Isabelle has just announced shooting stars for later on my island. I can open the gates later if there's an interest.

I might pop over too please - I’m missing one star bit for this months star sign recipe

Bells21 · 07-10-2020 07:58PM

Sorry, opening in the next 5....once I convince the dog to move so I can get the switch

Dodge · 08-10-2020 12:09AM

Sorry. Haven’t had a chance to get on tonight. Must be on the look out for stars now!

rumplyconch · 08-10-2020 09:06AM

Think the game is feeling sorry for me and my empty art gallery. Redd showed up yesterday with a real Proper painting. Then this morn I also got a real wild left side and real giant statue from Boris n Kevin!!!!! I've never gotten art from a villager before and today I got 2!!! Delighted with myself!!!!

Was like many of you, only popping on for a few mins a day to do the dailies, but I've terraformed a Christmas tree on my island and moved Santa into the middle of it. So am now spending a bit of time decorating his house like his North Pole workshop with gnomes for the elves!!!! Daughter is getting the game for her birthday at the end of the month too so that should keep me going for a while!!

Bells21 · 09-10-2020 04:12PM

Think I might do the lotto this week, Isabelle has just announced more stars for tonight

RedRochey · 10-10-2020 04:42PM

Could anyone send me a rattan towel basket please? Preferably white or brown, somehow have never come across one

Trying to set up a rock garden using that mannequin technique, it's heartbreaking to find rocks spawning in every nook and cranny except where you want them to

I have a brown one. Will send to you now.

I picked up New Leaf a while back, played for a week or two and didn't really get back to it. Turned it on last night and I was reminded it was 2 months since I logged on. I'm wondering will I have the same experience with New Horizons or is there more the newer game offers to draw me in more. Anyone have similar experience and end up getting sucked into NH or is AC just not for me

I've played them all from the get go and New Leaf is very similar to New Horizons. Once you've expanded your house, filled the museum, collected diys (which are new) etc the novelty does wear off. I now only pop on daily to check the shops and visiting character, maybe playing for 20mins - half an hour. I still love that slow paced gaming though, keeping my villagers happy and visiting nook mile islands when they move on. And the updates hook me back in again for a few days. But Id say if New Leaf grew old for you New Horizons probably will too, it might just hook you for longer because of the greater customising options and events!!

Mr E · 14-10-2020 10:53AM

I played NL for maybe 50 hours when it came out. I think I played NH for almost 200?
Yes it does run out of steam, but after 200+ hours, you can't really fault that.

It's a lovely easy going game that can suck you in for a bit of time every day for months....

skerry · 14-10-2020 12:21PM

Thanks folks. I might give it a go. I have a 10 pound amazon credit to use so even if I decide its not for me in a month or so I'll have lost nothing if I decide to trade it in after that.

Wouldn't say I lost interest in New Leaf, I just didn't give it enough time to get the town going I'm only at the stage where I can make public works and looking at the cost of them there's a whole new reason to go off getting bells to improve the town.

I pick up my Switch a whole lot more that the 2DS, which I mainly got for JRPGs so I'm thinking I might be more inclined to log in to AC there and make a bit of progress each day I do. That in addition to it looking far prettier on the Switch I'm thinking might be enough to suck me in. Worst case, I'll definitively know if AC games are for me or not. Think I might go for it.

A lot of the games I've been playing of late are pretty bleak, Doom, TLOU2, Darkest Dungeon and the like so I think I might need some brightness and cheer in my gaming life.

Sounds like a plan! It is a real feel-good game, but its not for everyone. I've only ever played Professor Layton, Harvest Moon, Sims & Animal Crossing so its right up my street. I'd be no good at the faster paced action games. My son however thinks its the most boring thing ever and only picks up my switch to dress my character in ridiculous outfits!!!

Princess Peach · 14-10-2020 02:58PM

In New Horizons you can decorate outside of your house so much more, that's my favourite part of he game and I'm still doing this almost weekly.

In New Leaf you just had the public works, and I never had enough bells to finish them. But in New Horizons its so easy to make a lot of money if you can sell your turnips online then you can pretty much do everything you want to decorate the island, and its easy to find places to trade and catalogue furniture.

skerry · 14-10-2020 04:32PM

Thanks again for the input folks. I went ahead and ordered it so I should be enjoying island life sometime next week. I'll no doubt be back with questions for the more experienced AC folks who have been playing since release. Plan on playing the game at my own pace as a chill experience.

Hi, whoever’s in charge of the list of players - I just submitted my new self, if you could delete the old island that would be great (delete Antartar)
So I have a shiny new switch, and a shiny new island! Starting again has been a lot of fun. I didn’t take up any of the kind offers here to get stuff, as I’ve really enjoyed going back to poverty and living the simple life. I’m not in a hurry to develop, just letting things evolve. The pumpkins have triggered a bad hoarding problem I didn’t realise I had...
Looking forward to Halloween, and if anyone wants to go trick or treating can we join up?

The only thing I’m missing a lot are my ‘friends’, my starting islanders were awful (Diva the frog, ugh). I’m hoarding nook miles tickets, and I will find you Ribbot - even though you wont remember me..

rumplyconch · 15-10-2020 07:57PM

Shooting stars and Celeste here tonight if anyone still needs?? Gala crafting a spooky tower too. Gates open so work away

RedRochey · 15-10-2020 11:06PM

Anyone have spare real art to trade? I've real worthy, academic and quaint paintings

Also have fake jolly, wild left half, quaint, moving, scenic and serene paintings and gallant, informative, mystic and ancient statues

I'd take the real worthy if you want to trade for real common, glowing or serene.

I'll take the common painting please, what's your AC name so I can post it to you?

skerry · 16-10-2020 04:46PM

Game arrived today so I've got my island going and just been tottering around fishing and picking weeds and other basic activities. Have nearly 4000 Miles so nearly enough to pay initial loan. Any advantage to paying off on first day. Also, is there anything I absolutely should or shouldn't do apart from the obvious chores on the first couple of days ?

TK Lemon · 16-10-2020 05:42PM

I’ve been playing every day since I got it in March, but most of the time lately, it’s just been to check the shops, post and town hall...

I’m in the process of flattening my whole island and redesigning it. Starting to enjoy playing it again.

Don’t hurry, enjoy yourself. And don’t spoil the game by time travelling. Catch fish and chill out :cool:

Sound. That's the plan anyway. Been doing plenty fishing but only just realised I can give fish and bugs to Tom Nook to initiate Blathers coming along. Definitely not doing the time travel thing.

Can I have a second local player on my island, reckon herself might enjoy pottering around with me

Yes, just make sure your second player knows that they will be slightly limited compared to player 1 - won’t be able to sell plots, or place bridges or ramps.

Princess Peach · 17-10-2020 01:52PM

Lovely Merengue is in boxes today if anyone has an empty plot and would like her!

Princess Peach · 17-10-2020 01:57PM

Also if any new players here want a whole load of DIY recipes please let me know! My recycle box is nearly full with them!

I'll take anything that might be if use to a second day AC noob

Unfortunately, I have no clue how this works or what I need to do on my end.

Do you have the Nintendo online membership? If you do then you can add me as a friend in the switch menu and then use your airport to fly over to my island. Just need to let me know so I'm online and open the gate at my airport.
My friend code is SW 5122 3603 6242
