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

Do seasonal nook shopping items (grape harvest, handmade crown/cape) return to the special order section of the app when that time of year comes around in 2021 or are they only orderable in 2020? Has anyone tried time travelling to 2021 and seeing if the old seasonal nook shopping items come up in the app again?

is there any way to get the old update gifts? are they available in game? can i pick them up from someone else and have them reorderable in my catalog (that's how items were in NL, not sure about NH)? will i have to buy them off a real person?

Like the ring con and ACNH switch?

They can be ordered!

In past games, if you took the magic bag and didn’t do the event, you could keep it permanently. Is that true in ACNH?

Do the Christmas lights disappear forever?
do they hide in your inventory only to be used in the season?

are they like the valentines flower that comes back to your inventory every year?

Are you talking about the collectible? I don't think questions like that belong in an ACNH-specific thread, but regardless, this is what it says in this post announcing the start of the winter event:

* Please note that the animated Christmas Lights collectible is only temporary and will disappear from inventories in early January 2021.

I think they have to be rebought or regifted anew every year around the holidays. So they'll probably come back, they're just not permanently in your possession.

Ah yes sorry about that. I always go here for questions and forgot it was new horizon specific
Thank you for answering!

Does using the pitfall seed on your villagers decrease friendship points?

According to multiple sources apparently it doesn't. Only hitting them with a net or pushing them to the point that they will initiate a conversation with you and get angry (though you can manipulate that too by apologizing to them after), as well as gifting them garbage will decrease your friendship

It's been years since I've last been on this website but I wanted to ask something! I have someone who I see interact with my character on pocket camp all the time and I'll respond by doing the same things. Today I got a friend request from them on switch and accepted it because I'm figuring that they had got a switch and New horizons for Christmas.

Now my dilemma is actually meeting them in the game with no means of previous communication, how exactly do I play with them on NH? Will they automatically be added into my in game phone or would they have to visit me first in order to have their contact in the NH phone?

You would have to visit their island first via a Dodo code--or they visit yours--for them to be added as in-game friends on the Nook Phone.

Do villagers have clothes other than their original piece in their wardrobe? My (new) villager changed her clothes and I have no idea how she got it. I haven't gifted/delivered her anything.

they have a winter outfit with a coat and hat they wear when it’s snowing. They will also wear different accessories if they have certain hobbies.

It's not their winter coat/hat though She was wearing it indoors.

That’s weird. Do you remember what she was wearing?

An athletic jacket. She just moved in yesterday so I was confused, but it's okay. At least it's not a horrid outfit.

Edit: Oh wait, I just remembered, she might've been working out prior to me talking to her. That might be why.

I'm about to reset. I'm interested in eventually getting literally every item in the game - is this still possible? I understand it'll take a lot of buying off others, but is it possible?

I believe it should be. The boni for updates were always reorderable items that could also be purchased from Nook Shopping, and the holiday events can still be done if you TT back.

What about without TTing - are the holidays not the same every year? Can I buy old holiday items off others?
