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

[Dunquixote]

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.

Ah thank you so much! That is helpful. Dang. I feel embarrassed now for being all nervous about missing them, not to mention that I linked this to everyone in the first amiibo re-release thread. >< Sorry everyone ><

Sorry @Burumun if my post came out a bit short and thanks for your reply earlier. I got no sleep last night and really am crabby today. ><.

You won't be able to trade, unless you know other people IRL with the game who you can meet up with, meaning you won't be able to collect two or three of the fruits, and you'll be limited in your choices of furniture - your Nook's Cranny will only sell one color variant of items, although you can get the others through villagers, trees and balloon presents, and you won't be able to get Nook Mile items in different colors. You also won't be able to use custom designs from other players (including QR code designs) or the Dream Suite.

Weather is unaffected by online play, and it will snow in December in your town.

Also, if you don't connect your Switch to the internet at all, you won't get updates, meaning you're stuck with v1.0, which doesn't include any of the holidays as well as Leif and bushes, Redd and art, diving, and some other small additions. They only release an update about every month or two (the last one came out the week of Thanksgiving, and the next one is scheduled for the end of January), so if you can connect even just every once in a while to update the game, you shouldn't really have a problem.

Hi thank you for that, can I just ask custom designs can you do your own offline without using the QR code, I didn't mean literally no internet its just I have a box I run movies and tv shows ect on so it uses lots of internet so using internet all the time slows the boxes down so its best offline and also not with this going on atm with coronavirus we cant but we travel a lot to Florida so we wont be home much so offline is the best solution. You said about updates do you get updates without online subscriptions for Christmas and Halloween and stuff or is that just seasonal events with online subscriptions
thank you very much

All the updates are free. You just need an internet connection.

Yes, you can make your own custom designs offline, and as has been mentioned already, the updates are free.

Thank you very much I really appreciate the help I know it might sound like silly questions but when I've tried googling it nothing comes up

you can get a 7 day free trial for online and you’ll be able to keep all the stuff you get during the trial. You just have to make sure to turn off automatic renewal before the trial period ends so it doesn’t charge you.

2 part question - can we get snowballs when it is snowing but not sticking? Looking for dung beetles.

- how much open space do we need to make a snowman?

You need tow air until the 11th for snowballs and dung beetles. You need a decent amount of space but idk how much. Snowballs can spawn in flowers

Thanks. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see how this works. I’m wondering how you would get a snowball out of a flower.

You can push them normally, I'm pretty sure. It can just be hard to see them in flower patches, especially patches of white flowers.

Asking this for someone else because I am genuinely curious too. This is gonna be a copy and paste

"Can someone please answer me a question? In ACNH when you do the first fishing tourney & get all the trophies - when you play the second tourney is it possible to get all 3 trophies again?"

Going by this Reddit thread, no, you can only get the three trophies once, since the points for the trophies are cumulative over all fishing tourneys.

How many non-native fruit should I be putting in the wrapped fruit stacks that I'm giving to villagers (in order to earn their photos). I've been doing six to make the stack about equal in value to a wrapped iron wall lamp. Should I be giving 9 or 10 wrapped fruit? Would that earn photos a lot more quickly? TIA!

Six is waaay overboard. I wrap 2 non-native fruits at a time and that has gotten me over 10 photos so far. The friendship points you get is capped at a certain amount (I believe a present worth 750 bells gives you the max points; two non-native fruits would sell for 1000), so any more than that is just wasting resources.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!

Can the game autosave during the player's birthday party? Want to skip the party and because you can't walk out the door, it seems the only way out is an autosave.
