Can a player house be placed against the edge of a cliff? Just want to make sure the layout I have in mind for my second character will work

yep! my house is against the cliff

I've read that if you leave small musical instruments (like the tambourine) lying around your villagers can pick them up and play them. Is it true? Do you have to place them on the ground or will they pick them up from tables? I need to see this.

They don't pick up the instruments. They basically just do the same thing as where you hit the A button next to an instrument and you can play random notes.

I'm not sure if the "tool instruments" like the Tambourine/Ocarina/etc. will work, but any musical instrument that's also a furniture item will. For smaller items, it doesn't matter where you place them; as long as you have access to it and can hit the A button to interact with it, your villagers should be able to do the same.

This is where I saw that information: https://www.belltreeforums.com/thre...-horizons-edition.509886/page-15#post-9007334

I knew they didn't pick up furniture instruments but I thought they did the tool ones Now I'm disappointed. Thanks, though!

I’m thinking of starting an island journal and I was wondering how to find out what my native flower is? I have long forgotten what it was. Also, just wondering if anyone has general suggestions on how to make it look nice or interesting, or what people like to see with island journals? I don’t have a lot of screenshots of my island when I first started playing the game. I know it’s my journal and I can do what I want, but I honestly have no clue how to start one off or what I’ll be doing aside from sharing screenshots.

If you have screenshots of your cliffs early in the game, you can probably see what your native flowers are.

Otherwise I think you can either check your nook’s cranny daily and look for the flower seeds that don’t change the most? Or go to a nook mile island a couple times and see which flowers you get most frequently. Each island has a “sister” flower as well so you might see 2 types of flowers but one should be present more frequently and that should be your native one

Just to clarify, every player’s island has a native and sister flower breed not that every nook mile island has one! Nook mile island should have 1 type of flower or no flowers

Thank you so much for the response; That makes sense.

If you gift a seashell to a villager, will they display it in their house?

Do cicada shells spawn on palm trees, or am I semi-wasting my time?

I'm pretty sure they don't. I've never seen any cicada on a palm tree, so I assume it's the same for cicada shells.

Do villagers ask to leave on another villager’s birthday, or does it count as an event?

Have people stopped using Turnip.Exchange?

Have they added a way to store DIY cards that you already have?

It's easier to use this forum's newly implemented Dodo Code sharing function, I imagine

DIYs still can't be stored in house inventory

Dodo code sharing function? A lot has changed since the last time I've played. xD

Oh, orz and I'm guessing I can't sell DIY's to the shop? I've a bunch and most of them aren't really popular I don't think.

Good news: Nook boys will buy DIYs for 200 bells a pop!

Well that answers one of my other questions on how to get bells outside of turnip stuff. xD

What is the dodo code sharing function thingy?

When members make threads in the Airport subforum, they can share out their Dodo Codes to selected members with the same functionality as Turnip.Exchange

Ah! Thank you so much!

I have a camper and a free plot. Can I invite someone from an island and still get the camper to move in?

I think, though I am not sure, that if you invited someone so that the plot was sold before you try inviting the camper, then theoretically the camper could still ask to replace someone? I’ve never done it though, and I don’t remember reading about this specific situation, so I really don’t know for sure.
