Feel free to let them know if there is anything we can do to make this subreddit better and more convenient for you all. e.g. Any suggestions to prepare for the 3.0 Update?

We will be implementing a spoiler policy for 3.0 content when it comes out! This means that anyone posting ACNH content showing off features and screenshots from the 3.0 update should spoiler their post so that people who haven't updated yet won't be spoiled. Let us know if you have any questions about this!

(If you applied for mod but didn't get accepted at this time, we may still consider your application in the future. If you didn't apply and still would like to do so, apps are still open for now!)

This game was the reason I got a switch 6 years ago, as a jealous little sister. But now I am officially farther than my older brother who introduced me to this game and I can’t say I’m very excited🤣

9 Upvotes

I've been an ACNH since launch date. I took a few years off and started playing again this summer. Filbert wants to move right now and I can't decide if I'm going to keep him or bring in another squirrel. Umm.... I have attachment issues with the squirrels. I've had everyone in the game except the ones you need a special amiibo to invite to the campsite. I have all of there photos as well.

Currently on my island:

  1. Static (NEVER LEAVING) ❌
  2. Marshal (NEVER LEAVING) ❌
  3. Poppy (NEVER LEAVING) ❌
  4. Mint
  5. Peanut
  6. Hazel
  7. Ricky
  8. Agent S
  9. Caroline
  10. Filbert

Please leave suggestions. I will leave his dialogue on the screen and work on other things until I decide who I want to bring back. 😂

I got lucky with this scene as 1) it’s probably the most PG scene in the whole thing 2) it was easy to put together in acnh! I hope you guys enjoy!!!💞

Discussion Which time of the day do you enjoy most?

9 Upvotes

Before I update my dream island I'd like to know which time of the day you like best in ACNH. Dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, dusk, night ...? Sure, some islands have themes that only go with nighttime, for instance. But in general: At what time do you most enjoy visiting other islands? Also, do you mind when it rains?

Question Never Played AC Before

0 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! I'm looking for your honest opinions, please 🙏🏻.

I am Autistic, and gaming is my ultimate "Special Interest"....

However, my autism ALWAYS makes me want to be EXTREMELY good at any games I'm new at, and really like.

So, I've had Animal Crossing: New Horizons for about 3 weeks... However, due to being addicted to Vampire Survivors, I only started playing Animal Crossing 7 days ago.... Which I'm now addicted to also 😂.

Within 7 days I've....

  1. Paid off 4 home loans... the latest loan amount I paid off was $598'000, which was for a 3rd room in my house.... And now I have a 5th house loan for a 4th room.

  2. Used Nook Miles tickets to invite 3 different NPCs from their own islands.

  3. DIY all of the required items for the 3 new houses that are for the 3 NPCs I invited to my island. They're now residents of my island.

  4. Built the Nook Cranny shop.

  5. Found enough items for Blathers, and now have a cool huge Museum.

  6. The main office now has a new staff member named Isabelle, and is now larger, with 2 desks to sit at.

  7. There's now a campsite for visitors who are potential residents. Whenever there's a tent there, I invite the NPC to stay. They become a resident of my island once I've picked a spot for their new house.

  8. Within 7 days I got an A rank for my house, along with a bronze plaque for my wall.

  9. Filled over half of the "Sea Creatures" page in my creature discovery journal. However, there are HEAPS missing in the Insect and Fish pages that I need to discover.

  10. Within a week, I have done all of the above with zero help, because no one in my Nintendo Switch 2 friend list has Animal Crossing....

Is the amount I've accomplished within the past 7 days considered heaps, or have I not done much at all?... Please, keep in mind that I'm very new, and I've only played the last 7 days

Thoughts, please 🙏🏻 😊

Discussion Should I restart my island?

0 Upvotes

im coming back from a break from playing the game, and my island is kind of a mess! I have most of the villagers I want but the only thing left to do is decorate and collect everything! it feels a bit tedious to do all of these things as my favourite part is probably collecting all of the villagers I like. I’ve seen a lot of people on here saying that I should just flatten my island, but im not sure, any opinions?

Harv’s Commune Not Opening?

5 Upvotes

I got my island to 3 stars and had KK Slider’s concert. I have waited for a week for Harv’s letter asking for help but haven’t gotten it. I checked and my island is still at three stars.

Do I have to have Harv explain Photopia to me to unlock the commune? Or is there another requirement?

If it matters, I have unlocked the café.

EDIT: The problem has been solved. Thank you all for answering!

I was really excited to get spike but he reminds me of my lazy ex and gives insults instead of cute comments! So didn’t like him straight away. Replacing him with Mineru just so I can kick him out 🤣 does anyone else have him? Am I wrong to get rid?

Discussion Should I reset my island?

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hello Guys!

Since 2021 I've been playing Animal Crossing and I love it, and my island is going to be in its 5th anniversary!

But a months ago I was thinking in re-decorate my island, except that I have many things to remove, villagers, etc. So I was thinking in reset it.

Maybe I'll bring back my favorite villagers from old island and carry some new villagers.

So, what do you think?

Question I lost 500+ hrs of gameplay 😭

10 Upvotes

A family member fully erased my switch 2 without my knowledge and I’ve been trying everything I can to get my island back. My Nintendo switch online membership expired like 8 months ago, and of course I would’ve resubscribed if I knew this might’ve happened.

My understanding is that nothing would be saved on the island transfer tool (I previously transferred my island successfully from my old switch, but ofc I checked my old switch and my island isn’t there anymore after transferring).

I tried contacting support, but they said I would’ve had to have resubscribed within 180 days to access my cloud save data. Is there really nothing I can do to recover my island? I’m so upset.

Sprocket (keep or let go?)

Should I let sprocket leave my island? I’m feeling a little sentimental because he was one of my first villagers, but this is the first time anyone has asked to leave.
