Animal crossing friends thread

I caught it in trash. I saw one a few days before on trash so maybe it’s every 2/3 days? I just put my trash together though just to check one spot. Not sure if that makes it more likely.

Has anyone got any tips on catching a fly? I have quite a lot of ‘trash’ dotted around my island but I haven’t seen a fly yet!

Welcome dragon. Very sensible to control your own island.

Oh well done. I'm still looking for a mahi mahi.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yay!

Thanks @atowelandapotato - I actually met up with a friend online last night and we got all our missing fruits! Just waiting for them to grow now :)

Oh, meant to say, I have all the fruits and bamboo if anyone needs anything.

Hi everyone, can I join you all?

We love animal crossing here. My dc play on the main switch, and I play on my switch lite, so they can merrily run riot with the island designer app, while I get to lovingly create my own island paradise 😂

I’ve only just started with my own island, but I’m slowly getting there. It’s nice being able to visit our islands on local play, but it would also be great to visit other people too.

My ds is currently annoyed with me as I just had Raymond turn up at my campsite (first visitor!) and apparently he is really rare.

Dd and ds are having an ongoing battle over which villagers should stay and which should go - ds wants a whole island of elephants I think, and dd is opposing this (mostly just because she can!)

@Elladisenchanted have you managed to get your fruit yet? I will be online later today if you still need anything? Just PM me

I got mine during lockdown and have achieved a 5star rating twice as I have two lily of the valley flowers. No idea how I did it - must've done something right a couple of times 😃 I have joined a FB group and managed to travel to someone's island to get my last fruit which was cherries. Luckily my DD (19) plays and has lots of friends so has helped me out but I don't feel right in making friends with her friends so have also joined another FB chat for people of a certain age so we can travel to each others islands. Loving the game and glad I upgraded from Wild World 😂

Thanks @Firefly89 that totally hasn’t occurred to me until just after i hit post and then it was too late.

@MiddleClassProblem thanks for the tips. DS wouldn’t be able to read too much info either. I will definitely look at Mario kart.

I think she would get bored playing alone but we are going to play together soon. She loves mario kart though so o would recommend that. It’s one you can do together but also they can do on their own whilst you are busy.

Spelt. Not kept.

I'm placemarking on behalf of DS1, who's getting a Switch for his birthday. He loves Animal Crossing on my mum's old DS. I even have anAnimal Crossing username, although DS tells me I've kept it wrong

So my 'little' island renovation has resulted in a complete remodel of my orchard. All new fruit trees are planted in neat rows and lovingly fenced in.

@Ilovecheese53 I'd imagine that age would enjoy it but might need some help (there's a lot of reading) and to start with it's quite slow moving before you get anywhere. You have to wait 2-3 actual days for things to grow, villagers to move in etc.

I had my friends DC (both boys) for a weekend in the summer and let them play mine, the nearly 8 year old who is very precise and patient I could see would have stuck at it, his almost 5 at the time brother loved the catching fish and insects, buying/selling in the shop and chopping down all my trees(!) but tired of it generally much faster.

I’ve no idea about the game. But I would be grateful is someone could tell me if it’s any good for a nearly 6 year old? As I’m going to be buying the switch for Xmas and I would appreciate game ideas?

I have all the fruits + bamboo shoots if anyone is in need.

OokSaidTheLibrarian- rocks respawn at a rate of one per day, and rarely in the place they were before, but you will get them back! (love the username by the way)

Count me in. I've only just started and already got in a mess by accidentally destroying my rock's so now i have to wait for them to respawn. Any hints? Im only on day 2, so a long way to go.

I have apples, bamboo and coconuts if anyone needs them, (I have no idea how to get them to you though 😂)

I set up an online account and attached it to my ds’s account...now I’ve joined the island I can’t link to the internet as it says only one user per account- have I got that right? So annoying I put it as ds 🤦🏻‍♀️

Spent ages practising my sneak so I could catch a scorpion and it never showed up 😂. DD is out with her grandparents today so I have an afternoon of serious island renovating planned. My play area is looking distinctly cluttered!

I have all fruits growing in my orchard so if I can help anyone out let me know!
