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

[Halloqueen]

unfortunately, no. without their amiibo, you can’t invite npcs to harvey’s island. ;w;

Actually, what I was wondering was, if I acquired such amiibo, would they be able to be used on Harvey's Island.

as for villager gifts, here you go

Is it possible to Time Travel to past events? I haven't touched this game in months and was a bit sad when I found out they had wedding themed furniture only available in June. If I download the update and travel to June, will I still be able to take part in the event?

Yes, you can time travel back to June and earn the wedding items. It lasts throughout the entire month of June, so you can get as many of the items as you can afford. Limit of 8 per day if I remember correctly.

Also, thanks xara.

That's wonderful. That means I can theoretically go back to the very day I stopped playing and just continue on day by day experiencing all the ones I missed until I catch up to the current date and time, yes?

Yes. If you're sure of the day you stopped playing and time travel back to it, the game will believe it to be the exact same day. Same stuff in the stores, same things sold out if you bought them, same flowers watered, etc. As someone who often takes breaks from Animal Crossing games for indeterminate amounts of time, I tend to keep a log of the last day and time played so I can always travel back and not have to deal with weeds or, in older games, villagers moving out without asking. Just be sure to turn off the Synchronize option for the Switch's clock. System Settings -> System -> Date and Time -> Synchronize Clock via Internet (Off). Then just choose the desired date and time and you're set.

While I don't know the exact date that I stopped playing, I do remember it was around May. I don't mind dealing with the weeds since I'll shamelessly admit that in the old games I used to (and still quite do) TT a lot. I was just worried that the events wouldn't be "unlocked" for me because my system clock wasn't synced to the internet when the event officially started. But if these events via free updates unlock as long as they're past the date they were released, then I'll be all set~

Here's some dumb questions.

Can balloon presents still bonk villagers on the head if they're below one? I've been trying.
I've done it in acnl and it was hilarious.

Can you hit a balloon present with your bug net while on a cliff?
honestly I might be bad at perceiving depth perception or these don't exist anymore.

I can only confidently answer question 2 but yes, you can hit it with a net if you're standing on a cliff while the balloon is still floating above the lower level.

People have mentioned putting things into the recycling bin in Resident Services. How do you do that?

Here's a guide on how to use the Recycling Bin as a makeshift storage.

 

[GnarlyGarden]

Thanks! I’ll take a look at that.

Have you succeeded yet? Because that sounds amazing and now I also want to know. I guess I know what I will be trying tomorrow!

 

[Pyoopi]

@Mick
Not yet. I've tried trapping them in tight corners to do it but no cigar, lol.

 

[Mick]

@Pyoopi I managed to do it today, my island somehow funnels a lot of balloons onto the same line in front of resident services so it wasn't too hard to set up. I brought a video, I'll put it in a spoiler because I'd hate to ruin your chance at finding out for yourself!

Spoiler

Turns out it does not bother them at all... I had a few direct hits all with similar results.

That's what happens when you elect me as representative I suppose. Don't worry, I set them free not long after this.

 

[Pyoopi]

@Mick
Omg I'm dead that you trapped a bunch of them.

That's too bad they don't get bonked anymore.

I had to take use some questionable methods im the name of science. I am now very good at villager herding.

I wasn't expecting much, but it's still a bit of a shame. I was hoping for a reaction, like the look they pull with the falling star whichever one that is, but nope. I did see a crazy amount of interacting villager dialogue though, so all the pushing was worth it!

gonna keep this in mind cause I haven't seen my smugs or uchis talking to each other and I've been wondering what same-personality conversations would be like

There are two jocks in that pit and they did talk at one point, so I can confirm that those conversations exist! Before it happened today, I hadn't even considered that there would be conversations that are only possible with duplicate personalities.

But yes, shove them together and they will talk soon enough! ^^

 

[LCookie]

I've have never TT before. Could I go just one day to the future and then come back to the current date? Would anything I have done in the future impact me when it's actually October?
