Gonna be sharing an island with my husband and it's gonna be great!  He has his own Switch, but we're sharing because he likes designing things but gets burned out on the daily stuff. I like doing the daily stuff and making slow progress, but I'm rubbish at designing things.Therefore, together we will make the best island the world has ever seen! Just stuck on what to name it. Help.

I can decorate houses OK (I loved Happy Home Designer!) but designing paths and deciding where things go and overall aesthetic makes my brain hurt.

Husband and I were planning to set up the island like a Polynesian resort. With the terraforming and placing villager houses, we could even have different "tiers" of houses like you would at a resort. Villager we like? Oh he gets a house on the beach, or even the overwater bungalo~. Villagers we don't like get the cheaper rooms with no ocean view.

I imagine it'll be like the system they implemented in the Welcome Amiibo expansion for New Leaf, where you'd have daily and weekly tasks to complete that award coupons (tickets?) that you could exchange for goods at the campground. The tasks were usually quite easy to do, and you got a new set every day/week.

If it uses the furniture from Happy Home designer, canned goods are a thing you can get for sure. Unsure about toilet paper, but you could maybe get some cardboard boxes and pretend they contain toilet paper?

GoodBee posted:So who is going to name their island BONE ZONE and fill it with fossils and/or dicks? I'm sharing my island with my husband, and it's definitely going to be called some variant of Bone Zone, on suggestion from folks earlier when I asked for island name suggestions. Probably won't carry it that far, though. In fact I was thinking I'd call it Le BonZone, as we're going to make the island look like a Polynesian resort. Bon is French for good and it's pronounced like bone. Plausible deniability! Maybe we can put some accents in there too to Frenchify it more. I am getting way too hyped for this game. I realized I could use the other player houses to make resort facilities! Like a gym, or a pool, or a cafe! Hell, how about THEMED restaurants?! Curry restaurant, spooky restaurant, smoothie bar by the beach?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA help this game is going to consume my life.

I played and loved Happy Home Designer. Here's hoping the extra decoration/crafting along with not playing in a tiny screen is conducive to island vacationing. I loved Happy Home Designer too! Being able to put decorations outside in NH has me so so extremely pumped it's not even funny! But yeah don't min/max Animal Crossing. It is not the kind of game for doing that. Just chill and relax.Anybody is welcome to LeBonZone, to chill and grab a smoothie and/or relax on the beach. Just as soon as I get the smoothie bar built, anyway.

RC Cola posted:Animal Crossing New Horizons question. If my wife and I each get our own copy of the game, will we be able to use the the same island and play with each other? Or is it more that we each have our own separate islands and can just visit each other sometimes? It's less a matter of having your own copy of the game and more whether you each have your own Switch. If you want to be able to share the island and play together all the time, you want to both use the same Switch. Make a character for your wife using a different profile, and you can both run around at the same time doing stuff on the island. If you both have your own Switches and each have a copy of the game, you'd each get your own island, and you'd be able to visit each other locally or online. Which one you do depends on whether you both want to have your own island. Personally, my husband has his own Switch Lite but we're going to share an island on my Switch. He likes designing and planning, but gets burned out on the daily stuff pretty quick. I like doing the daily stuff and making slow progress, but I'm rubbish at designing. I love to decorate though! I figure together we can make a gorgeous island.

d3lness posted:From the experienced villagers out there, what do you usually do during the first week or so considering the slow startup and burn of the game? Is the first leg of gameplay just meeting citizens, getting tools, and selling fruit? Animal Crossing is a chill game. You just chill. Probably you'll want to get your basic tools so you can start skipping through the fields catching butterflies right away. Also fishing. Other than that, chill. Explore your island, catch bugs and fish, chat up your neighbors. Think about where you want to put things. Visit other people's islands, steal their fruit, and bother their villagers. You can plant other people's fruit in your own town, and- if it works the same as it did in all the other games, you can sell the fruit from those trees for a lot more than your native fruit goes for. But I can't emphasize enough that this is not a game you min/max. Just chill.

Welp, husband and I were already working from home this week. Buuuuut I just found out that the aquarium I volunteer at every Friday is closing. Only essential animal care personnel are to go in, as the fish still need to eat, obv. Sucks, but that means I can stay home and play Animal Crossing all day instead of getting up at rear end o'clock, driving for an hour, and chopping up fish for hours!

Minrad posted:For fellow third shifters: do ya'll just deal with events taking place around noon being hard to do, or do you set your town clock forward like 8 hours so it's in the AM in game when you wake up? I'm not a third shifter, but I have opinions! I say play the game the way you want to. Make it adhere to your schedule. If that means timeshifting it by 8 hours so that it's morning in the game when you wake up, etc. then do that! You're a grown-rear end adult with a job and poo poo. You shouldn't have to miss out on stuff in the game because you don't have a 9-5 or whatnot.

Ivan Dolvich posted:So I just ordered my partner a Switch lite. We're planning on playing Animal crossing together and I've read there are some restrictions on that and also having multiple switches in the same household. I figure we'll have to get 2 copies of any game we would want to play together at the same time (assuming we each play on our own switch), including Animal Crossing. But for other games, does anyone know the best way to set it up so that we can play the games I already own on both machines (not at same time)? I read some stuff about setting a primary switch but it was a bit confusing. Also, we each have a profile on my current switch, can we use the same profiles on the new one? And how does that work for games we have 2 copies of? Does one have to be bought with each profile? All right, by far the easiest way to share games between you is to get them physical. Pass them back and forth as you like. Your save is stored locally on your Switch, easy peasy. If the games are digital, it's a bit trickier but doable. You're correct that you'd have to designate a Switch as your primary. Whichever Switch is the primary would not need an Internet connection to load a game. Ideally, that should be the Switch Lite, as it's the portable one. Your dockable Switch is more likely to have an Internet connection. So, for a game you want to share, the primary user has to buy it. Then, any secondary accounts on that Switch can play that game. If the non-primary account bought a game, only that account can play it. Does that make sense?

alarumklok posted:I'm glad this is coming out Friday because I'm already going insane from working from home and it's been two days. Unsure what fruit I would like to have. Cherries or peaches would be the most thematic for an Island called Le BonZone, but I'm not terribly picky. For native fruit I've had Pears, Apples, and Cherries in the past. Something different might be nice, but again, not fussed.

Johnny Joestar posted:for your own island it's mainly aesthetics. fruits from other people's games will sell for a lot more. also only your native fruit can grow into special better ones, iirc, which sell for more, but imported fruits will sell more at a baseline. I only have experience with New Leaf. If it's the same in New Horizon, if you acquire some Perfect non-native fruit from another town, you can totally plant it in your own town. I had a haunted house surrounded by Perfect Apple trees.

Been setting up plots to welcome new residents to Le BonZone today! Starting villagers were Renee the rhino and Antonio the anteater. Not great, not horrible. I went to a bunch of rando islands yesterday to get materials for the shop. None of the villagers there looked particularly cool or interesting so I didn't talk to them. Today my husband spent his free Nook Miles Ticket and hey! It's Savannah! Savannah is cool. I asked him to invite her. So cool we have Savannah. I go to the next rando island and there's a blue rhino wandering around. Husband thought he was cute and asked me to invite him. Ok great so now we have two rhinos, an anteater, and a zebra. Kind of an African animals theme going on here... ok that's kind of cool. I get back home and notice one of the plots is sold! Name is Bubbles. The name didn't ring a bell so I looked it up. Bubbles is a hippo! That is actually really eerie.

I my goodness. I love this!  This is just the kind of thing I want to do with my island! When you have the capability, (maybe even right now?!) you should lay down some patterns (or paths?) inside the fence to make it look like an outdoor patio. I'm rubbish at making patterns or I would suggest something specific. Maybe some nice gray cobblestone or something? Anyway it looks great and I love it.Adding my +1 to "Omg the museum is incredible!" count. It's amazing. It's beautiful! I love it so much! Aaaaa I love this game! And lastly, what I actually came here to post: I opened my gates for awhile last night just to let people come and go. Didn't advertise it cuz I din't want things to get toooo crazy.

Some fruits can prove elusive if you're trying to collect the rest of the fruits. I am willing to share the apple wealth. Nothing will happen to your apples unless you chop down all your apple trees, and even then you guy buy apples from the Nook store for 400 Bells a pop.

ZeusCannon posted:You can cut down trees? I thought they were immortal. I clearly need to play more Yeah, the "Axe," as opposed to a Stone Axe, will chop down trees if you hit them 3 times with it. If you want to move a tree without killing it, you can eat a fruit and dig it up with a shovel to plant elsewhere. If you chop down a tree, it leaves behind a stump, which you can dig up with a shovel. But certain bugs spawn on top of stumps, so maybe leave a few. Stumps can also be sat upon, if you want some seating around your campfire or whatnot with a more rustic feel.

Will the Nooklings sell different colors every day cause they sure haven't yet. I found some blue flowers on a rando island. I dug them up and planted them on my island. I've seen several with unique flower colors without really scumming for them. You can also hybridize flowers into different colors if you plant them next to each other and water them.

I let the game idle for a bit while I went to make tea, heard a funny noise and went to check. Renee was standing in the plaza singing, while Hornsby was staring intently at a pansy with an ID book out. At least I assume that's what it was. It was just staring at that pansy, with a book in his hand, like it contained the secrets of the universe. Then I moved down a little bit and Antonio was sitting on a stump nearby, just taking it all in. I waved to him and he waved back. I love this game.

Huh, well here's something I didn't know could happen. Just was visiting C.E. Croix's island, bothering their villagers, like I do. Got to Drift the frog, who was hammering furiously at his workbench. Talked to him a couple times and he said he was making a Beekeeping Hive and offered to teach me the recipe! I've had my own villagers do that, but I didn't know you could learn recipes from other people's villagers! That's cool.
