Maybe you haven't visited each other's islands but I'm pretty sure you can send paintings in a letter to one another?

Meteor shower in Funkytown tonight if anyone needs to star fragments, will open the gates when it starts

cee_jay · 07-09-2020 05:03PM

I came here to post the same - Isabelle finally announced something interesting happening!

Princess Peach · 07-09-2020 07:16PM

The gates are open if anyone wants to come wish. I might not be responsive always but work away!

cee_jay · 07-09-2020 07:17PM

Mine are open too!

Since I start playing in mid April or so, we’re about to have our first ever meteor shower on the island tonight

Multipass · 08-09-2020 02:32PM

The switch I’ve been using is moving away, and I’m going to have to buy my own. I’m wondering if the new back up feature is going to apply in this case, and I can’t find much information online. I’m player 2 - my son abandoned the game though, so it’s my town. I’d be downloading it to a new switch with just me registered. Does anyone here know how that will work, or should I brace myself for having to start again from scratch...

Are you opening the island by any chance? :P

Happy to. Got loads of stars on other people’s islands so happy to let others in on our shower. Few changes in progress so excuse them...

Likely won’t be playing so don’t think I’m rude!

Dodo code is 0KQJ1

Ankha is in boxes if anyone wants her?

rumplyconch · 09-09-2020 07:31PM

Anyone still need an Academic painting? Redd always brings me one! 2 fakes available too...

I think you're out of luck, and will have to start again.

Your son is the "island representative" in your game, so it's "his island", and that can't be changed.

From Nintendo AC FAQ:

When multiple players live on one island, does everyone have access to the same places and items?

<snip>

It is not possible to reassign the Resident Representative role to another player. If certain places or items in the game aren’t available for island residents, have the Resident Representative progress to the point where the item or feature is available for them, then try again.

From Nintendo AC FAQ:

Could they add their son's account to their new switch and use the Island Backup feature to transfer the island over?

I had thought of that (the "with just me registered" made me think it wasn't an option), and I couldn't think of any solid reason why it wouldn't work.

I guess it's a question of does the island backup/transfer handle secondary accounts properly? And the son's account would always need to be on the new Switch? I'd nearly try it just for curiosity. :pac:

But even if it did work, it's still not "their island". Personally, I'd bite the bullet.

The son's account would definitely need to be on the new Switch all the time.

Although, now I think of it, the Island backup feature can only be used once, so they'd be **** out of luck if anything else happened to it.

AND they'd actually need to use the same copy of AC, so if it was bought digitally, it would need to be redownloaded using the son's account, or if it was bought physically, they'd need to use the same cartridge...

Plus, as you say, it's not "their" island.

Nintendo, why do you make things so complicated :rolleyes:

Thanks so much for finding that for me - I’m still in the denial phase. Now I can move on to acceptance :pac:

It might actually be fun to start again. Except I’ll be on a mission to find my best friend Ribbot again. He said that he moved to my island when he saw my ‘glutes’..... I don’t think I can steal him away, I’m taking the game card so I won’t be able to visit the old town.

Well let us know when you have your new town, I know I have a lot of DIYs spare to get you started!

We have Ribbot too, I love him, he can never leave. Yesterday we allowed a camper to take a place in our village, my lovely Pietro is gone

Thank you, that’s really kind.
I’ve just realised that I’ll be able to go home in my dreams - that’s a bit tragic!

I have Isabelle announced shooting stars for the 2nd time this week , gates are open if anyone wants to visit.

I still haven't found Celeste though!

Princess Peach · 13-09-2020 11:54AM

Spent some time this morning replacing the paths on one part of my island with a fancy custom design path that has 9 parts with autumn leaves on it, looks so nice. Then I went to pick up a balloon gift and of course kicked off part of it and now I'm not sure I have the patience to have this path if it was everywhere!

I set up a little jumble sale area that I love though

rumplyconch · 14-09-2020 10:20PM

Just popped on the switch now and there's a meteor shower in full swing if anyone wants to pop over. Gates open!

RedRochey · 15-09-2020 10:24PM

How has it taken me until now to see that sometimes there's a bbq on the plaza and the villagers eat kebabs

I’ve never seen that! Saw a leaf pile on it last week so was happy to see their sweeping wasn’t totally in vain

rumplyconch · 17-09-2020 07:32PM

More shooting stars here tonight. Celeste popped by this time too if anyone wants to visit...
