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

Does anyone have tips for catching a sea pig? They seem to elude me. I know they're small and move fast, but I'm havin trouble visualizing it/finding any.
 
Ok thanks, that was what I thought so another question If I was to say yes to Kyle moving then go back in time to the correct the day would that force Kyle to be in boxes like it would if you go forward a day? Or would he be gone?
I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about villager moving mechanics :( I've read that travelling backwards counts as a +1 just like if you moved forward, so he should be in boxes then. Others have said that it doesn't count at all, which could also benefit you tbh. But wouldn't you then have to keep playing on the same day? You could move one forward (or back) for the plot to free up, but after that each day would increase the chance of it getting filled, right? So you'd want to keep Kyle in boxes until the update drops, then sync your time to the 5th. At least that's how I understand it.

Ok thanks , right now I’m on Nov 4th so was hoping if I went back to the 2nd he would not be in boxes. If that was the case he wouldn’t be in boxes until tomorrow then Thursday there would be an empty plot. Maybe I will try it and see what happens.

Ah I see. It's weird that I can only find info on whether tt'ing is safe when a villagers is already in boxes (in which case tt'ing backwards is), but nothing on travelling back to put in them in boxes in the first place. Honestly I would've loved to test this out for you so you don't risk anything but I'm currently stuck in the tutorial. 😔 Maybe someone else will be able to help but if you do try it yourself feel free to tell me how it worked out because now I'm also curious lol

You probably already know this, but it only spawns from 4pm to 9am and is extremely rare, so it'll probably just take a while to show up tbh. Also, it's shadow size is actually listed as medium, same as e.g. mussels. Here's a picture of how big that is approximately:

So I did try it and changed the date to the correct day. Kyle is now in boxes. I will try keeping it the same day until it’s time to update. Then see if it lets me update without changing the date.

The picture helps a lot, thank you! I'll have to keep trying. I've been doing batches of 120 while listening to podcasts, starting yesterday.
 
When on Friday will the 2.0 Update be released?!

Will it be at 5 AM; or will it be much later in the day?!
we don't have an official time yet - typically previous updates have released at about 8pm EST the day before, as this is around 9/10am in Japan, so assuming it'll be the same probably sometime around then. i can only assume the DLC will alternatively drop at midnight local time for everyone, but like i said we have no details in that regard

So I Should just wait till I wake up Friday Morning and it'll be up by then?
 
If another person and I both have a villager in boxes at the same time, is there any way to pull off a swap of those villagers or does one of us have to empty the plot first (making a direct trade impossible)?

sadly a direct trade wouldn't be possible - in order to invite a villager you have to have an empty plot available

it's available under promotional goods in the shopping app
 
it started saying this right after this update tho (according to google) but no one knows why

oh that is SO Weird... I just checked mine and it also says unorderable. I definitely bought more than 1 previously to gift to friends. I wonder if the 2.0 update bugged it out.
 
With the update, can I use the atm and access my storage on other people's islands?

I hated my island and wanted to reset with the update but the thought of going back and forth to my poor friend's island dozens of times sounds like a nightmare
 
where is the abd and the wardrobe to access your storage? it's not at the redeem nook miles section for me
