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...

Oooh Im excited by that chart thankyou. There's plants on there I dont have.

I do love this more than I thoughtGrin. I initially was horrified at paying £40 for a kids game...

AdamDriversApple · 03/01/2021 17:10

@RememberSelfCompassion I got a switch just to play the game 😂 I've not regretted it yet.

Though was made even more excited that final fantasy 8 was on Nintendo online 😍

MeowPurrGrr · 03/01/2021 17:19

I started playing in May after umming and arring whether it would be too childish!!
It’s been amazing for my mental health last year and I’m totally in love with it! Not sure whether to be proud or embarrassed that I’ve racked up nearly 1000 hours on it!!
If I can help/give advice at all I’m more than happy to :)

Paddingtonthebear · 03/01/2021 17:21

My DD is the main player but I’ve added myself in as a second villager and split the play cons so we have a play con each. I can see that I can catch fish etc and save them to my inventory but I can’t donate anything to the museum? Is that correct?

I don’t understand how to add friends and there’s a washed up sea gull on my beach! Only apples here!

To add friends, when you're on the homepage of the Switch, click the circle in the top left of the screen. There should be an option to "Add Friend" or something similar, then "Add via Friend Code". Then type in the numbers, there's some codes upthread.

The washed up seagull is called Gulliver, talk to him repeatedly until he wakes up then dig up all five of his communicator parts (they look like clams, squirting water up through the sand), bring them back to him and you'll get a reward in the post tomorrow.

Thank you! Also when I go into my little house it says I have an option to ‘store’ things but how do I get them back or are they gone forever?

Merryoldgoat · 03/01/2021 21:09

No, you can access the storage anytime you’re in your house. You can just move items back to your pocket.

I don’t know how to though! Am I just being thick??? It says do I want to store them and then they just disappear?! I’m obviously missing something.

WinterRobin · 03/01/2021 23:29

To access your storage when you are in your house you press the right arrow on the left joycon .

So when you press x and show your pocket you can put into storage.

Close pockets and when in your house press right button on left joycon - that will open your storage and you can pop it back in your pockets if you fancy.

Oops missed the reward from the seagull. I did speak to him a few times but he didnt say much so didn't perservere. And now he's gone. Oops.

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.

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

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.

The boat has appeared on my island today, exciting!

Paddingtonthebear · 04/01/2021 17:29

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?!

RememberSelfCompassion · 04/01/2021 17:33

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.

Yes that will be it

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.
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.
