@glitterelf

Ooh Isabelle told me about her star sign and luck so I planted 99,999 bells fingers crossed it works.
@glitterelf - what happens if you bury 99,999 bells when Isabell says about her horoscope?

Don’t know about this!

Whymustyoubringinthebirds · 21/02/2021 17:00

Any spare stones and wood

glitterelf · 21/02/2021 16:58

Do you need anything else ?

Whymustyoubringinthebirds · 21/02/2021 16:55

Amazing! Dojo is 3R0QV Smile

glitterelf · 21/02/2021 16:52

@Whymustyoubringinthebirds I do if you have a dodo code I can come and drop off Smile

@AveEldon

You can use his house to take photos - during wedding season you get rewards for doing this
Thank you! @AveEldon We only started playing after Christmas and have just spent a week paying off the zen bridge because it looked pretty and I didnt realise the other residents wouldn't help pay for it!! Blush We have a campsite with a pizza oven though!!

He plays the switch in the front room with me so I am always aware but thank you for the advice. I work with children too so can understand where your coming from.

TryingNotToPanicOverCovid · 21/02/2021 14:49

Having said that if you use a dodo code (one off) and you are with him it would be a good way to enjoy visiting/fruits etc without the concern about linking as friends.

TryingNotToPanicOverCovid · 21/02/2021 14:47

How old is he? I personally wont have any children on my friendslist (am a teacher) and my child can only visit islands with me controlling- you genuinely dont know who you're visiting. Id like to think we're all friendly on mumsnet but with internet safety hat on I'd not encourage a child visiting people they can talk to personally.

My eldest has friends on just dance etc but these are school friensa.

Hello
Can anyone help me? My son has had this game since Christmas and I've been trying to help him as much as I can but he's a bit down about having no friends to visit or have visit him. Does anyone want to be his friend?

Can anyone tell me who this harv character is whose wandering around the island? Ds went to his island and just found an odd house now hes just hanging round!!

Aspiringmatriarch · 21/02/2021 13:05

Helena I would love some flowers and fruit! What do I need to do? Is there anything you'd like? I can offer some ice-themed interiors or craft you a gong??

ToastandJamandTea · 21/02/2021 08:43

Could I please come and visit someone to do some diving/bug hunting please? I'm really just nosy and love getting ideas!
I've only been playing a week but can bring you loads of peaches.....or wood ConfusedGrin

helena6824 · 21/02/2021 08:23

Does anyone want some flowers I'm clearing part of my island. I can bring fruit too as I've got all of them.

Moomoolandmoomooland · 21/02/2021 07:44

I'm going to go through and add a few people as friends later if that's OK?
I'm having my first dabble on the stalk market this week. Very excited Grin.

I've been transferring things I had on my DS island and bringing them over to my new one. I've been naughty and pinched all the black and purple flowers he accidentally made. Blush. He asked me to leave him all my stuff for him, no chance!!

Emmelina · 20/02/2021 23:21

Unfortunately Nintendo dialled down the spawn rate of tarantulas last year, so it’s much harder to farm them!
There is a specific mystery island for tarantulas, but it’s very rare!

@toppocket thank you, I’ve just managed to get three tiger beetles and some more damselflies but still no sign of the elusive tarantulas

TryingNotToPanicOverCovid · 20/02/2021 23:00

Pet ?! Shudder

toppocket · 20/02/2021 22:59

I've cleared many islands and never got tarantulas to spawn.

I've caught two on my own island now. One for the museum and one as a pet.

Caesious · 20/02/2021 22:43

I’ve just had about 6 damselflies in a row but nothing else.. I want tarantulas!!

TryingNotToPanicOverCovid · 20/02/2021 22:40

I got ti bamboo island (all one level) and picked flowers/chopped trees/hot rocks etc. Took forever and still no tarantulas!

Caesious · 20/02/2021 22:39

I have just tried the tarantula island trick and followed the instructions but all that seems to be spawning are absolutely tonnes of snowflakes and there’s a pond in the middle of the mystery island with loads of fish in it. Any ideas please? Have I missed something?

Thismummyruns · 20/02/2021 22:28

Thank you @TheFaceProject

So, the game is actually my daughters but obviously I became completely obsessed!
On initial set up, I set it so no online play could happen (I didn't play at that point) but now I would like to play online.
I've done a lot of the work on her island and feel we've reached a bit of a peak and without online play, there isn't really much more to do.

Do I just turn off the parental controls to access online play?
