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

[Airysuit]

If you send mail to someone witb a wrapped item (wrapping paper from nooks), are they able to drop the gift on the ground when they get it, without unwrapping it? Since you can't do that with box wrapped items.

I wanna send my friends some wrapped Christmas presents to put under their tree, but if they can't drop it i can't mail it

Anyone?

Does time traveling back a few days change your weather seed?

Does time traveling back a few days change your weather seed?

No. When you first create your island, a weather seed unique to your island is created, and the weather you will have on each day for every year until 2099 will have been decided then.
The only time where some of the weather states for certain days can change is if Nintendo tinkers with it, like if they patch in a new event they might set that day to have specific Event-type weather, overriding anything your seed had decided previously. Or they introduce new weather types and shuffle those in (like they added these new cloud types over the past months, though I don't know if they occupy a unique weather state)

But anyway the answer to your question is No lol.

(like they added these new cloud types over the past months, though I don't know if they occupy a unique weather state)

They do not. My weather seed will tell me when I get a new cloud type same as it would a double rainbow or aurora borealis, but the seed itself still shows as "cloudy" or "sunny" or what it would have been, and it's still 100% accurate.

Does anyone know how much space is needed for snowballs to spawn? I'm TTing and it's December 11th, snow is covering Woodland, but I've looked everywhere and can't find any snowballs I'm worried my island is too developed and I need to take down some stuff...

EDIT: Removed my Japanese bath area (which I'd been meaning to do, it was just a placeholder) and two spawned right beside each other! So IDK how much space they need exactly, but this'll actually be convenient for keeping the balls close together
Now wish me lucky catching a dung beetle it's the last one I need and this'll be the very first time I've ever completed an encyclopedia despite playing every game but PC...

Wait, I've seen multiple posts on this subject and I need some clarification.

So if you have 10 islanders on your island already and someone is visiting the campsite, you can still invite the campsite visitor but the game chooses which islander moves?

Correct, if it's not a campsite visitor that you invited with an amiibo, they will choose who to kick out randomly. You can change this by shutting of the game before the dialogue ends.

 

[HappyTails]

Oh, that's pretty cool. But I can see how it can be a problem if the game chooses an islander that you are particular fond of (because the game likes to do that). But it's good that we can turn the game off before it happens. I was always worried about having 10 villagers right from the start because I always wanted to keep a spot open for Tutu, but now that I know that I can still get her even if I have 10 islanders is great to know. Thanks for answering so quickly. Guess it's time to sell these last two plots of land.

Does anyone know if it's possible to trade bugs between different players? As in, could I buy a bug off someone here? I know you can exchange them between characters on a single island, but I just realized I forgot to donate a Horned Hercules and I need it to complete my bug exhibit. Would it be possible to buy one off someone here?

You can't trade creatures because in order to pick them up it would need to be placed as a furniture item, and you can neither pick up another players furniture on their island, nor can they place any fish tanks or bug cages on yours.

I know we can’t know for sure right now, but do we think Christmas toys will mess up their houses? I think it did in past games.

Has anyone seen the Welcome Amiibos being sold anywhere? I forgot to check yesterday; yesterday was when they were supposed to be released. Not sure where to post this. I checked all the websites including nintendo, and only the other series were shown.

I believe they only announced they'd be releasing the series 1-4 cards, not the WA cards or the Sanrio cards.

This website shows 12/2 under the welcome amiibo and I thought someone mentioned it in the first thread that was created on the amiibo cards being re-released.

I knew about Sanrio not being re-released here.

Edit: Would very much appreciate if someone could confirm that this is 12/2 this year and this is accurate.

I did some googling, and I saw the December 2 date being mentioned in this article from 2017 about what I think is the initial release of welcome amiibo. I wasn’t around for new leaf and all this stuff, so I may be wrong about it.

Maybe the 12/2 is stuck there from 2017? Sorry I can‘t be more help.
