Hello everyone. Popping in to ask an important question I cant get a straight answer on.
I bought Animal Crossing on my user profile account on the switch. My girlfriend and I both played the game on the same console using our own user profiles. We have broken up, and because she fell in love with ANCH so much, and worked on that island so much, we decided she would keep the Switch.
Here's the issue:
The game is purchased under my account, and it was a download. I intend to get a new Switch. When I do, she wont be able to play my copy of ANCH anymore on her Switch because it is a downloaded game, and you can only use downloaded games on your primary Switch.
What we want to figure out is how she can keep playing the game without losing the island.
She is unable to buy a copy from the Nintendo store because it says the game is already purchased.
If she logs out my user, and buys the game on her account, what happens? Does the island disappear or will her copy of the game just load the island data thats on the switch?

Is anyone else fishing up more trash since the update? A few days ago, I put 3-4 trash bag items on my island to decorate. I guess I'm wondering -- could that cause more garbage to spawn, or is this just a side effect of the update?
Is it maybe that you get them in HHP and can then bring them to your regular island?? I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning when I get to download HHP!!
I know that you can get your island back via the back-up option when the case happens that your Switch gets damaged and need to be fixed, therefore losing your save file. Does someone know if it's possible however to get your island/save file back on a complete new Switch, like if you contact the Nintendo costumer service for example? Do they have access to your back-up and can somehow transfer it to the new Switch?

How does the dlc work with multiple users on the switch? If I buy it on my main account, will my second character (who has her own Nintendo account) also have access to it?

Only if the account that bought the dlc has that switch set as their primary console
Here's how to do that as well as check whether your switch is already registered as your primary console
It sounds like you can do this: https://animal-crossing.com/news/#!...nsfer-feature-in-animal-crossing-new-horizons
Honestly, I think your best bet for this would be to contact costumer support.
Same here, the only new thing in my Nook's Cranny were the recipes. I guess since the items pop up randomly, it's possible to get only old items on a given day.
I know about this, but is there an option to get your island back if the Switch which originally had it is damage and therefore you can't use this? :/

In HHP, once we build more homes, do we also get more items to decorate ? I kind of wanted to make everything spooky. The first home didn’t have any spooky items to make this possible.

Yes you'll unlock a few items that at least vaguely fit the given concept of the villager you're decorating for every time (until you have it all I guess lol). For spooky items to appear you would probably have to get a villager that has a specifically Halloween or Horror-oriented request.

The sticks on the pond on the HHP island. Can we get those in our island?

Is it true that there is new Tropical fruit added? I've searched on Kapp'n tour islands and so far I haven't seen any.

Sorry, but I wanted to elaborate on your first question after having just done another house. It's true that you get some items related to the villager's request, but you also get items related to the villager themselves. I just had to do a (spoilers) "Teatime Terrace" for Petri, but I also unlocked lab coats, medicine chests and lab-experiment sets at the same time. So a more gloomy villager might come with spooky items regardless of what they want!
As for the pond thing, probably not. There's nothing in the datamine or the item listings that would suggest we could. Like the light-colored cliffs and the dark suspension bridge that's just decoration unique to the HHP island.
No. If you look at all the 2.0 items datamined here (very image-heavy site, may load slow) and scroll down to the plants and crops section you'll see that it's still only the coconut tree.

Seriously? Well that is disappointing.......

Oh ok! Thank you for your reply. I thought the little sticks were kind of nice. It would be lovely if they had added it.
What do the reactions from the villagers mean in Happy Home Paradise?
I get that the heart means they love the item you placed, but what's the exclamation mark? Is it better than the heart or does it mean they don't like it?

I think it's just random. I've had villagers react to an item with the exclamation mark and then after I put it away and brought it out again they reacted with the heart. Unless I'm missing some other factor, it seems like they don't really react badly if you're using the items in the "suggested" list.
