I wonder if we'll get the new update this week? It's supposed to come with an Earth Day Event which is next week on the 22nd. What do you even do on Earth Day?

It will probably involve Lief, I wouldn't be surprised if it's some flower related stuff?

I’m in the same boat. Can you get around this by time traveling? I’m usually against that but in this case I would be willing to do it just to save myself 2 weeks of pointless waiting.

Yes but I'm not going to do it. The game is a grind, but it's a no-pressure, relaxing kind of grind that's so rare. I'd be too stressed if I could time travel to get whatever I want. Tomorrow morning the shop will have moved and a bridge will have been demolished (it's a diagonal bridge that won't line up with a path). Then I can reshape the river, set up a new bridge, start a house move, and set up the plots for the houses. In addition to all the regular maintenance stuff, that's plenty to do.

I guess it's mostly annoying that you can't experiment with how things will look. If I decide houses need to be one step further apart, that's like weeks worth of work because I can't just shift the house, I need to move them to far away to clear the area (one day) and move them back (another day).

So, since a lot of people are getting more into terraforming just some friendly tips so you don't make the same mistakes I have.

1. The cliff tool can't be used to fill in gaps below you. So if you demolish an incline, and terraform up around it while waiting you're going to have to dig back to it to fill in where it was.

2. Always check which villagers you've moved and which you haven't if you aren't 100% sure. 50k and a day wasted otherwise.....

3. I like using a path type that I don't want to keep as a way of marking out plots that need to be worked on.

4. No, you can't build caves, and 3 story high cliffs need a buffer of 1 two story level.

5. Paths can go directly up to (and partially under) bridges and houses to get a nicer look. The same is not true for inclines or shops (at least not nook's cranny).

Man, I hate the multiplayer so much. I got turnips for 92, so my girlfriend comes to my island to buy. We're both jsut in the couch, slowly doing stuff in the island, I end up getting enough eggs for the final bunny things. Her console goes idle so it kicks her out and reverts it to before she even got in the island. Forty minutes lost, she's got no turnips now.

Do you need a terribly garish rainbow CATERPILLAR COSTUME for the Bunny Day festivities today? Of course you do!



I have almost all the Bunny Day Recipes sitting out on benches on the beach (to the left of the airport), so please take them and learn them all if you haven't already! I also have a couple other on-request DIY's in my house's upstairs.

Turnips are being sold for 96 apiece, so don't bother there.

Timmy and Tommy are selling yellow pop-up toasters, blue metronomes, 1x towel rack, 1x rebel gnome (sharing it as a for-touching leaf instead now), cherries, R/Y hyacinth seeds, and W/Y mum and tulip seeds.

Come save me from the balloon onslaught by joining!

When people talk about going to an island and touching stuff, what is that? Literally going up and pressing A so your character touches it? And then you can order whatever it is from the catalogue?

You have to pick it up and put it back down so it can be able to be ordered from the kiosk.

If you hold a leaf item (even for a second) you put its entry in your nook catalog, and then (so long as it's not a crafted item) you can order your own via your Nook terminal.

Probably should just be in and out any time you do turnip stuff, but yeah, it's real dumb they didn't really plan around the fact that the switch is (often) a handheld system and could be easily prone to stuff like losing connection, going to sleep etc. The only time you get saves in MP is when someone joins or leaves.

Turnips are 91 bells. 364,000 if you want a full bag. Last seen on the Eastern side, close to the houses. Southern Hempisphere with as much apples as you want. Open for the next 3 hours (or until my internet craps out).

Still open for another hour and a half. Daisy is in the northeast. There's a bridge in the north to reach her.

Closed. Thanks for visiting and the gifts.

they always sit on the "real" surface you place them on and will erase any paths underneath them.

Is there a decent place where you can find out how to turn a bit of actual music into your town tune? It's probably impossible, on further thought, but I kinda want something that sounds like Clair Dé Lune.

For some reason my hourly music seems bugged - occasionally the hour will strike and the music won’t change. It seems to happen if I go inside during the bell tolling. Even a save and restart doesn’t fix it. Weird.

Ankha was sitting by herself during the festivities, so I tried chatting her up a bit . . .



. . . it did not go well and she left the bench shortly after.

The stuff that opens up today is:
Arch DIY (given to you)
Zipper Bobble Toy DIY (Craft everything else minus clothes)
Egg Wand DIY (Craft Bobble toy)
Bunny Day Basket (give Zipper one of each egg) - you can keep giving him more for more baskets.

as well as the ability to exchange 3 eggs for 1 egg of another type?
