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

[Bekaa]

Here’s my question,
A new villager just moved to my island (random). ( It is Flo.) When I went to say hi, I noticed she said something like that she was from “Freylin”, something like that. anyway I think I recognize the name of the island from one of my island hopping trades. Can anyone explain this to me? Do villagers come from other Players‘ islands that you’ve visited or dreamed of? If so, I think that’s totally awesome!

Yes, They do! People refer to it as ‘the void’. When people who visit you or who you visit have villagers who have recently moved our, they will be added to your move in queue and move in if you have an empty plot. I agree that it is a cool mechanic, though a lot of people end up finding it annoying at times when they get an undesirable villager that way. I haven’t gotten a villager from the void, but I my friend got my vesta who moved away and I love that I can still visit her now, and she remembers me!

Thank you for responding. I think this is amazing and wonderful. Of course, I can see where it would be a pain if you got a villager you didn’t like. But, to me, that’s like real life, right? We‘ ll see how I like Flo. She’s sisterly, so probably not much to dislike.

Yeah, I agree, I love sisterly villagers too. Flo seems really cool, I hope you have fun with her!

Is there a way to get out of sharing a dream once the option is placed? I clicked the option for Luna by accident and I couldn’t get out. I was just wondering for the future had to turn off my game because I couldn’t figure it out.

After you upload a dream, when you talk to Luna you click the option “about the dream I shared” and from there you can choose to update it, delete it, or set your dream address to private to hide it from your passport and map.

I have a southern hemisphere island. I time traveled a couple weeks forward to get to cherry blossom season and have been able to catch some petals but I haven't had any cherry blossom recipes drop from balloons I have shot down. Is this normal? Will they have a better drop rate once the October update becomes available?

They cherry blossom recipe drop rate seems to be low compared to the other balloon recipes. I am on the northern hemisphere, so Bunny Day may have affected the drop rates for me, but I don't think there's anything wrong with your game even though you don't have to deal with Bunny Day. There could possibly be a patch to improve the drop rates in the next update, but I think it's highly unlikely since Nintendo would have probably done so for northern hemisphere players back in April if they were going to increase the drop rate.

I hope this is the right forum, I'm really nervous about this. So I time traveled to the past and one of my villagers Cheri decided to move out. I let her move out, made sure the plot was open, and decided to do some mystery island hunting.

I came across Judy and invited her to my island. I returned to my island and it said the plot was sold to her, so everything seemed fine so far. It was the 12th in game and without thinking I closed the game and synchronized my clock to the current day (17th). I loaded the game again and Isabelle didn't say anything about Judy moving in, just that there was someone staying at the campsite.

Of course I thought that was weird so I went to check the house. Judy wasn't on the map, but her house was there and it said she wasn't home. I really don't know what to do right now. My game version is 1.4.2 and I didn't make a backup save. Do I have a ghost house forever or can I kick her out via amiibo?

It says that she wasn't home or that she moved out? At this point she should have moved in and be unpacked and could be wandering the island.

It said that she wasn't home. I'll try to look around the island but I'm worried since her icon isn't on the map.

If her icon isn't on the map it might be bugged. Does Tom Nook give you the option to move her plot? If you open your gates, it'll move any of the villagers that are in the shops/museum outside or into their homes.

I found her walking around in the plaza and her icon is on the map. I also checked if I could move her plot and I can. Maybe I panicked and didn't see her icon, regardless, thank you for helping me out!

How can I get my weeds to grow taller?

How can I get my weeds to grow taller?

Here's a guide on weeds.

In a nutshell, you'll want to water your weeds. Going from stage 2 to stage 3 is a pretty low chance even with water, so it may take a few days. You also have to ensure that you have less than 150 weeds because existing weeds will not grow taller once you reach that limit.

Hi. I’ve had a couple of similar experiences. And, it seems to be more likely with time travel. I think an occasional glitch is a trade off with time travel.

Can anyone tell me exactly what I'm missing because I honestly dont know
I need two for the first.
One for the second.
Two for the third. (Painting in the back too)
And one big one for the last picture

The big one missing from the top picture is the Amazing Painting. It is huge. The third picture is missing the Graceful Painting. The bottom picture is missing the Calm Painting.

I can't remember what goes in that spot in the 2nd picture (next to the Warm Painting) but I think it might be the Glowing Painting.

My question: Suppose I only have 1 month or 3 months of the Nintendo Online Subscription. If I use an image code, QR code, or some image loader from the Able Sisters for clothes, and my subscription runs out and I don't renew it, do I still keep the images that I downloaded for the clothes?

I don’t understand exactly what you’re asking with qr codes, but the clothing patterns will stay in your nook phone. I used several 1 week free trials of Nintendo online and would download patterns from the kiosk during the trials and they stayed in my phone after the trial ended.

 

[Asteroid]

That's what I needed to know. Thanks.

I redecorated the main room in one of my houses and now use natural lighting instead of one of the two in game settings. It looks great from the inside, but the first time I saw the outside at night I realized the light in the windows is now off too, making it look very cold and uninviting.

Does anyone know: Is there any way to have the indoor main room lights off, but have the house still lit up from the outside? Is the main room the only one that determines exterior lighting? Do lamp furniture items have any impact?

I suspect I'm out of luck if I want the lights off inside and on outside, but figured I would see if anyone had any ideas just in case

I've started seeing a term called ungifting when it comes to animal crossing. Can anyone explain that, and why it's such a big deal?
