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...

DD is worried about a weekly inspection on her house and that it will get knocked down if it doesn’t pass the inspection. Is that true? Grin
Definitely not, however good her house is it will just get a pretty bland letter from the inspectors and tips on how to get more points!

Wow what a beautiful island *@bearlyactive* has! Thank you for the flowers and the tour.

I have plenty of resources if anyone needs anything, fruit, minerals etc, just let me know what you need.

Thank you! Smile

I need to work out how to get online, I think DH set up a Nintendo online account.

Does anyone know how to get the wooden stakes to make the bridge please?

I sold cherries in your shop for 6x what I get for them on my island!
That’s fab!!

Thanks Paddington, I'd seen this before but it hasn't worked for us hence me asking here. We did manage to get the tool kit thing though so she's left me alone for a while Smile

How do you get a hybrid? Ive just moved my flowers to a grid!

bearlyactive · 02/01/2021 16:37

@dannydyerismydad

When planting flowers plant them in a grid. Flower. Blank. Flower. Blank etc. Like a checker board.

When they get rained or snowed on new ones spawn in the gaps. Dig them and move them or dig them and sell them.

Don't let yourself end up with a wilderness of flowers. When you shake trees or shoot balloons the bounty will have nowhere to land and will disappear.

I've spent the last 2 days thinning my floral jungle and only managed to clear 1/3 of my island

I have a wilderness of flowers and it's a PITA, they're just placeholders at the moment.

On that note, I have a bunch of hybrids going free. Tons of black roses, gold roses, some blue somethings (can't remember what they are), some pink somethings. PM me if you want any :)

Oooh good tip about the money tree.

We now have the shop. Im wondering if we still need our child to keep progressing or if it reaches a point where its okay?

PepperPotty · 02/01/2021 16:30

Ahhh, we played this a lot during lockdown last year, it’s so addictive! My youngest DS was main player though and I kept having to log on as him to progress things 😅

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but if you dig up money you can bury it again in the hole and grow a money tree (e.g plant 10k and you’ll get 30 - don’t think you can get more than that).

Can anyone help my DD please? She's trying to make an axe but doesn't know how! She has stones and twigs etc.
She's driving me mad! TIA

I've just added a couple of friends on here - hope thats ok! My code is SW 7988 8480 8680 if anyone would like to add me! Smile I'm still pretty new to it and don't really know what I'm doing yet! Loving it though.

@Paddingtonthebear

Do you have to have an online subscription to get visitors or visit other islands?
Yes - a paid one.

This game is so addictive! I brought my own switch after playing with my daughters. I think I enjoy it more than she does!
