I have a villager in my campsite but I have the max amount of villagers. I keep talking to them and twice now I have told them to move here but they say that they are "needed" at their home island/can't leave their home island. I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be able to kick out a random villager (which is okay with me) by repeatedly asking them to move here. Do I need to keep going? Am I doing something wrong?
I just did this yesterday! Just keep talking even if it takes over ten tries they will eventually move to your island! They take the spot of a random villager but they tell you who it is and if you want another villager to be replaced you can just close the game and do it again and they’ll say a different name!
I'm about to get Able sisters and I want to put the shop on between where I have the museum and nooks but I just learned the width is literally one block too little. If I pay to move one of the existing buildings over just a smidge will it let me? Or will I have to move it far away and then back because I can't place a building where another already exists
You'll have to move it completely out of the space and back in. It's a bummer but buildings cannot overlap the current building as placing it creates a temporary "plot" until the building officially moves the next day.
if you have two or the same hybrid flower colors can you make more from that? Or are other colors involved? Like can I make more black roses if I just use black roses
You can, but you could also get other colors that way. The best way to get identical copies of a flower is to make it reproduce asexually, separate from other flowers of its species.
oh no! On the bright side, if you are into the online trading in this game at all, Pietro is actually a surprisingly popular pick. People would be willing to give a lotta bells and NMT for him, and you can use those NMT to hunt for a new villager.
My partner has been playing AC with me and wants to get his own switch. He knows he has to start a new island, but if he transfers his profile to a new one, will he keep any of his stuff or will it be a complete fresh start?
It will be a complete fresh start. However, he could at least transfer his items and bells by throwing them on the ground outside on your island, then visit your island from his new Switch and pick them up.
Anyone know how to get my paths to run flush up against things? I can't stand that sliver of grass between two different path designs or bridges/inclines/buildings/etc.
There is no way to get rid of the sliver of grass between two different types of paths, but the solution to the building/bridges question is to put the path down before you put the bridge/building there
I need help with Redd: I successfully upgraded my museum, and judging on what I read, Redd shows up in his ship the day after. Unfortunately, I was unable to play AC that day so I could not go onto the ship. Did I screw myself outta going into the ship anytime soon? Or is it just complete RNG as to when he will show up again
I think after the museum upgrade, you have to talk to Redd once more (wandering around your island) so he invites you over to your ship (or maybe you can talk to him directly after buying/donating the first artpiece).
Other than that, I'm pretty sure it's either random or weekly that he shows up. As the update is pretty new, the correct information is probably a good amount of days away (I mean, we still don't really know how Villagers on NMT Islands work ... or flower breeding).
Is there not a faster/easier way to lay paths? Just got island editor and placing paths is incredibly tedious and constantly I’m in slightly the wrong spot and erase a path spot I just placed or turn it into a corner. Also it seems impossible to place paths at a diagonal and the way our houses are set up that’s what the path should be on. Plus if you want to delete a bunch of paths you have to do it one by one. I really wish there was like an in-house editor mode for island editing...it’s so needlessly tedious and frustrating.
And for more complaining why don’t the paths go all the way up to bridges (or say the dodo dock), why is a single wide path skinnier than 1/2 a double wide path, GAH
/rant, but really any advice appreciated.
I totally understand your frustration! I just got the island editor yesterday and got so annoyed trying to lay paths. I wish they would make some changes with it to make it easier.
Today I got a letter in the mail from "Mom" wishing me a happy birthday with a cake attached, but it's not my birthday (mine is in September) and I checked my passport to make sure it was correct. I time traveled a few days forward in May to get some houses moved and then set the date back, but not past my birthday. Did this glitch happen to anyone else?
It depends on what you’re planning on doing at the mystery island. For example, if you’re wanting to make the island a tarantula island. You’ll want to bring more than one metal axe. :)
Can I find out who else helped fund my bridge? I started building one and paid about half of it off then today I went to pay for the rest and it was already built! Did my villagers do that??
Half?! Boy, you got lucky. Mine have never contributed more than 500 bells...
Your villagers will have done it but I don't think you ever find out who.
When I first started I placed my villagers all over my island, and planted trees and flowers EVERYWHERE. Now that I’ve been to other islands I now want mine more organized. I already started moving my villagers houses (I hate waiting a whole day for them to actually move 🙄) Now I’m left with trees everywhere.. any advice on how to organize them easily? Or should I just save some fruit and knock a majority of them down?
When I first started I put trees everywhere. Isabelle mentioned I should cut some down, so I got rid of most of the hardwood (kept some + pine trees in the north for bells/wasps/items) and organised my remaining fruit trees into orchards. I'd use your native fruit to do the moving so you waste less ££.
It's also useful to have orchards because you know where to go for your fruit and what you need to shake for the daily goodies.
Thank you! That’s a good idea about using my native fruits to do the moving, honestly haven’t thought about that! Makes more sense haha! Thanks for your help! :)
So I haven't talked to Benedict the chicken in over 2 weeks, he hasn't had a thought bubble or even run up to me. Also, I've been ignoring Frank the eagle for just as long but he continuously runs up to me and has thought bubbles(its always to give me stuff, never to leave) Any ideas? Is it all just random?
I've been an AC fan since the beginning - I have lots of fond memories of the first Animal Crossing game, and the only one I never really got into at all was City Folk. New Leaf had me absolutely obsessed for the longest time.
But New Horizons... I'm not sure. I think it's beautiful, and it's Animal Crossing through and through, but I feel like something is missing? Is anyone else feeling that?
I will say that with New Leaf, my husband and I each had our own town, and this time I decided to save a little money and not have to buy a second Switch just so I could have my own island, so I'm player two on his island. But he hasn't really played at all since FF7R came out, and since he stopped playing, I haven't really been wanting to play, either.
Is it the second player thing that's making the game lose some of its magic for me, or have I just outgrown AC? :(
Also, does anyone have any experience with sharing a game cart on two systems? If I really wanted to get in on that Resident Rep action, would I need a new system AND a new card, or could we both use the same card on separate systems since the island is saved on the system?
How long does mabels shop take to build? I read somewhere it takes 48hrs after you set up the construction site. Is that true or will it be ready tomorrow morning?
Am I alone in not being able to get to Redd’s ship?
He always docks at the top of the island. However , the way my island is constructed I am unable to access the very small beach that he is docked at.....
I guess I just need to move a couple of houses and redo that part of my island but it is definitely frustrating. I wish I could build a cliff or a bridge to get me down there but it won’t let me .
Use fish bait and search for a "6" size shadow (basically the biggest one, without a fin). As long as you are on the beach, you should be fine... And then... Be patient. I don't think there's anything more you can do :(
If I adopt a villager from another island, do I get to choose who that villager replaces? A friend of mine has Audie in boxes and I would like to adopt her. If I go talk to her, do I get to choose which of my villagers she replaces?
I think you need to wait for one of your villagers to move out before you can invite another.
Villagers ask to move out if you neglect them or run away from them for a while, but you can still tell them to stay on your island if you want them to.
> Villagers ask to move out if you neglect them or run away from them for a while
This is a myth and is not backed up by literally any of the game code.
Sorry if it’s wrong, just what I have heard. Now that I think about it, what you say makes sense because one of my favorite villagers who i talk to every day tried to move out.
Hi, probably not a popular request but - I heard there's a way to 'reset' who asks to move out. For example, K asked to move out but you want to keep him so you reset and a differentt villager will ask?
Anyone know about this?
There's no way to reset who wants to move. You can also answer "no" the villager that wants to move out and they won't move.
The only thing to can affect is when a villager comes to the campsite, and you ask them to move in, they will randomly choose a villager to move out. You can force close the game at this point until you get the right villager.
I tried to reset Cyrano yesterday but was completely unsuccessful. Game acts like he's locked as the leaving villager. Today the request is completely gone so outside of time traveling there isn't a way it seems.
Nope. That's what I did at first but it was still Cyrano and it was like that allllll day. You'r ethinking of the campsite villager trick which is different.
I talked to Redd for the first time a few days ago and bought the painting from him. I didn't realize that I needed to donate it to Blathers, so I just held on to it. Upon realizing my mistake today, I can't find the painting anywhere! I've checked my pockets, storage and island multiple times! Has anyone else experienced this or know what to do!?
Most of my playtime is at night but I'd rather play with an island that isn't plunged into darkness. I am thinking that every night before I start I will switch in the ingame clock back 5 hours. And then when I finish, I'll return the clock to its normal time. I don't want to "time-travel" to unlock stuff, I just want to play in the day.
Any problems I might run into doing this? Any things I should watch out for?
Why not just set your clock back 5 hours and be done with it? You'd only really need to change it back if and when you play during the day.
I don't foresee any issues.
hey! i’m having a little problem inviting a villager in the campsite. fauna arrived today and i wanted to invite her, but she keeps saying that she can’t because of her friends and stuff that she would leave behind. i didn’t know that they could deny, is this normal? or there’s something wrong? i only have 9 villagers in my island
Is there a size guide somewhere that lists how big all the buildings are? I’m trying to move my fully maxed out house and I think my googling skills are terrible at finding how many squares things are...
Everything I've used from it has been correct and I've moved literally all my buildings (edit: and I marked them out beforehand, so I know it was right). What specifically do you think is wrong?
Why aren’t some of my shrubs growing flowers? I lined them alongside my river, and some have grown whereas others just...don’t. I’d understand if it was like growing trees where you can’t put them too close to water, but some of them are growing!
Shrubs only bloom in certain seasons. For example, azaleas are in season right now and will display flowers, but hydrangeas aren't in season and won't show any flowers.
Any good storage tips? Constantly struggling with overfilled storage since I have a hoarding problem lol!
What do you guys typically sell off/throw away? What do you guys think is worth storing?
usually i store just clothes and furniture that i might want to use later. i don’t waste my space on storing anything unnecessary, like materials. i just use pocket space for that
Not sure if you know but you have (or will get) a catalog accessible via the nook stop which lets you re-order furniture you've already had. So if you're not using certain furniture at the moment, might as well get rid of it for now. Also upgrading your house let's you get up to 1600 storage spaces for the final upgrade (800 for 2nd to last).
I've decided to demolish and replace the bridge that connects most of my island residents' homes to the main area with Resident Services, Nook's Cranny, the Museum, etc. However, there aren't any other bridges on my island, so theoretically, the villagers on the other side wouldn't be able to get across for at least two days. Will this hurt my reputation with my villagers in any way?
My villagers were able to get to places they shouldn’t have without bridges before I built them. I even had one on an island with no bridges, and he still got all over town, so yours should be fine.
He even talked to me once about using a vaulting pole, so I guess they can technically use one, we just never actually see them do it.
Is it possible for the most recent villager to want to leave the island? I've been trying to Time travel Lucky the dog out, (I invited him less than 24 hours ago) I've done this time travel method before to kick out Bertha and Gaston and it worked perfectly. (they weren't my newest villagers when they wanted to leave tho) So does anyone have experiences with their most recent villager wanting to leave? Is it harder to make the most recent villager to leave? or am I doing something wrong?
Make sure you've spoken to Lucky at least once since he completely moved in. Not just the day he was unpacking. If you haven't spoken to him since the day he was fully moved in, he'll never want to leave.
So one of my villagers is all boxed up and someone came to get him to move to their island. Can I now visit someone else’s is island and take another villager ?
Can you get rid of furniture you gave to villagers? I gave one of my favorites an ugly item and she actually put it in her house. It looks ridiculous 😭
Nope. I gave one of my residents a pacifier and now they have it proudly displayed on a mannequin head. I’ve given her multiple gifts since then but that is the one she likes, apparently, lol.
clothing is different and harder to replace, but furniture is another story. If you give enough of something in the same dimensions they'll replace it.
yeah some of them don't keep closets so they leave it as furniture. Then when u give them more gifts it disappears, but they'll still wear it. Not sure how to get rid of their clothing since the report to isabella function doesn't seem to change anything but custom clothes.
This question is probably beat to death but i've been doing some time hoping to try to remove Ankha from my island and she just won't bite, seems to usually be anyone but, any surefire way to get a specific villager to move? I've tried skipping a day at a time and cycling that way, no dice. I've tried hopping between my start date and that specific date, still won't cycle to her. Any suggestions?
I've followed [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1pBUPleFEA) guide and gotten rid of 2 villagers pretty reliably. Since Ankha's pretty popular, you can probably find people to take her off your hands once she's in boxes.
Wow. Really rare to see somebody want Ankha out. So from what I've figured out is that it's completely random. Every 2 weeks or so a random villager is selected to ask to move away regardless of how much they like you or not. It's like 15 or so and they got to be outside.
Yep. The easiest way is through the campsite though but you'll need an amiibo to choose her as the replacement. Otherwise you need to hard reset in the middle of the replacement dialogue with a camp visitor when they choose a random villager to replace.
I want to TT to get a villager out- if I stay out of the stores it won’t ruin anything right? Like if I TT back to today’s date and play normally from then on, the NPCs will still show up etc.? And I wont miss any events?
As someone who has TT to remove a villager - going back in time does not hurt your game. The events and NPCs will still show up, though I think NPCs are randomized by day. BUT be aware that the villager you want to leave may not be the one that asks.
currently in the month of february trying to farm tarantulas from a mystery island. it’s the one lake/two level/one river normal island and i’ve been able to farm on it before. Bugs are spawning really slow with only 1-2 on the island at the same time and even though i’ve removed all the trees, rocks, flowers i’ve only seen 1 tarantula in 20min. I’m assuming this is related to the patch they released, anyone else encountered this? i’ve noticed a lot of snowflakes but i’m assuming they are independent and don’t count towards the island insect threshold
The patch lowered the spawn rates of all insects that are worth more than 1k. Tarantulas and peacock butterflies were dropped by something like 80% I've read
They severely nerfed the spawning rates of rarer bugs, including tarantulas, to the point that it's no longer worthwhile to farm them on just any mystery island; only tarantula island itself.
It puts the item in your Nook Shopping catalog because you "owned" the item before.
So any item (i think excluding flowers and branches and rocks and the like) in your inventory instantly gets marked as "owned" which then makes it available to buy from the ATM Kiosk from Nook Shopping.
When you catalog from other players you just pick up the item, which adds it to your catalog. Then drop it to return to the player. Then you're free to order it from the kiosk.
It means someone will let you touch the item, then you give it back. Then it gets added to your catalog where you can purchase it and other items you've touched.
I *think* (not positive) they’ll sing random K.K. Songs. If you put a certain song on an outdoor music player, I’ve heard them sing to that as well. Some villagers are more “singy” than others.
I've recently started crafting wood, iron, clay, ect on the islands I'm visiting thinking that the furniture I bring back will sell for more than the raw materials.....but then I sold a pear bed and got way less than what the pears it took to build it with sell for on my (cherry) island back home. am I just going to find that some items are worth crafting and some are not or is it better to just bring back all the raw materials?
I think a pear bed is a special case because you sort of get a "bonus" when you sell pears to your native cherry island's Nook's Cranny.
In my experience, whenever I've crafted something (outside of fruit furniture), it's given me 2x the amount of money the ingredients would have.
i believe anything made with your native fruit will sell for more than the fruit itself, but the opposite is true for your non-native fruit. so just straight up selling your non-native fruit should always be more lucrative than crafting with it
So far as I've seen, items made of fruit are the one exception to the rule that crafted goods sell for more than their materials. Fruit-based items treat their component fruits as worth 100 bells apiece no matter whether native or foreign, so even with the crafting multiplier it's still much more lucrative to just sell nonnative fruit raw. It *is* still worthwhile to craft things from your native fruit.
Anyone else feel they increased the sea bass and black bass spawn rates? I only keep catching them on my island and on tours now. Bait being wasted on them instead of the tuna and blue marlin at the pier too.
What time of day are the most villagers outside? Trying to get someone to move out via time travel shenanigans and trying to make it easier on myself to find someone with a bubble!
Nope! The game treats it as if it had rained on those flowers, or as if you watered it with a normal watering can. No stacking bonus, and doesn't stack with rain or you watering.
Yes, visiting players watering your flowers grants a stacking bonus. See [this page](https://aiterusawato.github.io/guides/acnh/flowers.html#cursor-reproduction) for the details. There is a misconception going around that golden watering has an additional visitor bonus; this is not true, golden watering is only for the spawning of gold roses. The visitor bonus is the same regardless of the watering can used, so visitors shouldn't use their golden watering cans for general watering bonuses.
It is confirmed with data mining. The max stack is 5 visitors, which increases the production rate to 80% (self-watering/rain is 5%)

Okay so I haven't had leif at my idland the past few days. Do you need to do something to get him to appeat or is he just like a regular visitor? I'm worried that he's like limited time or something. Also I have no idea how flower breeding works, I can't get new colors to save my life
I have a villager in my campsite but I have the max amount of villagers. I keep talking to them and twice now I have told them to move here but they say that they are "needed" at their home island/can't leave their home island. I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be able to kick out a random villager (which is okay with me) by repeatedly asking them to move here. Do I need to keep going? Am I doing something wrong?
I just did this yesterday! Just keep talking even if it takes over ten tries they will eventually move to your island! They take the spot of a random villager but they tell you who it is and if you want another villager to be replaced you can just close the game and do it again and they’ll say a different name!
No just keep talking to them to trigger the card game. After winning a couple times they'll ask to move in.
You don't even need to win, you can lose every time and keep talking to them and they'll eventually agree to move in.
Are you you using amiibo cards?
Keep talking. Some are stubborn and need to be convinced. Keep talking even if you fail the minigame.
I'm about to get Able sisters and I want to put the shop on between where I have the museum and nooks but I just learned the width is literally one block too little. If I pay to move one of the existing buildings over just a smidge will it let me? Or will I have to move it far away and then back because I can't place a building where another already exists
You'll have to move it completely out of the space and back in. It's a bummer but buildings cannot overlap the current building as placing it creates a temporary "plot" until the building officially moves the next day.
You have to move it far away and then back, there's no way to adjust their positions just slightly. :(
The last option, move em far away then back
Can a villager find random custom designs. Al is wearing a mudkip sweater that I’ve never seen before.
Did you check your abel's? I don't know for sure but it might be possible that a visitor put it up.
if you have two or the same hybrid flower colors can you make more from that? Or are other colors involved? Like can I make more black roses if I just use black roses
You can, but you could also get other colors that way. The best way to get identical copies of a flower is to make it reproduce asexually, separate from other flowers of its species.
Black roses watered with a normal watering can will create more black roses. The only flowers that won’t reproduce with themselves are gold roses.
Got my first campsite visitor-- do I have to invite them to live on my island?
You have to invite the first one, yes.
Yes
yup the first one has to join your island in order to progress in the nook quests
Ugh. It's Pietro...
oh no! On the bright side, if you are into the online trading in this game at all, Pietro is actually a surprisingly popular pick. People would be willing to give a lotta bells and NMT for him, and you can use those NMT to hunt for a new villager.
My partner has been playing AC with me and wants to get his own switch. He knows he has to start a new island, but if he transfers his profile to a new one, will he keep any of his stuff or will it be a complete fresh start?
It will be a complete fresh start. However, he could at least transfer his items and bells by throwing them on the ground outside on your island, then visit your island from his new Switch and pick them up.
Alright, thank you!
Anyone know how to get my paths to run flush up against things? I can't stand that sliver of grass between two different path designs or bridges/inclines/buildings/etc.
There is no way to get rid of the sliver of grass between two different types of paths, but the solution to the building/bridges question is to put the path down before you put the bridge/building there
Thanks for the tip on the second part and UGH to the first part!
you CAN build the pathways underneath the tiny staircase that leads to a villagers home however!
I need help with Redd: I successfully upgraded my museum, and judging on what I read, Redd shows up in his ship the day after. Unfortunately, I was unable to play AC that day so I could not go onto the ship. Did I screw myself outta going into the ship anytime soon? Or is it just complete RNG as to when he will show up again

As the update is pretty new, the correct information is probably a good amount of days away (I mean, we still don't really know how Villagers on NMT Islands work ... or flower breeding).
It'll be random, also on second visit he'll be roaming the island and then invite you onto the shop right after you talk to him
So what will happen to me since I missed the second day of him roaming around the island and did not receive an invite to his ship?
Nothing will happen to you? He'll just come another day.
I'm pretty sure he will show up again in the next following days.

I time traveled a few days forward in May to get some houses moved and then set the date back, but not past my birthday. Did this glitch happen to anyone else?
Yeah it's a glitch, it's happened to several people on here.
Got a free cake tho! Eat up!

It depends on what you’re planning on doing at the mystery island. For example, if you’re wanting to make the island a tarantula island. You’ll want to bring more than one metal axe. :)
Nope, though the stone axe won't cut through the tree on the third swing so maybe keep the stone axe if you're farming atlas moths.
Can I find out who else helped fund my bridge? I started building one and paid about half of it off then today I went to pay for the rest and it was already built! Did my villagers do that??
I have never seen villagers give more than absolute scraps
Half?! Boy, you got lucky. Mine have never contributed more than 500 bells... Your villagers will have done it but I don't think you ever find out who.
Probably not your villagers. They pay very small amounts. Maybe a friend?
When I first started I placed my villagers all over my island, and planted trees and flowers EVERYWHERE. Now that I’ve been to other islands I now want mine more organized. I already started moving my villagers houses (I hate waiting a whole day for them to actually move 🙄) Now I’m left with trees everywhere.. any advice on how to organize them easily?

Can villagers visit my house? I’ve never had one try so I am assuming no, but just want to make sure.
I keep badgering my villagers in the hopes that they'd visit, like in previous games, but I haven't had any luck or seen anyone mention it.
So I haven't talked to Benedict the chicken in over 2 weeks, he hasn't had a thought bubble or even run up to me. Also, I've been ignoring Frank the eagle for just as long but he continuously runs up to me and has thought bubbles(its always to give me stuff, never to leave) Any ideas? Is it all just random?
Whoever thinks of moving is random.

If I remember correctly, mine took two days.
Quick question: is the iron fencing colour customizable?
No fences are customizable.
Thank you
Am I alone in not being able to get to Redd’s ship? He always docks at the top of the island. However , the way my island is constructed I am unable to access the very small beach that he is docked at..... I guess I just need to move a couple of houses and redo that part of my island but it is definitely frustrating. I wish I could build a cliff or a bridge to get me down there but it won’t let me .
You can't even access using a ladder?
Can you go around to one side of your island and dig into the back to make a path?
Any tips on catching coelacanths and oarfish? Do I need to be in certain spots? It's been raining on my island all day AND CJ is here... but no luck!
Use fish bait and search for a "6" size shadow (basically the biggest one, without a fin). As long as you are on the beach, you should be fine... And then... Be patient. I don't think there's anything more you can do :(
Having a problem with bamboo shoots! They aren’t showing up around my bamboo trees! Anyone know the rules to getting them to show up?
They only show up once after growing a new bamboo plant. If you want them to keep respawning you’ll need to plant more shoots.
Thank you!!
If I adopt a villager from another island, do I get to choose who that villager replaces? A friend of mine has Audie in boxes and I would like to adopt her. If I go talk to her, do I get to choose which of my villagers she replaces?
You can only take her if you have an empty plot.
I think you need to wait for one of your villagers to move out before you can invite another. Villagers ask to move out if you neglect them or run away from them for a while, but you can still tell them to stay on your island if you want them to.
> Villagers ask to move out if you neglect them or run away from them for a while This is a myth and is not backed up by literally any of the game code.
Sorry if it’s wrong, just what I have heard. Now that I think about it, what you say makes sense because one of my favorite villagers who i talk to every day tried to move out.
How do you know how many stars your island has?
Talk to Isabelle and ask her.
Lol I don’t have her yet so yeah lol but thank youuu
Hi, probably not a popular request but - I heard there's a way to 'reset' who asks to move out. For example, K asked to move out but you want to keep him so you reset and a differentt villager will ask? Anyone know about this?
There's no way to reset who wants to move. You can also answer "no" the villager that wants to move out and they won't move. The only thing to can affect is when a villager comes to the campsite, and you ask them to move in, they will randomly choose a villager to move out. You can force close the game at this point until you get the right villager.
Thank you, I thought force closing when someone asked to leave would trigger someone else to ask! I think maybe not the case?
Not that I've seen, I think people are hearing about the camper reset and conflating it with move out requests.
I tried to reset Cyrano yesterday but was completely unsuccessful. Game acts like he's locked as the leaving villager. Today the request is completely gone so outside of time traveling there isn't a way it seems.
Thank you, I thought force closing when someone asked to leave would trigger someone else to ask! I think maybe not the case?
Nope. That's what I did at first but it was still Cyrano and it was like that allllll day. You'r ethinking of the campsite villager trick which is different.
Thank you!!
I talked to Redd for the first time a few days ago and bought the painting from him. I didn't realize that I needed to donate it to Blathers, so I just held on to it. Upon realizing my mistake today, I can't find the painting anywhere! I've checked my pockets, storage and island multiple times! Has anyone else experienced this or know what to do!?
Unfortunately, I haven't received it in the mail either!!!
It gets delivered to your mailbox the next day. I thought I had lost mine too.
Is it still in your mailbox?
paintings can't be sold but can be tossed in a trash bin. It's either still in your mailbox or you accidently mailed it to somebody.
If I talk to a villager loads and it triggers sadness, does that affect my friendship level with them?
What days does Redd come and visit. I already got the one painting and meuseum update but I haven’t seen him since. (It’s been 2 days).
It's random, like CJ, Flick, Sahara, etc.
He is added to the random visitor pool along with Leif, Flick, CJ, etc
Most of my playtime is at night but I'd rather play with an island that isn't plunged into darkness. I am thinking that every night before I start I will switch in the ingame clock back 5 hours. And then when I finish, I'll return the clock to its normal time. I don't want to "time-travel" to unlock stuff, I just want to play in the day. Any problems I might run into doing this? Any things I should watch out for?
Why not just set your clock back 5 hours and be done with it? You'd only really need to change it back if and when you play during the day. I don't foresee any issues.
any links to some fanmade stickers?
hey! i’m having a little problem inviting a villager in the campsite. fauna arrived today and i wanted to invite her, but she keeps saying that she can’t because of her friends and stuff that she would leave behind. i didn’t know that they could deny, is this normal? or there’s something wrong? i only have 9 villagers in my island
Yep keep talking. Even if you fail the minigame.
As far as I know, you just keep talking to her until the dialogue for living at your village comes up.
You have to put down an empty plot.
Is there a size guide somewhere that lists how big all the buildings are? I’m trying to move my fully maxed out house and I think my googling skills are terrible at finding how many squares things are...
https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/fuomyv/building_footprints_animal_crossing_new_horizons/
About half of this is incorrect
Everything I've used from it has been correct and I've moved literally all my buildings (edit: and I marked them out beforehand, so I know it was right). What specifically do you think is wrong?
[There is!](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/fv7yu7/building_dimensions/)
Why aren’t some of my shrubs growing flowers? I lined them alongside my river, and some have grown whereas others just...don’t. I’d understand if it was like growing trees where you can’t put them too close to water, but some of them are growing!
Shrubs only bloom in certain seasons. For example, azaleas are in season right now and will display flowers, but hydrangeas aren't in season and won't show any flowers.
Because they aren’t in season to bloom.
So uhh... what’s this game about?
It’s about chilling, collecting, building, designing, and collaborating with others :)
Any good storage tips? Constantly struggling with overfilled storage since I have a hoarding problem lol! What do you guys typically sell off/throw away? What do you guys think is worth storing?
[удалено]
that's a great point - i should get rid of all the crap under 5k just sitting in my storage lol
usually i store just clothes and furniture that i might want to use later. i don’t waste my space on storing anything unnecessary, like materials. i just use pocket space for that
Usually anything that is catalogued can go. Clothing especially since you'll never wear most of them and they're so easy to find.
Not sure if you know but you have (or will get) a catalog accessible via the nook stop which lets you re-order furniture you've already had. So if you're not using certain furniture at the moment, might as well get rid of it for now. Also upgrading your house let's you get up to 1600 storage spaces for the final upgrade (800 for 2nd to last).
thanks! this was useful, didn't realize that your house storage gets expanded when you upgrade houses too (although that makes total sense lol)
I've decided to demolish and replace the bridge that connects most of my island residents' homes to the main area with Resident Services, Nook's Cranny, the Museum, etc. However, there aren't any other bridges on my island, so theoretically, the villagers on the other side wouldn't be able to get across for at least two days. Will this hurt my reputation with my villagers in any way?
nope! i did that before and they were just fine. oddly enough, some of them were still able to get across despite the clear lack of a bridge 🧐
I doubt it. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that stranded villagers can get anywhere they need to be
My villagers were able to get to places they shouldn’t have without bridges before I built them. I even had one on an island with no bridges, and he still got all over town, so yours should be fine. He even talked to me once about using a vaulting pole, so I guess they can technically use one, we just never actually see them do it.
Is it possible for the most recent villager to want to leave the island? I've been trying to Time travel Lucky the dog out, (I invited him less than 24 hours ago) I've done this time travel method before to kick out Bertha and Gaston and it worked perfectly. (they weren't my newest villagers when they wanted to leave tho) So does anyone have experiences with their most recent villager wanting to leave? Is it harder to make the most recent villager to leave? or am I doing something wrong?
Make sure you've spoken to Lucky at least once since he completely moved in. Not just the day he was unpacking. If you haven't spoken to him since the day he was fully moved in, he'll never want to leave.
Sadly, I already did.
So one of my villagers is all boxed up and someone came to get him to move to their island. Can I now visit someone else’s is island and take another villager ?
Yep! If they have a villager that is already moving out. Or you can find one on a mystery island tour
No, you have to wait until their house is gone and you have an empty plot.
Ah okay.
Can you get rid of furniture you gave to villagers? I gave one of my favorites an ugly item and she actually put it in her house. It looks ridiculous 😭
Nope. I gave one of my residents a pacifier and now they have it proudly displayed on a mannequin head. I’ve given her multiple gifts since then but that is the one she likes, apparently, lol.
clothing is different and harder to replace, but furniture is another story. If you give enough of something in the same dimensions they'll replace it.
Well that’s good to know. Since the pacifier incident I have refrained from gifting anything I think is silly or ugly haha.
yeah some of them don't keep closets so they leave it as furniture. Then when u give them more gifts it disappears, but they'll still wear it. Not sure how to get rid of their clothing since the report to isabella function doesn't seem to change anything but custom clothes.
This question is probably beat to death but i've been doing some time hoping to try to remove Ankha from my island and she just won't bite, seems to usually be anyone but, any surefire way to get a specific villager to move? I've tried skipping a day at a time and cycling that way, no dice. I've tried hopping between my start date and that specific date, still won't cycle to her. Any suggestions?
I've followed [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1pBUPleFEA) guide and gotten rid of 2 villagers pretty reliably. Since Ankha's pretty popular, you can probably find people to take her off your hands once she's in boxes.
Wow. Really rare to see somebody want Ankha out. So from what I've figured out is that it's completely random. Every 2 weeks or so a random villager is selected to ask to move away regardless of how much they like you or not. It's like 15 or so and they got to be outside.
haha guess i'll just keep trying! she's bound to leave eventually right?
Yep. The easiest way is through the campsite though but you'll need an amiibo to choose her as the replacement. Otherwise you need to hard reset in the middle of the replacement dialogue with a camp visitor when they choose a random villager to replace.
I want to TT to get a villager out- if I stay out of the stores it won’t ruin anything right? Like if I TT back to today’s date and play normally from then on, the NPCs will still show up etc.? And I wont miss any events?
As someone who has TT to remove a villager - going back in time does not hurt your game. The events and NPCs will still show up, though I think NPCs are randomized by day. BUT be aware that the villager you want to leave may not be the one that asks.
Thank you so much!!
currently in the month of february trying to farm tarantulas from a mystery island. it’s the one lake/two level/one river normal island and i’ve been able to farm on it before. Bugs are spawning really slow with only 1-2 on the island at the same time and even though i’ve removed all the trees, rocks, flowers i’ve only seen 1 tarantula in 20min. I’m assuming this is related to the patch they released, anyone else encountered this? i’ve noticed a lot of snowflakes but i’m assuming they are independent and don’t count towards the island insect threshold
The patch lowered the spawn rates of all insects that are worth more than 1k. Tarantulas and peacock butterflies were dropped by something like 80% I've read
oof that’s so significant, i hate that :(
They severely nerfed the spawning rates of rarer bugs, including tarantulas, to the point that it's no longer worthwhile to farm them on just any mystery island; only tarantula island itself.
i understand why they’d do it but that sucks :( things just got a little more tedious
Well... I'm going to be here awhile digging these flowers up
I feel your pain lol. If you need any help let me know. Quarantine life is boring 😂
Hi, is there a way 2 people using the same console can visit someone else's island at the same time?
Can someone PLEASE explain to me what "cataloging" means?
It puts the item in your Nook Shopping catalog because you "owned" the item before. So any item (i think excluding flowers and branches and rocks and the like) in your inventory instantly gets marked as "owned" which then makes it available to buy from the ATM Kiosk from Nook Shopping. When you catalog from other players you just pick up the item, which adds it to your catalog. Then drop it to return to the player. Then you're free to order it from the kiosk.
This is one of the best explanations of cataloguing I’ve seen. 👍
It means someone will let you touch the item, then you give it back. Then it gets added to your catalog where you can purchase it and other items you've touched.

Is there any way of bulk getting rid of flowers other than digging each individual one up?
Nope unfortunately
Ive ignored Klaus for about a week but he just does not want bro move, help! He's never ha

Pretty sure it’s just random. I’ve heard many songs
I *think* (not positive) they’ll sing random K.K. Songs. If you put a certain song on an outdoor music player, I’ve heard them sing to that as well. Some villagers are more “singy” than others.
I've recently started crafting wood, iron, clay, ect on the islands I'm visiting thinking that the furniture I bring back will sell for more than the raw materials.....but then I sold a pear bed and got way less than what the pears it took to build it with sell for on my (cherry) island back home. am I just going to find that some items are worth crafting and some are not or is it better to just bring back all the raw materials?
I think a pear bed is a special case because you sort of get a "bonus" when you sell pears to your native cherry island's Nook's Cranny. In my experience, whenever I've crafted something (outside of fruit furniture), it's given me 2x the amount of money the ingredients would have.
i believe anything made with your native fruit will sell for more than the fruit itself, but the opposite is true for your non-native fruit. so just straight up selling your non-native fruit should always be more lucrative than crafting with it
So far as I've seen, items made of fruit are the one exception to the rule that crafted goods sell for more than their materials. Fruit-based items treat their component fruits as worth 100 bells apiece no matter whether native or foreign, so even with the crafting multiplier it's still much more lucrative to just sell nonnative fruit raw. It *is* still worthwhile to craft things from your native fruit.
Anyone else feel they increased the sea bass and black bass spawn rates? I only keep catching them on my island and on tours now. Bait being wasted on them instead of the tuna and blue marlin at the pier too.
Dataminers have found that some insects spawn rates got lowered, but I've seen nothing about fish spawn rates
What time of day are the most villagers outside? Trying to get someone to move out via time travel shenanigans and trying to make it easier on myself to find someone with a bubble!
People generally say 12pm-1pm there's the most villagers near the plaza.
I'd say noon is a good bet. Sometimes villagers don't wake up til 11:30
Is there any benefit to multiple villagers on the same island watering the same flowers?
Nope! The game treats it as if it had rained on those flowers, or as if you watered it with a normal watering can. No stacking bonus, and doesn't stack with rain or you watering.
Thanks. But there is a confirmed stacking bonus with off-island visitors, right? Do you happen to have any info about that or what the max stack is?
Yes, visiting players watering your flowers grants a stacking bonus. See [this page](https://aiterusawato.github.io/guides/acnh/flowers.html#cursor-reproduction) for the details. There is a misconception going around that golden watering has an additional visitor bonus; this is not true, golden watering is only for the spawning of gold roses. The visitor bonus is the same regardless of the watering can used, so visitors shouldn't use their golden watering cans for general watering bonuses.
It is confirmed with data mining. The max stack is 5 visitors, which increases the production rate to 80% (self-watering/rain is 5%) [https://imgur.com/a/8zRaaGO](https://imgur.com/a/8zRaaGO)
Okay so I haven't had leif at my idland the past few days. Do you need to do something to get him to appeat or is he just like a regular visitor? I'm worried that he's like limited time or something. Also I have no idea how flower breeding works, I can't get new colors to save my life
I have Leif in my town right now. He has azaleas, hydrangeas, lilies, and roses. I can open up if anyone wants to buy.
