Will do Ben!

El Chapo from Sicily, you rock!! I have been looking for that train set for months. Did you like the island?

Remember to water them every day. If you water them, they'll grow three pumpkins each. If you skip a day, they'll only grow one.

Nice island, Schwartzy. Glad I could help.

Fishing tournament this weekend

Me too. Been collecting bait all week when I could. Got about 250 or so now.

Does anyone have an extra soft serve lamp of the rainbow, purple, mango, or chocolate swirl variety? I keep getting the same white vanilla and turquoise (pale sky)) ones. I'll send cherry blossom items or the extra white/turquoise soft serve lamps in exchange!

This is also still my dream address: DA-4784-2543-5388. I update almost daily in case anyone else wanted to see Paradis, LA!

Thank you mike, you’re awesome! I sent you some seasonal gifts in the mail

Yeah! We got a good little group here, so anything you need or questions you have someone will have it. It's obviously slowed down a little since launch but for the most part we all still play it daily.

Should I try this out?

I have yet to ever play an Animal Crossing game.

I grinded like hell tonight because Jack said I'd get an extra assignment or some shite after getting all his gifts. Then after giving him like 12 lollipops and still getting the same stuff I finally googled and saw he's full of shite. Next time look it up first people

I just went on a harrowing adventure trying to move my island to my new switch.

I had cloud backups on and it didn't give me any kind of warning when I transferred the user profile to the new switch that there would be an issue with Animal Crossing, but when I went to start the game up, it acted like it was starting a new save file.

During the freakout that ensued, I found a post on Reddit where someone said you actually have to contact customer support at nintendo to authorize the island transfer and then your cloud backup will load.

I went into the nintendo support chat, and one of the options was 'I need animal crossing help'. I got a rep pretty quickly and she authorized my account to transfer my island. She had me start the game up and hold the - button on the black loading screen until the option to load a cloud save appeared, and then Tom Nook showed up to walk through the steps to load the island.

It's fine now!! There were just no warnings all that would be required. I figured if anyone else here was thinking about upgrading a v1 switch to a v2 switch this holiday season, just know you're going to have to jump through these hoops to get your island moved to a new device.
