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

Does anyone know if the mechanics of getting villager photos changed with the new update? I've been trying to get Lopez's pic since before the update with no luck, and I'm trying again now with the update, still no luck. I gifted a wrapped stack of two fruit per day and I was wondering if that should still work.

EDIT: IDK if it's changed somewhat, but now I can officially confirm that you can still get phots from the wrapped stack method~ Lopez FINALLY gave his up last night!

This will be the last question I will ask about Happy Home Paradise. When you are done unlocking the feature to design your villager homes is there any more features left to be unlocked or thats it and the only reason to go back is to grind Poki to get all those items from Lottie's shop?

For those that have the dlc and have built the recipe: I’m working on it now and I am wondering it we put just plates on the tables, if the plates get replaced by the food that the working villagers make or if it is like in HHD any furniture you put out won’t be replaced. Or if I put out food instead on the tables, will they eat that and that eventually gets replaced by whatever they’re making in the back.

Does anyone know why Harriet isn't giving me new hairstyles ? She only gave me one when I opened the first shop but now every other days she's walking around Harv's island and isn't offering me any haircut. Did I broke her ?

Are you going during the day? I think she relaxes by the fire/enjoys the co-op at night

So, my friend hasn't been working on her museum and still hasn't opened the art gallery. However, with the 2.0 update, she has already unlocked Redd on Harv's island and bought a statue from him. She took it to the museum and Blather's says she has nothing to donate, so the art gallery renovation can't be triggered. Since Redd is on Harv's island now, is he still going to show up on her island?

In short, do traveling merchants still come to your island after they have opened up shop on Harv's island? Because I haven't seen them yet and neither has she.

What time is considered night ? At 5pm she's already on break it looks like

If you press the B button multiple times, he’ll stop singing and get you to the island faster.

Hi! This is more of a question for the lovely mods~. If I wanted to make a thread full of rooms I've designed in HHP, where should I post that? o:
Idk if HHP is big enough on here to warrant a whole new subsection (like the stalk exchange, Nook's cranny ect)

Hi everyone! I am honestly really stumped here, with Harv's island where all the shops are open at , is there a reason why the stock isn't changing for me daily? ;A; I hope I didn't mess something up.

It changes weekly, as well as when they go to your island, and come back.

You can get redd to change his stock by buying his art even if you don't want it.
The next day it will be a new piece

Ah, thank you so much! I was trying different buttons and could not figure this out.

Had a question about achievements dates, I remember vaguely that if I finished an achievement on another person's island, it would record the time of achievement of their island? (Ex: if I sold x amount of fruit achievement on an island that TT'ed to like 2022, it would mark down in my achievements as the 2022 date instead of my own switch's date). Is this still true? I'm going to reset my island and didn't want my achievement dates to be too messed up

Is there any way to customize the exterior of villager's houses on our island?

Edit- Woops. Should have tried searching it first.
You can! I am stoked!

Question about kapp'n
Can you find villagers on the islands he visits? Or is that still only a mystery island thing?

Question about 2nd player

can 2nd player unlock Be A Chef! Diy Recipes? Went to the nook stop on my 2nd account but cant see to find it! Anyone knows how and why?

 

[letterKnumber9]

I'm pretty sure you can't find villagers on Kapp'n islands

all players should be able to unlock the cooking recipes. I just checked and my second character is able to get them. The only requirement I’ve heard is that your island has to be 3 stars to unlock it.
