[GUIDE] The PERFECT Snowboy Trick ⛄⛄⛄

[Rosch]

Tomorrow, December 11th, snow will finally settle on North Hemisphere islands. That means Snowflake and Snowboy DIYs will be available.

But trying to get the right size when building the snowmen can be a total pain. Below is a method that guarantees a perfect snowboy build every time. While you can create perfect snowboys in various sizes, the downside to this method is, you can only have the snowboys in one size.

How to do it:

• Create a straight path that is 10 blocks long. It can be horizontal or vertical. Depends on you.
• Roll the snowballs into their maximum size. Place one ball each on both ends.
  • You know you've reach the maximum size when you finally slowed down as you push the ball.
  • Avoid the path when rolling because it reduces the size.
• Now simply roll one ball through the path into the other. And that's it.

Thanks for always posting these guides!

Thanks as always, great information I didn’t even think that I needed such a large clear space for building snowboys better get clearing an area today. Tomorrow it’s going to snow ️

 

[Airysuit]

Thanks again! Thats a great guide!

Does anyone know how much open space you need to spawn snowballs?

 

[Xara]

you’re amazing!! thank you so much for another incredibly helpful guide!

 

[Galaxite]

Thank you so much for this guide!

Thanks again! Thats a great guide!

I'm not sure but the smallest space they've spawned on my island is about 3x7 squares. The snowballs usually spawn with about 5 empty spaces in between them.

I'm worried now that I have to clear a larger snowball space on my main island. Might have to tear down some things temporarily! But I've left loads of space on my new one so hopefully I can use this method. I'll probably lay down a path tonight to be ready for tomorrow!

Thank you so much! This is very helpful!

I had this problem too. I was having trouble decorating around my teacup ride/amusement park area but then realized I needed snow boy space and just took out the teacup ride and a few other things.

It's actually pretty easy to get the snow boys the right size without a path. The problem with making a path is that snow boys last for 4 days, so you'll need a new path each day and they may get harder to lay down (depending on how much space you have) as a few days pass since you can have 4 snow boys on a given day.

Probably have to move my newly built soccer and basketball courts to accommodate snowballs.

Thank you for yet another super helpful guide!!

There's also this guide that's has been floating since the SH island got their winters. For the people who don't want to change their pathinf on their island and it's a lot easier to change your appearence in the mirror than to terraform.

You can have the head line up to the mouth instead of the ears. Which is what I've been doing for the snow boys.

 

[maria110]

Does anyone know how many squares you need to kick/roll the snow ball over to get it to maximum size? If it's 50 and you reduce it on the 10 squares-long path to 40, then that shows the head is 80% the size of the body and you can make whatever size by using that formula.

I don't normally make big snow people because I don't have much space to roll. I have to keep turning and it takes a long time. So I just make them small or medium sized.

I didn't think about that, that's a good point! I wonder if I could make a path that was almost like a plus sign somewhere so you could do two. I'll probably just try one of the regular ones and see how it goes!

If you don't get the first one perfect, he'll still give a recipe and a large snowflake. After that, if you have any imperfect ones you can close without saving and try again if you want. However, their dialogue is funny and it's worth it to make an imperfect one once in awhile to hear the snark they dispense. I once accidentally pushed a large snow ball into a small snow ball and the resulting snow boy (giant head on small body) unleashed a tirade of insults at me.

thanks, that's helpful. because i'm tt:ing in one of my towns i have already made like 10 bad snowboys and only 2 good ones, looking at the size of the snowballs compared to my character's face is pretty hard ):

i have no idea how casual players who don't look up online guides are supposed to figure out how to make the perfect snowboy. it's so precise...

 

[jokk]

thanks for this! super helpful, i've always had trouble making snowmen since my WW days

 

[niko@kamogawa]

This is really helpful. Thanks for sharing!

In the end, I had to build my first one relying on instincts and gut feel. I am glad it worked out pretty well for me.

I got to do the amazing work that is snowboys back in July and August...it was a pain learning how to perfect it. My mom has contracted me to construct them for Arctin over the winter

After a couple weeks y’all’s should be able to get perfect ones down pat but the first couple days are annoying
