Downloaded the game a few hours ago, played it until i got the nook miles store open and got the pro design editor. The game really put me in some old Nintendo nostalgia mode so wasted some time making an outfit to go catch all the island's creatures in:

I have all the fruit (but they're growing) so don't worry about bringing anything in particular.

E: looks like there's still lots of apples.

Cheers, I have my full set of fruits now. :woop: I left a couple of oranges and cherries in exchange.

Okay, so the museum is impressive! I think I messed up though; I went and did a big multiple donations thing when it opened and now I really miss Blathers talking about all the critters. :( I guess I missed out on all those chats now? This is my first AC game, I'm just derping around and it's great fun.

Good news! The game actually lets you get that dialogue whenever you want if you bring him another specimen and ask him to tell you about it.

I always loved all of that dialogue so I'm very happy about this :3:

I wish the museum plaques contained Blathers' info snippets on them. I mean you can clearly see from the graphics that quite a bit is written on them, certainly more than just the item name and your name. :mad: I don't want to have to re-catch/rediscover bugs/fish/fossils just to get some text outta him!

I wish I could ask him to tour me around the museum and tell me about any exhibits I interact with.

e: I do appreciate not having to go through 12 menu loops to donate a bag full of critters now, though.

Oh yeah! I think that is it for sure. Saw him and Scoot both doing sports moves at each other on the fairgrounds, pretty loving adorable.

Fun fact about "Basic Wall" wallpaper. The top part of the wall slightly shifts as you move the camera or villager around. Looks like it's a kind of window into their development offices! Pretty cool

WHAT: Saharah. bring your own bells, you can buy a wallpaper/floor and 3 rugs. lobby floor / meadow vista wall
CODE: B66VY
FRUIT: native apples, feel free to shake the trees or buy some from the cranny if you need them. I'm missing peaches and bananas(?) but it's no biggie, I like my apples.
EXTRAS: north of the river of resident services I have a catalog dump, just pick up and drop the items to register them in your catalog. if you want to keep something it's a "take 1 leave 1" honor policy, I don't care.

I'll be afking somewhere so don't feel bad if I don't reply, my island is pretty bad but you're welcome to talk to villagers or fish or do whatever too. :)

Is there a downside to keeping some of the weeds around? It gives the riverbanks a real rustic feeling.

Presumably at some point in the game you might be concerned with your "town rating" but it's pretty obtuse and not a concern until waaaaay later. For now, I agree, the weeds are just good plant textures to jazz up the place so I am remiss to pluck em all.

Just for confirmation: if you're the 2nd resident on the same switch, you're not really able to take point on improving the island? I'm just now getting to blathers initial 15, and my wife wanted to know if she could also assist. I'm sure she'll be able to donate to the museum itself, but I know I had to be the one to get blathers on the island initially.

It seems to vary. The second person can't give the initial five to Nook, but they can contribute to the initial fifteen to Blathers.

I don't think they can give the shop materials to the kid either, but they can harvest them and give them to you.

A real hellraiser


After constructing the houses and the store I feel like I have a decent stockpile of wood now. I'm just going to chop my fruit trees in most circumstances since they are guaranteed to not have wasps. That should be a sustainable amount of wood for the future

My house got around a lot of the limitation by just having players 2-4 drop the stuff on the ground and player 1 turn it in when they log in. It is not ideal, but it works. Every day part of my quest are turning in the materials my family leaves at various locations.

I keep getting decent streaks going and then running into a fish that just seems to immediately take the bait rather than doing the circle/splash they usually do and ruins it :mad:

I semi-accidentally ended up catching around 90 fish without ever messing up, and then that one fish bit on the first try, and swam off. :cripes:

The most annoying thing is that the counter just doesn't reset. I literally have no idea how many fish I have to catch, anymore.

IIRC, the ones that take it right away are more likely to be rare fish that you have to react fast to in order to catch them.

They have also ruined many of my streaks.

Helps a bit for me to use the joy-cons, especially for fishing, the smaller, more responsive buttons seem to help.

My fishing technique is to just not even look at the screen and only go by sound. I think it's easier if you're using a controller that doesn't vibrate, too.

Haven't lost a fish since starting the game, and I just know I'm going to get to like 95, and someone will suddenly decide to start loudly talking to me after I cast.
