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

[Sharksheep]

No. I only went two days ahead and ended on Thursday..

You said you set the date to be yesterday so you didn't roll a new day. Did you set the time so it was after the time you stopped playing yesterday?

You said you set the date to be yesterday so you didn't roll a new day. Did you set the time so it was after the time you stopped playing yesterday?

I didn’t take that into account. I was playing later yesterday and didn’t think the time of day would matter as long as the day itself hadn’t changed. I guess that was my mistake.

Well.. lesson learned I suppose.

Thank you.

Clothing preferences: How much do they matter? If I gift a villager tons of things that don’t fit their colour preferences vs one that does, would I see that one item most often? Or would the volume of other items outweigh their preference?

Also, can anyone tell me or link me to a page that has a complete list of the haunted artwork?

Which month of the year do you get the mom's candle set and mom's pen stand?

Here is an infographic with information on when certain Mom's items are being released. I know many people have gotten them all through time traveling but mine have all gone according to this schedule!

So, I may have completely destroyed every cliff and river in my town... I thought I might be able to start over and make a new design with nice cliffs and everything. But I don't know where to start.

Have I made a big mistake?? How do I begin laying everything out on my island so it looks nice?

am i able to make layout changes to my town (moving houses) on the day of the bug-off?

take it one step at a time and think about things you want to have in your island - a little neighborhood? a shopping district? or things more spread out and natural? focus on creating bits you envision the most first, and find ways to connect it all. browse the forums, watch youtube videos, and look at social media to get inspiration and ideas for what you want to do!

I just have a few things to ask:

1: are there anymore game-breaking glitches associated with letting someone take a villager?

2: Can I turn off my internet at night if someone took a villager earlier in the day (I turn it to airplane mode to avoid void move-ins)? Will it affect the move?

Can you plant the mushroom crafting material and use it for decoration?

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Mushrooms are not plantable or placeable unfortunately. They can be dropped, but I believe they would be able to be picked up by visitors.

 

[craftyshack]

OO thanks! If you drop them would they look like they were planted on the ground?

 

[bam94-]

What determines whether a villager gives you a gift back or not after you give them something? I feel like I always used to get gifts back from villagers in return whereas that rarely happens now! Even though they always say they love the gift I gave them.

Yes they do!

I don't believe so. If they've adopted your villager and you go into airplane mode afterward, nothing will change. You will still have a chance of getting a void villager from anyone that has visited your island if you get a forced move-in. I don't know the exact mechanics, but I believe your void villager move-in queue is saved to your machine like pretty much everything else in the game.

I’ve always been able to avoid a void move-in after I put it on airplane mode. That’s weird. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.

Then I may be mistaken!

Hi everyone,

First time poster here. Quick question: Has there been any data mine re: the special villager activities in the plaza? I.e. when they all sing together/sit down with sunglasses/do zoomies/work out in trios, etc. I've searched but haven't found any threads re: it.

Thank you in advance!

How big does a Pond have to be to spawn fish?

How big does a Pond have to be to spawn fish?

3 x 3 minimum, although larger ponds spawn fish more often.
