Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful.

Yeah I agree. I’m even lazier actually, in that I have only one open area in my island so the snowballs always spawn there, and most of it’s covered in 6 x 10 grid of checkerboard light / dark dirt squares so I can just keep making snow boys in the same place easily.

That’s correct. Only the first one you build will give you something, even if his proportions are off, just as like a sympathy gift for loving up. Also yes it’s only one per day.

Ah...ok I was wondering what was up- I made my first snowboy yesterday and his portions were off and he gave me bupkiss. Today I made a perfect one and got the big snowflake and the Snow Scuplture DIY. THen when you mentioned only the first one you make gives you something even if you gently caress up I remembered back in August when swimming became available I was curious if swimming was still available in the dead of winter and time traveled to December to check it out. While there I made a snowman, so that was my first one. (He gave me the popsicle DIY which went better on the beach area in the summer anyway).

Thanks!

Edit: is there a maximum number of DIYs you can get by balloon each day? If it’s 2 or something and I already get that number I don’t want to bother running after another if it’s just going to probably give me some clay or a blender

I don’t think there’s a limit tbh, I got 4 of the snowflake DIYs on the 11th from balloons and I think I’ve gotten the last couple over the weekend (how many are there from balloons again?)

I keep waiting for autosave so I can retry if I mess it up, but aside from the very first one, all of mine have come out perfect, even when not at max size :smug:

Not sure if there's a max, but when hunting balloons before the mushroom recipes went away the next day, I managed five in about 2 and a half hours (with the last three being in a row). It would have taken a lot longer than that if I hadn't spent a while dropping a mess of jail bars on my western coastline. :)


Ornaments drop from cedar trees that have holiday lights on them. The chance for that to happen doesn't start until tomorrow (Dec. 15th).

Really? Because I'm 4/5 (first was a near-perfect) on Snowboys, and that takes me 3 minutes to get both a DIY and one of the materials to craft it with. I can also get another DIY for my alt account, and cheese it by time traveling.


Meanwhile, without proper setup, monitoring, active effort, and huge luck, getting presents through balloons is a nightmare. With the proper setup, it's still a really bad recurring dream, like missing your final exam or something.

Fiorina’s Nooks has a white kids tent in stock today, along with a white and silver serving cart, a blue punching bag, an antique phone, and unlimited judge’s bells and green pedal boards.

Ables has Santa coats (!), sushi chef outfits, yodel sweaters, down skirts, boa parkas, festive-tree dresses, Hakama with crest, marble-print dresses, Aran-knit caps, Santa hats, flower sunglasses, Santa beards (holy poo poo you can just become Santa!), horizontal striped tights, and cute sneakers.

Snowboys are being very generous and leaving out presents for all the good boys and girls who visit Fiorina, so take a gift on your travels!

I had that problem yesterday, it's because the snowboy jumps to one side as it forms so it can't be too close to anything.

Just popping in to ask a question, but are the toy items locked to only one color per island? I've had the tent and the puppy twice and both have been black each time, and I can't customize them to another color. :(

And I wouldn't mind balloon event recipes so much if they didn't rely on that method of handing out event recipes so much, especially having so many different recipes suddenly available for a limited time via the same method. Let villagers give me them, let 'em wash up on the beach, let a snowflake turn out to be a recipe now and then or have a recipe drop from an ornament tree or something!

Yeah, they are, you just get one colour.

I remember some of the early recipes being things your character thought of when picking up certain items, I'd like that to keep being a thing. The villagers can be struck with random inspiration, why can't I look at an ornament I just picked up and think of something cool to do with it?

This should be how every seasonal recipe is acquired, it makes so much more sense and is more reliable.

Question on these stupid snowballs: I don’t want them to spawn where they’ve been doing so anymore. I destroyed the balls I had and there’s only three snow boys left there. I paved the entire area, reset my game, and I still don’t have my snowballs back. Did I miss something? I have 2 more large areas of open snow where they COULD spawn but they refused to spawn until I removed the pathing.

I’ve resorted to doing that since someone came to my island about a month ago and picked the flowers on my friend’s grave. But then late last week I had my gates open (with the code only in the PGS thread) I had gifts out at the entrance for people to take and there were 5 left when I went to my house to put something in storage. Then someone arrived so I went out to greet them and they’d taken all 5 of the loving gifts so there was nothing left for anyone else who arrived after them. Dick. loving. Move.

Someone took all the gifts on my island back in October too and a few things went missing from the cataloguing area. Both times the code was PGS only. I wasn't paying enough attention to know who it was either time but it has meant I mostly only post codes in the discord now unless I'm around to keep an eye on things.

I think you can pretty easily get a perfect small snowboy by rolling one ball up and keeping the second one in the smallest state, they won't merge when you try to combine until you breach some threshold for the right proportions. What the gently caress am I writing

It is complete bullshit that you can’t combine the red clown nose and the reindeer hood to make a Rudolph outfit. One is headwear and the other is “glasses” so they shouldn’t overlap at all.

To add insult to injury, you can combine any actual glasses with the hood.
