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

Do umbrellas show up in dream address? I know they didn’t in new leaf, so I would like to know if they do in new horizons. Can anyone upload a dream holding an umbrella?

Does the dream owner hold one? Yes.

If you don’t mind visiting my DA, let’s test it out. DA-2950-3520-2885.

three test subjects:
Celeste: She should have a rainbow umbrella on hand.

Andrea: She’s dressed in all green. She has a snowflake unbrella in her pocket, but it’s not selected. An exsquisite umbrella is in her closet.

Santos: He lives in a tent and is wearing a yellow striped swim suit. He doesn’t have any umbrellas in his inventory.

Thank you so much for this, I really appreciate it! I wanted to upload my dream address eventually, and I wanted it to be during a rainy day. I’m glad you can select the umbrellas.

First one I found was santos, no umbrella.
Also found t and s, and j, and I , no umbrella. Ram, no umbrella.
Finally found Celeste and she had a rainbow umbrella 😍.

It took me forever to find Andrea, but it also answered my previous question, which is great. I found her inside her home. I wanted to know if the residents can be seen inside Houses. The answer is yes.

Oh wow! I didn’t know that Andrea was in her house. It could be because I logged off inside her house.

I’m glad that this was helpful!
 
Sorry another question. Does the dream owner wear an umbrella that they select? Or just a random one or default one? I know in new leaf when the dreams were uploaded, it defaulted to a random red umbrella.

That was an umbrella I had in my inventory. I can look again later today to see what happens when you don't have one.

Never mind. @Bluelady put together a good test.
 
I used to be able to make wishes on stars and then time travel to the next day to pick up the fragments. However, I recently did this and immediately saw Isabelle announcing that that evening was the meteor shower. At first, I was super excited, thinking that I was somehow having two meteor showers in a row, but then there were no stars on the beach from the previous night.

Did meteor showers change in regard to time travel or did I just somehow get very confused? TIA
 
People will have their own opinions on this subject. I personally don’t think it’s bad, and it’s not cheating. Play how you want to play regardless of what someone tries to tell you. If someone says time traveling is bad, that’s just their opinion. Opinions are not facts.
💯 what @Croconaw said. "Bad" is a judgement, not a fact.

There are also different ways of "time traveling." Some people still play in sequential order, but start back on the day they missed if they haven't played in a few days. You might find that one way of time traveling works better for you. Maybe traveling to the future ruins the fun/surprise but due to life commitments you have to change the time of day. Maybe you missed something due to a life commitment, so you change your clock back but then don't go ahead in time…or maybe you do the opposite; you know you're going to miss something coming up so you go ahead and do it before your life commitment. :)
 
I have a question. I really like the relaxing, soothing music that’s played early morning on my island. At the same time, I’m sick and tired of the standard played at other times during the day. Is there anyway to change the music that’s being played on the island – the background music?

i’m afraid not. :(
 
I have a question on time-traveling that I hope someone could answer for me.

So I was using time-traveling on a different game (Pokémon Shield) to October 17th, and I discovered that I forgot to set the time back when I boot up ACNH. By the time I hit Home and closed the game when Isabelle announced the date and time, it was too late, and all the negative effects of time-traveling backwards I've read about are present.

My question is, could I know more about these negative effects, and are they drastic enough to affect my game? For example...

Negative EffectsNeutral Effects
  • Turnips will spoil.
  • Turnip prices will change and your trend will be reset.
  • Watered effect will be removed from flowers and they will not grow/breed.
  • ABD chain will reset.
  • Villagers will advance moving in/out.
  • It will not count as a "new day" in terms of progression.
  • Building construction/upgrades/moves will not be completed.
  • Shop stock will be the same as it was the first time you visited that day unless you leave the current week.
  • Rocks and trees will not refresh.
  • Mail will not be delivered.

Okay, so I didn't buy any turnips before I time-traveled, so it should be no issue, but does that mean the turnip prices won't change ever until October 17th, real time? What about Nook's Cranny stock, the mail, flowers growing into full bloom, the building construction/moving and the rock/tree refreshing? Will all of those be stuck until Oct 17th? If so, is there a way to fix this?

Edit:
'Tis alright now. Some kind folk at the NH subreddit helped me out by advising me to reset the date to the previous Sunday. Helped me soft-reset everything. Phew. Disaster prevented.

Can we transfer a character linked to one Nintendo profile on one Switch to another Switch and link it to a different Nintendo profile? My sister got her own OLED Switch with Animal Crossing and we'd like to transfer my mother's character, which is linked to her profile on my Switch.
 
is there any way i can "hire" someone to come to my island and dig up every single one of my flowers? is that a thing?

If you're asking if you can request a villager or any NPC to do that, currently no (unfortunately). But you can most definitely ask an actual player to do it, which would essentially be a regular trade. Nookazon actually has an option for that! It's specifically for picking flowers, weeds, etc. I hope this answered your question!
 
Probably been answered already, but do the Mario pipes work when playing online with friends?
