She's definitely going to love ACNH then. You should definitely join on the island with her too, unlocking the different things on the island goes a bit quicker when you have someone else to help with things.

I'll probably take that advice

I enjoy games with "no end". Can't even remember the last game I played that was totally linear with no endgame content. Love games that "end" but keep on going, it's why I'm so partial to the Final Fantasy titles and games like Skyrim and W3.

I've literally gone to the island resort once. I keep forgetting about it.

Has anyone else stopped playing?

I played hard right around the November update and as soon as Pokemon BD/SP dropped I stopped playing ACNH cold. The other day my niece wanted to visit my island and I had to hurry up and pull six thousand weeds to have it look halfway presentable

ETA: and then Pokemon Arceus dropped and I stopped playing BDSP cold, apparently I can only fixate on one thing at a time

I hop on every day or so. Just finished my gyroid collection and trying to knock out the museum.

My girls got crazy back into it for a couple months when the happy home expansion came out, but they completely burned themselves out on it and neither have touched it since.

That is fantastic info, thanks! Looks like I'm 36/38.

These f’n turnips though….

Some of the 3rd party apps that track the prices and predict the cycle are nice. The more data you plug in each week, the more accurate they are.

You can hit up turnip exchange and fly to some strangers Island and sell. Sometimes they want a tip or something but not always.

Oddly, getting all the money I needed is part of what took fun out of the game.

Dammit, man. This was my first go at the Bunny Day events, and that damned rabbit can EABOD for making you collect enough eggs to craft one of EVERYTHING.

I know there's a disconnect between the Japanese mindset and American ways of thinking, but Nintendo's methodology of "You need to play the game the way we want you to experience it" can suck the joy right out of it, many times.

There being no metric in the game for knowing how many of the seasonal DIYs you have left to collect is one of them. I spent an obscene amount of time shooting down Bunny Day Egg balloons, thinking I still had a dozen DIYs to collect, and was getting super frustrated that all I was getting were Sky Eggs, only to find out I had all the recipes.

I have an app called ACNH.Guide and it has a feature to help you track your DIYs. I think the catalog scanner will let you auto populate your DIYs into the app, and once you have the main list in, you can keep up with it manually during an event to be sure you have everything.

You can also use villagerdb.com to create a profile and create a wishlist of the holiday diys you know you don't have before the events start, and then delete them as you get them.
