I’m wondering what I should do with my island. The southern half is where all my houses and shops are, and I’ve left the rest pretty much untamed with the exception of a small graveyard, a cliff top stargazing spot and some patches of all kinds of flowers for breeding purposes. There are also lots of fruit trees everywhere since I’ve segmented my island into a few different “zones” so I can harvest all the fruit in a zone each day.

It’s taken so long to get terraforming that now that I have it, I’m pretty used to my island as it is. All I’ve really done with terraforming is lay paths and adjust the shape of my ponds.

I’ve got an island that has the “island within an island” thing, and I’d like to do something cool with that, but I can’t really think of anything I wanna do...

WOULD YOU ACCOMPANY ME ON A BRISK WALK? I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU!!


What I did was give myself cliff rivers. I only had tiny cliff rivers, ao I rerouted stuff and made a ton of cliffs and redid a lot so that I had at least some length of cliff rivers. It makes catching cliff fish possible without using bait. As I did that, I got a couple other ideas. There's a canyon (it can be hopped over) to get to Redd's boat and there's a secret boxing gym that comes off of that. It's still way more wild than the town itself but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Maybe something like that - give yourself a base concept and go from there.

You found a street organ! You can put it in your outdoor orchestra but it doesn't play music.


The street organ is weird because you have to grab it to make it play:

Ah, dammit, that's my wife's most-wanted villager, and my second-most wanted peppy villager after the flamingo. But of course I have no room.

I haven't had a villager ask to leave in over two weeks, by the way. Every time a villager gets the ... over their head, it's to ask if they can also call me Button. Even if they've already asked and I've refused. I genuinely suspect at this point that I can't have villagers ask to leave until all of them are calling me Button.

Aw nuts!

I’m having the same issue — Sprinkle moving out was an amiibo boot. I really wanna play Nook Island roulette again with my hoard of two weeks’ worth of Nook miles but no dice. Kevin asked to move out exactly two weeks ago. I’ve had three move out requests total since the game came out, playing every day, so I figured it was on a regular timer. But maybe not? Anyone having villagers ask to move out lately?

Does anyone know if the villager requests where they want a specific type of fish or bug expire overnight? Is there any sort of penalty to not doing it? This bitch on my island wants a goldfish and all I'm getting are frogs and killifish in 2 stacks of bait.

I don't know if there's a time limit, but when they want me to deliver some guy's shirt that got left at their house for some reason, if it's late at night they'll say "well, it's late, but could you do it tomorrow?".

No penalty. They might like you more if you do it and give you a treat in return.

Funny story in regards to the delivery type quest you just mentioned - Ellie and Pippy got into a fight of some sort and Ellie wanted to send an apology gift to Pippy and have me deliver. It was a Baby Chick Costume, that Pippy put on *immediately*.. In return, Pippy gave me one of her default outfits, which is this kind of drab brown tanktop.. She even noted that her gift to me was the shirt she was just wearing. It's just called "Tank". I don't think you could get this any other way. Their behavior is just bizarre.. "Thanks for delivering this gift! Have the grody shirt I was just wearing as a reward."

Chops is in boxes. If anyone is in the market for a pig dressed like a Musketeer he's all yours.

Simon is crafting sauna heaters. He's in the back middle.

Leif has azaleas and hydrangeas. Nothing too special in Able's that I noticed. Nook's has a paper tiger and a tambourine.

        PEEP THIS...
           BITCH!

Its odd to me that people struggle to get 5 stars, when I jumped from like 2 stars one day to 5 the next time I checked in. Not even 100% sure what I changed that day, besides picking up "free stuff" pile, I think I might have also randomly placed a bunch of the high value nook miles items that i'd been collecting in storage. I basically just ordered one of everything :shrug:

Oh, I had a new villager moving in at the time (i was still one or two away from filling up to 10 residents that day iirc).
And I had been making a new bridge/incline eachy day at that point, to reach all the places without poles/ladders.

I guess I'm not too fussed about a cluttered island, and I still don't have much of a vision as far as terraforming/relocating stuff, but the main takeaway seems to be that those nook mile objects, bridges/inclines, and occupancy are a big deal.

Also, for those that want to keep 5 stars without visual clutter, I've heard that you can basically line the rear ledge of your island with hay beds where they cant even be seen, and the game will love it apparently (at least that satisfies the "crafted items" part I suppose).

There's always been gender mishaps in AC. In New Leaf the Uchii villagers often got referenced with male pronouns despite them all supposedly being female and I think Sprinkle and some others were caught up in that as well.

Just ask Sprinkle what pronoun they prefer and go with that and don't think about it beyond that because gender is a meaningless construct.

I mean, it's largely about what you want your island to look like. If you want to build a more modern town, then 5 stars isn't that hard because you're going to be putting down street lights, pools, snack machines, fountains, etc.

Personally I like the rustic/ruins look I've got going on, so I've been having a hard time getting my star rating up. I got to 4 stars when I made a ton of graves and started sprinkling them in among the forests, but it's been a struggle finding more stuff that fits my aesthetic. Sure, I could just dump a bunch of stuff out of my house onto the cliffs I'm not using, but I'd rather get to 5 stars with a layout that makes me happy, instead of with one I'm going to tear down as soon as I get the watering can.
