Blue balloon yesterday, red sparkler today. So presume all the redd party stuff will rotate

Changes being made to our island as me and Mrs Dodge have they week off

Stop, I have tonnes of sparklers too! Was only delighted with myself planning on whipping them out at meteor showers and showing off :pac:

Have a spare real Moody Painting if anyone has anything to trade?

I do, usually my net hits the tree whilst the swarm gets into my face. My net skills need refining

Stand in front of the tree when you're shaking it, while holding your net. When the nest drops, you'll automatically turn to face it, so you just need to swing the net, and you'll catch them without any issues.

I have a real serene painting if you want to trade?

I have to work late today but I'll let you know when we can do the swap, anyway I will hold onto it for you so we can find a good time

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 5:03pm

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

Princess Peach · 07-09-2020 7:16pm

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

cee_jay · 07-09-2020 7:17pm

Mine are open too!

Dodge · 08-09-2020 1:47pm

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 2:32pm

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...

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

RedRochey · 08-09-2020 10:05pm

Ankha is in boxes if anyone wants her?

rumplyconch · 09-09-2020 7:31pm

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!

cee_jay · 11-09-2020 8:11pm

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 7:32pm

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

Haven't played much in the past few weeks but jeeze they really know how to make you feel guilty!!

Haven't gotten a recipe in a bottle on the beach in ages, this happen anyone else?

I still get them daily

tbahh · 23-09-2020 12:25pm

It's now been just over six months since this game was released. Are many people still playing this game on a regular basis anymore or even at all?

I'm mostly just checking in the odd few days to see if Redd is around, but apart from that, I probably wouldn't be spending more than ten minutes at a time.

I'm hoping they introduce something new (and substantial) soon like new buildings or gameplay mechanics to entice me back in further!

RedRochey · 23-09-2020 12:43pm

I'm still playing it everyday but only to do a few jobs, I've great plans in my head to do up the whole island but I just never get around to doing them

I was a bit disappointed with the September update, was expecting something new to keep people interested

Mr E · 23-09-2020 1:14pm

I've bailed. I checked one day last week to see what turnip prices were, but other than that, I don't think I've played for about 4 or 5 weeks.

I will see what they add for the autumn update. If they add lots of new stuff to do, I'll jump back in (and spend an hour pulling weeds).

Dodge · 23-09-2020 5:34pm

I still play but defo not as much as in April/May

The rest of the family are the same. Mrs Dodge might go in once a week now

Should point out we all have less free time now too for a variety of reasons

holly_johnson · 23-09-2020 5:41pm

I still hop on every day, but defo have less enthusiasm (and time!). I log on every evening to see if who my visitor is for the day. I'm due a meteor shower tomorrow night, so I'll probably hop on for a while then.
Like Red Rochey, I have plans to change loads of the island, but find myself playing other games instead. Spiritfarer is probably the game that broke my addiction to AC.

Hannibal_Smith · 24-09-2020 7:57am

I haven't been on in weeks. I still owe 500k for my last extension. Will be lucky if the bailiffs haven't packed my stuff up in boxes!

It's not that my island is fab with no room left for anything... I just ran out of imagination

Rhyme · 24-09-2020 9:21am

Haven't touched it in a month I think. Life and other games have taken over

I bought it digitally so I'll feel obliged to further its value before too long I'm sure

Princess Peach · 24-09-2020 10:38am

I still play a bit everyday to check the visitors and the shops, celebrate any birthdays.

Been playing a bit longer then on weekends making changes to the island now it's Autumn. I love doing that, find it really relaxing. Have a lil jumble sale, a fishing spot and revamped my front yard. Once October hits I have some nice Halloween plans.

Just hoping this new update comes soon to see what they plan for Halloween, and praying for some extra custom design slots!

Mr E · 24-09-2020 11:49am

From Tuesday: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Fall Update Is 'Around The Corner', Says Nintendo

I think it will be sooner rather than later. Some even say it could be this week.

Dodge · 25-09-2020 2:05pm

Update next week. Trailer released. Mrs Dodge is back in...
