Mind if I join in?
I’ve been playing on DD island.
Basically I do all the work and she gets the credit!

Hi all. Is this thread still running? Got me and the DCs a switch for Xmas and ACNH was one of the game family gave us. I've been playing for about a week now and am a bit obsessed. Annoyingly I paid for the family online membership so DS could play with his friends then realised none of mine played. Would love to swap friend codes if anyone is up for that. I feel like MN users will probably be fairly safe for me to add as opposed to a bunch of 8 year old boys....
I just started playing in the last week.. Bought myself a switch lite so I wouldn't have to use DS account and I could do more stuff to the island!! Feel free to PM and I can give you my friend code.. I've no friends IRL that play either so I just added from another post here :)

Have you considered buying animal crossing bells?

TroubleInSnowland · 21/01/2021 14:03

Anybody got turnips selling at a decent price and would be happy to share their code. Dd is on a decreasing week and feeling unhappy.

HarrietOh · 15/01/2021 15:23

I've just started playing yesterday! Can tell I'll become obsessed.... definitely up for swapping Dodo codes so I can visit other people's islands.

@DearPrudence love your island, all the little zones are great! Who is the prison cell for? 😅

Well on the last day of November I’ve managed to catch not one, but two, ‘walking sticks’ very pleased!

@GalaxyCookieCrumble

Can you play this on a IPad? I'm looking for another game to play seen I'm shielding and bored. I play Family Farm Seaside which I just love, and Covet Fashion, but I have heard so many good things about Animal Crossing it's peaked my interest!
There is an animal crossing pocket camp version on an iPad/iPhone. I’ve not played it but I think it’s just a basic version of the switch game

Hi everyone, just started with animal crossing and loving it so far! There's been some great advice on this thread.

Quick sneaky question please. I've just upgraded to a house and now owe 98,000 bells. Does it affect gameplay if you never pay it back? I doubt I'll upgrade after this but you never know. Will Nook send the bailiffs round or am I good? Grin

There is no consequence to not repaying Nook but each time you upgrade you get more storage and more space in your house which can be useful

[quote hazeydays14]@DearPrudence I love your science centre 😍 and all the street names. Lots of inspo for my island which is very much a work in progress. Strangely the outside of our houses are identical![/quote]
I feel like it needs layout changes but I'm very chuffed with my science centre. The streets are named after my dogs Grin

You need a Nintendo switch to play

@AllDoneIn

Can someone please explain the thing about spawning trees on mystery islands? And how to spawn bugs?
Did you see the link posted further up the page? Explains it quite well. Basically you need to go to a mystery island and trash it - chop every tree, pick every flower, pick up every weed - so the bugs have nowhere to spawn. Then plant a palm tree (which you take with you) to force it to spawn there. I say all this, I haven’t managed to do it yet!

I got a tarantula last night, actually managed to hit my head on the wall, as it threw it back shouting yes 😅 it was just such a relief after the tension of trying to catch it without mucking up!

DearPrudence · 29/11/2020 14:58

I'm trying for a tarantula tonight.

My dream code if anyone fancies a visit: DA-8500-0377-2493

hazeydays14 · 28/11/2020 21:10

Hi everyone, looking for some friends to visit! Hoping to collect all the fruit (I have peaches, apples, oranges and coconuts)
My island is a mess 😅 but anyone is welcome! Let me know if anyone is online and wants to have a visitor Grin

Squiz81 · 28/11/2020 12:20

Right I will try again! After moaning that the tarantula hadn’t come back he spawned twice last night and both times he attacked me and I didn’t manage to get him 🤪

FedUpWithBriiiiick · 28/11/2020 09:10

I did the same as Ave (lined them up on the beach), and it worked after about 15 mins. Keep trying!

AveEldon · 28/11/2020 08:26

@Squiz81

I tried and it didn’t work. I’m wondering if I did it wrong as I just left one palm tree where it was and I’m now thinking I needed to move it from reading your post. Also tried to spawn a tarantula that

way in the evening - also didn’t work. I’d trashed all the spawn sites but mole crickets kept spawning underground 😬
I have actually caught a tarantula on my island but I was playing as my ds at the time, I haven’t seen another one since I caught that!

I put three palm trees in a row on the beach so I could walk round them without scaring bugs off However it took forever to catch all the other bugs that kept spawning and I was on the verge of giving up when the walking stick appeared
DearPrudence · 27/11/2020 20:26

@iswhois

After 2 weeks of moving everything to the beach, flattening out the whole island and starting from scratch I am done Smile my whole island is renovated!

I would love feedback- the dream address is DA-9221-7688-5875

I've just visited your island - I love it! Especially the beach club, and the farmers market is really cute.

It took 2 mystery island trips but I finally caught a walking stick
I think taking the palm trees is unnecessary - you could just move the ones that are on the island you visit
