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

[JellyBeans]

anybody know what the closest is that you can put two villager houses together? I meant to figure it out today but didn't remember until I'd placed the house down. I've had houses with a one block gap between them before - I'm guessing it's not possible to put them directly next to each other?

Anyone have any idea how much is a Zen fence and hedge?

 

[Ras]

I know the answer to this, but I want to make sure. Let's say I have Renee as a starting uchi and I want her real house. I don't want to bother with having someone hold her, so I let her void. I then TT ahead until her house is a plot. Can I then go to someone's island who has Renee in boxes and get her no problem? Like I said, I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, because I once voided Zucker and immediately saw him on a mystery island when I had an empty plot. But, I want to make sure because she is in the void, that I can get her right away from someone else.

And, yes, I do know that she won't be my Renee and won't remember a thing about me.

Hey, I have a quick question:
Judy is living on my island right now, but lives in a "wrong" house (Quillson lived on the spot before her). My question is, if someone adopts her, will she has her real house on the new island? Help would be appreciated, thank u^^

The zen fence can be obtained for 1000 nook miles and it needs 3 iron nuggets, clay and stone in order to make it.
The hedge fence can be obtained during Nature day and it needs 10 clump of weeds, 5 tree branches and 2 stone to be made.

Yes, you can invite another Renee immediately after you get an empty plot. The 16 villager cycle in NL doesn't exist in NH.

She will have the correct house when adopted.

How do you do the little flip into the ocean (instead of just walking/hopping in normally)? I can't figure it out ggkdhg

So you dash b while running and press a at the same time on the pier and you will do a flip.
Hope this helps

What time does Saharah leave? I saw her this morning but didn't have time to talk to her and now I can't find her anywhere. Google says 5am, but ONE source says midnight. If it's midnight I don't want to waste any more time looking

Hi! I don’t own New Horizons yet but am getting it for my birthday (Jul 9) and I just had a question about the birthday party feature. Since I will be starting the game for the first time on my birthday, will I get a birthday party? Or will I have to wait until next year I always have my New Leaf birthday but want to experience it in NH as well!

When your villager wears custom clothing, does it go into their inventory/wardrobe permanently, or is it only for a certain amount of time?

question: if you want to build your town, but your museum isnt complete; if you move the rivers and up-cliff ponds will it affect the fish and bugs that appear in them?
i want to build my town and the rivers are quite big, which i will need to re-arrange in order to fit the buildings where i want them to go but im worried that once i begin moving them the fish and bugs wont appear like theyre supposed to.
has anyone had an issue with this?

Fish and bugs will appear normally once you put back your rivers and such! You can completely change your island and fish and bugs will spawn normally.
Certain bugs will need flowers to spawn, such as butterflies. Some need bushes, some just spawn on grass. It depends!
The same goes for fish, some need the ocean (you cant really mess that one up haha), some a pond (a body of water that isn't moving in any direction) and some need a river (water moving in a direction, aka i think it has to have a waterfall or river mouth connected to it?)

From my experience it's there permanently unless you give them other clothes to replace it. The wardrobe system is pretty weird though so who knows haha

I'm not actually super sure but it would be weird if you didn't. If you're super worried about it I'd set your switch time to July 8th and time travel forward once you've finished the tutorial and maybe completed some tasks for tom nook (of course, unless you dont want to time travel)
I don't think starting on your birthday will impact anything though!
Good luck!! If you need any help feel free to ask me!

Yes, and it will even travel with them if the villager gets adopted. We’ve seen reports here of getting an animal with an offensive custom shirt. And, complaining to Isabelle either is or was broken, because the shirt would be removed and come back the next day. So, be really sure it’s something you want them to wear.

Does anyone know if you can get models of the new sea creatures? Like, can you get them through C.J. when he visits?

...Or am I collecting three of a bunch of them for nothing


EDIT: Oh! And along those same lines, anyone know if C.J. will buy them? I haven't had him in my game since the update, obviously

You currently can't get models, unfortunately. I guess there's always the chance of it being added in a future update, so maybe you can save extras of some of the rarer/harder to get creatures just in case?

Boo, too bad

Well, hopefully it'll be part of the second summer update!

Thank you! I think I’ll do what you said and set my switch time to one day prior just in case!
