Let’s Catalogue 2.0 Update Items - currently in stage 1

lol This probably wasn't a serious question, but there's a reason the items turn into leaves when you pick them up, the furniture items are actually just leaves that a tanuki (presumably Tom Nook) turned into an item.
Still! How do those huge items become a leaf? IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!
 
I would love this, and I'd love to tt to help collect everything if I end up having the time/energy. Otherwise I would love to donate bells to anyone who does wanna help collect everything. My schedule is pretty flexible but also my energy levels have been inconsistent so sadly I can't come up with times and days

Edit: and yes I'd like to be pinged
 
16 interested parties so far, pretty good traction 18 days out.
thinking about how to organize gathering the stuff...
also if any of you earlier posters could edit your posts to include question 2.b) that would be appreciated thank you!

Maybe we could work in shifts? Like assign each person a time of day to search, have a list of whatever that person managed to donate, then the next person that searches gets access to that list and finds things that aren't on that list

That's a really good idea! I'm gonna make a signup sheet with time slots for dropping off items.
 
i've started a new island to accommodate the possible large amount of items :)

.... does anyone have simple wooden fencing? I chopped my trees and can't make anymore 😂

won't be needing any more fencing for now, thank you for considering!

Suggestions

  • I recommend collecting all variants of each item for the catalog island. The video showed Cyrus customizing the Lighthouse, which is an airport-locked item, but I don’t know for sure if the customization will apply for the regular individual furniture catalog variants, which are all orderable as separate entries normally. Also, it is more valuable to have the items orderable from the catalog for convenience. Also, gotta make use of the community gathering while we can!
  • Get people to add you as a friend so we can mail each other items when your gates are closed.
  • The limit is 2 items from catalog and 2 items from inventory per day.
  • Rather than using fencing, dividing groups of items by water trenches or by cliff jumps is also useful in that it doesn’t block the view or the player access. The downside is that beaches don’t work for this and laying cliffs is more work.
  • Do not use holes dug up by the regular shovel to divide groups. These disappear overnight.
  • When setting up the catalog areas, grouping items is important for organization, but also the grouping shape can be made more convenient for cataloggers if they have room to drop in a 3x3 grid (order of drop shown here, where the player is in the center and facing the "camera"):
    • 7
    • 9
    • 8
    • 5
    • 1
    • 6
    • 3
    • 2
    • 4
 
1. I love visiting catalogs islands on Facebook so I would absolutely love to visit.
2. Yes to donating and TT.
3. I have weird hours during the week. I can't give hours I am busy since I am on call. Normally my weekends are free.
4. Please ping me.

Just watched the R/C segment again, I noticed "grand piand" and "soft-serve lamp" were customizable through them. So the customization will definitely apply to the regular catalog stuff. Which isn't to say collecting the variants are off the table, I am waiting for some kind of list to come out before deciding.

OH THAT'S GREAT! Phew. No pressure; this is a very kind thing to do and it can be super stressful to host and check the status of all items on a routine basis... I've certainly lost a few items when people disconnect by accident or other issues pop up, so I'm happy to mail backup items whenever.
 
Added my friend code SW-6597-6032-8705 (ShelliBean) to the OP for the option to mail donation items. I think this method works best for non TT-ers who will only be gathering a couple items per day. So I'm pinging some people too see if anyone is interested in registering for friend mail! If you are, add me, and let me know when you'll be available to pay a visit. :)
