My permanent cranky is Dobie, so Fang won't be staying forever. But he'll be around for a while and I will give him lots of cute sweaters.

Success! I caught a Golden stag this morning on my island! I've now caught every bug (and terrorized Blathers with them all)!

Wasn't even expecting it, but hey, I'm happy. Someday I may try for more of the rare bastards for models, but for now I'm satisfied.

Now if only Redd would bring more art I actually need for my museum...

Turnips just spiked up to 533 bells on Varmheim, so if you missed out yesterday, here's another shot for you to turn a profit.

Edit: Island is closed for now. Still about six hours left before Nook's Cranny closes for the day, so either toss me a PM or drop a line in here if you still need to sell and I'll try and open back up for you.

I will never let Raymond or Coco leave and I don't want to split up Chrissy and Francine. I think Raymond was my first tent visitor, actually.

I don't know why I'm posting this other than I'm bored at work and would rather be playing ACNH!

I think the limited items that are now in the Nook shopping app were the last of the additions from the most recent patch. They might do an update at the end of the month to maybe add a little something to the future reworks event and some more seasonal shopping app stuff. Who knows if or when they will update with actual new events or features. There’s stuff that was data mined forever ago that never materialized.

It's wild how there's just... Nothing. This is Nintendo's tenth best selling game. Not tenth best on the Switch, tenth best of all time. And it's a game based around an update-friendly structure, in the live service era. But there's no sign of anything coming.

I’m just running on the assumption that the team is probably busy with Splatoon 3 and that things will pick back up a bit once that’s done. I’m honestly happy with the game as it is right now - any additional items/features are just a bonus to me :shobon:

Celeste is back to visit Mau-Mau again! I have her trapped in the usual spot (where Godzilla fights the T. Rex) or you can just take the warp pipe.

Saharah is around somewhere, too.

Turnips are 179.

CLOSED

DIYs are more organized than last time. Surfboard and Retro fan cataloging is to the right of the airport across the bridge.

Buy what you want at Nooks and Ables.

If it's on the ground and/or in a tree, you can take it.

I'll be AFK but checking on the connection periodically.

Hello, I'm kind of doing things sideways and backwards.

First, finally bought an account after lurking on and off for years. Not this thread, though.

Second...I don't actually have an island yet.

I played a lot of Wild World. PerhapsDefinitely too much. I didn't allow myself to play New Leaf because I was afraid of becoming addicted again, but now I think I can handle it, as I have come a long way since then.

So I'm ready to get started soon, but I want to kind of preplan as much as possible because I'm a perfectionist. What makes a good island? Where's the optimum placement of the unmovable buildings? What are the unobvious things I should be considering?


...is there a better place to be asking than here?

I can share my thoughts as someone who started ACNH knowing absolutely nothing about the older games.

The only unmovable buildings are the airport and Residential Services. My Residential Services is super close to the airport, which sucks if you want to build a really fancy island "entrance." You also can't change the color of the airport building.

You can't change the location of your two river mouths or the secret beach (where Redd parks his boat). I chose one of the south river layouts and I feel like it limits my design options because the river mouths are quite close to each other, but that's just my gut feeling.

IMO, it can be helpful to pre-plan whether you want your villagers' houses to be close together or spread out. I have mine close together because I like having a sort of "town" feeling, but spreading them out allows you to decorate around their houses. Of course, you can move their houses later, but it costs bells and time. You can put houses on the beaches, so that's also something to keep in mind.

One frustrating thing is that you can't move a building into a space that overlaps with its current spot. You have to move it all the way out of the way, and then move it back.

If you like a really symmetrical layout, be sure to look up the sizes of things before you get in too deep. For example, the museum building is notoriously hard to center with anything else because it's 7 squares wide.

The Racoon Goons Discord is an awesome place to ask questions, visit other islands, etc. People are super generous. I know I have a beach full of DIY cards I would be happy to give away. My enjoyment of the game went up a TON when I started visiting other people's islands.

Turnip Exchange can be a bit annoying, but it's a good way to make bells. People on the Discord also sometimes open their islands when they have good turnip prices, but Turnip Exchange can be faster because there's pretty much always someone open no matter the time of day.
