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

[Mick]

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?

If you time travel to tomorrow, you will start seeing all the event items. If you then time travel back a day, it will count as a new game day but everything you got while time travelling should still be there! The stores will probably not sell Halloween stuff after you travel back though, and I have no idea what happens if you then go to October 1st again, probably not much apart from Isabelle announcing the halloween stuff a second time.

It's a bit early to know for sure, with this update and the features being so new. If you want to play it safe, you can always travel forward a day, just play for a few days, and then travel back one day to put it back on the real time.

Thank you for the answer! I'll TT today then.

I know it’s early and the update was just release, does anyone know if the spooky fence is customizable? I’ve been dying for a green wrought iron fence.

i’m assuming it’s not since none of the other fences are able to be customized, either

so I got my first halloween DIY, the halloween arch, from Marshal crafting today. how do we obtain the other DIYs? is it purely from villagers or can they come from balloons too?

You can get them from balloons as well and nooks sells one of the crafted items every day in case you miss a DIY or don't want to spend pumpkins on crafting it

Sorry if this was already asked, but...so pumpkins...they can be planted the same way as bushes or they need to be one apart?

So I'm curious; if you have your 10th villager in boxes, can you go to another island and invite somebody to move in?? Or do you have to wait till you have a completely empty plot?

Same as bushes- they can be planted beside each other!

I'm 99% sure you need to have an open plot, but I admittedly don't think I've ever tried to invite someone with a villager in boxes.

Unlike seemingly most of the people here, NH is my first experience with animal crossing. What happens to the flowers in the winter?

Nothing happens to the flowers in winter. They don't die or anything, they will always be there and will always be in bloom.

LOL, ok, seems unrealistic. Guess I was expecting Stardew Valley style where everything dies the first day of winter. But I’m glad I won’t have to start over with my hybrids. I’ll probably reduce my flowers so I just have enough to restart in the spring.

This whole game tests the limits of what is realistic. After all, there are talking bipedal animals and we can fit sharks in our pockets.

another q regarding the halloween DIYs, can we only obtain one spooky DIY from a villager a day? bc yesterday after obtaining my first spooky DIY from Marshal, when I talked to other villagers crafting they gave me the standard, non-seasonal DIYs.

That is my running theory, based on what I have observed on my island and my partner's (both of us do not time-travel). This makes sense to take into account players who may not have the Nintendo Online membership and ensure that everyone is able to obtain all the spooky DIY recipes within the month of October.

A bunch of my titles seem to be gone? I was flipping through them and the list seemed noticeably shorter, so I looked for a few that I know for a fact I had (Royal, Prince/Princess, Soulmate, Legendary, Engineer) and they’re not there?? I’m especially choked about soulmate and engineer :,( Anyone know why this would be?

Okay at least I’m not just imagining it

Definitely not imagining it! My current in-game title is 'Supernatural Wild Child' but when I go to change it, supernatural doesn't even show up in the list anymore. That's an odd thing to be broken, I hope they fix it soon...

I noticed since the update, when I tt forward a day and then return back to the actual time and date, that my nook miles are reset to day one. Before, when going back, I think it would be on the same day as the last time I logged into the abd. Anyone else notice this?
