Moved my campsite, up on a double height cliff. Built one incline yesterday up to it and went to build another today but Tom Nook says 8 inclines is enough for one island???!!!

Yeah, it's a pisser. We had to change some plans. Same with bridges too. Max of 8

Dodge

Ok folks. Meteor shower on our island. I’ll be on for about an hour. Bring a ladder if you want to talk to Celeste (for the Scorpio recipe?)

Dodo code is DXP9B

All are welcome

Forecast of shooting stars tonight on my island. Will post later when I open up once they've started.

holly_johnson

Shooting stars here tonight and Celeste is here. Gates open if you want to pop over.
Still on the hunt for a blue rose, so watering appreciated!

Btw I’m loving the Halloween hats all the NPCs are wearing!

Bells21

I've opened up there now if anyone wants to wish on a few stars. There's a few spare diys over by the Halloween area too, please help yourself. Haven't come across celeste yet.

Few days behind so I've Redd on my island today, has a real dynamic painting and familiar statue, and fake quaint painting if anyone's interested?

Just realised today is Halloween and have been harvesting pumpkins but haven't crafted a huge amount from them apart from some lanterns and scarecrows. Are they worthless after today. Also went to make candy set and only realised I can only buy one candy a day from the shop and their not available after today.

For folks that are well advanced, did ye do a lot of re locating on your island before getting it right. Not sure with how happy I am with how mine is laid out at the moment. Have most houses around residential services and getting a bit crowded now. Also at the stage where I need to make a few more bridges (only have one now) and start making inclines but not sure if I should buy cheaper ones first or just get the ones I really want instead.

I've been logging on every day for about 2 weeks. Usually do the standard daily stuff and by the time I do all that there isn't much time to think about enhancing the island. Am I Animal Crossing wrong? Thinking I should just get into some crazy debt and start getting the place they way I want it and put more thought into it instead of my current random approach.

Dodge

You can’t really get into crazy debt as you’ve to pay each loan off before the next

There’s no right or wrong way to animal crossing

There’s 3 on our island (little one, Mrs dodge and me). We went haphazard at the start but looking at other islands and YouTube etc we started to plan it properly

Spent a few weeks moving all the other houses to a ‘residential quarter’. We have all the shops together. We have an orchard and some others bits on the other side. I live near the beach and the other two live at the back

What I’m saying is that you can play around with your design as much as you like. That was easily the most fun part for me and my wife. We’ve only really tinkered with the design over the last couple of months (we had a spa/pool area that became a fireworks viewing platform that is now a halloween party space for example)

Edit: if you’re short on bells, prioritise the island over expanding your house. Soon you’ll have millions of bells and nothing to spend them on...

I knew I had to pay home loan before another expansion but I thought I was able to make bridges and inclines at the same time. Best get paying off that 500k bells so.

I'm only 2 weeks in and enjoy logging on and doing the daily stuff but think I need to mix it up and spend some time on layout etc. Might look online for inspiration.

Shops and houses are pretty much close together but could do with a bit more order. Residential quarter like you mentioned might be something to get started on before I get more villagers in. I picked the island layout with most of the land in the middle and its surrounded on all sides by a river that curves around it. Kind of regretting not going for a different layout at start now, or maybe I just need more bridges to make it flow better and more accessible.

****e sorry, I had actually moved to the next day and thought if I travelled back it would the same paintings but they've changed

And I'm just after buying a real wistful painting off him now

There's a fake Graceful and Serene Paintings and a fake ancient statue here

Cool, will open in 2 minutes. You'd better bring candy as my villagers have gone wild with sugar and ready to insult anyone who gets in their way!


EDIT: Open! I may be away from Switch but feel free to call over!

Bells21

I'm open if anyone wants to drop by to trick or Treat!

Dodge

Playing with the family here. My only tip is to at least once, don’t give Jack a candy. say no...

Edit - the same happens when you say no to anyone

RedRochey

Pretty sure I got all the items and recipes, I thought it was going to be a lot harder

What do I do with 100s of pumpkins now

Princess Peach

The Halloween event was really fun I thought! Villagers were so cute in all their costumes. Shame we only got some of the furniture last night though. I feel pretty ready to put away all the Halloween stuff now!

Ya that's the problem with Halloween, it's really only one night and then it's over, compared to Xmas that lasts for months

I'm going to try and just turn all the pumpkins around so you can't see the faces, might make them feel more autumnal

skerry

Enjoyed the Halloween event too. I only realised yesterday you can only buy one candy a day so thought I'd be locked out of the Jack thing but the game is pretty generous and villagers hooked me up for the most part. Have a load of pumpkins in my storage and a plot outside the house so will probably sell them and dig up plot now.

I’m hoping that more growable fruit and veg appear

Mushrooms on the island today. Little one even dug up a rare mushroom. Didn’t know they existed before

Just looking at a YouTube video as I was reading the thread. Says rare shrooms are worth 16k bells. Must keep an eye out. Had some standard ones pop up this morning, looking forward to seeing the diy recipes

Same here, I’ve never enjoyed Halloween so much. But same with all the furniture - it would have made more sense to give that out at the start of the month. Who wants a Halloween themed living room after it’s over?
Super excited about mushroom season. I’ve been waiting for this since the game came out (and resisted time travelling).

Redd is on the island today with a real common painting and familiar statue if anyone wants to buy them?

I also have spare real quaint, academic and sinking paintings if anyone wants to trade?

Can I come for the familiar statue if its still available?

There will be a meteor shower on my island tonight too, I'll open the gate later if anyone needs stars!
