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

Has there been an announcement for the next update already? I don't recall seeing one in the Direct.

Did someone else suddenly get sent art gallery items by mail from villagers? I got David this week, quite surprising.

The last update video was for Sanrio. I haven't seen any other update news since then.

Villagers have a chance of sending art in the mail, both real and fake.

only the announcement of the Sanrio amiibo items/ villagers coming back. The update will happen March 18, and the cards rerelease on March 26.

No announcement of an anniversary update yet, but I am still holding out hope (though I did not play previous games so i don’t ‘miss’ anything, I just like updates.)

I have received art from lazy and smug villagers before. Not sure if any others. I have heard though am not sure that the smugs usually or always send you fake art.

personally I have received 2 or three fake art items and one real one
 
is it possible to not have a visitor to the island for the day? my island is only 5 days old, and today i ran around the island twice, checking the cliffs and beach too, and i don't have a visitor. i don't think i've ever had that happen?

There's certain conditions you need to meet to unlock more npcs. https://yuexr.github.io/acnh/npcschedule.html

i knew it wasn't possible to have CJ/Flick/Kicks/Label/KK/Redd but i should be able to have everyone else. i haven't seen mabel yet and i have nook's cranny, so i thought i would see her for sure today :| hmm, maybe i just don't have one scheduled for the day then, since i am still missing several. thanks!

Npcs schedules for the week are set on Mondays. I think when you unlock an npc in the middle of the week they won't be added to the schedule until next week. Good news is that you'll see Mabel on the weekends.

Ah, that makes sense then! Thanks :D
 
Has anyone been having issues with the Pisces Lamp recipe? Did they change the drop rate for Celeste's recipes?

On my second town, my character got the pisces lamp recipe and I chose to learn it...came over on my main character from main town and she only gave her a star fragment. Once again Celeste showed up on my second island, got the recipe again on that character but the previous recipe learned was gone from my diy book...so learned it again...came over on main from main town again, and again she only gave her fragments. My main def doesn't have it learned so I'm not sure why it's been so glitchy. :(

I'm having a hard time following this. Can you just follow the flowchart in the Celeste section and see if any of the paths match this situation with your main character

The chart doesn't answer it. Basically my main character on first town has all diys except the pisces lamp. I've visited twice now Celeste (separate occasions - both in the timeframe of the pisces lamp) and she hasn't been given the recipe only fragments. This character definitely doesn't have the recipe already learned and didn't learn any other zodiacs during the season to explain why.

On my second town the character has gotten the recipe twice but the first time it was learned it "unlearned"/disappeared from my recipes list.

The unlearned diy bug has been around for a while and no one really knows what causes it as far as I know.

Do you time travel at all?

Not currently, no - in the past I have but that's been some time ago. I managed to just use a side character to talk to her to get a spare and mail the recipe to the main character.The chart is how I remember it working - but I just wasn't sure if with recent updates if they changed a mechanism with her - I'll just chalk it up to bad glitch luck. Thank you!
 
One question, i designed a sweater design and hug it at Able sister store but now i dont know how to take it down, can someone help me ? I just would like my villagers to not wear it anymore since its xmasie and its out of season now. Thanks 🙏🏻
 
Sorry if this question is not precisely appropriate for this thread. As a serial lurker on the new neighbors board I have seen a few posts lately describing the villager as ‘natural’ or ‘naturally in boxes’ . this may be a dumb question, but what is the significance of natural for villagers? The posts also mentioned the villagers being ungifted, which I understand.

I'm gonna assume it means they weren't kicked via amiibo and asked to move via ping, which hardly matters since the amiibo glitch was fixed. But why not just ask the poster directly?
 
cause I am not actually interested in adopting any villagers, I just wondered if there was some new issue, out of curiosity and didn’t want to bother them while they are trying to sell a villager I guess. I’ve seen it from a few different posters, thought it might be a new issue.

I forgot about the amiibo glitch. I think it was fixed before I got the game.

sorry, thought it was okay to ask more broadly.
I don't understand your last sentence. Of course it's okay for you to ask this question, but I do think asking the person who wrote it what it meant would give you a better answer and probably a faster reply than this thread. I was just trying to help you get the best answer possible! Regardless, I googled the phrase for you and only got gamefaq threads from 10-12 months ago stating the same thing in their OP and that's when the glitch still existed. I can't find any newly reported related glitches since 1.8.0a via Google nor the Nintendo Support page, so maybe the people still using it either don't know or just want to make extra sure :lemon: Hope that helped

You can’t take it down. The only way to get rid of it is to replace it with a different design. Also your villagers may still wear the sweater even if it’s not displayed anymore.

oh good to know, ill try to make something more suitable for the season now and will not touch the other designs so that my villagers wont be wearing them the hole time. Thanks a lot for the useful info 💛
 
Hi all! I am new here although I have been playing NH from the start. Does anyone else catalogue their items using an app? If so, is there a way to tell which items have been catalogued most recently in the game? I’m getting mixed up with what I have told the app I have so far and what I am getting for the first time! 🙈 TIA Sam x
