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

I have another question, in addition to the one I made above. If a villager is missing one of their original items and I give them the exact item that is missing? will it go in the spot it is supposed to go, or is there a chance that the villager might put it elsewhere?

You have the best chance with tabletop items. Make absolute sure you have the *exact color and variation* of any item you give. Here is a guide:

As to tournaments changing houses, it hasn't for me. I will be mad if it ever does!

Thank you so much! A tabletop item is what my villager is missing. There is currently a document stack on the center of the desk where the computer should go.

Okay, when you get to my link, DO click on the House Viewer Website at the top. I didn't do that until just now and it looks VERY helpful. I don't understand what the second color listed is, but it looks like the first color is the item color. I've had a hard time figuring out what Audie's wall fan color is, and that website says light blue, which makes sense.

You can get tabletop items removed by giving a lot of hanging gifts. I don't know if that's a necessary step before regifting the item, but it's a possibility. I would recommend caution if your villager has hanging items because those will get removed, too. Supposedly, it won't affect floor furniture. But, I'm not expert. Study the guide.

Thanks again! The other item on the desk is supposed to be to the right of the desktop so hopefully it will just be moved to the right once I give the villager the desktop. Kinda nervous about it but I’ll give it a shot.

question: ive been watching a lot of town videos online and noticed that there are MANY people that have items in game that arent available to others. for instance; i saw someone had a bunch of different clear stained glass panels that had designs on them. we have panels in the game that you cant customize, and i dont have any social media apps to trade/buy products. the ability to make some items arent in the Custom Designs app either *i know clear stained glass panels arent...are they? i checked for the ability to opaque in there and havent found one yet; or the panels*.
my question is: how are people creating these specific items and uploading them to the game *if so please point me in the right direction for instructions*; or is there something that im missing on the 'how to' portion of Custom Designs?

Can you provide a video with a time stamp? It sounds like a stain glass design on a simple panel but I would need to see it they did a save edit.

I think I know what you are talking about. Something like this?

These designs are created in your custom design app. Simple panels are then used to get the customized pattern onto them.
The clear ones you saw are probably just illusions and they aren't actually opaque.

I have a question about the rocks that spawn. I'm currently making a Rock garden and it took a while to get it to work . I have 5 rocks in my garden, but after some terra-forming the sixth spawned on spots where I didn't want it to. So, I placed some extra mannequins, placed some stone tiles and destroyed that rock, hoping that it would spawn in the right place, today.

However, Muffy moved in last night, the rock hasn't spawned anywhere on my island (despite checking every nook and cranny), so I'm a little worried.

Has Muffy's house despawned the rock? (is that a possibility)
Should I be concerned?
I suppose I could just wait and see, if it will spawn tomorrow, but I'm just curious if there is something else.

It's most likely that either the rock spawned somewhere else and you missed it, or it cannot spawn anywhere so it's not appearing. Make sure you have no cliffs or rivers or building in front of the sport you want your last rock in, there's a very helpful document you should find easily by doing a quick search on the forum (sorry I'd link it but cannot at the moment)

Open for questions!

I am new to A.C. Is there a way to stop hearing the same dialog with the shop owners? they repeat over and over. Not sure if there s something in settings. If not oh well. Love the game. My children bought me the Switch and A.C. For Mother’s Day. I’m 51 playing and LOVING this game. Lol.

 

[Toska]

Regarding Villager House Restoration, if I gift a large sum of wall-mounted items, will the gifted/fish that they display go away? And then could I gift them their original furniture?

Sorry if it's a silly question, but one of my villager's house is way over gifted. Thanks

There is not. All the other previous AC games have repetitive dialogue. You can hold A or left bumper to make the dialogue go a little faster.

They might get rid of their original furniture instead. I think their furniture storage is 30 or 50. So you would need to gift them enough to get rid of their unwanted items and gift them back the original. But they might not even place the original items in the same spot

Oh, that makes since. So how would be the best way to go about it? I've read the guides and such, but I'm still not sure I'm understanding. For example, my villager (Bam) has 2 fish where an upright locker should be. How would you fix it? Just try to gift the item in mass in hopes he replaces it?

I wouldn't mass gift. I would give him one locker and wait a few days and check to see if the fish are gone.

Alright. I'll try that out. Thanks!

I went around the island again, but sadly no rock. I replaced every single mannequin with stone tiles, leaving some spots near trees empty, for the fossils to spawn in and time traveled to tomorrow. It spawned in the place it was to spawn in to, so I guess crisis averted, haha.
I could've done this, before asking but thank you for your patience.

I didn’t give my villager anything yet and I went to visit him and both of his document stacks were missing. Good news is that after i just ordered him a desktop that was missing yesterday, the desktop is there. Is there a way to keep him from putting the items away? since i know he still has the document stacks (since I saw them both yesterday), I’m kinda nervous about giving him new ones. Should I give him new ones or wait to see if he plans on putting all his furniture out again? I’d hate to mess up his house if he does eventually put it back up.

It sounds like things are on rotation. I’ve heard of that, where one day one thing will be displayed and the next another might be. If you can live with it, I’d probably leave it alone at this point, but I do ask that others reading this give you advice if they have better ideas.

Yeah; I’d hate to make it worse than it is. At least I know he has all the items. Thank you so much again for your time; I really appreciate it! I can live with it, though it does bother my anxiety a bit since I like having my villagers houses a certain way. lol

question: how do you get *and is it even possible to do this at all* your paths to 'match up'?
what i mean is that when youre in construction mode and you put down a pathway, but you want to also put another different path up against it and you try, theres always a space of grass in between the pathways. sooo my question is; how do you remove that green space of grass so the pathways go together properly?
