New Horizons F.A.Q. – Ask Questions Here!

So I know this says you can't move Resident Services or the Airport, but I can't for the life of me remember, did we have a choice in either of those placements to begin with?

No, it’s placed for you and the only way to change it is to reset

Is there any benefit to adding new accounts to your island for decoration purposes? I recall in New Leaf, you could have more than one and you were able to use those extra characters to have more slots for custom designs. Is this still the case? Will other characters also be able to access the island designer app, or are they only able to put designs on top of existing paths?

Sadly, you get no extra design slots in this game.

Can people steal dig up flowers when visiting your island?

Is the sandy-beach flooring a regular DIY and not part of this summer seasonal event?

Can people steal dig up flowers when visiting your island?

Visitors can only use a Shovel or Axe if they're added as a Best Friend. Regular visitors won't be able to dig the whole flower. However, all visitors can pluck blossoms from fully-grown flowers or destroy the blossoms by running over them.

Is the sandy-beach flooring a regular DIY and not part of this summer seasonal event?

Yes, the Sandy-beach Flooring is just a regular DIY that is given out by Jock villagers.

Anyone knows if a villager can get the thought bubble and ask to move away when another villager has birthday on that day?

I believe a villager can’t get a thought bubble if their birthday was in the last 7 days or is in the next 7 days.

I was trying to make an orchard and I thought that I spread out all of my tree saplings evenly. I have 10 rows, each row has an empty grassy row in between, and I planted 6 trees per row with two empty spaces between each tree. Today, I see that all the trees on the outermost 2 rows are growing, as well as the top and bottom trees of each row. But all the trees in the middle are stunted. I don't understand what spacing rule I'm breaking?

You're not strictly breaking a spacing rule, but trees don't really like growing in a cluster like that. The ones inside the cluster will tend to not grow.

I'm not sure what the exact parameters are, because it doesn't really matter since you can just move all those inner trees elsewhere, grow them there, then transplant them back once they're fully grown. I'd recommend doing that.

Is it true that villagers will only wear clothing that matches their preference, and that clothing that doesn’t match their preference will be displayed in their home?

That's what I will do, thanks! I really wanted to keep all my fruit trees in a central location.

lets say Leif, Kicks or Label visited your island one day. can Celeste still come at night time with them there or is it only on days where no one’s there?

Celeste appears independently of other visitors, so she can appear at any night as long as it has the right weather pattern.

As an aside, there should be one visitor everyday. Leif/Saharah/Kicks appear every week. Label/Redd/C.J./Flick fight for the remaining 2 weekday slots. Saturday has K.K. Slider and Sunday has Daisy Mae. Celeste appears separately from all of them, and Wisp appears separately still. So the maximum number of visitors you can have is a daytime visitor, Celeste, and Wisp all at the same time.

I found the in depth island eval guide with the point breakdown, but it left me with 2 questions.

1) You can give door plates & wreaths to villagers for them to display on their doors. Since these are outside, do they contribute towards the island eval points?

2) The guide mentioned unique furniture getting extra island eval points, if you take the same item and customize it two ways, does that now count as two unique furniture items for the purposes of scoring? What about 2 identical items with variable colors (not from customization?

Hi! Does time traveling to seasonal events such as the bamboo event and cherry blossom event work? Like can you get the recipes and the materials? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I only got ANCH this month! Thanks in advance to whoever answers <3

 

[JellyLu]

I apologize if this was answered already (I did look, but I'm tired so I may have missed it), but has anyone ever had a day where no villager crafts? Mine usually can be found crafting throughout each day but NO BODY was found crafting at any point today. I checked every house multiple times. I'm confused

Hi guys! I was wondering, when you start out with your island, at what point during the process can you invite a villager from another island? Is it after the obligatory smug campsite visitor or can I invite someone to the decorated plots Tom nook tells the character to put down?

I'm not sure, but I'm 99% sure if you get them when you have the 3 furnished houses, they'll be unoriginal?

from the acnh reddit time-travel guide:

Spoiler

Q: Can I go back and get spring, cherry blossom, summer, fall, mushroom, festive, winter DIYs and materials?

A: Yes, all of these are available simply by TT to the proper dates for the events. See below.

Q: Can I still participate in the holiday events?

A: For the ones that have been released, yes you can! Currently available are Bunny Day, Earth Day and Mayday. Currently, they are locked to only being available during the year they were released (2020).

Q: Can I TT forward to other holidays and events?

A: Any events not listed above need to be unlocked by a patch from Nintendo before you can access them. If you see people with items before this time they have obtained them by hacking.

Thanks, I've made peace with it!
