[GUIDE] The PERFECT Snowboy Trick ⛄⛄⛄

[Rosch]

I did my first Snowboy without any guide. I know all first Snowboys will always be perfect. But after talking to him several times, he told me that he wasn't a perfect build.

And wow... apparently, there's a Nook Mile achievement for creating Perfect Snowboys! 1, 10, then 20. I didn't know because my first one wasn't perfect.

I quickly made my first Snowboy this morning with the Reddit guide and also checked with the eye alignment guide because I had to get to work. It turned out imperfect, too.

Ugh, this is a tomorrow morning me problem to deal with...

No snowballs spawned on my island today.

Ok, I had to take down Stonehenge and two of them spawned! Got the dung beetle, my last bug to catch! All I need are two more sea creatures and my museum will be 100% complete!

I tried eyeballing it. It looked perfect to me. The Snowboy disagreed.

I still have snowboy making skills!

For those struggling with making them, what you can do is, unless the snowboy says it’s perfect, reset your game as soon as you see it complain. It’s like the campsite villagers, where it doesn’t save when you complete them.

I tried it a few times because I am stubborn and impatient and didn't feel like rolling big snowballs, and got a perfect small one after a few tries

It took me longer than it would have to set up this trick though. Nice advice, I might use it some time!

Somehow, the sizes made by the path trick are different in size (but a little bit) compared to the ear alignment trick.

I stuck with the ear trick. I zoomed in with the game camera and used a paper/ruler to check the heights. Got a perfect snowboy. Will probably use this rather than the path one.

I realized where I messed up yesterday on the first Snowboy with this trick. Be careful not to position the first snowball, which forms the body, too far away from the 10-square long path you lay down.

I think I had it positioned a whole square away yesterday. Today, I had it positioned about half a square away, and the Snowboy turned out perfect. Live and learn. XD

Tried and failed reset so many times as I kept smashing snowballs so near yet so far. Ah well tomorrow is another day

WOAH I didn't know about this, this trick is crazy helpful. Thanks so much for sharing

 

[Underneath The Stars]

thank you, seems easy to follow... now where are my friends getting the info that it has to be a clear ground

 

[Lynnatchii]

Thank you so much!

Thanks, I was about to give up today making a snowman until spotting this!

I think there's a misunderstanding. All first snowboys will give you a reward, but they are certainly not automatically perfect. In my case, the next 3 days the snowman didn't give me anything since he was imperfect.
