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

If I dig a hole on the ground, does it show in dream address?

Also, what is the pile of leaves with marshmallows called?

I’m still confused about this and I can’t find a direct answer.

A villager of mine moved out, and I had an empty plot for the first time yesterday. I island hopped a bit but didn’t invite anyone.

I thought I’d have today to island hop too. Unfortunately, the empty plot says a random villager (not one I encountered while island hopping, and not a friend’s old villager) is moving in!

Is there anyway I can still purchase the villager I want, instead here?

You can only purchase villagers if you have an empty plot, right?

That really limits the timeframe. 😢

when a villager moves out you have one day guaranteed with an empty plot which you can fill with a villager you invite from a mystery island or from someone else’s island. After the first day there is a (in my and my friends’ experience) a very strong chance the plot will be filled by a random move-in or voided villager

you need an empty plot to invite a villager from someone else’s island, but a villager can be moved out through an amiibo card, a random campsite visitor, or if they ask to leave (though the most recent move-in will never/ only very rarely ask to move out)

Edit: I should have mentioned, I do have some amiibo cards if you would like help finding a villager you really want in the future! Hope the random move in is someone you are at least okay with (even though it is still disappointing to have your search cut short).

If I want to have two bridges "connecting" how much land needs to be between them? Trying to make a big body of water and I'd like to know if this is possible before I waste bells.

Sort of like

bridge1-->small land spot-->bridge2

I want to know the smallest size I can make the small land spot be.​

thank you so much! I understand now. I wanted Purrl but next time I get an open plot I’ll come online for her. I’m sad I turned down Fauna, she would’ve been better than my random! But Marina seems cute.
 
What items on the ground count against your island rating and what dont? i think its changed since i last played but im not sure
 
Should we expect version 2.0 for the 20th anniversary of the series in April? I'm trying to keep expectations low (also quite happy with today's update) but it's difficult as we are suspiciously close to the 2.0 version number shortly before April 2021.

Anything that doesn't naturally occur, if I'm not mistaken. So tree branches, stones and maybe shells are fine, but anything else isn't.

No one can say for sure. On one hand, the 20th anniversary is pretty special (and it would be cool for 2.0 to line up with the 20th anniversary), on the other, I wouldn't be surprised if we got updates less frequently now that it's been a year. There hasn't been any official statement, though.

I will try hard to keep my expectations low ;) Together with the Switch hardware update rumours (here is me really hoping for the iOS model with updates every few years but the same game library) it is getting hard though.
 
This may have been asked before, but I have a question about placing items on an outdoor table. I'm trying to place the new cake on a Stone table, for example. How do I slide the cake toward the center of the table? It looks awkward sitting on the edge.

There's no way to move items on a table while outdoors. If you can't place it there directly, there's no way to move it there.

I was hoping I just missed something but I was afraid of that. Maybe they'll change that mechanic in the future. Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate it! 🙂
 
Quick, possible dummy question - I won't be able to get the seasonal (prom, bunny day etc) Nook's Cranny furniture without upgrading it, right? ;-;

That's correct, for the most part. Not sure about the prom items, but I know the Bunny Day items are displayed in a seasonal space that doesn't unlock until you have the upgrade. Of course, trading is always an option, if there's some reason you want to avoid upgrading.

Nooo, it's not about avoiding upgrading, I just know that I might be late with upgrading before all the events |D (I've resetted about 5 march or something) Yeah, trading will help, though it will be more difficult than just being able to buy the things myself xD

There should still be a week left before any of the items show up, so you should be able to get the upgrade before then, hopefully. The Bunny Day items should start appearing March 28th, and the prom items will start April 1st, if I'm not mistaken.
