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...

@Natsku you have to reach a certain level of friendship with them before they offer to change their greetings/ catchphrases

@EntropyBanana I am collecting squirrel villagers.

I have a soft spot for Skye, she was with me all the way from my first New Leaf town, she's just so pretty and nice! I also have a soft spot for Yuka as she shares my birthday, and June for no reason.

My island is paired up. So we have Eugene and Yuka (koalas), Skye and Fang (wolves), June and Stitches (bear cubs), Goose and Plucky (chickens) and Walker and Maddie (dogs). It's like Noah's Ark Grin

How can you change their greetings? I have a workout-obsessed bear who mocks me when I get stung by wasps. He can fuck off. The others are alright, I've got carrie the kangaroo too.

I'm interested to know who your favourite villagers are.

Mine is Eunice, she is a Normal sheep and I lover her. I've changed her greeting to Mint Sauce! and her catchphrase to brebis. If she ever wants to go, I'm saying "No!".

I've got two kangaroos,Carrie and Astrid, and I'm very fond of them, I like grumpy old Bruce, and Patty the cow and Reneigh the horse are part of the furniture having been with me from the start.

Who have you got a soft spot for?

Why on Earth did I think Game8? That’s the exact link there :) thank you @AveEldon

Natsku · 06/01/2021 10:52

Cheers

Emmelina · 06/01/2021 10:24

Google is your friend for paintings and statues. Just type in “calm painting new horizons” (or whatever you have, there’s a Game8 (I think?) link which is amazing, has comparison photos etc. When you talk to Redd and he asks if you want to buy, select I want a closer look and you can see it much bigger and zoom into it.

Does anyone know how to tell if the works of arts are fakes or not?

buffythevampireslayer91 · 05/01/2021 20:03

I'm online and gates are open if anyone wants to come by. Able is here and I have some oranges and other bits

@Poorlykitten

I’m really shit at fishing, I’d there a knack?
Wait until the "biting" sound changes, and the little bobber will go under the water, then pounce on the A button. It will soon become a reflex Grin

I’m so glad I’ve found my people. I love animal crossing and none of my friends play so need to find some lol. I’ve had my town since March and it’s going well, although I do have Candi in boxes if anyone wants her

@RememberSelfCompassion

How do we get non native fruit? When I travel with nook miles I just get the same pears and coconuts we have already.

I haven't paid for online access so will it be impossible?

Yep - Blathers only takes the first one of each creature/bug etc you find.

You used to be able to get fruit from the in game “Mom” or from villagers visiting your house and giving it to you as a gift or posting it to you with a letter. But now you have to travel to other islands to get non-native fruit. You can sometimes get one non-native fruit from “Mom” just be sure to plant that so you can get more or you can go to a rare fruit island which is one of many different types of mystery islands.

Just discovered diving 😍

bearlyactive · 04/01/2021 17:42

Or pears might be your native fruit, of course. In which case, if you're lucky you'll get the "sister fruit" island which will have a different fruit, but that's fairly rare.

Pears are obviously your "sister fruit", so NMT islands will only ever have pears or your native fruit. To get the other fruits you need to have the online access so you can get to other people's islands.

Ok so no duplicates 👍

bearlyactive · 04/01/2021 17:33

@Paddingtonthebear

Can anyone help with this?

DD is trying to donate some more fish and bugs but Blathers is saying she doesn’t have anything in her pockets to donate. She does, they are on the inventory. Any ideas? I wondered if it’s because she has already donated the same species before?!

Yes that will be it

The boat has appeared on my island today, exciting!

TheRealBoswell · 04/01/2021 09:07

If anyone wants any fully grown non-hybrid flowers, I can bring an inventory full and then plant them for you. You don’t need to add me as a friend for me to plant them.

Poorlykitten · 04/01/2021 08:52

Thank you all! I got a bit fixated trying to find a Pearl! Wetsuit is great!

TheRealBoswell · 04/01/2021 08:49

The fastest way of becoming a bellionaire, which is just a million bells (you can make even more bells than that), is to play the stalk market. You will need to buy turnips from Daisy Mae on Sundays. In previous games it was Daisy’s grandmother Joan from whom you’d buy turnips. You can buy from Daisy several times on Sunday when you see her wandering around (as many times as you can afford). You can then sell turnips later on in the week when your turnip rates are high. Alternatively, Reddit has turnip subreddits where you can find loads of people who have great rates.

I’m not sure if anyone is opposed to time traveling, but do note that time traveling backwards will always spoil turnips. However, I’ve read that if you time travel forward it won’t always, as long as you don’t hit the next Sunday; I haven’t tried this yet so I’m not 100% sure.

There are several online guides and YouTube videos that are helpful. You can read this to help you get started on making those bells. Also non-native and exotic fruit are great gifts and do sell for more than native fruit. Once you’ve planted your fruit orchards etc, sell unwanted fruit to the twins.

You will get Nook Mile points and stamps for the first of every type of fruit tree you plant and you also get nook mile points and stamps per milestone when selling fruits, same with selling shells or digging up clams.
