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

[Serabee]

Hey! I don't want to make a full thread for this, since it's a quick question- what's the fish that can only be caught on the top tier cliffs? I know it's out of season, but I had to TT back because I wanted to recreate a character on the right date, and I want to double check the dates and stuff. I never realized it existed before so I didn't catch it and would like to take the opportunity to!
(in other news, I TTed back to early April, and there are EGGS- I didn't realize you could TT for those )

I believe that clifftop fish include cherry salmon, char, golden trout and the string fish. You can find the 1st 3 after 4pm in april if you're northern hemisphere.

Woah, more than I thought I am in the Northern Hemisphere, and will be in April for a bit (want to recreate the character and play through to her birthday, which is late April) so this'll be a good chance, then! Thanks!

In other news, I'm also finding Bunny Day recipes... I had NO idea you could TT back for those and I'm DELIGHTED to find out you can! Guess my side character can STILL have those recipes after all

I'm happy for you being delighted about being able to TT back for Bunny Day. Most people never want to relive that horror ever again.

I mean... I personally enjoyed it, but I know a lot of people hated it. The hate did feel a bit extreme to me, though

But I think this is great news for those who started AFTER it happened but still want those DIYs and items! I thought they were truly limited to that initial time frame but I'm glad to know I was wrong.

Can you design your skin color after you first create your island? I was in a hurry to find the right map and now since I have it, it would be great to match my character’s color.

Are you talking about the skin color options you pick at character creation? What you see at character creation are all the possible options. You can change it in game once you get an item with a mirror like the rattan vanity or one of the many mirrors you can put on top of tables.

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?

I never gift my villagers clothings that don't match at least one of their perferences. If your villager is wearing something you really don't want to see the best choice is to flood their wardrobe storage with stuff you prefer them wearing, either new clothes or their default clothing. In my experience, you can gift them up 3 clothing before they start displaying in their house. When it's displayed in their house, they will never wear it but you can get the clothing into their rotation by giving them furniture to take up that spot. They'll prioritize displaying the newest stuff you have given them.

Does anyone know if it’s safe to return lost items without worrying about it taking up one of the 32 item spaces in the villager’s inventory.?

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

As fair as I know, the lost items don't count as storage.

I can't find a reliable link all the haunted artwork but there are some youtube videos you can look up.

First off, what's haunted artwork? That sounds interesting!


Second of all, just wanna confirm something- as long as I have a villager's Amiibo, I can invite them to my island, correct? If I, say, invited someone to move in, then let them move out, but I had their card... they would move back, right? If I invited them? I know there friendship/house would be reset but I want to be 100% I can still get them back before I agree to let Dobie go

Haunted art is the fake art from Redd that has special effects at night. The fake informative statue glows but the fake ancient statue floats with glowy eyes when you interact with it.

With the Amiibo, you should be able to invite back in as long as they are not in your move in queue. You get this message when you try to invite them to the campsite that they are busy moving and they won't come to your campsite. If they are in your move in queue, you have to let them naturally move in by not inviting an villager from a mystery island and have the plot fill in by itself.

Okay, that is AMAZING and I will be looking it up ASAP

And thanks! But, umm, what's a move-in queue? I've never heard that term before and now I'm confused Dobie literally just asked me to move, and I haven't answered yet, but I just wanna know if I did, and if I found another villager to "replace" him, could I invite him back (without an open spot, as a camper) and have him replace another villager?

You can read about the move in queue here https://www.belltreeforums.com/threads/movein-moveout-queues-no-void.555662/#post-9244105

Yes you can invite in back in with the amiibo. The amiibo just wouldn't work if you interacted with another player that let Dobie move out with him getting adopted and it gets placed in your move in queue.

OH! The void thing I've heard about. Got it.

That... thread sounds super complicated. It sounds like it'd be rare if I did manage to get him in my move-in queue, but it'd be super annoying if he did? But here's a question- do you know if it's possible to get a villager into the queue WHILE they're still in your town. As in, could he be in my queue right now, while living in my town? If not, and if I didn't connect with another person between moving him out and inviting him back, it seems it'd be completely impossible for him to get into the queue? Or am I missing something?

actually if u can find people adopt him and do some TT and amiibo scan to kick him out so u can come invite him back right in time u have open slots after he moved out. I did that to 5 starters villagers to reset their house but still keep their memories.

If he moves out and you didn't interact with another person, he would just sit in your move out queue waiting for someone with an empty slot in their move in queue to pick him up. As far as I know, villagers in your move out queue shouldn't affect your move in queue.

I know that, but if I'm gonna let him go, I'd actually WANT his memories reset because then he'd stop wearing some stupid clothes other villagers gave him

Okay, that's what I was thinking. Still, I told him "no" this time around... don't wanna risk losing him, he's RN, he's my favorite cranky!

do wardrobe trick to reset it lol gift / mail him 25 of his default clothes lol since they only store 24 clothes so he will wear his default after throw away the rest

But... that'd also reset all the stuff I've gifted him, wouldn't it? And it'd mess up his house? It'd be easier to just reset him totally IMO

[Serabee]

[John Wick]
