I got my former ACNL dream villager Hugh on my second island adventure :woop: He's a blue piggy and he has my birthday :3:

Then I bumped into another pig almost straight away. Wasn't planning on making the island as piggy as Cleyra used to be, but I guess it's inevitable

Can't find a stringfish :(

It's the rivers on the higher tiers, right? The pool at the beginning included?

Yeah I'm in England so it's the right time for them. Only til 9pm? That's annoying. My town only has a tiny bit of hilltop river.

Can confirm stringfish are til 9 am. Almost didn't go for that big shadow in the river, good thing I did

Similarly, I've yet to find a conclusive answer on whether the second tier of the island *also* counts as "clifftop" or if it *has* to be the third tier if I want to catch a Stringfish. While I'm posting, is there any way to make fish bait faster?

The second tier is clifftop, I caught a stringfish below the waterfall there yesterday.

Coming from New Leaf, I gotta say I really appreciate how weird the villagers are. I have this chicken who was aggressively dusting everything and avoiding eye contact when I visited her house, and I have Bam who is just a lot stranger than before. Gave me a jungle floor because he saw it in a dehydration vision. I love this dumb chill game.

I followed Goose, without a net, following a butterfly around for like 5 minutes :3:

No, seems like it's always 3, so go find someone cute if you're worried

So one of my new neighbors is Nate.



I like Nate.



Nate is a bit eccentric, but that's what makes him so charming.



Nate also loves bugs.



Maybe a little too much.



But I'm glad Nate is here all the same.

Haaa my bff Hugh is like this too, I love lazy villagers so much this game. In NL I favoured smugs, I haven't met one yet in NH, hope they're just as good

So far the only villager I've found cool enough to invite over is Coco, the rabbit that looks like she's made of ginger bread or something. I haven't talked to Nook about building three houses yet though.

She's a gyroid bunny and I love her creepy empty face, you're so lucky. She was one of my best pals in NL. Actually she's still there but I can never go back to NL because of how all my friends berate me for disappearing :(

I don't think Goose is coping well with island life. He hasn't left his house in three days, just stands at his workbench hammering away. Can animals have depression? He keeps giving me recipes though which is nice

It is! You can just catch it later when it comes back in season. I can never be bothered to hunt for all the fish and insects each months; it’s far too unchill.

My mandatory camper was Marshall. He seems like kind of a tool, I’ll be shipping him out ASAP.

He's like the most popular villager. You could sell him probably

I had him in NL, he's pretty cute.

Every day since I got the museum, I've only gotten 1 new fossil and 3 dupe fossils among my daily 4

Really? I've definitely had days where I've handed in two or three new ones. Did you donate a whole bunch on museum day 1?

I have Kicks in the town square selling some slippers, clogs, compression tights(?), socks, handbags and backpacks if anyone want to check it out.

Dodo code: JSWXX

Note that the bags do not increase inventory, they're just cosmetic. There's also some fruit around on trees. Would love any seeds you could bring :)

Oh I'm so happy Kicks is back :3: I assume this is post-Able shop?

Had my first camper visit so I went to say hi. They immediately wanted to move in and I had no option to say no. Nook asked me to build a house, so I waited a day to see if the request would pass but nope. Camper is there forever until you build them a house apparently. That is extremely annoying.

Yeah no it's always (?) a smug villager and you're still in the tutorial, gotta take 'em. If it was Chops you're a loving fool but then I haven't yet seen my favourite best friend so he might not even be in the game :ohdear:

I found a new villager! I never heard of him before, his name's Crackle and he's kind of an ugly lazy pig, but I love pigs so welcome to my island, friend. Even though I already have the best lazy pig and his name is Hugh.

e: He's called Spork in other regions! Huh fancy that

Do villagers still ask you to change their catchphrase or their nicknames for you? I've had nothing of that so far, when they ping me it's always for reactions (rip that weird guy who I fed fruit to) or to give me stuff.

Because there's so many random possibilities for villagers, is it worth picking a villager on a nook island with the intention of trading them away? I found Zucker. I have no feelings about this guy, already have Octavian, but as consisting picking him up anyways.

Why do so many people have this amazing takoyaki octopus?!

it has to be 5 on the same day

specifically, there will always be 5 randomly placed wasps per day on your island and if you shake them out and catch all of them you get the reward :v:

No it doesn't, I got it the other day after catching 2 wasps that day and 3 the day before

are you sure you didn't catch wasps on islands (thanks RCarr I didn't know about this!)? I had pretty much never been stung by a wasp and I only got the achievement after specifically catching 5 on the same day, and any info I can find on it backs this up.

I hadn't been to an island, I shook two trees, caught two wasps and got the achievement, so I dunno.

Wish I had Pietro :( I got a boring frog for my mandatory smug.

Although I got ugly boy Rasher moving in once I invite him to camp one more time. Ugly villagers are underrated.

Boring frog Henry did ask me to do my first treasure hunt today though so I don't hate him. My KK concert is tomorrow. Two smugs, two lazies, a normal, an uchi, a peppy, a jock, and soon a cranky. Just need a snooty. Always liked snooties more than uchis but clearly crankies and lazies are the best. They really made lazies super cute in this, Hugh just keeps coming out with amazing things that make me love him more :3:

Player 2 can indeed terraform. All 5 wasps need to be done in the same day. My will be done

I had like 50,000 nook miles so my partner opened up our last villager plot this morning and I spent hours trying to find one of a few villagers that we were interested in.

Rejected villagers:
Biff
Hippeux the horrible trump hippo
Papi
Raddle
Pashmina
Apollo
Hippeux again like a loving bad dream
Marina
Winnie
Coco the cursed rabbit golem
Boyd
Alli
Cashmere
Rooney
Greta
Cranston
Soleil

Then finally I got a villager with my irl name so he was a must-add

Wow Marina and Coco are two of the most wanted, you hosed up rejecting those two. They're also both really good, I've never had Marina but had Coco in NL and she's a sweetheart. I hope in the future you get Hippeaux as a random :mad:

e: was your villager irl name Jay bc that's my name and I was stoked in NL to get that dumb jock bird, it'd be good to see him again in this one

I think people are overreacting a bit in some regards. You'd think it was the last day to catch a number of fish, but nope. It was the very first day for fish that will be around for months and people were freaking out that they couldn't knock them all out on the first day. This game should be chill, not a race. There's plenty of time to catch those fish.

For me it's because I really want the cherry blossom things and having egg balloons spawning every minute across the island makes me more likely to miss the real ones. And it's harder to catch fish for money. It's not awful otherwise.

I don't have online so I think the worst shame is that I can't get pears or peaches or various flowers without paying money. I mean I'll get it eventually because I can afford it, but it really doesn't seem fair to gate basic things like fruits and flowers behind payment

I can't remember, I know there's a low probability of finding a different fruit on Nook islands, but is it limited to just one alternate? Online's a good deal in general since it's cheap, but it seems weird to not have at least some way to eventually collect more of the other varieties without it.

I've only ever found cherries on islands, and then only once or twice :( And I've never seen roses or mums so I don't know how that works. I'm sure it'll be a thing later, but it sucks to wait. Again I can afford online so it's by my choosing but I'm sure others aren't in the same position, it feels strange to be so restrictive.

e: the switch belongs to my partner who isn't playing the game but wants to. everything online asks me to link my own nintendo profile, which will be permanently assigned to this console. I have a nintendo account but don't want to link it if it locks my partner out of other things?
