I got this for Christmas and I’m in love. Is there a thread/community etc I could join?

I’m usually an AIBU inhabitant so this is a bit new...

@Badgerblu

I do have shooting stars tonight. I'll open gate at 20:30 and will be at the back of my island if anyone wants to join me.
I'll come over smileSmile

Can I bring anything?

I'm getting a bit bored of my villagers, maybe I should encourage some to leave so I can get some different ones

PangoPurrl · 04/02/2021 16:05

You're welcome @lazydaisydaydream ☺️ I just loved everyone I met when I first started! I'm much more discerning now though! I think it's harder to 'shop around' at the beginning as you worry about spending all your Nook miles on flights.

Lazydaisydaydream · 04/02/2021 15:40

@PangoPurrl thanks that makes sense. I am currently in the middle of building the three houses but anytime anyone has asked about moving to the island I’ve just said yes as assumed I didn’t have a choice and they just happened in the same order for everyone haha.

Badgerblu · 04/02/2021 15:23

I think I might have shotting stars tonight if anyone wants to come over, I will open my gates around 20:30.
My two villagers keep mentioning that I have a clear sky and If I'm lucky I should see them tonight, so fingers crossed
@magissa I have pm you.

PangoPurrl · 04/02/2021 11:56

@lazydaisydaydream I don't know how far into the game you are, but once you have your first two residents Tom Nook gives you the opportunity to choose plots for your next three, once you have everything ready you can go to other islands and choose a creature. Each one you visit will have someone camping, if you engage them in conversation you will be able to invite them to move to your Island (or not!) So you just need to keep visiting islands until you meet someone you want to invite. If you don't do that within 24 hours you'll have a resident move in at random though. Once you have 10 residents you'll have one come up to you to say they're leaving once every couple of weeks or so, you can then wish them luck or ask them to stay, and if they go you'll be able to do the island hopping thing again until you find someone you like. That's how I got my 5 cats! Hopefully that makes sense and I haven't misremembered how any of it works!

@Lazydaisydaydream I have an australian friend who managed to be online at the same time as me so I could visit (although it meant I went to bed very late that night!)

ClubSandwich · 04/02/2021 09:04

506 bells per turnip this morning if anyone wants to come and sell!

Lazydaisydaydream · 04/02/2021 08:29

Ok finally upgraded our online access so I have it as well. So really want to visit some islands tonight and see what other peoples look like and get some ideas! Would love codes if anyone is open to visits tonight?

I have coconuts, oranges, peaches and bamboo and happy to drop some off as a thank you Grin

When people talk about “all squirrel island” etc... do you mean the islanders that live there? How do you pick?

And @Natsku how did you get to visit a Southern Hemisphere island?! Amazing.

PangoPurrl · 04/02/2021 05:20

@AveEldon ooh, I love squirrels! So much that my island is actually called 'Squirrel' 😹 I've only met one in the game but it was a bit odd looking 😳

AveEldon · 03/02/2021 19:32

find the villager who is crafting and talk to them
shoot balloons
find the message in a bottle on the beach

Paddingtonthebear · 03/02/2021 19:13

How do they get DIY recipes?

AveEldon · 03/02/2021 18:08

@Paddingtonthebear secondary players can do DIY, place objects and dig stuff up
They can't place or move buildings or infrastructure

alexio · 03/02/2021 17:44

I've not played for ages I'll need to look out my charger and have a go tonight

Paddingtonthebear · 03/02/2021 15:56

Can secondary players access any DIY recipes or build anything?

Natsku · 03/02/2021 11:36

[quote ExitChasedByABear]@Natsku You can customize the crescent moon chair and nova lights.[/quote]
Ooo I'll do that

Badgerblu · 03/02/2021 11:33

@Magissa yes totally new island. My island is now called Cherry Pie. I dropped off a few of my fav things at dd1's island, had to do 4 trips this morning to pick it all up!.

EntropyBanana · 03/02/2021 11:12

@AveEldon so glad it worked!

TheGoodEnoughWife · 03/02/2021 10:19

Don't know if anyone is on right now but I have various DIYs available and can get a Dodo code if anyone would like to come and have a look at them.

ExitChasedByABear · 03/02/2021 08:29

@Natsku You can customize the crescent moon chair and nova lights.

AveEldon · 03/02/2021 07:59

@PangoPurrl I'm aiming for an all squirrel island

I tried @EntropyBanana ' s wrapped fossil gift suggestion yesterday and one of my long standing villagers finally gave me their picture
