Islands only possible with multiple Switches

[Obooloo]

If you have 2 Switches and prefer to have the non-upgraded plaza (or just dislike Isabelle), you might be interested in this:

Start a secondary profile player on your current island, and get the waterscaping and cliff-construction permits for this player. Also make sure this player meets Harv to activate Photopia.

Move this off the island and onto a brand new island so they become the island representative. You can force-quit as many times as you want to get the right island type and two starter villagers.

From day one, you are able to terraform, and you are able to have Nooks Cranny, Able Sisters, the museum, one log bridge, Photopia, and all the NPC visitors except Flick and CJ.

If you don’t speak to Tom Nook after building & placing the log bridge, and you don’t start the 3 housing plots, you will remain with your 2 starter villagers.

Just make sure you are okay with no inclines (I use two warp pipes), and only one log bridge. Also, Sable will not give you her custom designs.

I loved figuring out what was possible at every step of the way, and perhaps some of you want to play this game differently too.

Sadly I only have the digital copy of new horizons and the island transfer doesn't seem to work on both systems I have. The other switch must have another copy of new horizons which I don't, I mean the other system can play the game digitally as long as the other system is deregistered and the person who bought the game can still play it.

So yeah if I wanted to do this I need to get another copy of New Horizons either physical or digital, but yeah it is you can do something like this and it blows my mind how incredible this looks which just only two villagers and yourself.

it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever play the game in this way but I will definitely be checking out your DA later because it’s amazing to me that you can develop the island like that while still only having the bare minimum in terms of islanders and resident services!

Wow! this is really neat, and I did not think it was possible!

I will also be checking your island out later ^-^

I actually did this for a few weeks just because the prologue song was more relaxing.

The island transfer tool isn't needed to transfer players from islands. That's used for transferring the entire island save. There's a built-in feature in NH that transfer single players.

This may be all you need
