re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Thread (March 20)

Raymond is at my campsite today. Usually it's the terrible looking villagers so this is a pleasant surprise.

How are y’all finding festival feathers in animal crossing? Are there other ballon recipes for festival or no?

I'm pretty sure Festivale is just on Feb 15, and the feathers are only there that day, but I might be wrong. So far it's just the clothing items on sale at Ables and the one seasonal item in Nooks a day that seems stuck to your island's festivale color (mine is red, ugh).

Here are a few other guides I have saved in bookmarks that I use often:

LOST ITEM GUIDE - When a villager loses an item you get more friendship points for returning it right the first time without another villager helping. You can inspect the item for a description and match it on this chart (you have to click to expand the chart).

Raise your Happy Home Academy Score - Every Sunday morning you should start getting mail from the HHA (Happy Home Academy) ranking your house based on if you have normal house stuff in it (kitchen, dresser, bed, etc.), how many things of a matching color are in a room, how much Feng Shui you have going on. You can win plaques and trophies for leveling your house up. It's easier the more rooms you have, as every room can help earn points.

Label's Fashion Challenge Guide - Can help you figure out what to wear to get the max benefit from Label's Fashion Challenge (she may not visit your island until you've gotten Mabel and Sable's shop built).

Villager House Exterior Guide - Some people are picky about what the outside of their villager houses look like for aesthetic purposes. If that's you, here's a list of what they all look like.

Stalk Market Forecaster On Sundays, Daisy Mae will show up from I think 6a-12p selling turnips. Every day Mon-Sat, Nooks will have a different price they are willing to buy turnips back at from when the shop opens to noon, and noon until the shop closes. If you're trying to play the stalk market and earn money this way, you can use this website to track what your prices are and it can help you predict when the best time to sell might be. The more data you feed it the better it is, and if you can do it several weeks in a row it can really help narrow down your best sale windows. You can sell turnips at other people's islands too - most around here don't check their prices or track anymore, but places like Turnip Exchange can let you visit strangers who are usually looking for some kind of cut to allow you to sell there. You can also use Turnip Exchange to visit someone else's Daisy Mae to buy at their price instead of your own, or to visit when someone else has Celeste/Stars.

VillagerDB I use VillagerDB to help track what I have and what I need. I have a list of fish and bug models I don't have so I know what to hold 3 of to give to CJ or Flick. I have a list of art I have donated and art I still need. KK Slider songs, Fossils, DIYs, time limited holiday stuff. It's great for that.

I also have a phone app called ACNH.GUIDE that lets me plug in what fish/bugs/sea creatures I have and it can tell me what's available that month that time of day and what I do and don't have on that list. It can help you build checklists of how many wasps you've caught today, if you've hit all your rocks, etc.

Mine is green and my friend has pink. I wanted purple

Saaaaaaaame,

Why couldn't they have had one traditional purple/green/yellow combo!

Also about Redd - a few of his fake stuff is "haunted". The coolest ones are the fake Informative statue that glows blue at night and the fake ancient statue that has glowing green eyes and levitates when you interact with it.

The fake informative statue is the one I have in my flower garden, it rules.

I agree. Definitely check out the fake Ancient statue if you get a chance. It is awesome too. There is also a painting that closes her eyes but I didn't think that one sounded all that exciting

mail or drop off on my island?

Still fairly new to AC but how do you visit or mail?

One island per Switch.

I hated it at first, but now I'm actually glad they set it up that way. The amount of time you spend playing it with your kids and planning layout changes, villager hunting, etc makes it worth it imo.

You absolutely can. There's certain things you can't both do playing co-op but you can fish and catch bugs together. It also comes in handy when you're wanting to clear areas out as one person can dig up flowers while the other chops trees and such.

And it won't affect his game at all if you play without him. Just be mindful that the island is shared so any structural changes will show up for everyone. Multiple players come in handy with certain island visitors too, gives you more opportunities to buy things/ earn rewards for tasks.
