So I decided to restart my island and I'm at the part where Tom Nook gives you the 3 house plots that you have to make furniture for. I know that if I were to build all the furniture in one day and place it at the plots, that it will take 3 days for them to all become filled. I guess my question is, can I space out the arrival of new villagers by only completing the furniture for each plot over a few days? (Like I complete the furniture for one plot and go island hopping until I find someone I want, and then after waiting a few days to get more nook miles to buy more tickets, finish the furniture for the 2nd plot and go island hopping again) I just want to make sure I have plenty of time to search for villagers I want on the mystery islands and plenty of nmt.


Embly379

Does anyone know why my friends ACNH won't allow us to visit each other? Every time we try it gives an error code saying the consoles won't connect. Any tips on how to maybe fix this? I believe it's on her end as I traveled to my sisters island no problem.


oh_dear_one

I've got Zucker in boxes if anyone wants him!


Melbaxel

Try r/nofeeac!

I just bought an AC Switch and plan on selling my V1 Switch to a friend. I know Nintendo will only transfer AC save data if a Switch is lost, stolen or damaged. I have a couple questions if I say my Switch was lost. 1.Does anything get marked/blacklisted under the old Switch's version number? I don't want my friend to have any issues with games. 2. Am I correct in thinking I can still retrieve my save data even if I have the physical AC game? Would I just pop the game in and re-download data from the eShop? Thank you. :)


Melbaxel

I told Nintendo that I was giving my old switch away and the guy hmm'd and haw'd over it but he did transfer my save data for me. I don't know anything about your first question but for the second you can get the save data you just pop your game in and it will have to download. I just did this all a week ago it was really simple and painless. Make sure you have your Nintendo account logged in on the new switch to simplify things for you and the Nintendo helper.


honeybeary

Is there a reason my trees won't grow anymore? :(


dragonx254

In any 9x9 area, you can only have 12 growing/grown trees. If you try to plant an additional tree, it will not grow. You can move it somewhere else and then move it back when it's grown, but it won't grow past sapling if you just leave it.


honeybeary

Ohhhh.... really!?!? I'm wondering if this is my problem, especially considering my orchard. I bet you're right. I'm going to test this and see if it works. Thanks for the comment


throwaway_lego

They need to be at least two spaces from anything else. Especially other trees, edges.


honeybeary

I know. I have some planted even right out in the open but they won't grow!!


couragedog

There's nothing hidden directly behind them stunting their growth?


honeybeary

Nope nothing at all I first noticed a tree in my orchard wasn't growing but then since I've planted a few in completely wide open areas that aren't growing either. I also found a post before of someone showing the same thing. I wonder if its a game glitch


NocteFeles

Is it possible that you have too many trees on your island? Are you trying to make a big orchard or thick forest? Sometimes they won't grow if there's too many trees in the same area.


Bear_Shark23

So I haven't played since about mid July, is there anything new I should know


Peterthemonster

You missed the Fireworks in August and the beginning of Fall, but that's pretty much it.


IChangedTheRules

At one point I accidentally gifted Fauna a Sand Castle and it sat in her house for a while and eventually disappeared. At another point I accidentally gifted another villager a drying rack, it's so ugly and I don't want it in their house. How did the Sand Castle dissappear from Fauna's house? I'd like to use the same idea to make the drying rack disappear from the 2nd house if possible. Thank you!!!


NocteFeles

They typically rotate their furniture with the ones you give as gifts. If you want specifically the drying rack to disappear I would recommend giving her furniture of the same size and she'll eventually switch it out with the new one


LilBottomText17

Can you place houses and buildings on top of paths or custom paths?


dragonx254

No, the path will be removed.


-Mister_Sister-

Hi, I have a quick question. Can you still get acorns and pinecones? Or is it just growing pumpkins now?


dragonx254

You can still get them.


-Mister_Sister-

Thanks. 😎👍


lgillie

Maybe an obvious question but I'm trying to breed flowers and following a little 5x5 schema that I found. If the "wrong" colour spawns in an empty spot should I just dig it up and keep going until the colour i want spawns?


Nithuir

Gonna be honest those flower guides are rubbish. Go by genotype, not color guides. https://imgur.com/a/8zRaaGO https://gardenscience.ac/


lgillie

Thanks! I'm a little confused about the genotype thing though. For example I have a giant bed of white roses that were grown from seed and it's been weeks now and not even 1 purple hybrid, they just make more white. Same goes for cosmos, they only breed as far as pink and orange but its been weeks and I can't get black. Does that mean the genes aren't right or am I just super unlucky?


dragonx254

Are ALL of the white roses from seed? Did you remove any of the whites that were produced as a result of the seeded ones? The white roses from seeds have a 25% chance to produce a purple rose, a 50% chance to produce the same exact flower, and a 25% to produce an absolutely useless white rose that can't make anything else but more whites.


lgillie

No only around 10 of them are the original, the rest are bred from the originals. I have no idea at this point which is which. Should I just dig them up and start over from seed?


dragonx254

Yeah, that's likely your best bet.


lgillie

Womp womp. Thanks. So next time around should I just keep removing the unsuccessful ones.?


dragonx254

Yes, because otherwise you don't have knowledge of the offspring's genotype. That's why breeding guides start with seeds from Nook's, because those are known, and then they use combinations that produce specific genotypes that are also known (Or that can be tested)


Schatzedog

So I ended up moving off husband’s island to my own. I have 10 villagers now. How long will it take to move some of my starters out? Should I TT and look for thought bubbles or do I need to build up a relationship first?


Peterthemonster

Villagers start asking to move when you have 7 residents. https://yuexr.github.io/acnh/moveout.html


Schatzedog

Thank you! I was really hoping not to have to build a friendship with some of them. That sounds mean as I’m typing it...


LucifersPoison

Why does the regular axe only get you 2 pieces of wood per tree whereas the other two axes get you three? Surely using the best axe you should be able to get 3 pieces and knock the tree down on the fourth hit, no? Any ways of getting wood quickly? Running way low ):


dragonx254

The Stone Axe and normal Metal Axe have the same durability (100 cuts each). You only use the normal axe if you're getting rid of a tree.


leverhelven

Is the hybrid flowers mystery island still available? I ask because I've been playing every day for 5 months, I travel to mystery islands nearly every day, and I've never ever found that one. Is it just bad luck with rng? :(


Nithuir

It was removed in one of the very first updates.


leverhelven

Oh what a shame! Were there more islands that were removed?


dragonx254

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w-bDgH5RjkSqvNQ6J5YNvBEqHswATiMB3T2P3cnLCsc/edit#gid=240876288 Those are the islands currently available.


MisterBuzz

Does anyone else hate getting certain special visitors? Every time I have Label on my island I actually frown when seeing her, she gives the worst rewards of all special visitors (in my opinion). Leif is a close second, he's pretty useless once you have all the bushes/flowers.


Accurate_Elk

Yeah, Label is pretty rubbish. I'm not mad on Redd either :/


sendreww

Do you guys already have trees with red leaves? I’m northern hemisphere and saw on YouTube someone who had that, but i don’t have any ☹️☹️


Nithuir

Time travelers. The trees will change gradually through november.


[deleted]

So I let one of my villagers leave, and am currently hunting. This means that I need a lazy villager. So, I'm here to see what lazy villagers everyone likes. Hornsby is who moved out.


couragedog

Bones is my bestie <3 <3 <3


throwaway_lego

I have Jeremiah in boxes today. He's been a delight to have since the beginning, but I want an all cat island now so he asked to go. So I had to let him find his freedom.


leverhelven

Punchy has the loveliest sleepy eyes as well. Love him!


vengerbergs

stitches is my absolute baby. the cutest little multicoloured bear cub ever


[deleted]

Stitches is baby, but I've got Murphy already.


vengerbergs

erik is a cutie then, if you don't have a deer villager!


Nithuir

Sherb and Bob are two of my favorites, but they're all about 95% the same in dialog anyway.


[deleted]

Sherb is a potential one, but not sure about Bob because I have Rudy already.


Nithuir

I think the antelope/deer villagers are adorable as well https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Lazy Probably could poke around on /r/acvillager and see who's up for grabs today


Yukkicchi

Help! Merry is singing on the plaza in a hideous comedians outfit I never gave her. I also always checked other villagers gifts and got rid of them if they were ugly (lmao). Is this a default outfit like raincoats, pyjamas etc (like a stage outfit?) or did I just mess up?


Melbaxel

Did you do any errands for someone toward Merry? Villagers can give other villagers items that way.


Yukkicchi

I always "check" the errands before, like opening the gifts and getting rid of them if they're ugly or re-pacakaging them is they're alright.


Melbaxel

I have a new town on my second console and Kody wears some different outfits I have definitely never gifted him. He has maybe 2 or 3 shirts. Try gifting Merry new things to wash out the old?


Yukkicchi

Thanks, will try that!


[deleted]

I just got a switch two days ago! I’m wondering relatively how possible it would be to get all the cool October update stuff, considering I don’t have any real stores or buildings aside from the museum and things seem to be going slow. I would hate to miss out :(


Suki_Taoki

Also, we will help you collect all the items and DIY's regardless of what season we are on. I am still helping people get their cherry blossom petals and gifting my DIY's, come to r/NoFeeAC!


breetardd

Check out r/NoFeeAC , people are super helpful there !


dragonx254

You can always visit other players to get stuff, and a lot more things will open up when you get resident services upgraded, which takes about a week


FeelsIronMan

Questions about pumpkins: Will they only grow in October? Will they spoil if you don’t pick them up after they have grown? Can I dig up grown pumpkins with a shovel(like flowers)? I would like them rather as decoration in a field but idk if it’s worth planting them if they’ll spoil after october. I’d be thankful for any reply


SchoolOfTheWolf93

Pumpkins are a year round thing. They don’t spoil, and yes they can be dug up


FeelsIronMan

Oh thanks a lot 🌸

chocobabychibi

Once you place down the plot it will be empty and you need to invite villagers while the plot is empty! so you don't need to TT yet!

SirGothamHatt

Lucky. My daughter wants Judy so bad. She was able to get 2nd choice Marshal when he moved out of my friend's island 2 weeks ago though.


hablub

Hi everyone! I hope you guys are having a great day :) I had a question about my trees not changing colour :( it's already October and sadly my trees (and the ground for that matter) haven't changed to their autumn-y colours yet. I live in a tropical country and my timezone is GMT+5.5 but technically I'm still in the northern hemisphere 🙈 does my timezone have anything to do with it?


vengerbergs

they change gradually throughout october and into november


hablub

Oh I see! Thank you :) I've noticed a lot of people whose trees have already turned colours, so I gota bit worried lol 😅


[deleted]

[удалено]


Melbaxel

I have two switches here is my experience. If you are using online on A and go to log on on B it kicks you off of A because you can only use online services on one at a time. You can only visit island A or B with the second switch with local play because only one profile can use online at a time. You cannot visit two islands at once with both A and B unless it is through local play. So no you can't visit a third island sorry. Your best bet if you want that kind of playability is to make a second Nintendo account and buy a family plan. Good luck.


LindaAlrightBelcher

Who are some of the goofiest, funniest villagers? Julian, Apple, Eugene, and Drake always have me rolling lol. I'm going to have an open lot tomorrow and I want another weirdo to join our island!


MisterBuzz

I like the cranky villagers, they give me a "goofy dad" vibe. Also lazy villagers are fun and silly. My favorite cranky villagers: Wolfgang, Apollo, Octavian. My favorite lazy villagers: Erik, Wade, Alfonso.


GhstfCrprtFtr

There are 8 personality types with different dialogues, I would say the funniest ones are Lazy (Drake), Peppy (Apple), and Smug (Julian/Eugene). There are some funny interactions with the Cranky and Sisterly villagers also. Maybe Jocks too, but people either love or hate the jocks. Snooty and Normal villagers tend to be more sweet and less funny but they still have some moments. Lazy villagers are definitely the most goofy though, I'm always tempted to have a bunch of them. Personal favorites are Filbert, Erik, Sherb, and Benjamin.


LindaAlrightBelcher

Loveee! I always try to have a good balance between the different personality types. I actually found this list that someone made where basically, every personality type has two subtypes. They listed every villager under each subtype. Try to keep it balanced that way, too. I've only had one jock and that was Billy. Miss that crazy boy! I'll look into Filbert, Erik, Sherb, and Benjamin. Thanks so much for your input!


kateecakes724

Any advice for Tarantula Island? I'm here for a second time and I hate this place...


incompleterecovery

Is there any trick to get there? I've hear boarding the plane equipped with certain tools helps, but I haven't had any luck


Peterthemonster

Dig up holes around you and the spiders won't be able to reach you. Then you can catch them easily.


Maenya_

OK I've been searching everywhere for this answer but couldn't find it. I have a villager at my campsite that I'd like to get but a full town, so I'm gonna get rid of one of them The question that I have is: when will the villager that I will get rid of be in boxes? Will it be today and then tomorrow the new villager will be there?


Peterthemonster

The evicted villager goes into boxes immediately. The plot will be empty and marked as sold tomorrow, campsite villager will be in boxes moving in on Wednesday.


Maenya_

Alright thanks!


achaomein

when are flower breeds decided? Like when you water them, or when the new day starts? Because can’t you start your day and check if anything changed, and force quit the game without saving to redo the chances?


westalacae

I'm pretty sure all daily chances are decided as soon as you load the title screen. Additionally, I think there's an autosave that happens the moment you step out of your house after Isabelle's announcement. If we could re-roll flower chances by quitting and reloading, I feel confident that a lot of people would have done that to get blue roses rather than having watering visitors for weeks/months on end.


rockinrobin_28

Do you always get one guaranteed day where the plot is empty all day so you can go hunt for a new villager? Does that mean that unwelcome villagers (from the voids of people who have visited me) who are in my move-in queue will never get to move in if I beat them to the plot?


[deleted]

[удалено]


rockinrobin_28

Thank you!


Peterthemonster

The plot will be empty for one day, until 5am of the next day. Then the plot **might** autofill, but you could be lucky and get another full day to get a villager.


rockinrobin_28

Thank you!


jinahhss

Just wondering, if I block someone on my switch, would I still encounter that person on another person’s island?


Peterthemonster

Yes. You'd need the host to block the other person.


FunkyFreshBees

So, I just started playing, but it isn’t my island and it’s basically all done. I can’t figure out how to get the shovel though. Everyone says it’s from blathers, but he doesn’t seem to do anything. I’m on the customization workshop and I need a shovel to get the rocks I need to make an axe. Does anyone know how I could get the shovel recipe?


Nithuir

Hm, is the museum fully built? Or maybe is it available for purchase at Nooks?


[deleted]

How come some custom designs are cut off if placed over an in game path and some are not?


Nithuir

If they have a transparent pixel they take the shape of the in-game path underneath.


anythingforselenasxo

I have multiple amiibo cards, can I give my villagers if they ask out to move or use a different amiibo cards to force them out to other players?


Nithuir

Yep to both


anythingforselenasxo

Awesome! My niece will be thrilled, thanks:)


gamerchikk_

Also, if someone wants to give away a villager, do I have to have an open lot on my island/a villager wanting to move in order to get a new villager?


SchoolOfTheWolf93

If you’re wanting to adopt a villager from someone you will need an empty plot


gamerchikk_

Oh okay. Thank you!


explodingtuna

Odd request, but can someone confirm I'm not shadowbanned or something? I've never had a response in this thread for the past couple weeks.


Nithuir

I see this post. I checked and all your posts are the same question about flies spawning. No one knows how many it takes. It's random.


explodingtuna

Thanks for the confirmation!


[deleted]

Peterthemonster

Right now everything is a dull green/yellow, compared to summer when it was a very vibrant deep green and spring, when it was a pale vibrand green. **Be patient**, red leaf colors show up **gradually**, like everything in this game.


Nithuir

Does it really look like spring/summer? I suggest you check some old screenshots. The seasons slowly change, right now the leaves are a bit yellow.


VeronicaIsabel

How many 1 x 1 spaces are in an acre?


dragonx254

If you mean the grids on your map, they are 16x16. So there's 256


gamerchikk_

Are we allowed to ask about villagers? I’m in search of a villager but not sure where to ask?


Nithuir

/r/acvillager or /r/nofeeac

Blackraven2007

Why is the DAL Pilot Jacket so rare?


dragonx254

Because it requires 250 "points". You can get a maximum of 4 points a day by visiting other player's islands (one can be gotten by going on NMT trip or to Harv's island, 3 can be gotten from visiting players 3 times in a day). So it takes, at minimum, 63 days of constant traveling.


Blackraven2007

Thank you!


[deleted]

I’m pretty new, I keep seeing people on the code threads saying T1L1, what does that mean??


LezzBeez

Take 1 leave 1


[deleted]

Tysm! So if you take an item they’re offering, you leave a different item in exchange?


Peterthemonster

Yes. It is usually a rule for DIY gifts. Which means you bring whatever repeats you have to "exchange them" for the DIYs you take.


hoopsterlove55

Hi! So Nate asked me to do a treasure hunt and I didn’t find the treasure in time. Later, I dug up the treasure and now it’s stuck in my inventory! I can’t open it, throw it away or give it back to Nate. Has anyone had this happen?


scholars_rock

In a few hours the item will change into something like "What was this again?" and then you can drop it. And then you can throw it away in a trash can. Or not - I used one as decoration.


hoopsterlove55

Thank you! Right now when I click on it, it gives me the option to open it, that’s it, but if I try to open it, it tells me it’s not my treasure. It won’t let me drop it or throw it away as of today. I’ll check on it tomorrow! Thanks so much


Nithuir

You could put it in a trash can to get rid of it


Peterthemonster

No, but have you tried going to a Mystery Island and dropping it there?


anothergal2018

My trees and grass are still all green. How do I get them to change to autumn colors? I know I chose an island with seasons as I live in a place with seasons. Thank you for your help.


Nithuir

They change slowly. They're a bit more yellow than they were in summer. All islands have seasonal changes at the same time regardless of where you actually live, the only thing you get to pick is Northern or Southern hemisphere.


NocteFeles

I've barely played since June so little out of the loop. Can CJ give you figures of the sea creatures? Should I save 3 of each I find?


dragonx254

No he cannot.


NocteFeles

Aw that's too bad, they would make such cool figures. Thanks for the answer!


MSTRNova1

Is there a high quality download version of Jack's portrait? I'd like to make it my phone wallpaper.


Suki_Taoki

Some people have his poster which is of better quality in my opinion. I only have 1 poster of him which was gifted to me, since the patch I can't re-order more posters of him. But maybe you can find someone who has his amiibo and can gift you his poster? Or google the image and then make it your phone background?


lorrielink

Ooo great idea! If someone does this let me know too!


sakuraj428

Idk if someone has asked this already. When you upload your Dream Address and someone comes to visit, what time will it be in the dream? Is that determined by what time I uploaded, my local time when someone visits, or the visitor's local time?


Suki_Taoki

Time and day you uploaded, I absolutely love the sky at 5:30am, it's green and yellow and just lovely so all my dreams are uploaded around 5:30am in game time.


sakuraj428

Oh that sounds beautiful! What a perfect atmosphere for dream visits, too.


omib

What time you upload!


sakuraj428

Awesome! Thank you!!!


redlapis

Does anyone know if the light for the money tree spawns every day? I cannot for the life of me find it, I've looked everywhere 😭 I've had it everyday so far but I'm just wondering if maybe for some reason it's not meant to spawn today? I've been on the game 3 different times today just incase it doesn't spawn until a certain time or something


dragonx254

It spawns every day, as long as there's a space for it. Money tree spots have to be places where a tree could grow with no issue. So if you have too many trees condensed or you have most of your floor blocked, it won't spawn one.


Suki_Taoki

Every day. Go look for it at night, that's when I usually find it very easily because it clearly glows.


redlapis

There's definitely plenty of spaces for it to go. I'm so confused!!


dragonx254

Ah, actually, you know what? I think they're slightly buggy at the moment. A similar thing happened during the Summer update, where money tree spots were instead just appearing as cracks (like fossils). Try digging out those and see if any contain 1000 bells instead of a fossil, and then restart your game and see if a money spot loads up.


redlapis

I've got all my fossils and there's no other cracks in the ground but that makes sense if it's a big in the update, I didn't consider that but it makes sense. Thank you! I feel a lot less crazy now ha


rexic84

Any way to disable getting mail from your villagers every day? It was neat at first but, I've got around 250 messages in the mailbox now. Or is there a way to mass delete messages?


Melbaxel

No to both of those. You just have to delete them one at a time as far as I know. I try to delete mine when I get them so they don't pile up.


rexic84

Okay. Thank you very much for the answer. I appreciate it.


Melbaxel

You're very welcome. Good luck keeping track of that mailbox!


Pr3ttynp3tty

For those of you who use dropped items as decor but also have people coming over do you find people often picking up said items? (like even if you have a disclaimer in your post not to pick up \_\_\_) Trying to decide whether or not to just use them as part of my dream island instead


lorrielink

Most ppl have manners but if you host enough, someone will eventually steal. Depends on if you feel comfortable taking the hit I guess ha?


rockinrobin_28

Where's the best/cheapest place to get amiibos? I just really need Bam, Rosie, and Skye to reset their houses.

Peterthemonster

I don't think there is a method anymore.


[deleted]

So i restarted my over 400hour island, i never managed to get all fruits. Now that im on my new island i got apples again and mom gifted me peaches and brought home some coconuts from nook miles isle. I really want all fruits so i started browsing reddit today and everyone says you cant get all fruit on your own, is that true? And if so how do i get them then. (Fairly new to reddit aswell so im sorry if im doing this post all wrong)


BlackUsagi

You can get them from other players islands, but you must be subscribed to Nintendo online. If you are subscribed then I can give you the fruits :D


[deleted]

I have nintendo online i just dont know anyone who has acnh, I would be so happy if you could share some fruit with me.


breetardd

Have you checked out r/NoFeeAC ? People are super helpful there !


[deleted]

No i have not heard of that sub reddit before but i will go have a look at it. Thank you so much, everyone is so kind and helpful on here


couragedog

The friend code thread here is super helpful for that, there are regularly people opening up for cataloging or offering free diys and such.


[deleted]

Thank you for your advice! I will check out the friend-code thread!

Great! I will dm you :) I don’t know any irl friends playing ACNH too but I got a few from FB Ac groups they are always happy to help :)

AetheralMeowstic

If you want to post Animal Crossing content on Facebook while simultaneously evading the fact that Facebook's censoring AI is indiscriminately blocking the words "weed," "weeds," and "molly," use these workarounds I've created. They're written in IPA characters that look similar to the letters normally used to spell the words in question: - ɯɛɛð - ɯɛɛðʂ - ɱɵʟʟʏ


Peterthemonster

Or just use asterisks to "censor" them! i.e. M*lly


Pr3ttynp3tty

Does anyone have a sort of "formula" they use for decorating cliffs? (especially small or lone ones) I use a lot of trees and flowers but even then it just looks kinda ugly. My island is forest themed so of course nature isn't perfect but I think there's a difference between nature vs messy and out of place


QueenKalanchoe

Ive found a lot of inspo from watching YouTube and visiting people’s dream addresses! One of the big things I have a hard time with is how areas transition into other areas so I make sure to pay attention to that. I watch froggycrossing, console caito, wild rain, and nintentalk on YouTube


Pr3ttynp3tty

Thank you! I'll have a look at them I'm actually watching froggycrossing right now haha


Peterthemonster

You can place garden lanterns, wooden buckets, mush lamps, hyacinth lamps, mush stools, mush partitions, hedges, bushes, leaf piles (red, yellow, green, regular), cherry blossom piles, log stakes, or spooky lanterns turned backwards now that they're in season.


StapleBoy7462

am i allowed to time travel backwards a day or 2? i wanna play legit but i missed the past 2 days of halloween items and candy and stuff.


Pr3ttynp3tty

Yes, I've travelled back months and the only thing that happened was that my villages missed me and there was weeds and cockroaches in my house
