So, I went to my island as Seedge. My partner is now on the island with a second villager.

She can't seem to present Tom with any bugs or fish so we can get the museum. Does that have to be done with Seedge as they're the main villager?

Yessir. P2 can do nothing substantial in local play.

My 4 year old was having a blast making my character run around and vault over the rivers, so I made her her own character to play. Only problem is her new character has no items herself. Is there a way I can send her items instead of logging in with her character and grinding for a bunch of stuff on her account? I started a local co-op session but when I dropped an item and she picked it up it just poofed out of her hand and went straight to that box in the Nook tent. Would mailing items to her work?

Mail would almost certainly work, or you could just drop stuff on the ground with your character, save&quit, then switch to her character and pick it up.

Anyone in the UK / EU wanna do some island showcasing with me today? I'm determined to visit other islands and it would be cool seeing what you've all made.

How does the visiting islands thing work? If I go to the airport and hit invite all switch friends, does that physically send invites to them, or does it just make the island now accessible to any current and future switch friends?

i flew to three islands today and all had apples and tulips. just bad luck?

as far as i can tell, most islands will have the same fruit and flowers as your island's native fruits and flowers, with a much smaller percentage having fruits and flowers that are not native to your island.

The Nookticket tours are basically made for looting the entire island then never returning.

They probably mean other people's islands. I've only been to best friends' islands so I don't know how normal friends work, but as best friends, you can pick up and drop items, loot rocks and trees, and chop down/shovel trees. You can't place or take furniture. Haven't tried other interactions.

Also, haven't found any way for one person to give another person something that Blathers collects, but I think that may have been the case in the previous games too.

if you catch a boot while fishing your character goes 'hey this gives me a new DIY idea' and it's just if you have two boots you can make a pair of boots to wear

The tire just gives you a tire toy. You just put the tire on the ground and now it's a toy.

Hey so this is total speculation but the first 3 villagers you can recruit are

Peppy
Normal
Lazy


When you can go on island adventures you'll run into someone from those pools no matter what. You will always pull one of them. They'll say they'll move in but they are lying to you and you need to set it up so 3 are moving in at once. The next day Nook will tell you he hosed up and you need to build houses for 3 people and give you specific tasks that those three personalities would like. When you finish building their houses (Gather a poo poo ton of matts and 20 native fruit) he'll finally let them start moving in. You have to complete that entire """quest"" line to even get them to show up.

It's how I spent my morning anyway

For me, it became a recipe for a tiny piano. That's pretty cool if there are random variations for different players.

never before have I had a problem with Tom Nook but now.... now I feel so betrayed I don't even have words... :negative:


I was asked to pick out plots of land for my new neighbors, labelled 1 through 3 and I assumed that it was the same order I invited them in so I made my favorite new villager my neighbor. Turns out, the labelling was arbitrary and they got randomized and instead of the amazing neighbor I was expecting I got the villager I only invited because I needed 3 people :cry:

I primarily play together with my wife and I think the Island Ichthyologist and Bugs Don't Bug Me are only counting when the leader catches something new. We both definitely have more entries in our Critterpedia than are being tracked on Nook Miles. I'm hoping this is a bug that can be fixed, otherwise the completionist in me is going to be sad if I can't get the last stamp. Anybody else notice this?
