Thank you @Playingoutinthedark ..my island is actually my sons..I just sort of got obsessed with it Blush Grin. I would love to get my own and try that out, maybe santa will be kind to me this year 🤣

I do try to pop balloons but seem to mostly get iron/clay and clothes. I forgot all about the trees though! I will try it out..I remember I was really bad at catching the wasps that fell though so I imagine my poor little character is in for a lot of stings 😅

Also make sure you shake your trees everyday, pop lots of balloons and check the nook shopping app as well. All my new items have been on the nook shopping app.

Playingoutinthedark · 05/11/2021 21:43

@BlitheringBlathers it definitely helps to travel to lots of different islands. My DC and I have a switch each Blush so we always go to each other's islands. We shop in each other's shops and swap items.

I also do a lot of trading on discord which helps.

How do you manage to get the furniture collections? Is it luck as to what becomes available in nooks cranny? Or am I missing something?

I seem to have the same bits of furniture again and again in my shop, same with the DIYs, I didn't manage to get any spring DIYs and just a couple of the autumn ones, I keep getting repeats of the DIYs I already know 😭 I think I have a bad luck island (if such a thing exists).

Sounds amazing! Always up for a visit if you open up later on

Creepypastard · 05/11/2021 20:06

@gab254 I'm a bit of a hoarder for collections (Set up all the kids tents into a campsite on the beach! They're great!)

Waaay too many flowers so need to get rid and do a bit of a refurb.

Going to try and finish Harvs island and get all the shops going first though-

(I did buy this for the kids....Grin)

gab254 · 05/11/2021 19:59

I'm loving all this furniture on here, I wish I could have it all ha! I love the kids tents and the wooden display shelves ... And lots more!!

Definitely nice to have something else to do on the game and get some different furniture

@gab254

I've got it all working now!! Thanks!! I'll lose even more of my life to this now haha
Lol!! I know right! I might try and open my island a little later, your more than welcome to visit, got loads in storage if you need some stuff 😊

Go and see Tom in res services, he should tell you, then visit the airport?

gab254 · 05/11/2021 19:24

I've had the update since the 4th but didn't have happy home until just now, but not sure how to get it going

Creepypastard · 05/11/2021 19:19

@gab254

I've just bought Happy home!
Ahhh, have you only just got the update!? Tom should phone you, he'll send you to the airport to meet Lottie! Smile

Creepypastard · 05/11/2021 19:04

Have you gone to the airport yet?

gab254 · 05/11/2021 19:01

I don't know what happy home is 🙈

Creepypastard · 05/11/2021 18:43

@gab254

Creepy - how do you get new furniture? I haven't managed yet.

I've done a bit of time travelling, it's good having Leif there all the time on harvs

There's new furniture for sale at 'Happy Home'..you can only purchase with what you get paid for the design jobs though.

Do you collect the diys your islanders craft in their homes throughout the day? I got two new furniture ones yesterday Wink

@CoffeeWithCheese have you time travelled to get all the bods on Harvs? I've not had much time (grr!) but have Redd, Leif (some tomato starts) and when I go again Cyrus...also started 'work' on the Happy Home and gathering new furniture, collecting gyroids on the boats visits....there's loads!

I'm going to have to start unloading my island (over 1000 gold Roses, got a bit addicted to growing all the flowers, they've taken over!)...

But, do you know when you've unlocked everyone on Harvs will it let you design/weed pick/place items over there? I'd rather transfer stuff to another island than sell everything?

BlitheringBlathers · 05/11/2021 15:31

Oh that's great news thanks!

CoffeeWithCheese · 05/11/2021 14:51

@BlitheringBlathers

I have a question Blush if you visit someone else's island can you use their nook machine to order other variations of the nook mile items? (Using your own nook points)
Nope - they can buy them and drop them for you to pick up.

Once you unlock Cyrus on Harv's Collective of Hippy Dropouts he will customise into all the other versions of the nook mile stuff for bells.

I'm off out on the school run but I've got a load of DIYs I need rid of on the big land bridge going to my plaza and there are some snowflake wreaths on there as well from me getting a snow island and being bored if anyone wants them.

I'll leave switch on unless my net dies - Dodo D619T

FrankiesKnuckle · 04/11/2021 23:07

The update is on! I've just done a group stretch session!
I must go to bed but I want to explore 😬

Creepypastard · 04/11/2021 21:32

Thanks @sweetheartyparty !

sweetheartyparty · 04/11/2021 21:06
