Am I the only one who is really annoyed with these giant villager homes? Why do we have to build one for every one that we unlock(2 for moana/maui)? There just isn't space for these things. Even the ones in the water feel like they are in the way. Do we have to keep them placed once the villager is there? Do we need access to them(besides the first time to get chests/memories/whatever)? I placed the ones in the water near the shore cause Idk if we need to have access to them or not and the beach(which already feels cluttered) is now more so. I really wish the houses were smaller or could be removed after they move in. Also every time I talk to ursula i have the lets go see your house option. when i click it it takes me alone to her house but the option doesnt go away. anyone know why?

You can move the villager houses wherever you like once you've properly built them via Scrooge. I know what you mean about them being so big though. Remy's house is waaaaaay too big for him especially as he's the smallest character in the game. I'm actually going to move all my magical characters (Merlin, Ursula and Mother Gothel etc) to either the Forbidden Forest or the Forgotten Lands as their houses and their overall characters seem to suit those areas better. In turn that will obviously make space for other characters I unlock in the future so that it doesn't become too over crowded in certain areas.

As for Ursula I haven't spoken to her since I moved her in, if I have the same problem I'll let you know but my quest for her at the moment is to see what she needs in her home. I did have a similar issue with Maui and it turned out I just needed to follow through with a quest to go to his realm to collect some items and now I'm waiting for one of my tools to upgrade once I give him a 5 star meal.

I don't mind the villager homes...but I will definitely be moving mine around when I get a bit further along. A few of them I placed in weird spots just to progress...but they never felt like they belonged where I put them. My one complaint about the homes, honestly, is that they make you pay to build them. Like...was that really necessary? I hardly ever enter Scrooge's shop, because any time I have 20,000 or 30,000 coins saved up, I know I will need them to build or upgrade something. Literally not gonna get around to buying any clothes or furniture until I've built and upgraded everything else. Which hardly seems like the intended direction of a game like this. (It was definitely more balanced in Animal Crossing with the loans).

thanks. something occurred to me about ursula. maybe that option is there so that you can put it further out in the water and still have access to it if/when you need it. i'm going to see if maui's house has the same option and if it does i will consider that confirmation of my thinking. i know you can move the houses but they still take up too much space. i like your idea of moving those characters to those realms, it does fit them.

yes i hate that we have to pay for the houses too. and i agree about the price of things especially in scrooge's shop(he's worse than the nooks lol). whats really weird is i saw a bed for like 1750 and then a backpack for 11,000! i think yall have that backward lol.

I'm not sure how far out in to the water you can place those characters houses although do know not to put any in front of the pier as you need that space open for one of Maui's quests. I'm hoping you can place some further out though especially if they give our characters the ability to swim later on which will also make use of how much ocean they've added to the game yet we can only paddle between the main island and the mini islands.

I completely agree about the price ratio, I was watching a live stream with Console Catio last night and even she said the ratio of the prices was absurd and needed to be sorted out. It's no wonder everyone is mass farming pumpkins, okra and cotton right now to line their pockets so they can spend without going broke all the time... myself included.

I agree what people are saying about the villagers homes there are way to big and the rat has the bigger one and he is small

I checked and maui does not have the visit my house option like ursula so that rules out my idea. i put maui and ursula's houses to the left near the cave she was trapped in so at least they are somewhat out of the way. it would be cool if we can swim at some point

 

[LuchaSloth]

Swimming would definitely solve the placement issues for the homes that go in the water. I would just put them out at sea as standalone islands, leaving my coastline open for fishing.

Just a heads up for those doing the star path event. I finished the last task today and went to buy the items(I had previously bought 3 items from the 1st page and nothing else). Idk if there is a glitch, a missing task or if they want to force you to use moonstones to buy pixar balls but you don't earn enough for everything. I thought that once you did all the tasks you would have enough pixar balls to buy everything but this isn't true. When I got to page 5 I realized I wasn't going to have enough but it forced me to buy every item on that page to get to the last page and then I was out of pixar balls. The last page is 175 moonstone. The only other way is if I buy pixar balls with moonstones and you get 10 balls for 200 moonstone so why would I spend 200 to get 175? So I'm really mad right now. So make sure you buy the items you want most first or if you want that last moonstones make sure you have enough pixar balls to buy out the whole 5th page once you unlock it. I sent an email to gameloft and i hope they fix this.

EDIT: just wanted to add that i have read about people having other issues with the star path like being unable to buy items. you get a message like unable to complete transaction or not available right now something along those lines. i was also getting that message but i was able to buy the items after trying several times. idk if this had anything to do with my not having enough pixar balls just thought i'd mention it for added info. also i read that gameloft is aware of and looking into those issues so hopefully it will be patched soon.

Thanks for this. I bought some of the items from PixarFest yesterday but I didn't check to see if I actually had them so I will when I log on to play later on today. I have a heads up of my own for anyone who has started decorating, apparently there's a limit to how many decorative items you can use in each biome. Apparently it's 600 only (now) and I believe this includes trees and bushes alongside any craftable or bought items from Scrooge too.

Also one little nifty tip I picked up yesterday is if you want (for example) to use more trellis but don't have enough materials to craft more, pick one up and delete it. Then head to Scrooge's shop and ask to buy more furniture and he'll have it in stock. Basically whatever is in your storage will be in Scrooge's as well meaning you won't have to waste valuable crafting materials to make more when you're decorating your valley. The same goes for items that unlock as you level up although I don't know if its the same for items you unlock when your friendship levels up with villagers doing their daily tasks.

This game looks like it will be here for a long time to come so many characters there can add i really hope we also get snow at Christmas

 

[LuchaSloth]

I finally upgraded the watering can to remove the larger mushroom clusters and my pickaxe to clear the large coral from the beach. Such a relief to have the burden of those stupid blockades gone.

Why are the houses so big not enough space to put them anyway I wish there would place there home down for you

 

[LuchaSloth]

Feel like I'm about to run out of things to do very soon. I mean...there will always be plenty of tasks to obtain more dreamlight and stuff...but the main tasks are about to end for me. I only need to unlock the Forgotten Lands now. This will require 15,000 dreamlight, which sounded impossible not too long ago...but I just spent 10,000 to unlock the Frosted Heights and I already have about 3,000 again. So...I'll have that 15k soon enough. And then it will just be grinding to do everyone's level 10 quests. Then I guess I'll just be waiting until they make more of the doors in the castle available. Which is not a terrible thing. Seems like I'll finally be able to save some coins and do some much needed maintenance on the actual layout of my town (of which I have literally done none). Also, it sounds like Lion King and Toy Story doors are supposed to be available soon (?)

I think the idea with the big houses is to place some in other biomes as oppose to just the plaza, peaceful meadow and dazzle beach. I’ve seen a lot of other players place Ursula’s house in the Glades of Trust as the glow from her house matches the glowing flowers.

I myself have already moved Goofy’s house to where Merlin was originally and made a huge farm. Also I’ve found placing Remy’s house and restaurant on the left hand side of the plaza against the tall rocks makes both building look less monstrous in size.

 

[daringred_]

ironically, i've got most of the houses (i think; i'm only missing three characters, and two of them will go on the beach/water) and empty space is still a big issue for me. maybe it's because i potentially haven't picked up every material yet, but it feels like there's a lack of outdoor specific furniture. you can craft a bunch of different flowerbeds, but that mostly feels like it. the one fountain i've unlocked (i haven't received mickey's yet, i have a backlog of quests lmao) is way too big imo, and i think the game could definitely benefit from smaller variants if there aren't already any. i have mickey, minnie, scrooge and remy + his restaurant in the plaza, along with my own house and a garden. goofy is in the meadow, and i plan to move all his carts there (if the game will let me anyway) to make a mini market. wall-e is also there with his own garden, and i'll move merlin to the grove, probably.

but, yeah, for me, beyond the plaza + meadow, the biomes feel pretty dead at the moment. i've no doubt that will change as the game ages, since most of the princess and the frog cast would suit the grove, too, but right now i have no idea how to go about decorating anything beyond the plaza and meadow. i cheated scrooge's quests for this by using the trellis walls to make little enclosures for each of the pillars i've unlocked lmao.

Does anyone know if there is a list of how much longer it takes to grow crops outside their biomes? I have read it takes longer but nothing on how much longer. Also is that the reason they have to be watered more than once or does that happen either way? Trying to figure out if it's worth it to plant closer to my house or not. Fyi I read that as of now there is no way to get rid of the bones blocking the bridges in the sunlit plateau so the only way across is to repair the well and move it to the other side(thank you again @TalviSyreni for this tip it has been a life saver).

I think they take a little longer to grow outside of their biomes but not a massive amount, I've been growing pumpkins in the Peaceful Meadow as well as their original home The Forgotten Lands and I don't notice much of a difference. Both sets still take four hours to grow and need watering twice, and I still get a nice bonus amount with a farming buddy. The only thing I can think of is the pumpkins are bigger if grown in their own biomes as I did have some slightly skinny and smaller pumpkins from my meadows plot.

Beware when it comes to decorating, apparently you can only have up to 600 items in each biome, this doesn't include trees and shrubs thankfully but still a pain in the butt if you like to make your spaces feel full. Ive seen some amazing builds on Instagram but you can tell they've reached the 600 limit and with the game being in Early Access you just know that what we're unlocking (items wise) isn't even half of what the game probably plans to release when the game becomes free for all next year.

oh, don't worry !! i'm only at 300 item wise in the plaza. most of my void fill is shrubs and trees, which don't count, like you said. it would probably be higher, but it looks like you can't craft more of the white picket fence for some reason? or at least google didn't help me find the answer ajfkfkska, so if anyone here knows

i don't keep up with their socials or anything, but i wonder if they plan to add any more characters etc. before it goes free to play. there are still three months left of this year, and i suspect most people who have it early access will have basically reached endgame at that point and have enough dreamlight to auto-unlock any additional biomes they may add. (kind of makes me wish there was a dreamlight -> coins conversion feature since i now have no need for it afaik.)

Someone on Reddit was asking about the picket fence and apparently what we start with is all we're getting... for now, which is a shame as everyone loves using that particular fence. The only update we have coming is Scar from The Lion King in "Early Fall" and Toy Story in "Late Fall". I have a feeling we'll get new characters every season (e.g. late winter and spring etc) until the game is released for free and then we'll have to start paying for add on's like you do with The Sims franchise.

oof, i really hope they don't completely lock characters beyond a paywall, since that's arguably core gameplay. it would be like pocket camp locking new villagers behind leaf tickets, which they would understandably face backlash for. in my opinion, it should mostly only be aesthetic items that go behind a paywall. if they plan to do it with actual characters, i hope they go 50/50 at the very least. for example, everyone is given scar, simba and nala, but mufasa and sarabi can be bought together to 'complete' the lion king set in the collection tab. of course, i'd prefer they just stick with (better) exclusive clothes and furniture and things like a collection of various cat and dog companions costing real money/moonstones, but. this is disney, so my faith in them is below zero rip.
