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

What is the quickest way to kick a villager off your island?

The short answer is that the only sure fire quick way to move out a specific villager is through amiibo card. Otherwise time traveling day by day and shutting off the game without saving when someone asks to move to ensure a different villager will ask to move out each day is the best bet (if you say no, no one will ask again for about 5 days). There is ‘no’ way to guarantee a specific villager asks to move so patience is key.

For more detailed advice, you can see this thread from a few days ago:

 
I wished on shooting stars early in the week and then I didn’t have a chance to play after that night, so I want to TT/start the day after I wished. Problem is I can’t remember which night I wished. Say it was Monday night - if I TT to Tuesday (the day I think I left off before/haven’t played yet) and it turns out that was the day I wished and I actually left off before Wednesday/should have TT started on Wednesday, will that mess up the stars? Can I quit without saving until I figure out what day I need to resume on?

Edit: Even without saving the game seems to know I TT because the beaches don’t have the stars the day after wishing. Even though I never played since, and started right on that day. How does it know?

Do I have to wait for a character to be in boxes to start hunting for a new one, or can I start as soon as they tell me they are moving? Thanks for any help, friends! 💜

Neither - You will not find villagers on mystery islands or be able to invite them from other people’s islands until the plot is free (the house will be gone and it will be an empty lot), the day after the villager is in boxes.

You then have that one day guaranteed to look for a new villager. After the first day there is a good chance of the plot being filled by a random/ voided move-in, especially if you play online at all.

Thanks for the info!! 👍
 
I'm in a save file pickle. Need advice before I try something.

My wife started playing NH a while ago on the only switch we had. It had one family profile and was linked to my Nintendo account. Many months later, I get a switch and a copy of NH for myself since I finally have time for it. I set the new switch up with the same family profile and Nintendo account. Turns out we can't play locally or online with each other. We're using the same profile, which has the same friend code. (didn't know it worked this way before setting it all up) I'm trying to get her save moved to another profile on the same switch. Here's what I've found...

Apparently if I create a second profile on our first switch (the one with her save file) then delete the family profile....her save data will remain on the switch and she'll be asked if she wants to use the local data (her original save) when she boots NH on her new profile for the first time. Can anyone verify this before I try it? I don't want to mess up either save. Thanks.
 
Not creating a whole thread for this, but I’ve heard two different things and not sure which is true. Does each island have only one assigned variation that Nook sells? My store only sells black tape decks and the white rattan chairs. There is only one variation for each item being sold and I have not seen him sell any other color. I’ve only completed sets by cataloging from others, finding stuff in trees or from Redd. I thought each island had only one variation assigned to them that is sold, but I’ve heard some people say otherwise. I might just have terrible luck.

I heard it's only 1 variation too. As far as I researched everyone should have only 1 variations and some other from Redd.

Hi everyone! I have stopped playing since April and missed the new updates. What are new items (furnitures, recipes, etc) that came out since April? All I know was there were several new wedding items....Thanks!
 
Do handheld items show up when a dream is uploaded? And do fireworks, if I upload during a time they're in the sky?

I'm working on updating my DA and just wanted to double check!

im curious about lily of the valley,
i know they are achieved when you get a 5 star island. im just wondering if people use them for their islands as decor and such ? like other flowers ? can you even pick them up ?

You cant pluck them like other flowers but you can dig them up and move them.
You cant breed them either.

Theyre just for show.
You can put them wherever looks good to you
 
Where do people find unique and interesting dream addresses?
There are very interesting islands on YouTube, even if you’re looking for something specific. If you just search it in the YouTube search bar, something will likely pop up.
