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

If I time travel back into the past, will it count twice towards my active island resident nook mile achievement?

This is a long one boys. Sorry for some of these being so late

If you "swap spots" for custom designs in the Custom Design app, does it mess anything up? Like I know if you upload a new design in the same slot as the old design, it will change all those paths. So if I just Swap around spots, will it change my paths? I just want to organize the app because it's a nightmare right now ha.

Just tried it, swapping spots won't affect placed patterns.

Campsite/game mechanics question - when trying to get a villager from a campsite to move into your island, are there any villagers that will have a higher chance to be picked?

Mostly asking because so far, every campsite villager has chosen my 5 oldest villagers multiple times before they'll pick anyone else.

I've looked at several guides including ones using datamined info, and all of them state it is completely random. The only caveats are that they will not target villagers currently in boxes or villagers who are slated to relocate their homes.

Ok I have secret questions.

1. Is there a way to force villagers to wear what you want?

Sometimes I gift them things and they don’t wear them.




2. When I talk, my speak bubble is blue. How do I change the color?



3. Do pumpkins grow in the sand?

1. No, it is up to chance. There are ways to increase the likelihood of it happening, but people have stated they've given villagers clothing in their favorite color and style and they still ended up being placed in their homes and/or not worn at all.

2. I don't know what you're talking about here, sorry. What speech bubble do you mean?

3. I've read of people who said they could plant them in unlike bushes, but I think they won't grow? I've never seen a beach pumpkin patch before lol.

If I time travel back into the past, will it count twice towards my active island resident nook mile achievement?

Just tried it, it counts. If Isabelle gives you an announcement at the start, then it counts as a new day basically.

1. Its random sometimes they keep the outfit you gave them and other times they just put it in their home as a display

2. There is no way to change the color. Its always been like that.

3. No Pumpkins cannot grow in the Sand. Only in the Grass.

I don’t know why I posted secret questions. I meant to post I have a “few questions”.

Thank you for the reply! That’s what I was thinking for the pumpkins. A beach pumpkin patch
I’m going to have to grow them out and then plant them then.

For the speak bubble. I meant when we type something in game, my word bubble is outlined blue. Its the one for the playable character when you text on online play.

Does TTing negatively effect friendship levels of villagers?

I couldnt remember but i assume it does.

Thank you so much for testing and confirming! Now my QRs won't be such a doomed mess!

It doesn't. Only gifting them trash, hitting them with a net and pushing them until they get upset will reduce your friendship points. Though even when you do make them upset, you sometimes get the change to apologize to them, in which case you'll actually gain points lol.

Can the cornucopia be placed on a table? Or stall. On a surface? Or only On floor?


Also can it be customized? Like the cloth color?

just tested this out for you and it can be placed on a table and stall but it can’t be customized.

Something I've always been curious about - when you update your dream, and it takes a 'snapshot' of your island, does that include things like what your villagers were wearing at that exact moment, and who was indoors/outdoors at the time? Or is that stuff randomised, like when you restart your game? Before I update mine I always run around making sure nobody is wearing anything silly, but it occurs to me that the game might just disregard that sort of stuff!

I just started a new island and changed the time to march (I just couldn't look at the snow anymore) so I'm unfortunately missing out on the Festival stuff.
I was wondering, can you reorder the festival items or are they unorderable? And how do I get the cute new emotions like dancing and so on? It bugs me that I'm missing out but I don't want to timetravel again..

They're unorderable, and the new reactions are available from Nook's Cranny in February until Festivale.

Thanks for the Info! What a bummer tho

Weren’t we able to sit on rocks? I tried sitting and it won’t let me. I feel like we were though.

You could sit on them in New Leaf but the feature got removed

 

[Bluebellie]

Thank you! I thought for some reason that we could in new horizon.



I also have another question.
Does anyone know if there is a guide that lets you filter items by square units?

For example I know nook plaza you can filter by color.....but just wondering if there’s a guide that says the unit numbers. Like right now I’m looking for items that that are 2x2 , or If I want to look at the 2x1, etc?

NookPlaza lets you, just click the gear next to the search bar, there's an option to search by size.

Great thank you! I’m glad there is an option. I found the gear, and I click size, but I’m not finding where I can change the unit numbers. Once I click size, I’m at a loss of what to do.


Edit: got it!
For anyone else who is wondering, on the search box you would put 1x1, 2x1, etc.

If I see Celeste on the 18th, will she give me the aquarius DIY or the pisces DIY?
