Are there any instruments that look like a flute?

Also, is there a customizable book? That I can change the cover?

I think the closest thing is the bagpipes.

You can customize the stack of books, but no singular book afaik.

The only book that you can change the the cover to with a QR (that I know of) would be the staked magazines. However its 2 stacks, not 1 single book.

I have a bunch of letters with presents in my mailbox, but after the first couple days or so of playing, the option to open presents seemed to disappear. Am I missing something?

I may be mistaken, but I think you should only be able to get the presents if the letters are in your inventory, not while in the mailbox. You can read them in the mailbox, but not obtain the presents. I haven't tried this myself though, so someone might have a more precise answer.

I conveniently managed to forget a step to getting them in the past couple of days. Google wasn't clear, so thank you!

Anyone know of any creepy house plants?
The closest thing that I could think of was the pipe (the Nintendo item)

But any other suggestions greatly appreciated!

 

[aloevert]

i've been putting baskets of fruit in the flea market for villagers to buy. if they buy it, will they ever display it in their house? or is it like ore where you never see it again

I would say the pitcher plant that hangs on the wall (carnivorous), the snake plant (pointy!), and maybe even the succulent plant depending on what else is around it. Even a sapling/bush start placed inside could look neat and minimalistically spooky.

Thank you! I didn’t know the pitcher plant was carnivorous! That’s great!



Also another question. Is there any other lamp that gives out the same lighting effect (reddish) as the gorgeous lamp?

Also another question. Is there any other lamp that gives out the same lighting effect (reddish) as the gorgeous lamp?

Here are a few lamps, lanterns, and lights that gives out a reddish lighting effect:

Red-tasseled Lantern
Balloon-Dog Lamp
Lava Lamp (customized to red)
Small Spotlight (customized to red)
Floor Light (customized to red)
Festival Lantern (customized to red background)
Paper Wall Lamp (customized using red clothing or custom design)
Modern Lamp (customized to red two-tone)
Stained-Glass Lamp (customized to red)
Sleek Lamp (customized to red)
Astro Lamp (customized to black and red)

There are probably more, but these are the ones I could think of right now.

Thank you!!! The small spotlight worked perfectly!

Hi sorry for posting a thread ill close it i was wondering if i start a save file will my mayor be deleted?

If by starting a new file when on the home screen, no. it will just add a second player to your town!

 

[Tsukiko]

But what about the items that you want to give to the second player?

 

[LadyDestani]

But what about the items that you want to give to the second player?

If you start a new save file, you will get a second character in your town. They won't be the mayor, but they will be able to do everything else that your mayor can do outside of mayoral duties.

The only way I know of to give items from one player to another within your town is to drop it on the ground or mail it. I always just drop everything on the ground and then log in with the other character to pick it up. You can't be logged in as both characters and playing at the same time...only one character can be logged in at a time.

I have a question concerning the update - can amiibo villagers that you adpot from your own cards move on paths? from what I understand, villagers you adpot from someone else will not move on paths, but what about from your own cards?

To my knowledge, villagers will not move on top of patterns unless there is absolutely no place they can land on (they had to do that to keep the game from breaking from a programming standpoint).

I can confirm that villagers you move in via Amiibo cards are the same as other villagers that you invite or that move in randomly. They will not move on top of patterns unless there is no viable spot for them to go.

How close can a villager plot to the BEND of a river?
There's not quite a whole foot between the edge of where a villager could plot, to the edge of the river. I'm hoping someone can fit there, I'm considering a second character and I want to move a plot.
But if not I really don't need a second character.

Rivers have no buffer space requirements. Villager's houses (3 horizontal spaces and ~4 vertical spaces) requires one buffer space on the sides and back, and ~two buffer spaces on the front (total of 5 horizontal spaces and ~6 vertical spaces).

A villager can plot in a area if the total space requirements are met. Can't really comment much more without seeing an image of your river bend site.

Here is a villager house space requirements visual aid:
