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

Does anyone know when the folk shirt item comes out?? I have been checking the Able Sisters every day in winter but no luck. Its the perfect item for my character and I cant get it for some reason

It's unfortunately completely up to RNG. I've checked the stores every single day this winter, and I still have 14 winter-only items that haven't showed up even once.

Feel free to PM me if you need help with the Folk Shirts! I have all 3 in my catalog, and I'd be happy to order them for you if you don't feel like dealing with the Random Number Gods anymore.
 
Hi there! Aren't we supposed to get 5 new fossils every day? I always found 5 new fossils in my two previous island but with the new one I only get 4 every day. I was thinking maybe one is hidden somewhere but I scanned the entire island and found nothing...

Nope, only four, or up to six if you didn't find all the fossils the previous day.
 
If I placed paths around all my flowers except for my blue roses, what's the chance of them reproducing tomorrow? It's snowing today.

Flowers can't spawn on any path other than dirt or sand. The chance of a flower reproducing is independent of any other flower unless there is limited open space and one flower's offspring blocks the last space that another flower can produce offspring. If you want to maximize your blue rose offspring, then make sure none of your blue roses are touching each other and keep them away from your other flowers. It doesn't matter what you do with your other flowers, but you can surround them with hard pathing to stop them from reproducing if you don't want any more. Your other flowers will not affect your blue roses' probability of producing offspring either way. It's about a 5% chance of cloning with each day of watering/rain/snow, but that probability gradually increases if a flower goes at least 3 days being watered but not producing any offspring.

Hi,
New to horizons, one question when you go to the island, can you choose and reset if you dont like the look of it? Kinda like New leaf where you get to choose what map it is, but change if it you dont like it?

You're presented with four different maps at the start, but if you don't like any of the layouts you can exit out of the game and try again. Things like airport color and fruit (and flower) type can only be observed after you've picked a map though, and if you're not satisfied with those, you can also exit the game and try again.
Does that answer the question? I wasn't sure exactly what you were asking but I'm sure I can help if you meant something else
 
I'm confused about how I would go about transferring everything from one Switch to another, including Animal Crossing.
Like, do I do a system transfer first and then use the Animal Crossing transfer tool after, or the other way around? If I do a system transfer first will it leave the original console wiped, meaning I can't access the AC transfer tool and lose my save data?

If anyone has done it can you please tell me step by step how to transfer everything including ACNH save data to a brand new Switch?

Thank you so much for this~! I hadn't realised flower type would be different too? Sorry if I made it sound confusing, was merely trying to see if there was a way to change look like we could in New Leaf; I was unsure as I know you can change the way your Island, thogh I've only seen a bit so I had no idea. Thank you~!

I haven't done it with ACNH, but there's an option to also add your profile to the new Switch while leaving your existing profile on the old Switch, then transfer your saves for each game individually. Just create a profile on your new Switch, link it to your existing Nintendo Account (must be the same as the one you want to transfer your save data from), then use the ACNH transfer tool. Once you're done with that, you can transfer the rest of your saves according to this guide.

You will have a native flower, but it doesn't affect much, just which flowers your island has in the beginning and which ones you'll find on mystery islands (one native flower + one sister flower). I wouldn't worry about it when resetting, especially since the choices are limited to the flowers connected to your birth month and the ones connected to the month you start your game in, meaning the flower you want might not even be available to you. Regardless of what flower you begin with, you can buy and breed all the other flowers, and even get rid of your native flower on your island entirely, so it only affects early gameplay.

Thank you for letting me know, that is quite interesting~! Hopefully I don't have to reset too much for the main things.
