without time travel, it took about a third of my island and ~4 months straight before I got one

a key ingredient in the breeding process is the sacrifice of your sanity

What do you do to make money? I don’t wanna sell turnips all the time and I have enough money for now, but I’d like to make money more organically.

Just the usual stuff, really. I dig up and sell fossils (14k-20k per day, depending), I have a 35-plot pumpkin patch (36k every couple of days), have dozens of fruit trees (95k or so, every few days), plant the 10k money-tree each day (20k a day profit), keep an eye on high-value hot-items that are worth a crafting binge (hundreds of thousands, depending on how much I might want to craft), etc.

Doing stuff like that on the regular sees a pretty good income. If I bother to catch fish, bugs, and sea critters, thats all a bonus too (normally just do that for funsies, or nook miles). It all adds up.

Edit: Also, once I ran out of stuff to do with nook miles, I'd maintain a mininum balance of 200k nook miles, and every time that balance reached, say, 210k, I'd print off nook bell tokens to bring the balance back down, and selling those tokens would net another 60k--ish every few days.

Turnips are so much easier. Join the Discord, goons with high selling prices always open up for folks.

Also the correct way to obtain blue roses is to get someone else to visit and plant one, then water it to clone it, because the breeding is a pile of RNG crap and it hates you.

Look, island customization is neat, but losing the roost, gyroids, minigames, fortunetelling, the club, villagers personalities, house customization, 80% of the furniture, most of the big NPC's, Redd, Orders for the town, seasonal events, the campground, scuba diving, tools not breaking, in town events that connected to other towns, and more was not worth it.

They've been slowly adding things back and that's good! But it's still been vastly inferior in almost every way. This big update looks like they're putting most of what I mentioned back in and actually finishing the game and I'm happy about it. Will still lack mini games and a handful of features, but the new stuff balances a bit more.

E: I don't hate new horizons, but I don't think I would of enjoyed it as much if the pandemic didn't lock me to it. Just nothin to ever do.

Thank you goon, I'm supposed to have a large spike myself later but I don't trust it. Paid off your staircase for you.

Let me guess, you sped through most of the game as fast as possible, cleared the goals that are specifically designed to take years in a few months and are now blaming the game for you burning yourself out?

It's fine to not enjoy the game but it's a bit disingenuous to claim there's nothing to do because you personally have finished the things you personally want to do.

Nope, I TT spammed once a good 6 months in just to move houses around so I could get to remaking my island, and recently a few times for the same reason (I moved everything back off the beach in real time though)

Sorry but NH just doesn't have a lot of interesting content to it- especially at launch.

I was fortunate that I never had to grow them myself. I was gifted a few by some kind goons and just helped them spread from there.

I do have to say it's bizarre there's no upgrades for Nook's. I guess the new shopping island will serve the same purpose but I'd rather have Nookington's again.

I guess that with a smaller inventory for sale each day, there's more days to spend checking nooks for things you want.

I would have loved to get almost the opposite of the Beautiful Town ordinance, one that stops your flowers from spreading after the rain (only spread after being watered from a can).

You are asked to find Brewster by Blathers. Take a tour with Cap'nn and you'll find him on an island and he will agree to come and give you a gyroid part. Talk to Blathers afterwards and then the next day the museum is closed for construction. BREWSTER CAFE ARRIVAL ON FRIDAY

Storage expansion costs 🔔70,000. City ordinances cost 🔔20,000

Yes, then water them. A day later you get a Gyroid.

Also; Harv’s Island shops cost 🔔100,000 each to construct

Edit: you can only have one construction at a time happening on Harv’s island. I’m getting Catrina first!!
