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

This might be a stupid question, but...is the mermaid series DIYs only available during the summer months? I've been getting my scallops, and the only thing Pascal has given me in the last couple of months have been pearls, and I still need to finish my Mermaid series...

I don’t think the mermaid series is summer only (I think people in the Southern Hemisphere were also able to get recipes). I have heard if you have catalogued any of the mermaid furniture, then you won’t get the recipe for it from pascal. If you’d have not ever owned the furniture for the recipes you are missing, then I suppose it just could be really bad luck, but a couple of months seems really long for bad luck. How many recipes are you missing?

You are probably getting bad luck. It took me a while to get them all. If you have extra characters on your island, they can also fish for scallops and maybe they can get the recipes you are missing from him.

They fixed the bug issue where if you catalog the crafted mermaid items you don't get the DIY. This was fixed in the last major update if I recall correctly.

that’s great to know, thanks! I remember seeing that that glitch existed, but missed the part where they fixed it. Even while I was typing I was thinking it was weird they had not yet fixed it, so glad to see I was wrong! You always have the best info!

Good to know. I'm missing about 6 items from the Mermaid series.

Is there a thread for dream address sharing?

Is there a thread for dream address sharing?

Yup, it's over at The Airport boards.

The Dream Address Thread

The Dream Address Thread The Dream Suite was released in an update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons on July 30th 2020. This feature allows you to visit other players islands, or for other players to visit your island, without having to play with them directly. The island you or others will see...

If your household has two Switches but only one family Nintendo Online account, can you still have a dream address for each Switch?
Thanks!

Thanks!

Yes, you can: one for each island! I’ve since converted to a solo NSO account (my family doesn’t really play online) but I’ve had the two DAs in my signature since late July.

Are meteor showers programmed to land on a specific date?

I'm currently TT and noticed something. Last week on Dec. 20 and 21 Isabelle notified me that there would be a meteor shower on both those nights. This week , I TT'ed backwards to Dec. 16 and worked my way up to Dec. 20 again, when Isabelle notified me that there would be a meteor shower.

Yes, every island has a weather seed that's set in stone once you create your island. You will have stars on that exact date and they will fall at the exactly the same time down to the second. You can use this website to figure out what your weather seed is so you know when to check your game if Celeste is going to show up that night.

Is there a list of fish/diving animals that have unique cages or are cage-less? I know the snapping turtle and the horseshoe crab don't have cages, but not sure if others do.

Villagerdb has pictures of what the creatures look like when placed down.

Is there confirmed information about maple leaf spawn rates when you're alone on your island compared to when you have visitors over?

I accidentally put down a path in the bridge corner. Is there seriously no way to remove it???

You should be able to remove it by placing down the grass pattern while in island designer mode. If you can't get it from that angle, remove the one stone fencing and try from that side.

I've tried searching for information but all I could find were from people on reddit claiming that the hot item gets randomly drawn from all learned DIY recipes across ALL residents (so including secondary/tertiary/etc. player characters), BUT that it can never be a seasonal item, like those seasonal wreaths that villagers take down when the season has passed, and I guess the spooky set counts as that too since it gets displayed in the Nook's seasonal item spot during October. I know random users on reddit are not the most reliable source but it's all I found, I've not checked the hot items myself ever, sorry :-(

Does anyone remember what dates the Handmade Cape and Crown were available to order in the game? I've given all mine away at this point and wanna TT back to order some more

I believe it was for international children’s day, which was June 1st. If I’m not mistaken I think you had all the way until June 30th to purchase the two items!
