About a week is when it noticeably opens up. If you play consistently and get all the tasks done the day they are given to you.

Finally paid that bastard Tom Nook off. That last home expansion payment was a doozy

Now I can focus completely on customizing my island, fishing, completing the museum and the stalk market

i just paid off the initial 5000 miles for getting to the island and i get my house tomorrow. i think it's cool how it sync's up with your time where you are. i don't get why you'd want to jump through it

I agree. A lot of people don't like having to wait to get the things they want. People can play however they want but Animal Crossing loses a lot of it's charm and playability if you time travel.

I love to hate my original villager, Tammy. So I made her a concentration camp on the other side of the island from everyone. It's hidden through a forrest, lol. She escapes too much though.


Has anyone tried just putting a fence around a villager's house? I'm wondering if they get trapped, or if they can find a way out.

They will just spawn out in the town somewhere.

ETA: just watched a video that said you can fence them in and they will eventually move out

Caught my first barreleye and coelacanth in the same day

Edit: just got back from an awesome hybrid-flower/big-fish mystery island too. Landed two new kinds of flowers, snagged over 90K in fish (would've gotten more but I need to get to bed ), and got the 100 Cast Master achievement. Paid off my third room loan and started construction on my second floor too. Damn good day.

I think KS is coming to my island tomorrow

Time for the designer app!!

ETA: shouldn't people be getting the upgraded Nook Cranny legitimately now?

(Seeing how I got the game later, I'm probably not that close yet)

Yeah people that bought it on release day should be able to upgrade it legitimately over the next week or so.

Turnips were at 91 on my island today. Bought around 525k worth and filled my basement up with them

Yeah no word on the new store yet. I got it on release as well.

Edit: apparently it’s 30 days since Nooks cranny was built.

This is the best way to play the game. If you sell at the perfect time this week, you'll make millions.

This is a game changer for those who are closing in. The items get much better once Nooks expands. He usually has one or two decent things per day + the outdoorsy tools.

The one I found was three-tiered with two waterfalls. The pond did NOT connect to the sea, if I recall correctly. It had hybrid varieties of one of my native flowers. Most importantly, every fish shadow was big (not hard to realize because the pond/waterfall system was fairly small so all the fish were spawning very close to each other).

My son read about the time travel and getting the interest last night so he did it

Good news is at least the upgraded nooks cranny is being upgraded, bad news is I have a bunch of tarantulas I planned on selling this morning to get more turnips. We had a stern discussion about him altering the game last night. I don't care if others do it, I just don't want my island doing it.

That's the beautiful thing about this game. There's no wrong way to play it
