So New Horizons is the first Animal Crossing game that I have played, so I am still new to all the small details of the game. This may be a dumb question, but does having furniture on your pier affect your fishing?

I don't think so but it might make it harder for you to fish in general. I think taking the furniture down when a fish is nearby might scare it away. I have a hard time with naturally spawning pier fish so I always use bait.

Thank you so much! I usually either fish around my furniture and/or use bait, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t affecting the game

It seems like in New Horizons, they slowly introduced the player to the personalities slowly, one by one. (Jock&Sisterly, then Lazy/Normal/Peppy, then Smug, etc.) Just wondering, was this the case in New Leaf or any previous games?
Do meteor showers and shooting stars stop balloons from spawning?
I was farming balloons all evening yesterday and they stopped spawning at 7:00pm, which is when my shooting stars started. I kept looking for balloons for another hour and a half up till a little past 8:30pm, and I didn't see a single one.

It wasn't really a thing in previous games, mostly because you had more starter villagers. For example, in NL, you start with 5 villagers, but they can't be of the Smug/Sisterly type. I think that most (if not all) of the other games make sure that you don't have any repeat personalities for your starter villagers, with NH having the fewest starter villagers, so games with a larger amount of starter villagers either had all (GC, CF) or most (NL) of the personalities already in that group. The main exception is WW, which only gives you 3 starter villagers. And most (if not all) of the games have a hidden mechanic where new villagers who randomly move in tend to be of a personality you don't have, so if they aren't already present, you'll naturally be introduced to all the personality types if you just let it happen.
Shooting stars shouldn't stop them from spawning. I had a heavy meteor shower last night and I finished my balloon farming during that time.
Did you have any visitors over to wish on the shooting stars? Visitors do block balloons from spawning.
Nope, no visitors. Gate was closed, and I even saved and reloaded a few times as I normally do while farming balloons. Guess I hit a string of bad luck.

balloons do reverse the direction they travel in in the evening, so it could be that you needed to look on the opposite side of your island, if you were not already.

Does anyone know how to prepare for Toy Day? Do I need to know what my villagers want beforehand?

30 I believe, and it will delete the oldest one if you go over
Is the drop rate lower for holiday/festive/illuminated recipes for southern hemisphere islands? My northern hemisphere character has been getting a steady stream of recipes today while my southern hemisphere player is receiving duplicates of summer shell recipes. TIA.

I think it's just luck. I'm in the northern hemisphere and I want to get at least two recipes per day, I usually need to pop dozens and dozens of balloons.

I want my map to look even. For the characters, I noticed 2 playable characters make it look even, and 5 characters make it look even. Are there any other number of character that look even?
I can't say for sure, but I imagine eight is the next and only other even one - after you add the third player, the columns show five residents each, so I imagine once you hit six, it goes back up to six residents per column, so in the end you have three columns with six residents each. Otherwise, you could check dream addresses to see if you can find ones with six or more player characters to confirm it.
EDIT: I found a post in the maps thread that confirms my theory - once you hit six players/16 residents overall, the columns show six residents each, meaning eight would be the next and only other even number.
huuuuuge WIP, but after destroying every cliff and bit of water on my island all the way back in April, I have finally started working on my island again this month. pretty proud of the progress I've managed to make in less than a month and I'm really excited to finally start building an island I can actually enjoy walking around in rather than just the barren wasteland I got so used to lol.

I'm thinking of jumping back into my island that I've only played for a few days since release day. Will I have missed out on mail? My mailbox is probably very full, did that make me miss out on getting some mail?

now please I will accept the money-payment
When does the aurora appear (what time range)? Does it always appear when villagers mention that it might? How long does it last? It's getting close to 10 p.m. and I'm still waiting on one to show up...
edit: I'll answer myself now that I've seen it. Ik online it says it can show up as early as 7, but mine didn't appear until 10. It did stay for pretty long, though it changed directions at one point when I entered and exited my house. So duration is at least half an hour to an hour, I'm guessing? Now I just wonder what the latest time it can show up at is?

Always ignored
the mailbox can hold 300 letters. I hardly ever delete mine and it has around 200 letters in it so it might not be full for you. The only way you’ll know for sure is to open your game and check
If it did reach 300, then the oldest letters would be deleted first, but letters with presents are supposed to be protected. I’m not sure if that’s true though.
