket or has something to do with Materials and Tools.

[clever wedge]

It's Nook Miles Ticket!

[onyx valve]

Okay, thank you!

[gritty swallow]

when attempting to move out villagers, the part of the guide where it says to save and exit, does that mean just save and exit in the game or save/exit then close the software completely?

[scarlet jolt]

I usually just save and wait for it to finish typing the message that says that it was saved. then i go to settings, change the time, and go back to the game. So I dont close it completely

I feel like it takes longer to open the game anew.

[gritty swallow]

thank you!

[scarlet jolt]

Gladly!

[gentle schooner]

Hii if u have amiibo cards: after the 3rd invite when the villager prompts you to convince them to move to your island, they will go talk to residential services and if there are no available plots on your island for the campsite villager to move you can pick what villager to move out

[gritty swallow]

thank you!

[gentle schooner]

Ofc!!

[slate trout]

Hi! I have recently downloaded ACNH and I am getting to explore how it works. How do we explore new islands online? Sadly for me, none of my friends are playing this game 😬

[gentle schooner]

Hii go to the airport, when u talk to orville click the "i want to fly" option and he will ask if you want online or local play

[scarlet jolt]

First of all, you do need the Nintendo Online subscription in order to visit players online.

If none of your friends play the game, you can check out #island-hangouts🛩️🏝️
There, people post their dodo codes, so you can visit them if they have their gates open!

[slate trout]

Thank you ayana and Berenike! I will give this a try 🙂

[gentle schooner]

Ofc!!

[compact stag]

Hi! I'm seeing some weird islands on Twitch with multiple islands displayed. Can someone explain what they are?
I've only been playing for two weeks, so I don't know much about ACNH

⚠️ Treasure Islands 🏝️

A "treasure island" is an island created by a player that is FILLED with dropped items for you to take!

DO be aware that most of these islands are hacked, and visiting hacked islands could interfere with your game progression!!

Some possible issues include:

• Picking up items that may get permanently stuck in your inventory without any way to remove them (e.g. mailboxes)
• Being unable to unlock certain facilities, like the Roost
• Being unable to receive certain DIYs from seasonal events, such as Bunny Day

-# We don't care what you do with your island, but we do NOT allow hacked islands to be advertised in this server. You may DM OrvBot (ModMail) / @steep snow if you notice anyone advertising a hacked island.

-# Treasure islands ARE allowed to be advertised in this server as long as there is no evidence of mods/hacks. We do NOT allow the "looking for" of these islands.

[scarlet jolt]

They are treasure islands.

[compact stag]

What is the purpose of this mystery island?

[scarlet jolt]

To pick up items that you want! Check the message above

[slate trout]

How do you know if an island is hacked?

[scarlet jolt]

You know if its a treasure island because it has all of these items dropped, and they automatically respawn so that the next person can pick it up.

[scarlet jolt]

Of course there are also hacked islands that are not treasure islands. Just regular player island, but they will have items that do not exist in the game. Such as unique hair styles etc.

[gritty swallow]

after i get my villager to move out, do i travel back to the normal day/time, or do i have to go forward more days to get them out?

[twilit fulcrum]

Hi, I completely missed the todays fishing tournament. Will there be any problems in the game, when I travel back in time even after I saved after the tournament is officially over?

[crimson canyon]

How do I put an image up like a sign post or a standing image? It’s so easy in new leaf. New horizons has me rly confused with this though

[warm light]

if you’ve got turnips, they’ll spoil - but that’s the only consequence of tt’ing backwards in general, so you should be fine :)

[gritty swallow]

nevermind! i got it lol

[twilit fulcrum]

Thank you! I sold all my turnips so I think I am ready for my first time travel in the past 🙏

[warm light]

when you select a custom design, there should be an option to “display here”, the “canvas” option should be what you’re looking for

[warm light]

have fun! lol

[dense oar]

How do I get fishing swag from doing the tourney?

[novel iron]

Talk to cj there is a option saying there's something else then from there select swap for swag

It cost 10 pts for 1 item

[frosty crater]

Do you guys know the quickest way to get a specific villager out I’ve been playing for hours and can’t get her to leave it’s actually excruciating

The villager before her also took like 5 hours of time travelling

[strong pumice]

.t moveout Sounds like you're already using the standard method, it can take an annoyingly long time. Just don't try to use it on the newest villager, maybe get a house moving kit for someone to rule them out

[celest lynx]

[frosty crater]

Thank you so much!!

[near umbra]

lets say i start a fishing round, if i turn off my switch and power it on again after 6PM, will the round be gone?

[dense oar]

Not sure where to post this. I wanted to open my island for donations on my first bridge installation. How would I do that?

[plucky zenith]

Probably #player-services ?

[ruby echo]

We don’t allow asking for free items anywhere in the server (including donations), but you can post in #player-services like coral said. I would just offer to do a service in return, like water someone’s flowers, de-weed an island, etc if you can’t offer items in return for the donations

[worthy wedge]

Hello, where can i see the items that you could get from the tournament?

[worthy wedge]

Thanks!

[strong forge]

Hi everyone. Does anyone know what item this is? It’s customizable but I’m not able to tell. Thank you in advance!!! 🙂

[rich kite]

Those are umbrellas, I'm not sure which specific umbrella you would need but it's custom designs on umbrellas turned so you see just the open umbrella and not the handle when placed.

[strong forge]

Omgg thank you so much!! I really appreciate it 🥰🥰

[wide hornet]

to get the gold fishing tourney trophy, do i need a net total of 300 points? or 300 points in one day?

im asking because i assumed it was 300 points in one day but then CJ just told me i have 200 net total points

[rich kite]

300 net points

[wide hornet]

thanks! he JUST told me i got the trophy xD

[plucky zenith]

You can straight up design umbrellas as pro custom designs it’s not a customization

[rich kite]

@strong forge here's better information for you about the umbrellas

[lucid mirage]

For my KK mission, I need to clean out my island because residents have been complaining about trash in the ground. I have picked up everything; does weed count as garbage?

[novel iron]

No , you need to pick up dropped items

[lusty remnant]

Guys what does resetti actually do does he clean up weeds or reset your whole island I don’t quite understand what he does

[lucid mirage]

I had done that and nothing happened. After many tried however the message stopped appearing

Yay!

[mossy palm]

He sends all items and possibly flowers outside to your storage in an area of your choosing. Whether or not it's the whole island, the beaches, or an area of your choosing like he should tell you. He can also remove or keep all your custom designs.

He resets the area to be empty except for trees, bushes, buildings, and paths, and possibly flowers and custom designs. Terraforming is unaffected.

[upper aurora]

You can also choose to make it keep, store or get rid of flowers (like for custom designs)

[mossy palm]

Leif cleans up weeds

Oh, was not aware! I just assumed why would anyone want to trash their flowers

[novel iron]

You could try asking this in #island-hangouts🛩️🏝️

[forest pagoda]

just solved the issue actually! but thank you

[quiet egret]

any tips on finding an atlas moth :3

i read they appear on trees but any other tips?

nvm i found one on a tree but scared it away agony

[mellow forge]

Me because at one point i stopped playing for 3 months and when I came back the ENTIRE ISLAND IS COVERED IN FLOWERS 😂 😭

[mellow forge]

Yeah it took me a while to catch one because i kept scaring it away 🥲
You need to creep up on it by holding A, and stopping at the right moment. If you get too close, even if you're creeping it'll scare it away. It's more luck/skill than anything else

[weak fable]

Guys how do I get rid of these flowers, I'm trying to get more roses to grow and these other flowers I forgot the name of keep growing

They're lillies

I need to stop lillies from growing, how do I do that

[quiet egret]

yeah ... i hope to catch one for museum but also because it's really pretty :3

[ruby echo]

Remove the unwanted flowers, they won’t stop growing if they keep getting watered

[mossy palm]

Bumping this for the first and last time before I resign myself to sourcing everything I've given him again and gift bombing

[weak fable]

I'm not watering them, they're in the very back of my island

[red remnant]

What’s the difference between amiibo cards and amiibo figurines?

[novel iron]

They both function the same

[vagrant sphinx]

If it rains or snows it counts as them being watered as well

[ashen wave]

i remember there being some channels that had some guides n stuff but theyre missing now?

[novel iron]

Any guide in particular you are looking for?

[ashen wave]

i remember there was this critter tracker google sheets template in one of them is what im looking for

[slender vine]

Hiii, i've just had my campsite built but there's still no visitor...i saw that they're guaranteed because they'll be my first visitor but do they appear immediately or will they take time?

[shrewd marlin]

Your first camper will visit the day after the campsite has been built, so expect to meet them tomorrow!

[slender vine]

I started building the campsite yesterday and today the campsite has been completed

[shrewd marlin]

When the campsite is complete and fully built, it will remain empty for one day before the visitor arrives, so since it has been completed today, the villager will arrive tomorrow. Isabelle will announce it first thing when you log in tomorrow, so you will know immediately when you get your first camper

[slender vine]

I see! Okayy thanks for the info!

[empty crane]

My island is overrun with flowers how do I sort this out quickly 😅

[mellow forge]

Mr resetti

[mellow forge]

You can tell him to remove the flowers in a specific area you chose

[empty crane]

Ah brilliant! I didn’t know if it reset my whole island or not! I’m so glad to hear this thank you so much

[mellow forge]

You can also reset the whole island if you wish i think

[solid vale]

Anytime it’s a shooting star night Celeste is there yea?

[spare spoke]

Nope. Celeste usually means shooting stars, but shooting stars don't always mean Celeste

[solid vale]

Ah gotcha thanks

[mellow forge]

Can celeste come on a non-shooting star day?

[spare spoke]

I don't think so but I'm not 100% about that

[royal patrol]

Can anyone tell if this is real or fake? I can’t tell…

[sick fjord]

That's a fake; the lady figure is bigger and sometimes faces the opposite direction at nighttime

[delicate spire]

How do the dream things work? I feel I might be missing out on smth lol

[mellow forge]

You lie in your bed and chose the " i want to sleep" option

After you can just ask Luna how it works yourself

I've never done it so i hope that didn't sound rude I'm just not the best person to ask as i don't have nso

[lost axle]

Omg that's awesome! And does it matter what console? Like from switch to switch 2 or the other way around and such?

[coral jackal]

It doesn't matter

[lost axle]

Great! Ty for answering my question

[coral jackal]

You're welcome!

[fallow helm]

Hiii! I recently got back into ACNH again with a new island after years of not playing. And I don't remember how one gets more furniture and diy-recipes. I know there are channels here for trading specific items and diys but I would just like to catalogue as much as possible without picking out the exact things I want. Is there any such way to go about it?

[scarlet jolt]

I guess treasure islands would be the quickest and easiest

[fallow helm]

Oh! What are those?

[scarlet jolt]

there we go

[scarlet jolt]

here's some info loll

[fallow helm]

Oh I see! And how do I find these islands? Do we have a channel for advertising it?

[scarlet jolt]

Nope, like it says in the message above; advertising them is not allowed. If you look up "ACNH' on Twitch, most live streams are actually treasure islands, not even ppl just randomly playing the game. So you should easily find them.

[fallow helm]

Oh, I thought it was fine as long as it wasn't by cheating. But thank you so much!

[hardy cobalt]

Can I invite multiple mystery island villagers on the same day if I have multiple open plots or do I need to timeskip?

[scarlet jolt]

Technically that's right, but it being called a treasure island automatically implies that it's a hacked island

[vagrant sphinx]

Non hacked/ non modded treasure islands are sometimes posted here in #island-hangouts🛩️🏝️

[scarlet jolt]

Wait, I didn't know non hacked treasure islands are a thing lol!

[frosty pebble]

Hii everyone sorry to ask but I can't get Nintendo online, is there any other way to visit/be visited? I would love to visit a friends island but she lives in a different city :']

[vagrant sphinx]

No unfortunately. You don't need NSO for local play but you need to be in the same location

[frosty pebble]

Ah, I see I see, thank you very much my friend, I'll keep that in mind if we ever visit one another :]

[crimson canyon]

Lmao what flower is this?

[ruby echo]

Those are cosmos

[crimson canyon]

R they like a rare type though

I couldn’t find what kind they were

[novel iron]

They are the rarest of the Cosmo, they are black Cosmo's

[crimson canyon]

ONG

Ty

They looked purple to me. Maybe that’s why I had trouble

Also I saw something on the internet saying gifting villagers wrapped items thru mail does nothing but gifting them directly does, does any1 know if that’s true?? :(

[gentle schooner]

I think it's true, letters don't give you friendship points

But one gift everyday does

[crimson canyon]

:(

[versed heron]

Hello everyone, I’m new to the game. I’m trying to make a bridge construction kid but I’m missing one (1) clay and all of the stones on my island are broken. Is there anything I can do?

[novel iron]

If you have Nintendo switch online you can trade in #materials-and-tools if not use a nook miles ticket to hit rocks on a mystery island

[ruby mango]

Is there any chance to remove the option that automatically sells a free plot to random villagers?

[spare spoke]

Sadly, no

You have about a game day to find a new villager. The next day it may or may not auto fill

[novel iron]

If you're ok with time travel there is a way to keep the plot from autofilling

[spare spoke]

That too

[lilac lark]

is this rock head statue real or fake? 🥲

[mellow cloak]

Is there any way to find out how many friendship points you have with your villagers?

[spare spoke]

[fast sky]

Haii! I was wondering if someone would be willing to give me a ladder 🥲 I don't have the recipe yet

[spare spoke]

You should get a ladder recipe from Tom Nook when you start the three plots quest. Otherwise you could ask in #materials-and-tools

[fast sky]

that's kind of the problem, that happens maybe tomorrow, im not far enough yet but i got a present that dropped on the cliff xD

[spare spoke]

OH, oops XD I recommend #materials-and-tools in that case

[fast sky]

Thankies! posted there :3

[delicate spire]

Does anyone have a list, preferably with images of the tiles, of all of the nook achievements? I'm trying to fill them all but have some that are still blank

I'm missing 15

[lapis pier]

Am I the only one that while is playing gets stuck and cannot move for a second?

[novel iron]

You can Google search "acnh nook miles achievements" and nookipeda should have a list in unlock order

[novel iron]

Are you playing online?

[lapis pier]

Nope! I’m offline. It’s been happening this whole week. :(

I thought maybe I had a lot of stuff around my island? But it’s just flowers that I’m trying to remove but they’re growing everywhere. Idk if it’s that or if my switch is dying. But at the same time I don’t think so cuz the others gamers I have run perfectly fine!

[novel iron]

Yea can't say I've come across that issue while playing offline I've had movement slowed down In heavily decorated areas but not stopped

[weak fable]

Darn this

[lapis pier]

Owe :( I really switch ain’t dying. Tysm tho boo <3

[weak fable]

Guys I hadn't played animal crossing for 4 months, can anyone explain why my mailbox is gone

I can't find it in my inventory or my storage

[warm light]

maybe you placed it somewhere on the island if it isn’t in your inventory?

[weak fable]

Ur right

Wait guys is this villager rare

He's in my hotel

[stark granite]

Does it have to be night time to go to an island with glowing moss?

[livid trail]

Nope

[eternal badger]

I bought turnips tdy and they rotted already? How can that be? I didn't change the time btw. Is it cz of the rain, since I stored them outside?

[vagrant sphinx]

That wouldn't do it- you're positive you didn't change the time at all?

Any time travel backwards even if it's a few minutes will rot turnips

[eternal badger]

Yep i am positive that I didn't change the time

[vagrant sphinx]

Does anyone else use your switch?

[eternal badger]

Nope

[vagrant sphinx]

You bought turnips from daisy Mae today Sunday the 12th, how many hours in game went by between getting them and the turnips rotting ?

[eternal badger]

Idk like 4 to 5 hours

[vagrant sphinx]

And in that time you didn't go into switch settings at all? Even with the game closed or to sync to the internet? Just double checking

If nothing in the settings was changed they shouldn't have rotted

[eternal badger]

Nope wasn't in the Switch settings

[lost dirge]

No villagers are especially rare lol just more popular/in demand than others

Like if youre hunting for a specific cat it's gonna take a bit longer than hunting for a specific frog because of how statistics work (game rolls for species and then villager & cats have the most villagers) buttt

Maybe also some are rarer in the sense that they're less likely to be offered in trades especially for a reasonable price + are more likely to get snapped up quickly
But like, technically, no

[mossy palm]

Can I craft partitions and columns for the other player houses on my island? I don't particularly want to play through hhp for every account if I don't have to
I am aware that I won't be able to do effects though

[winter nimbus]

I restarted my game after being away a few years. I’m so overwhelmed by how much you have to do before getting back to where I was with terraforming and everything unlocked!

Are there any any reliable guides for getting everything unlocked at a fast rate? As well as guides for making money and miles?

Thanks everyone!

[lost dirge]

Hmmm see if you can drop one outside or attach it to a letter as a test, if you can't then I don't think so 😭

[faint smelt]

If you look in the server guide channel there are various guides for the game posted. Hope that helps.

[stiff dust]

i've been playing for six years and i've never gotten the golden ladder DIY. am i doing something wrong?

[warm light]

if you're talking about the golden ladder set-up kit, that's just a normal DIY that you can get from villagers or message bottles. BUT if you mean an actual golden ladder tool like the other golden tools, there isn't one unfortunately

[stiff dust]

i guess i'm talking about the golden ladder set-up kit?

and the iron ladder set-up kit?

[warm light]

yeah, those are just regular DIYs, no need to do anything special to get them :)

[weak fable]

Guys is there something like pesticide in animal crossing to stop lillies from growing after i take them out

[vagrant sphinx]

Regular Lillie's or lily of the valley ?

[weak fable]

Regular lillies

[vagrant sphinx]

After you've removed them all they won't continue to spawn

[weak fable]

Oh, thanks

[upper aurora]

Can I ask where you get this information from exactly? I can't find anything about it in the datamined docs

The cLand:FlwLilyGrowCounter should still continue to increase each day while you're still at a 5 stars island rate

[vagrant sphinx]

For regular lilys?

[weak fable]

No, it's the normal lillies, not the 5 star one

[upper aurora]

Aaaaah! My bad!

[vagrant sphinx]

I thought that was just for lily of the valley

Oh okay! No worries

[upper aurora]

I was very confused sorry

(In my language those flowers are named differently)

[weak fable]

I would really like to get one so I could use one as a wand

[winter nimbus]

What’s the fastest way to grind the ore for making nook’s cranny again?

[upper aurora]

The required wood should be easily collected from your main island's trees, if you need more iron nuggets though, you can go for some mystery tours, most of mystery islands types contain 2-3 rocks you can hit.

[winter nimbus]

I don’t think I can go on the tours yet or if I have enough currency to go on them. Im in a fresh new play through at the moment so I don’t have much D:

[stiff dust]

are they tradeable? as in, is it possible someone has those to trade me?

[warm light]

yeah! you can post in #diy-trade if you've got NSO

[stiff dust]

awesome thank you

[lusty remnant]

Can someone help me cause why on the floppy frog Henry won’t leave,
Like he refuses to, I’ve time travelled an whole year ahead in the past 3 days and not once has he asked to move yet all my other villagers have

1. He is my oldest villager
2. I’ve given him gifts and talked to him and then time travelled 15 days and yer he still doesn’t want to leave
3. I have a villagers moving kit in my inventory to increase the random chance he will ask to move out but he hasn’t yet
4. I’ve restarted my switch to see if it will work but it isn’t
   Idk what the problem is can someone please help me!

[gentle schooner]

Hiii do u have amiibo cards?

[lusty remnant]

Nope 👎

[gentle schooner]

Aw ok, cause there's a way u can kick a villager of ur island using the cards

[lusty remnant]

Yeah, I just don’t know what Henry’s problem is

[gentle schooner]

😭

If u ever do get amiibo cards on the 3rd invite u can pick what villager u want to replace

[lusty remnant]

Yes

[ancient burrow]

Can I choose what area resetti resets ? And will the items go to my inventory?

[lusty remnant]

Yes you can choose the area, and you can choose if the items go to storage or the rubbish

[strong pumice]

He might be the one you most recently told not to leave, try telling someone else to stay and skip ahead a couple weeks

[ancient burrow]

Thx !

[lusty remnant]

Okay thank you!

I haven’t thought of that

[delicate spire]

How long after a villager leaves does the plot autofill? Additionally, is there a way to remove the plot until I find a villager I want?

[gentle schooner]

I think 1 day

[strong pumice]

It's random, but you only get one guaranteed empty day before it can auto fill. No way to remove a placed plot

[delicate spire]

Only one villager appears on a mystery island each day right?

[next plaza]

How often does Flick come to the island? I need butterfly models but never see him

[next plaza]

When the plot is open you can use as many nook miles tickets until you find the one you want

[vagrant sphinx]

You can only adopt one per day from a mystery island

[vagrant sphinx]

[next plaza]

Thank you

[dense oar]

This might be dumb to ask. But every time I use a miles ticket it takes me to the same island. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong?

[upper aurora]

Are you in the step where you have invited your 3 first villagers recently?

If yes, does at least the first one you invited from the queue already moved in?

[surreal blaze]

i have 4 green chrysanthemums , do the multiply by themselves or do they only grow from the purple crossbreeding

like if i plant all four of them in an empty plot will they grow more

[dense oar]

Yes I currently have 8 villagers fully moved in

[stiff dust]

does visiting other people's islands and getting a KK song count toward the stamp achievement?

[upper aurora]

You probably have 2-2-0 genes green mums, so yeah, they can only breed into green mums with a 100% chance.
However, note that if ever you want to "duplicate" a hybrid flower without "breeding" it (so without the risk of crossing genes), you can simply isolate it and water it. It will have a chance to clone itself the next day.

[upper aurora]

Did already you invite a 9th villager from a NMT island today?

[dense oar]

No. I haven’t gotten any villagers from nmt islands. They all came to me on their own.

[upper aurora]

I'm not sure then. There are testimonials of players saying they were stuck always having the same mystery island during the time one of their villager was in the queue to move in. Do you currently have an empty plot on your island that has already been bought?

[upper aurora]

Yes it counts too
Edit (in case of searching): No it doesn't.

[dense oar]

I don’t believe so. In this case, what is the use of nmt?

[upper aurora]

What do you mean exactly?

[dense oar]

Like if the tickets are just sending me to the same island each time, is there a reason for me to have the tickets?

[stiff dust]

i did the other person's island first and it did NOT seem to count or to give me a song item.

[strong pumice]

Most of the islands are similar, though there are some rare ones with money rocks and stuff. You're meant to use them to farm materials, but usually if you're not hunting villagers it's not really worth it

[upper aurora]

I checked it again and it seems you're right, sorry for the wrong information 😔

[upper aurora]

Yes, unless they are exactly the same (like, same shape, native fruit) every time after a bunch of attempts.
Erin2310, how many attempts exactly did you make to go to that conclusion?
Are the islands always "exactly" the same, or just of the same "type"?

Any tips to earn a lot of bells?

[novel iron]

.t bells

[celest lynx]

Some Ways to Make Bells

• Dive & catch sea creatures to sell back to Nook's Cranny.
• Grow things (fruits, flowers, pumpkins, etc.) to sell at Nook's Cranny.
• If you have NSO (Nintendo Switch Online), trade with other players in this server to sell your services or goods.
• Play the stalk market – buy turnips at a low price & sell them high!
  -# (See .t turnips to learn how!)

-# ✨ GUARANTEED Profits With Turnips!! ✨
-# If you have NSO & are ok with time-traveling, here's a guaranteed way to make BIG profits with turnips:
-# 1. Wait until someone announces that they have HIGH turnip prices in https://discord.com/channels/494376688256548865/693843024186179635.
-# 2. Message them & politely ask if you may sell your turnips on their island.
-# 3. If yes, time travel to Sunday & buy turnips from Daisy Mae on your island.
-# 4. Bring those turnips to sell on their island.
-# 5. If they're ok with you making multiple trips, you can go back to your island & buy more turnips to sell! Repeat & profit!!

[cedar tartan]

I just learned about using the switch app and that the newspaper on it tracks turnip prices, but mine is stuck showing last week, I turned on the game and saved yesterday and today connected to the internet but its not rolling over, do i need to do something specifically?

[delicate spire]

Do gyroids sometimes spawn in instead of fossils?? I found two gyroids I didn't plant and can only find 2 fossils

[opal rock]

No, gyroids spawn independently of fossils.

[coral jackal]

1. You can check if the app needs updating.
2. Wait for a few more days (check every day). I’ve found that my app loads 2 days slow sometimes.

[mossy palm]

Once you've buried and grown a gyroid on your island, from then on any time it rains or snows two buried gyroids will(?) spawn the next day. They're separate from fossils as Willow said.

Will(?) because I don't recall if it's guaranteed or not but I'm pretty sure it is. I also faintly recall it stacks so if you didn't dig up all the rain/snow gyroids, more of them can still spawn after another rainy/snowy as long as there's space.

[mystic turret]

I was trying to get to the fishing tourney and accidentally time traveled to 2027 😭

what consequences will there be besides tons of weeds, roaches and my villagers being mad?

[silk knot]

If you didn't have turnips, none. And the villagers won't be mad, they'll just talk about how you were gone so long the first time you chat with them and go back to normal.

[mystic turret]

okay thank you!

[jolly swallow]

does anyone know the best time of year to catch a tuna fish? I've been trying for ages without success 🙁

[sand jetty]

Any way to get iron? I’ve used all the rocks in my island, plus used 2 nook tickets to island hop and get some iron there. Only need 4 to get the store going! :p

[ruby echo]

.t rockmats

[celest lynx]

✨ Rock Materials: How to Get More ✨

• Visit mystery islands with Nook Miles Tickets. These islands always have rocks you can hit for materials.
• Trade with other players in #materials-and-tools if you have Nintendo Switch Online.
• Wait for the rocks to respawn (at 5am each day) & maximize your hits by using a shovel (it's slightly quicker than the axe). Dig holes behind where you would stand to stop your character from getting pushed away from the rock. ⠀

[sand jetty]

Sorry wut :3

New here :p

[upper aurora]

What Nikki used here (.t <subject>) are just prefix-based commands to make the NookBot output a specific guide. Here it was about the "rocks material", you can see the bot shared the relative guide just after. You can also use such commands in #bot-commands if ever you're looking for some FAQ guides, sending only .t alone to get the list of available options. 😉

Basically what you did is already the "best" way. Fastest way if you need 4 more iron nuggets is probably to go to another mystery island with a Nook Miles Ticket. You could also get materials in blue flying balloons, but that way is just about luck.

I reset my data and started a new island in January after not playing for about three years. I've been diving every day since getting the wetsuit and still haven't caught a single scallop or seen Pascal. Did they change this mechanic in an update?

I can say you're having bad luck finding scallops , they did change the rewards pascal gives you, now you will get a mermaid DIY/item and a pearl once a day from pascal

Does anyone have tips on catching a Napoleonfish or string fish? They’re the last two I need and I feel like I’m losing my mind😭

[novel iron]

Just being in the correct month/ time , fish bait and a lot of luck

[strong pumice]

And the right location, stringfish are only in rivers (water connected to a river mouth) at least one level above the ocean. To save on bait, you can wait for an autosave and just keep tossing bait in until a very large shadow appears, and close the game if it doesn't happen

[rugged jungle]

Do we have access or recommendations for treasure islands on this server? I just restarted my whole island and I’m looking for a free one, if possible

does time travelling in ACNH affect pokemon pokopia at all? I change my switch times a lot but I am scared to do it while playing pokopia

Thank you! The mermaid set is my favorite so that's why I've been hunting. I have been trying at home, on islands, all times of day, different weather etc just to see what's going on and still no dice 😭 glad to hear they didn't do away with it though!!

[novel iron]

Keep in mind pascal will only show up on your island

Also I don't think he will show up if your gates are open

[clever wedge]

Hey! This chat is specifically for ACNH questions, you can ask about Pokopia in #pokemon!

hi guys!! I have a question and neeed help!! 🙏 💞
I won a giveaway in the giveaway channel, and collected my winnings! I had my inventory full of bells, I won 4 million!! But when I got to my island they were all gone!! I only had 3 of the bags of bells in my inventory. And then I was thinking maybe it glitched and they r back on the island that graciously hosted it, but when I went to my airport it says this too!! I don't know what to do or where my inventory of bells went and am really sad and confused ab it, can anyone help me plz! What should I do??

[novel iron]

If you're still in contact with the giveaway host ask if you can pick up when the maintenance is over (usually 1 hour)

[normal aurora]

thank u!!! i'll try that!

[white bison]

How do you use design codes?

[upper aurora]

At the back-right corner of the Able Sisters shop, there is a kiosk that allows you to reach the "Custom Design Portal".
From here you can search custom design per design code (MO), or author code (MA).
If you're advanced enough in the game, from the Nook Stop at the resident services, you may also be able to buy a NookPhone app (if you don't already have it) that allows you to reach this interface from anywhere.

[queen junco]

anyone have any tips for flattening an Island? im almost done removing all the cliffs, feels like it's taking years but im quickly getting there.. 👌 also, if I don't have enough space to move my buildings to the beach, where's the next place I should put them all?

[mossy palm]

The NSO app also has a qr scanner for 3DS-era designs. Note that New Leaf designs have some limitations when it comes to sharing, though otherwise work perfectly fine in-game. (It's also the only way to get the classic horned hats)

[outer wyvern]

Hii I have a quick question!! I was looking at my recipes with star fragments and it says I have 25 fragments but I only see 4 in my pocket :’) so I’m a little confused :(

[mossy palm]

The hotel update added the ability to simply craft from storage. From what I understand, that is default now and is not even locked behind nook mile shop.

It'll use the materials in your pocket first before tapping into your storage

[outer wyvern]

Thank you!! :)

[unique copper]

this might seem like a dumb question, but how do i get the vines that go on the cliffsides?

[mossy palm]

Kapp'n is an NPC character that will be unlocked at some point. He will bring you to a mystery island from a selection of special islands once per day, and eventually two per day when you do the hotel. Some islands have vines and moss. None of these islands can be accessed through the regular nook mile ticket.

On top of that, the paid Happy Home Paradise dlc has them available.

[unique copper]

thank you sm! i have the dlc but i recently restarted my island and i never got to learn how to get them. have an amazing day/night :)

[mossy palm]

The main island with dlc has moss and vines you can bald. They replenish gradually over time, and it's probably the fastest way to get them. Regardless, Kapp'n is the free way to get it basically.

But also if you have online it's another thing you can just trade for.

[zenith gorge]

does anyone know how to fix the 2618 error code

[spare spoke]

Have you checked your nattype?

.t nattypes

[celest lynx]

🌐 NAT Types 📡

• Depending on your NAT type (Network Address Translation), you may find it hard to connect to other players via online play.
• Typically, those with NAT types A (which can connect to all types above F) and B are the best connections to have and can therefore connect to most players.
• If you have NAT type C or below, you may have trouble connecting and need to adjust your WiFi router.
• You can check your NAT type by going to System > Internet > Test Connection.
• For more information on NAT types, click here.

[zenith gorge]

its b

[spare spoke]

Do you have this issue connecting to all islands? Can people visit you?

[crimson canyon]

Why does animal crossing have an update?

[spare spoke]

Usually small bug fixes

[zenith gorge]

ive tried like 2 different treasure islands and then going to someone elses island for a trade and those both didnt work, i havent tried having people come to me

[sick fjord]

All of those bug fixes and they didn't tone down the incoming visitor screen with the funky ass bossa tune like yeah you had the visitor's screen show the island overview but other than that??

[spare spoke]

Nat type B can still be a bit iffy sometimes. T-mobile America apparently always has issues, regardless of Nat type...

[zenith gorge]

💔💔sighfhfh this is outrageous thx tho

[lost axle]

Yes tysm!!

[crimson canyon]

Are glow in the dark stickers rare? I can’t find that many pictures of them on google

[sick fjord]

Not really that rare, so the DIY card should be obtainable from either a vine and moss island from a Kapp'n tour or via the HHP main archipelago since all the message bottles you'll get are part of the vine and moss series.

[lost axle]

I've send you a message in private! Because Im not sure if I can promote treasure islands in this server

[sick fjord]

No hacked islands in this server

[crimson canyon]

Yay :)

[fierce skiff]

What’s the max amount you can get from a money tree?

Like I’ve done 16,000 bells and when I collected it I got 3 bags of 16,000. But it seems if I do 20,000 it rips me off and only gives 3 bags of 10k :/

[shell hedge]

If I have 2 cats on my island whats the probability of getting more cats

Does it increase?

[mellow forge]

Umm I'm guessing no but I'm probably not the best person to ask

[untold mirage]

the safest is to just put 10k since it will always give you 30k, any other higher amount will give you random amount, you might get 3x higher or another 30k

[untold mirage]

i watched before in youtube that probability does increase

[shell hedge]

Ah

[crimson canyon]

I’m visiting a dream town and there’s a dg music player somewhere on the island. Why won’t the game tell me what song is playing?

[lost axle]

Since its a dream I think you can't interact with stuff if im correct? But maybe you can use the planner for acnh app to play songs and see if it sounds the same

Or YouTube or Spotify would probably work too! :)

[crimson canyon]

Ripp :(

Sry for so many questions

What happens if someone stays in a dream town until it goes past 5 am in that dream? I’m curious

I updated my dream town 2 mins before 5 am

[lost axle]

Tought so too, but i didnt find him, ill restart my game and look for him again

[lucid mirage]

I finally got K. K to perform on my island... Now what?

How do I upgrade?

[lost axle]

What do you want to upgrade? Your star island rating?

[flat echo]

Upgrade what?

[lucid mirage]

Ah, I thought I had to do something specific in order to get tasks again, sorry I'm new;

[flat echo]

Unfortunately not. Once you reach a certain point Tom Nook stops giving you objectives and you're on your own for what to do with your time and island. Most folks jump in headfirst to either make the island their own, endeavor to get a 5 star rating or both.

[lucid mirage]

Oh wowo.... Dang Im going to be so lost then

Thank you for the response!

[strong pumice]

Slider's show is technically "winning the game" (that's why it rolls the credits) but there's tons of optional things to do after. Collecting all his songs, for example

[jolly swallow]

how do i get more villagers to move to my island?

[opal rock]

How many villagers do you currently have?

[jolly swallow]

9

[opal rock]

If you haven't already, you'll need to buy another plot from Tom Nook, which will be your 10th and final plot

[jolly swallow]

ah okay - thank you 🙂

i didn't realise you had to re buy the plot if someone moves away

[opal rock]

Oh! Sorry, if someone moves away you don't have to rebuy the plot. It'll be empty until you either hunt for a new villager using NMT's or the plot autofills

[jolly swallow]

ah okay thats alright thanks for letting me know 🙂

sorry i should have specified that at the start 😂

can you rename your island without resetting it?

[spare spoke]

Sadly not

[jolly swallow]

that's sad

[thorny agate]

Hi! fairly new to the game. I was wondering if I can't get the axe in almost 2 weeks already, although I'm playing alone and already paid off the house loan. should I just restart maybe I missed something?

[waxen knoll]

Hello, tbh I don’t really remember but I think Tomnook gives you the card for the axe after you bring him fish and other insects, but I don’t know if I remember correctly

[thorny agate]

yes that was what they say in the guide but he never asked me for one

[spare spoke]

Tom doesn't specifically ask for the critters. Just give him any. It'll also unlock Blathers, the museum

[coral jackal]

You have to talk to him, there should be an option to show him a critter. You will need to show him 5 different critters.

[thorny agate]

only these

[spare spoke]

Just to be sure, are you the island owner?

[coral jackal]

Do you have a critter in your pocket right now?

[spare spoke]

Also a good question

[thorny agate]

yes and yes

here's my inventory atm

[spare spoke]

Hmmm odd

[thorny agate]

I've never played with anyone yet so I assume I'm the owner. is there a way to double check?

[spare spoke]

If you created the island, you're the owner

Are there more profiles on your switch?

Your passport should have the Resident Rep stamp if you're the owner

[thorny agate]

le me check

omg i dont

its suppose to be here right.

[spare spoke]

Oh

Yeah then you're not the rep

[thorny agate]

so odd. i dont have any other profiles though 🙁

[spare spoke]

Oh

Huh

[thorny agate]

would resetting make me create a new island?

[spare spoke]

Yes. Resetting makes a new island and makes you the resident rep at least. If you're not the owner now, you won't be able to progress a whole lot.

You don't share the switch?

[thorny agate]

I do what we don't have a separate profile

its not much progress yet anyways. I'll just restart. Thank you so much for answering!

[spare spoke]

Glad we could help at least

[upper aurora]

Before doing that you can try to archive the game's app and reinstall it. Sometimes after some update, weird things can happen.

(Being able to run the game without any representative resident is the first time I see that though)

[rugged jungle]

So sorry I don’t have messages turned on but thanks for letting me know! In any case trades from here would be fine once I get my island more populated :)

Hey so I lucked out and got my first 500,000 bells with turnip trading today and I'm wondering what to spend it on. I didn't get this far last time I played, and I only have the main room expansion on my house so far. Building my full island is going to take some time, because I want to go for a medieval theme. Is there a compressive list of expenses somewhere that I can reference?

[novel iron]

If you plan on making a castle it can get very expensive the castle tower alone is a 250k bell item

[frosty spindle]

Yeah, I saw that.... 😅 But I'm not super worried about saving up for that, as I'm nowhere near ready for the full construction job I wanna do.

[jolly swallow]

does anyone know if you can make ladders that stay on the cliffs like the vines?

Would anyone know why nooklink in the nintendo switch app won't load? i've tried logging out, deleting the app, and reuploading my play data but nothing is working 😞

[shut flare]

I have three questions

1. For anyone who has switch 2, is there any real difference in the game or is it kinda a waste of money

2. My bf recently got a switch but his fam doesn’t have the money (nor want) to get the online, can we still play via internet if he’s at his house and I at mine or does he need the online acct still

3. Does anyone know if we can get villagers from the hotel to move into the town? There’s a cute villager in my town hotel today and I keep talking to them hoping it works like the campsite but I don’t think I’m getting anywhere, so is it even possible?

[novel iron]

To awnser question 2 you can play local mode if you next to each other or else he would need online
Question 3 no you can't adopt from the hotel

[zinc locust]

1. not any huge differences, the megaphone can be helpful but not necessary, and other than that the graphics are nicer

2. you still need nintendo online, but a family plan could be an option if you want to add him to it?

3. you cannot get villagers from the hotel to move in

[shut flare]

Thank you all! I do have a family plan, sadly my parents have all the accts taken already though (despite the ppl we added not playing 😒)

Do you know if it’s possible to like… buy an extra family slot or smthn?

[mossy palm]

I have five player houses, planning to add two more. I learned that, of course, to unlock HHP home abilities like sounds, polishing, and partitions/counters it needs to be unlocked by account.

It's 33 houses. I can't imagine having to do 198 houses. Am I overcomplicating this? Or do I have no choice? Of course this under the assumption I'd need to unlock everything but the players have houses of various sizes so it's not necessary. But the question remains — is there an easier way to go about this?

And will it just ruin my main player's Resort? Does it all happen under one archipelago or do each account get its own archipelago? If it's one archipelago can other players edit another's?

[mossy palm]

No, you can't purchase another slot. But also what's stopping you from asking that whoever isn't using it be taken off of the plan so you can be added instead?

[shut flare]

Okay thanks! There’s 6 of us in my household, another is my aunt, one is my grandma so all of us fill the plan. We’re waiting for my grandma to figure out what internet is 💀💀 and my mom loves my aunt a great deal so she would just get offended if I asked for my aunt to be removed because my grandma actually plays, just we haven’t visited to help her understand the internet part.

how do i do that reaction that sends a message to someone with nookbot abt a dm?

[copper venture]

Can I bring folks who come to my hotel to be my villiger?

[delicate spire]

No

[delicate spire]

You add as the reaction

[autumn crag]

Thanks

[mellow forge]

They're just a hand item but there's a fun animation where you let it go

[weak fable]

Guys one of my villagers just decided to move out without saying anything, but I stopped before the game autosaved, what do I do to stop this occurence

I just soft reset

[silk knot]

Which game? Because that's not something that occurs in acnh

[weak fable]

It just happened in acnh

[silk knot]

Do you have other people that play on your island?

[weak fable]

Judy just said "I'm deciding to move out"

No I don't, but I have other accounts

[silk knot]

Did she give you an option to say no?

[weak fable]

Nope, she just said she's leaving

[silk knot]

Which means someone else already agreed to let her move.

[weak fable]

No I literally play by myself, nobody else plays my switch

[silk knot]

That's not something that happens in acnh, they will not leave without getting permission. So you had to have given her permission

[weak fable]

I've been time travelling a lot if that helps

[silk knot]

Makes no difference

They still need explicit permission

[weak fable]

That's weird

I just soft reset to 4:00, so I think it works, I gotta see tho

[silk knot]

If they're gonna move out, and they didn't give you an option to say no, resetting won't change anything either.

Because you already agreed to let them leave

[weak fable]

I swear on my bed I didn't even see Judy have a thought bubble until just now

[silk knot]

did you speed through the convo? Sometimes I misclick, and agree without meaning to. But you do have to agree or they won't go.

[weak fable]

Look I'm gonna try to reenact what happened

I walk up to my house and see judy with a speech bubble

I talk to her and she says "You will be he first to hear my news!" Im moving out"

That's somewhat how it went

[silk knot]

I see. I assume you closed the game immediately?

[weak fable]

Yup

Before it autosaved

[silk knot]

The next dialogue option would've been "don't go" and "good luck" (or some variant of the two) that you would've been able to choose if you hit A for the next part of the convo. If you closed before that, you never reached that option, and she won't move out lol

[weak fable]

Oh my god

I panicked so hard

[silk knot]

Sorry for the confusion, I was under the impression that her saying she was moving out was the end of the convo, which was really confusing for me as well

[weak fable]

Nah it's ok

[mossy palm]

Bumping for this

[autumn musk]

Is there a channel in this server for villagers available in boxes?

[novel iron]

#villager-trade

[autumn musk]

Thanks!

I want to sub to a vip treasure islands but i’m not sure which channel in twitch is better… do you guys have any recommendations?

[swift scarab]

thank you!!!

[swift scarab]

alrighty! thank you!

[whole bane]

how do i dig up flowers on someone elses island?

[astral sedge]

I think you need to be best friends with whoever’s island you’re on to use your shovel and axe on their flowers/trees

[strong timber]

If all my villager spaces are full, can I only get a new villager by either using Amiibo, or waiting until one of them wants to move out? And how to I prompt them to do so? Do I not interact with them for a certain amount of time?

[unborn delta]

what is this item called?

[novel iron]

For villagers to ask to leave it's usually 15 days after the last one moved out they can ask to move, also the campsite will occasionally get visitors they can ask a villager to move out (random one if you don't use amiibo)

[novel iron]

Storefront

[unborn delta]

thank you! is it diy or item?

[novel iron]

It's an item

[unborn delta]

thanks so much :)

[novel iron]

No problem

[shut flare]

That’s a thing now??

[novel iron]

You've always needed to be best friends to dig in other players islands

[shut flare]

I never knew that, good to know!

[novel iron]

This question would be better suited for #acnh-chat⛱️ this is more a game mechanic questions channel

[swift oar]

Ahhh sorry sorry I didnt want to butt into all the conversations happening in there. Ill move the question

[mellow crag]

I’m obsessed with the Sanrio items. How do I get this amiibo thing? Walk me through this please 🙂 sorry in advance for my ignorance.

[chrome notch]

can someone help me? how do you use a custom path overlay?

[delicate spire]

Let me take a short video

Do you have terraforming yet

[chrome notch]

yes

i have everything but when i place the custom path over the regular cobblestone one it doesnt match to it properly

[upper aurora]

You need to let at least a single transparent pixel in your pattern to make it take the path's shape

[chrome notch]

oooo

thanks! let me try a different design

[upper aurora]

Patterns having no transparency at all will just render as a full square

[weak fable]

Does anyone have a caelocanth or cealocanth figure

[upper aurora]

Hi, you can try #furniture-trade for the figure, but note that you can't trade critters with other players

The game doesn't allow you to do so

(As the item you're looking for is quite rare/expensive, I would also advice you to rather look for offers on Nookazon)

[languid island]

Can you have villagers on dream islands

[quiet egret]

how do you get more ladder set up kits

Does anyone know where to get a Villagers photo? I need to get some

[hardy cobalt]

Is captain gulliver different from regular gulliver? i'm trying to dig for his communicators but I keep getting the clams

[sick fjord]

You can bring over villagers past and present on your slumber islands if that's what you mean. Take note that they'll disappear once you end the session.

[sick fjord]

.t friendship

[celest lynx]

• Yue's Friendship Guide 📖
• Yue's Gifting Guide 🎁
• Friendship Mechanics 🛠️
• NookPlaza's Villager Gift Finder 👗

[languid island]

Ok cool

[sick fjord]

Gulliver and Gullivarr are apparently different NPCs, which means the latter can't be counted in getting the gold shovel. To get Gullivarr's communicator, you have to go diving for it as he'll be available once you purchase a wet suit; he even hints you where he lost it. The communicator should be similar in bubble and shadow size to an acorn barnacle.

[hardy cobalt]

Thank you so much!

[spare spoke]

You buy the cards from places like Nintendo or Amazon. The sanrio collab is a special pack of cards, where you get all six of them. Once you get them you can scan them in the Nookstop to invite them to your campsite, or if you just want access to the items, you can scan them at Harvey's island

[mellow forge]

You dive for them...

[mossy palm]

For future people searching for answers: every account on the island gets their own private HHP archipelago and no, there's no faster way to get HHP abilities on each account outside of speed running 33 houses.

I guess I'll just do almost 200 empty houses then
I'll make it worth my time and amiibo in a bunch of special NPCs so I can get dupe photos at least.

Still never got an answer for these and honestly Google isn't helping. I guess I did find out the villager needs to invite you and you need high friendship. But I haven't found anything about if it can be triggered every time you're invited.

[delicate geyser]

what does ungifted villager mean? like they havent been given any gifts?

[stuck pagoda]

"Gifted" refers to an animal villager who has been given gifts from the player, thus they might not have their default housing interior anymore, & they may wear other clothing pieces that were given to them, including custom designs.

"Ungifted" refers to a villager who has NOT been given gifts from the player, so they will still have their default housing interior & outfits.

[winged cobalt]

I am having a peculiar issue. I am trying to make a rock garden. I have pathed out where I want the rocks to spawn, destroyed my rocks, and three have spawned in the right positions. The other three rocks are.... Not spawning at all? Or I can't find them at all on my entire island. I feel like I have looked everywhere and they are nowhere to be found? I've been tt day by day, week by week two months out into the future and I am just not getting the three lacking rocks. Is there something I might be missing?

[spare spoke]

Can you post a screenshot of your rock garden so far? Something may be in the way of them spawning

[spare spoke]

You have the bottom cliffs too close

[winged cobalt]

But the are equally close to the rocks on top. 🤔

But I'll try it.

[spare spoke]

I'm not good at explaining this, but things that are high / cast a shadow will block things from spawning behind them

.t rocks idk if this explains better

[celest lynx]

-# ⠀ ⠀

[winged cobalt]

Ah! OK ok, that does make sense

Thank you!

[spare spoke]

I hope this works! Otherwise just come back here so we can have another look

[untold mirage]

how do you get npc photos?

is using amiibo the only way?

[livid trail]

Yes

By doing a vacation home for them

[untold mirage]

ohhh i see thank you

[strong timber]

Thankyou very much!

[lost dirge]

Yeah!

[strong pumice]

Specifically, ungifted means they haven't received anything they can wear or place in their house, so they're still "mint condition." Gifts like fruit or seashells don't change them to gifted status

[lost dirge]

also fossils, i think?

[upper aurora]

They can't place the big skeletons parts, but they can place standalone ones like coprolite, trilobite...
And unassessed fossils are too cheap to be worth it gifting.

Gifting wrapped 2x fruits or 3x produces is considered the "carefree" way to increase points. Technically fossils are faster as they can be considered furnitures, but it requires a bit more brain gymnastic to filter them / complete with fruits or so for the rest of villagers as you can only get 4 per day.

[ashen lion]

I haven’t had an npc on my island for two days. Is that normal?

[winged cobalt]

It worked! Sorta. Still having issues with the last one. Maybe it's hiding somewhere on my island.

[spare spoke]

Progress at least!

[novel iron]

I would remove the bottom right cliff

[spare spoke]

Oops seems it send twice 🙈

[novel iron]

And remove the cliffs with the windflower on the right

[upper aurora]

Are you sure you didn't miss them? NPCs like Flick, C.J or Gulliver/arrr can easily be missed.

(Isabelle announces them though)

[ashen lion]

Yeah and I did the group stretch which will show you whose on your island

[novel iron]

Not all the time

Especially now with the hotel visitors also joining

[robust hound]

can someone help me with a switch 1 to switch 2 transfer? I thought for Animal Crossing NH you need the transfer tool to move islands like that but if I go on my switch 1 to system settings and then transfer it lists animal crossing too? because it says on my switch 1 "Save data that will be transferred and will not longer remain on this console:" and it lists ACNH

does that mean it transfers my island?

[clever wedge]

If you're doing the initial transfer from Switch 1 to Switch 2 you can include transferring your island without using the Island Transfer Tool!

[robust hound]

wait really? is this a new feature? because I looked at guides online first and they said you need the tool :o

[clever wedge]

It's not new, those guides are probably talking about either after the setup transfer or transferring between two Switch 1's

[robust hound]

why is this so scary to me LOL

[winged cobalt]

I think I need to accept that the last one is hiding somewhere on my island. But where? 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[tepid zenith]

Hey guys! Things got a bit boring and normally I just reset and restart a new island, but this time I got a bunch of stuff I like so I'm just looking to make a big makeover of my island, y'all got any tips (3rd party app/website to help design / ideas / or just general tips)!
Thanks a lot!

[drowsy blade]

@lethal pilot Would you be able to DM me? Since yours are off (It's related to Xiao Mains | Genshin Impact)

[winged cobalt]

@novel iron @spare spoke Thanks for all your help, I F I N A L L Y have a rock garden. The last one was hiding in plain sight, so after whacking it, it finally spawned where it was supposed to! 🥳😭🥳😭🥳😭🥳😭🥳

[spare spoke]

Woohoooo!

[rapid wharf]

Hi, I'd like to unlock the “Greedy Weeder” achievement, but the weeds on my island are part of the decor. Does it count if I buy weeds from other players and then sell them on my island? Or do I have to weed them myself AND sell them?

[coral jackal]

I think any weed will work, it's just about how many you sell

[upper aurora]

Technically it would have been quite hard to set up such conditions as weeds stack, the game doesn't track where you get weed from.
You can indeed buy them online, but also collect them from mystery islands / boat tours you visit. This is what I personally do.

[dense oar]

How do I get my fully grown bamboo tree to produce shoots? Trying to make a bamboo forest

[ancient burrow]

Do the kangaroo villager ever acknowledge the baby’s in there pouch?

[livid trail]

They produce bamboo shoots only once after they've fully grown

[tender spruce]

They do not (and that's a rather funny topic that got covered by some youtube videos lol)

(at best, their default catchphrase or house design/HHP request may be themed after motherhood, but that's all)

[dense oar]

So how do I expand my bamboo? Find shoots or get them from Daisy Mae?

[livid trail]

Correct

[dense oar]

No other way?

[livid trail]

Or get lucky to find bamboo Island or trading

Guys what's the fastest way to find a coelacanth

That's actually how you spell it, it found it out

[novel iron]

If it's raining fish bait or go in and out of the hotel and check the pier be aware the 2nd option can also spawn pier only fish

[mossy palm]

Fish while raining. Grab a bunch of bait, and stand on a south facing beach that's completely straight. You can throw the bait and fishing rod without having to move.

There's also rainy kapp'n islands if it's not raining on yours or you don't find someone advertising a raining island.

[mellow forge]

Is it possible your island rating decreases?

[weak fable]

Yes it is, I reset my last island cause of that

[clever wedge]

Yes, but you can always raise it back up by following Isabelle's instructions! Plus anything unlocked by reaching 3 stars stays unlocked

[coral jackal]

You get the golden axe recipe after you break 100 axes

[maiden panther]

ive gotten quite into animal crossing since i got it from a friend a year ago.. im up into the game where i was tasked with getting kk slider and i got the able sisters : P i wanna work through the evals in a way im pleased with like with a good island layout and i feel pretty rough on editing it... it feels so difficult and i wish there were some sort of island editor like how we can do the inside of our house hghghghrfghfg can i get some tips?

[untold mirage]

fill your island with flowers? and remove the weeds

[silk knot]

Best bet is to just place furniture everywhere, plant a bunch of flowers, and place as much fence as you can. Get 3 stars, ask resetti to clean up all the furniture and flowers when he shows up after 3 stars, and then focus on perfecting your island after you've unlocked everything at 3 stars.

[maiden panther]

well chucklenuts

alright ill try pushing through that lol

[stone girder]

I tried time traveling to get someone to move, by traveling a month, staying around 12 or 1 pm then traveling by a day anytime there’s nothing. Did this like thirty days and nothing happened, help

[novel iron]

How many villagers do you have currently

[stone girder]

Seven

[novel iron]

Ok then I suggest setting it back to the current date again, then start over by going a month ahead, then day by day

[white bison]

Do you have to worry about spacing with vegetables?

[ruby echo]

No you do not, you can plant them right next to each other and they will still grow. Just keep in mind if you want all three crops instead of just one to grow you need to water them three consecutive days in a row to get max crops

[stone girder]

Thank you

[spare spoke]

Random luck sadly. It sometimes helps to go in and out of buildings

[wispy mist]

Wait does that mean there are other options that doesn't do it individually?

[spare spoke]

My brain was thinking of in house floors, which do lay down in one go

[heavy jungle]

i'm struggling to find this information anywhere, maybe someone here will know... i know that on the beach at HHP there is a message bottle each day with a recipe, and I know that this is one of the only places to get the "glowing moss" stuff and the jungle stuff... but you can also get other recipes there, too. Is there anywhere I can find a list of what DIY recipes you -can't- get from bottles?

[plucky lance]

Here’s a list of what you can find in those bottles, so I assume that if it’s not on this list it’s not find-able on the HHP island?

https://catalogue.ac/?s=c3JjPWhocF9ib3R0bGU=&o=series

[heavy jungle]

nah that list is completely wrong. thats a list of items that can only be found via that type of island

[knotty thicket]

They said if it’s not there then it can’t be found there

[heavy jungle]

yea and that's not true

many times i have received other DIY recipes from bottles at HHP

i am looking for a list of DIYs that -cannot- be found in random bottles that wash up on HHP.

[knotty thicket]

Why would anyone make that list

[opal rock]

If I'm understanding your question correctly: The only DIY's you won't find in beach bottles are: zodiac items (Celeste), Mermaid items (Pascal), hedging (Leif) golden tools, some special and event items, and main story items (like the vaulting pole etc), and the HHP counter and pillar.

[heavy jungle]

perfect

thats what i was looking for @opal rock

[opal rock]

I might be missing some things or incorrect. If I am please someone correct me

[heavy jungle]

my partner has about 70 recipes left and wanted to know if she can stop checking HHP every day

[knotty thicket]

I get it now

[heavy jungle]

if there's a chance HHP or kapp'n tours can have her remaining recipes (however low the chance) then she'll keep checking

[crimson canyon]

Is there a certain time of day spider crabs come out specifically

I’m really bad at reading the charts in my critterpedia and I don’t understand them

It don’t understand the highlighted area with the red lines

Do you know if the spider crab is in season on your island??

[crimson canyon]

Yes

[finite ether]

okiii! the internet said that theyre available all day i believe

[finite ether]

i think the highlighted area is what time you can catch them from, im not entirely sure sorry

and i believe the red line illustrates the time it is currently on your island

Maybe they’re just super hard to get :( so difficult

[crimson canyon]

Is there a way to make stitches stop displaying a shirt in his room without buying the dlc

[novel iron]

I can only suggest gift him a dresser and he might store the shirt in it

[crimson canyon]

He already has one

[prime pawn]

How does cataloguing work? I thought even if you dont buy an item in your shop but interact with it/click it and deny purchase that it would add said item to your Nook Shopping list? Ive done this with most items in my shop for a while as might want them for later date and i cant seem to find them.. am i doing something wrong?

[ruby echo]

In order to catalog something you need to pick up the item and place it in your pockets to add it to your Nook Shopping list, interacting with an item doesn’t do that

That’s how players catalog items from each other, pick up an item and then drop it to add it to their Nook Shopping list

[ruby echo]

I believe you would have to gift him furniture items that he will display instead of the shirt. Gifting clothing to replace that shirt may not work since that clothing item is not in his rotation if he’s displaying it instead of wearing it. You might also be able to interact with the shirt and try to see if he offers to sell it to you. Best of luck to you

[delicate spire]

Are there any shoes that look anything like these?

[sly linden]

I just got my switch 2 after not using my original one for years and I have a new horizons playthrough I started on release.

Should I restart since I forget everything or should I just stick with my original save

[mental ibex]

I had a villager in boxes today and someone claimed him, so his door says move out. If I go to a mysterious island today will I find villagers, or do I need to wait until tomorrow when the house goes away?

[silk knot]

You need to wait until the house goes away.

[silk knot]

That's more of a question to ask advice about in #acnh-chat⛱️
This chat is more for game mechanics

[prime pawn]

Ooohhh... so how do u catalog things from your own shop that you dont buy, or is there no way to do this?

[upper aurora]

They seem close to black Ghillie Brogues https://catalogue.ac/i/c924-1

(At least, from what I see, as the image hasn't a very good quality sadly)

[ruby echo]

There’s not really a way to do that by yourself, but sometimes people ask in #cataloging if someone else can come buy an item from their shops and then let them catalog it. You could do something like that ^^

[silk knot]

Pleather ankle boots are also a close option

[upper aurora]

In addition to what Nikki recommended, also note that you could buy/keep items even if the variant they have aren't the one you wanted to catalog: recoloring them through Cyrus stand will catalog you those other variants as well.

[delicate spire]

Tysm!!

[delicate spire]

Tyyyyy

[cunning vortex]

Hi I just activated the beautiful ordinance on my island, mainly for them to water flowers so I was wondering if they remove a lot of weeds?

[silk knot]

Weeds don't get removed, but they stop growing, you stop getting trash in your water, and no roaches will spawn in your house

[cunning vortex]

Oh nice, thanks!

[sly linden]

Oh my question for help in the game isn’t meant for the questions and game help chat

Sure thing

[mossy palm]

I am, on what I believe, on my 7th gold turtle from Katrina
Is it really just luck of the draw? I don't even have half the zodiac and it's bad enough how lucky I am with her and maybe get 2/7 a week of bad luck

Not to mention the duplicate horseshoes and crystal balls

[shadow sorrel]

How do I claim Giveaway prize

[spare spoke]

You can DM the one hosting. It should be in the message when you click the link

[shadow sorrel]

Okay cool

[coral jackal]

I don't think you can get prizes from Katrina (unless it's another game from the series, I would be unaware)

[novel iron]

They are referring to when you get bad luck from Katrina and pay to have it removed she mails you a gift the next day

[coral jackal]

Oh, ok

[delicate spire]

Is iron fence customizable?

[scarlet jolt]

Yes. If you ever wonder if something is customizable, you can look up "acnh (item name)" on the internet. The first website should be Nookipedia, there it will show you pictures of all variants of the item if it is customizable

[mossy palm]

Well, certainly wasn't the response I expected

[mossy palm]

Since this has been annoying me enough I finally just tried find anything about this myself and the best I've found:

https://acnh.isomorphicbox.com/updates/2.0.0/#fortune

Otherwise Google seems to claim you have a 30% chance of bad luck but I cannot find any of the links it provided saying so.

As far as gifts, it looks it's only 20% chance to get a zodiac item, as per nookazon and another site. That's so severe . How y'all even collected these legitly? I guess I'm not aching too much but feels like I'd have to play every year at this rate

[coral jackal]

You can get zodiac item recipes from Celeste, and craft it

[mossy palm]

Ah, Chinese Zodiac Figurine, not astrological. Thankfully Nook Shopping posts that year's zodiac every lunar new year on top Katrina but I was hoping I'd have the entire team (legitly) for a display but I'll put a pause on that until it happens naturally I guess

[coral jackal]

Oh, that. I mean you can time travel (maybe, I haven't tried)

Or else you'll have to wait 12 years to get the full cycle

[dreamy juniper]

Sorry I’m new, if I wanna go somewhere to catalog stuff how do I find people to do that ? None of my friends play acnh

[coral jackal]

You can go to a bot-run treasure island

[opal rock]

There's tons of people who are willing in #cataloging !

[upper aurora]

Note that if you own the DLC and advance enough on it, you will be able ||to order almost anything to Wardell||. This in addition to treasure islands (and the game ages) is also a reason why people don't tend to catalog so much items online nowadays.

Also Cyrus allows you to catalog each variant of an item rather quickly, as any item you transform will then be cataloged

This is also useful

[lucid mirage]

Which one is most useful

[thin rain]

Hiii, I want to give Pompom a hat cus she just doesn’t look good w/o one, but I’m not getting the option to give her a gift.. she is my newest villager however, and she’s been on my island for about two-three days. Somebody help?🫠

[thin rain]

Pocket organization is to expand your pockets I believe. You can see in details. Bigger pockets is the most useful def! Maybe you could save up nook miles to get that one? You’re almost there!

[lucid mirage]

Ahhh, alright then! Tysm!

[strong pumice]

Just talk to her each day, it should appear in another day or two. At the lowest friendship level you can't give gifts

[thin rain]

I didn’t know that! Tysm ❤️

[gentle schooner]

u just need to wait and talk to her a little bit more :)))

[thin rain]

[gentle schooner]

[white bison]

For situations where someone is letting you catalog something or come over and visit a NPC, the people I have dealt with don’t want anything in return. I see some posts, for visiting Leif as an example, when some will say things like:

-Tips appreciated, or
-Bells or NMTs

In cases like these where people want tips but don’t give you an amount, how much do you typically give?

[strong pumice]

It can be kinda ambiguous, but if there isn't a required fee you can just give an amount that you can easily afford, or go off of what other people have left as tips. For one of the more common ones like Leif, I'd say just one nook ticket, or a moderate amount of bells (like 50k at most) if you're short on those.

[hoary hedge]

Im trying to do the move out method suggested to me earlier in this chat ive done 3 mo worth if time skips and it still has not landed on the villager i want to love out.

What doesnt make sense is that only villager i have high ffriendship with want to leave the villager im trying to does not

[silk knot]

Higher friendship increases interaction chances, and the move out bubble is one of those interactions. Thats pretty normal. It can take a while to get it to land on the one you want

[delicate spire]

There's absolutely zero ways to make Celeste permanently stay on the island isn't there 😔

[crimson canyon]

does 1 single villager go to bed the same time every single night or does it vary?

[untold mirage]

nope... i also like her 😭

[hoary hedge]

Okay but why do all the guides say villager with low friendship has higher chance of moving out

[silk knot]

Because that's how it worked in earlier games, when they'd just up and leave if you didn't talk to them as much. Now that they ask for permission, the mechanics are a bit different.

[hoary hedge]

So i have to build up friendships with villagers first?

The methods are outdated

[silk knot]

Not necessarily, friendship makes a very small difference

[upper aurora]

Schedules depend on their personality.

Most of the time they follow the said schedules, but sometimes a villager can spend the whole night outside.

There is also a random villager selected to craft at their workbench if you start a new day late at night/early at the morning, even if they are supposed to be asleep at this moment (but that's a complex mechanic to explain).

The night owl ordinance also shift from 1h the time they go to sleep, for all personalities, but the wake up schedules remain the same. And it is the opposite for the early bird ordinance.

Here are the default schedules:

[ruby echo]

The move-out guide that we use here is just a process that speeds up in-game mechanics. It’s entirely RNG based (randomized), so if you’re finding yourself time traveling for several IRL hours then that’s unfortunately not uncommon. That happens a lot. Only a few circumstances can make a villager not ask to move out, such as last to move in, if they have a birthday coming up, etc. Just keep trying and if the target villager has no reason to not want to move out, then you’ll get that bubble eventually. Good luck!

[hoary hedge]

I keep in mind all those factors i have Audie on my island and she has had a bubble 3 days in a row high friendship level but Lyman who in trying to get off doesnt get not a single bubble there supposed to have a higher chance

[ruby echo]

Is he the last to move to your island?

[hoary hedge]

No

[hoary hedge]

Like i mentioned im keeping in mind all these factors

[ruby echo]

It’s just bad luck then, there’s not much you can do but keep trying

[hoary hedge]

That makes no sense especially if his percentage is supposedly higher due to low friendship level

[ruby echo]

It’s randomized who will get the move-out bubble, so friendship levels don’t make much of a difference in that aspect unfortunately

[hoary hedge]

Im mainly frustrated because ive had chance to get Raymond for free

Twice

[ruby echo]

Ah yeah, I’ve had that happen to me in the past before as well. What you can try and do is “reset” the RNG by syncing your console back to real time and start the process over again. You can also get the moving kit of another high friendship villager so it’s less villagers in the move-out pool for the game to choose from ^^

[hoary hedge]

Lol i have a moving kit and im within a week of a villgers birthday and it still wokt spawn on him

I have 3 guarantees non move outs and it still wont spawn on him

[hoary hedge]

I truly believe you are trying to be helpful i just think based of the guides and my experience the Villagers im trying to kick out shouldve had a bubble. Im not shiny hunting

[hoary hedge]

I do not think the guides are accurate

[delicate spire]

Where would I post that I'm doing custom clothing commissions?

[novel iron]

Something that might help you is tell the next villager with a thought bubble to stay ,then restart the thought bubble process , at some point you might have told the villager you want to leave to stay which I read can make it so they don't get the bubble again until you tell another to stay

[hoary hedge]

I never did tho. Ive always wanted this villager to leave

[novel iron]

Ok then as everyone else has been saying it's just rng but can't hurt to try my suggestion

[opal rock]

The only reason I can think of why a bubble won't show is if you haven't spoken to the villager at least once. Have you talked to them yet?

[hoary hedge]

At first i wouldn’t talk to him i would only abuse him with my net.

Today ive only talked to him saved and time skipped multiple times

[delicate spire]

What are fossil spawn requirements space wise?

[silk knot]

I think they need a 9x9 square. This guide should help with all of the nuance

.t rocks

[celest lynx]

-# ⠀ ⠀

[delicate spire]

These are rocks not fossils/lh

[opal rock]

They only take up a 1x1 tile. They can appear directly next to things but won't appear behind cliffs and stuff like that where it won't be obvious.

[delicate spire]

Ty!

[silk knot]

Oof. My brain is offline, and I read that as rocks somehow. Sorry about that.

[delicate spire]

You're good!

Another question
Is there a way to transfer a profile to a new switch so I keep my progress but get a new island? I'm on my gfs switch and I'm the second resident

[silk knot]

I couldn't find a guide for fossils tho. I think you get 6 fossils a day, and they kinda spawn like weeds.

Yes!

[delicate spire]

It's 4 fossils a day I think

6 if you don't get them until the next day

[silk knot]

you can move your character to the new island and you'll keep all of the stuff in your storage, house, and pockets, all of your money, and all of your nook mile achievements.
So you'll wanna start a new island on the second switch, but when talking to Timmy and tommy select "I'm moving". Wait there.
On the second switch open the game on the profile you want to move, and on the logo menu, hit the minus button

Select "move to new island" and "move me off the island"

And follow the instructions Tom tells you on the first switch, and Timmy and tommy tell you on the second one

[delicate spire]

Tysm!! Saving this for when I get my own

[silk knot]

Np! There's probably a better guide, I'll try to find it for ya too :)

[delicate spire]

Does the house itself copy onto the new island?

Or do I have to pay a new loan

[silk knot]

Your house goes with you

I found the full guide too

[river tundra]

I got a question, does taking a break from playing the game makes the villagers leave?

[sick fjord]

They need your permission if you want them to leave, so taking a break wouldn't work

Unless you're playing older AC games

[river tundra]

I just wanted to take some break from the game lol

[hoary hedge]

Any more suggestions? In talking to him saving and time skipping. I reset my switch time and date it still will not give him a bubble

[hoary hedge]

Based off friend calculator he has a 18-20% chance of moving out when the others have 14%

[opal rock]

.t campkick // My only other thought: if you're time traveling and hit a day with a campsite villager, use them to get him out. Unless you want to spend forever rolling the dice for a specific camper, it's sometimes worth it to just take whoever shows up. If you go this route, you can use the info below to make sure the camper picks him

[celest lynx]

⛺ Camp-Kick Moveout Method ⛺

The infographic below shows how to move out a villager of your choice by convincing the villager staying at your campsite to kick them out and replace them. Check the Move-Out Handbook for more info! ⠀

[hoary hedge]

Problem is I have 9 villagers that i want hes the only one i want to leave.

The villager i want to replace him is waiting on me i just gotta get him to move

[opal rock]

Then the move out method will be your best bet. I know it's really frustrating and it's not rare to invest hours to doing that method unfortunately. But like the others mentioned above it sounds like really bad luck if like you've confirmed you've: talked to him once, he isn't the last to move in, and his birthday isn't within 7 days

[wet flint]

I need to get some clay for the bridge I’m building to get villagers on my island but o don’t have any clay

[celest lynx]

✨ Rock Materials: How to Get More ✨

• Visit mystery islands with Nook Miles Tickets. These islands always have rocks you can hit for materials.
• Trade with other players in #materials-and-tools if you have Nintendo Switch Online.
• Wait for the rocks to respawn (at 5am each day) & maximize your hits by using a shovel (it's slightly quicker than the axe). Dig holes behind where you would stand to stop your character from getting pushed away from the rock. ⠀

[mellow crag]

Where can I get moss?

[spare spoke]

Kapp'n islands or the HHP dlc

[mellow crag]

How come when I go to kapps island, it’s always a generic one? Am I doing something wrong ?

[spare spoke]

It's random where Kapp'n takes you... There's 4 different glowing moss islands, but you have an 18% chance to get taken to one. According to my app

[mellow crag]

Thank you 🙂

[upper aurora]

You basically have more chance to get a normal one. https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Boat_tour#Probability

normal island (78%) or a rare island (22%).
Some of rare ones also have specific conditions to be unlocked into the pool. You could check at the whole list from the link I shared (unless you don't want to be spoiled)

[mellow crag]

Ty! Definitely helpful

[latent narwhal]

Is there a channel in which we post if a villager is crafting or cooking sth? So that players can visit?

[ruby echo]

You can use #diy-trade if a villager is crafting a DIY item or #food-and-recipe-trade if it’s a cooking recipe!

[latent narwhal]

Thanks! 🙂

[mystic turret]

is it possible to bring happy home residents to live on your island?

[tender spruce]

No, it's not possible

[unborn delta]

hey guys sorry i mightve asked this but i forgot. peanut asked to move out last Wednesday (15/04) and I haven't opened the game since, so I know the next time I open it she will be in boxes (18/04. so, when I come back again next week (30/04), will my plot be empty or will it be autofilled?

[ruby echo]

It depends if you’ve ever visited another players island before. If you ever have, then you most likely have villagers waiting in your move-in queue that will autofill the plot the following day after the plot is empty (5:00am is when a new in-game day starts). If you have never visited another players island before, there is a 20% chance the plot will autofill each day, so it may or may not be

[lilac ridge]

this might be a stupid question or already answered but im new to the game and if i want one of my villagers to move out and like the bubble is on a different one, if i wait a day will the bubble move to someone else? can someone explain that to me please 😭

[silver knoll]

im not too sure on it but im sure if you ignore it it will eventually move to another villager, as far as I know. I’m not too sure about how long it takes though, sorry🥹

[mellow crag]

How many fruit trees do you need to increase island rating?

[celest lynx]

✨ Island Rating ✨

• You will unlock K.K. Slider's concerts and the Island Designer app (terraforming) once you achieve your first 3-star rating.
• You will obtain the Golden Watering Can DIY once you achieve your first 5-star rating.
• Lilies-of-the-valley can randomly spawn as long as your island keeps a 5-star rating.

✨ How to Get a Higher Rating ✨

Fill your island with plants and/or furniture, according to what Isabelle suggests. If she says to add flowers, do that (and wait for them to be fully bloomed to get the max points); same thing if she hints at adding furniture.

You can get a rough estimate of your island rating using Nookplaza's Island Rating Tool.

How much as a visitor can you do at another player's hotel? Can you purchase from their souvenir shop? Can you view their rooms?

You won’t be able to view their rooms, but you can buy the items on the display table. You can also dress up using the outfits on their mannequins.

Ah, cool. Darn though. I was hoping if I could host a special NPC birthday by amiiboing them into VIP. Oh well.

Question, when ussing a net and you keep missing or hitting someone with the net. does it count as a use?

Nope, only successful catches will deplete the durability of the net!

Today is the second time where I've logged in after a night of shooting stars and none are on my beach. I sat for at least a total of 20 minutes and hit A for every one I saw, my character did the proper animation, I saved.... But nothing. Any ideas why?

[scarlet jolt]

Is it possible to build snowmen on someone else

else's island?

[strong pumice]

They appear gradually, not all at once, and if there are a lot of shells on the beach you might need to pick those up first

It also needs to be the next day after wishing, not 2+ days later

[wanton heron]

Yeah it is the next day. I'll clean up the beach and come back in an hour or so, thanks;

[late cobalt]

if you're trying to get star fragments you have to get them before 12pm/noon and the very next day after you wish on shooting stars !

I've been collecting every piece of clothing and having all variants in my storage now that we're able to do 9k, but I don't even know if that's feasible?

I keep finding all sorts of results for the complete number of clothing in the game. 1527 seems to be the number of unique, obtainable pieces, but that doesn't help with variants. How many pieces of clothing (including variants) are there in the game? Cuz that will decide if I even continue this.

[ocean bay]

Anybody wann play with me?

[spare spoke]

Try #island-hangouts🛩️🏝️

[spare spoke]

I'm not sure how accurate it is, but this is what the planner app says. I checked and the number does go up if I add variants to my collection

[mossy palm]

That seems right. Dang that's more than half. Hmm...thanks!

[upper aurora]

That should be it, Nookipedia lists 5423 different clothes, but I guess your app's wardrobe may also include umbrella or things like this.

Once i buy the turnips what am I supposed to do? Who am I meant to sell them to and when? Please

[strong pumice]

.t turnips to Nook's Cranny during the rest of the week, the sale price goes up and down in complicated ways

[celest lynx]

✨ Turnips ✨

• How do I get them? — Turnips are sold by Daisy Mae on Sundays (5am to 12pm) after unlocking Nook’s Cranny.

• What do I do with them? — Buy them from Daisy Mae on Sunday, then sell them at Nook's Cranny sometime during the week before the next Sunday.

• Why? — Your goal is to make a profit. That means you want to buy at a low price & sell at a higher price.

• What's a "low" price? — Daisy Mae's prices range from 90 to 110 bells per turnip, so a price in the 90s is on the lower side.

• What's a "high" price? — Timmy & Tommy will buy at prices ranging from 9 to 660 bells per turnip. Yes, this means you can LOSE money. Anything 350+ is pretty high, but you can still profit with lower numbers as long as it's higher than what you paid.

• How many should I buy? — As many as you want (limited by how many you can afford & carry), but I recommend buying just a few at first if you don't fully understand how it works yet.

• Where do I put them? — Turnips CANNOT be stored in your home inventory. You can put them on the floor in your house, on the ground outside, or bury them. You can stack them into "bundles" to save space.

• How do I know when the sell price will be high? — You don't! That's the gamble of the stalk market! There are 2 different sell prices at Nook's Cranny each day; it changes at 12pm (noon). You can predict your future prices using fanmade tools such as Turnip Prophet or AC-Turnip.

• Can I time travel back to a better price? — NO!! ALL turnips will SPOIL if you travel back even 1 second. Prices WILL change if you go backwards. You can go forwards, but DON'T go past 5am on Sunday, or they'll rot.

• What if I have NO good prices? — You can see if anyone has a higher price in #daisy-nookling-ads, then use online play to travel to their island to sell!

[safe jay]

Thank you very much ❤️

[upper aurora]

Some people here related this kind of issue.
Usually restarting the game is enough to fix rendering glitches.
If it persists, you could try to archive the game and reinstall it completely. It won't delete your data, but it would force the game to re-download all assets.

[sick fjord]

Tbf I play on a Switch Lite, so it's more prone to lags like that

[winter nimbus]

does anyone have any fast money-making tips? I reset my game after being away for quite a few years. I've never played the stalk market in past animal crossing games and I want to give it a try, but it also seems really scary ;w;

I also have a TINY amontof bells, so it's hard to even get started making any reliable profit from them right now in the firs tplace ;;)/

[spare spoke]

.t bells here's some tips!

[celest lynx]

Some Ways to Make Bells

• Dive & catch sea creatures to sell back to Nook's Cranny.
• Grow things (fruits, flowers, pumpkins, etc.) to sell at Nook's Cranny.
• If you have NSO (Nintendo Switch Online), trade with other players in this server to sell your services or goods.
• Play the stalk market – buy turnips at a low price & sell them high!
  -# (See .t turnips to learn how!)

-# ✨ GUARANTEED Profits With Turnips!! ✨
-# If you have NSO & are ok with time-traveling, here's a guaranteed way to make BIG profits with turnips:
-# 1. Wait until someone announces that they have HIGH turnip prices in https://discord.com/channels/494376688256548865/693843024186179635.
-# 2. Message them & politely ask if you may sell your turnips on their island.
-# 3. If yes, time travel to Sunday & buy turnips from Daisy Mae on your island.
-# 4. Bring those turnips to sell on their island.
-# 5. If they're ok with you making multiple trips, you can go back to your island & buy more turnips to sell! Repeat & profit!!

[winter nimbus]

are the diving creatures really that valuable? ;o;

[spare spoke]

Some rare ones go for 10-15k

[winter nimbus]

wowwie ;;
Is it really time-of-uyear specific? Or day/night?

I actually don't remember ever diving for fish before ;;

Do you only need a suit?

[spare spoke]

Yes a diving suit is enough. Some creatures are indeed season/time bound

Wrong channel

[silent matrix]

Hi so I’ve been having problems with animal crossing and trying to go on other peoples island. My WiFi NAT is like too strict and I don’t know how to fix it.

[spare spoke]

.t nattypes the link below may provide the info you need

[celest lynx]

🌐 NAT Types 📡

• Depending on your NAT type (Network Address Translation), you may find it hard to connect to other players via online play.
• Typically, those with NAT types A (which can connect to all types above F) and B are the best connections to have and can therefore connect to most players.
• If you have NAT type C or below, you may have trouble connecting and need to adjust your WiFi router.
• You can check your NAT type by going to System > Internet > Test Connection.
• For more information on NAT types, click here.

[silent matrix]

The thing is my NAT type is good. It’s because of the type of internet I have and it’s too strict where it blocks from me going to other peoples islands

[silk knot]

Are you on T-Mobile?

[spare spoke]

Then it may be best to contact your ISP for more help. Maybe they can change something?

[silent matrix]

Yes

[spare spoke]

I hope you're not with T-mobile

Oof

[silk knot]

You'll need to contact your provider and tell them you are having trouble with peer-to-peer communication and ask if they'll unrestrict that for you

[silent matrix]

But I think my dad got like a router that has vpn so it should work but it still doesn’t

[spare spoke]

T-mobile is notorious for this

[silent matrix]

I’ll ask my dad to do that cuz I know nothing about like internet and stuff

[silent matrix]

Yeah and it pisses me off whenever I get online and it never works

[spare spoke]

I bet! I hope they can fix it for you

[silent matrix]

Like bro I just wanna sell stuff on nookazon 😢

[silk knot]

That would be the best bet! TMobile specifically hates peer-to-peer for some reason, and unfortunately that's the most necessary thing to play animal crossing online

[silent matrix]

Yeah but idk if the other router is t mobile and it uses vpn so idk if it changes anything

[silk knot]

If it's on a different network and still has the same issues, it might also be blocking peer-to-peer. Even with a VPN I think you have to configure it a specific way

[silent matrix]

UGHH WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULTTTT.

Thank you though for helping me I’ll try to give you a update later
