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...

@FrankiesKnuckle when in the shop asking what's for sale you will see the camp items first, pressing R (the Right hand button) will then show you the other items including DIY recipes

Thanks! @AveEldon

A tip I read last night: when visiting mystery islands using Nook Miles, shake every tree - there's always a piece of furniture in one (watch out for wasp nests).

You're safe from wasps if you shake with a net in your hand, so long as you are facing the tree head on, not to the side or behind it. If there's a wasp nest just stay there and swish your net to catch them. Practise safe shaking!

I am absolutely addicted to this game!! I have found Discord is quite good for trading things with other players (if you have Nintendo online) but obviously it’s anonymous so may not want the kids on there, I haven’t had any issues as of yet personally.

I got this game for Christmas, along with a switch, from dh.
I appear to be addicted to playing this game every evening now, 😂

Yesterday was a big game in my village - KK Slider did his first concert.

Ooh thank you for the safe swishing tip - I was resigned to keeping a stash of medicine in my pocket!

What do I do with Gulliver? The drunken sailor on the beach. I talk to him but I don't get a hint...

Keep talking. You have to talk to him about 5 times and then he gives you a task. Either digging or swimming and diving for parts.

Shooting stars on Graceland tonight I'll open the gates from 6.30 Smile

Hi everyone. I have just been through this thread adding all who have posted their code. I only started two weeks ago. I have peaches if anyone wants them. Not much else to offer at the moment as I hadn't realised all the things you can buy to make the town more interesting. I keep buying air tickets in the hope I would find interesting fruit on other islands but so far I haven't!
My code is 5546-2322-3036. Add away I have far too much time to play at the moment!

Magissa · 26/01/2021 19:06

Also even though you have friends how do you know when their island is open for visits?Confused

gooseygander88 · 26/01/2021 19:27

I'm so glad I've found this thread! Got the game on order after hearing good reviews! :) why am I so excited for this lol

Magissa · 26/01/2021 19:33

@gooseygander88 My DH thought I would like it back in the summer and I said no! Wish i had got it then because the last two weeks I have felt so less stressed over covid. I'm in a safe little world where bad things don't happen. It's lovely.

Magissa · 26/01/2021 19:34

@EntropyBanana sorry didn't tag you dodo code FNV8Q Smile

My son kept saying I would love it and I said it just seems pointless!
Now I know that it is pointless but fabulous!! Something so nice about playing with little animal folk making things look nice and catching fish you can't eat.
Get it. I have had so many playing hours for my money.

What do you need?

EntropyBanana · 26/01/2021 20:00

@Magissa thank you for having me!

Natsku · 26/01/2021 20:04

Just spent ages chasing a damn venus flower basket all over the sea. They are so fast!

hazeydays14 · 26/01/2021 21:28

Yes they are! I try and corner them against the boundary, doesn’t work every time but I think it helps

Natsku · 26/01/2021 21:39

I swear they're getting wise to me and avoiding the corners Grin

hazeydays14 · 26/01/2021 22:07

I pretend to ‘swim away’ then loop around to try and catch them out.. I may be too invested in this game 😂
