• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Making journals/spreadsheets to prepare for New Horizons?

This is a very good idea. I use spreadsheets for other stuff, so I might for this game as well.

It also depends how early on we unlock the Museum to donate fish and bugs to as well. If it takes a few days, then I might go ahead and log everything I've caught but not donated in a spreadsheet if there is not an in-game feature that tells you. I usually donate creatures the first time I catch them, but I'm not going to wait to make bells if it takes awhile for the museum.
 
I eventually did this for Animal Crossing: New Leaf to fill out my encyclopedia, museum, and music collection. I’m not sure yet if and how I’d like to go about this for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. On the one hand, I want to play the game blind. But I’m also into collecting everything and making sure I’m not missing something before the month is done.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf I played my first year totally blind, and then used a spreadsheet to get the rest in my second year. For Animal Crossing: New Horizons I’m thinking of using a limited spreadsheet that basically tells me how many things I should have in a given month, but doesn’t tell me exactly what everything I need to catch is, but I’m not sure yet.

Alternatively, I’m hoping there’s something in-game that serves a similar function, but that’s just a hope.

i?ve never done it personally but it?s a neat idea so maybe i will!!
 
I actually am using this organization app called Notion that I use for all other planning aspects of my life with school/work/personal things. It's a really, really beautiful simple system and gives you a lot of freedom. It's an amazing organizational structure! I'm going to use it to keep track of my town's progress and my ideas and plans for it, and maybe a list of the dreamies that I'd like to get.

I haven't set it up yet but I look forward to doing that soon, maybe as a way to hype myself up even more for the game's upcoming release!
 
i have an animal crossing new leaf binder full of these sheets on paper (drawn by me :3) so i'll do them again for new horizons. it's kinda hard to do before the release though because i can't just delete stuff on paper and we do not know the whole encyclopedia and stuff yet. let's see. but i'll make one for sure when we have more information

I LOVE NOTION!

I DO TOO!!! It is so perfect, and flexible!!! I am so excited to use for for ACNH -- I did not have it when I played ACNL a lot so this will be a new method that I use to keep track of things! It'll work wonders compared to my old notebook method lol!
