Are we all ready for Halloween tomorrow? I'm far too excited Grinmy island is positively swimming in pumpkins and jack o lanterns, I've been saving my candies every daySmile. My little villager is dressing as Lizzie Borden for the big event tomorrow. Animal Crossing is single handedly saving my Halloween! Also, I got a five star rating this morning so I'm eagerly awaiting my lily of the valley as I want that for my memorial area.

Still not caught a scorpion, none have spawned since the stinging incident, none of my villagers have fleas either. I've held back some turnips so I can try and catch a fly. I got ants by leaving out a piece of candy.

Currently I'm working on some little seating areas, and a lab/stargazing area. My orchard is done so my next big job is prettying up my village area where
Most of the houses are. I want to move one of my villagers into the village as well so my cliffs are all aesthetic and such. I'm far to invested in all this. Grin

I’m finally online! No scorpion yet though. If anyone can help me I will repay you big time! I hate these bloody scorpions!

Thanks everyone. Just started up again and we are at a 2 start rating need to tidy up and plant flowers.

I’ve left lots of the trees where they are thinking it looked more natural. Is it best to dig them up and replant in orchards?

If you do the small tasks to earn Nook Miles every day then you will soon get to a 3 star rating. It’s not directly linked but if you follow those, you won’t go far wrong in terms of beautification etc

MiddleClassProblem · 28/10/2020 23:12

No one has fleas on my island! I keep talking their ear off in case some come but nothing.

And I keep buffering up the scorpion with my rubbish aim! Not good under pressure 😂

I think we got KK Slider to come and play when we only had a 3 star island rating.

Definitely put flowers out, make sure weeds etc are tidied up, and I think resident happiness also goes towards island rating, so make sure your residents are happy - talk to them every day and do any tasks they might ask for.

Put flowers down, decorate with items that you make and buy in nooks, fences around the area etc.

I stayed playing mo the ago but haven’t played for ages. I’m still trying to get the band to come to my island. I’ve only got a 1 star rating but don’t know what they want when they say it’s needs beautifying. What’s everyone’s suggests to improve your star rating please

If I leave stuff out that I have made, will DD be able to pick them up and put them in her house?

@mumofone2019 I have apples! How can I send them to you?

JLbaby · 27/10/2020 14:53

Great thanks, will give it a go!

ElfDragon · 27/10/2020 14:34

Thanks, I’ll give it a go (when I get a chance - ds has nicked my Lite and is designing me an island flag and tune. So much for being in control of my own island 🤔😂)

MiddleClassProblem · 27/10/2020 13:45

Yeah. I’ve only seen one fly at a time and they are quite dark in colour so not always easy to spot until they fly and reposition.

ElfDragon · 27/10/2020 13:35

Ah, so if I just leave a few lying about, they should attract flies?

MiddleClassProblem · 27/10/2020 13:24

Things you fish like tyres, cans and boots

ElfDragon · 27/10/2020 13:19

Apart from rotten turnips, what else is classed as trash?

ATowelAndAPotato · 27/10/2020 12:58

Make sure your trash (rotten turnips seem to work best for me) is on a path or somewhere that means ants won’t spawn instead.

Keep your net to hand and wander past just within eyesight but not too close or you might scare the fly off before you can catch it.
They don’t seem to spawn as often as ants so patience is needed!
