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

Hiya, when you change the design of your island flag with Isabelle, will the default design (the green leaf) be deleted, or can you change back anytime?

If you are talking about your Nook Shopping catalog, you can only purchase it by redeeming Nook Miles. If it is not showing up for you in your Nook Miles redemption screen it is probably a glitch.

Thanks, found it, I didn't realize it required the real Nintendo Switch Online app on the phone! I started logging in to get NookLink points everyday from now on. :)
 
Can you buy all types of flowers (I mean non hybrid) and bushes from Leif, or is it required to get them from other towns via trading?
So far Leif has only showed up twice in my town, so will he sell all types as he shows up more?

You can buy all types of non-hybrid flowers and all bushes from Leif. The flowers work on a monthly calendar. The Nooklings sell one of the monthly flowers each day, while Leif will have non-monthly flowers. For the bushes, Leif is guaranteed to have whatever bush is in bloom and a non-seasonal one. For the non-seasonal stuff, it's all down to luck what you get.

Got it, thank you for answering! c:
 
Is it worth filling all the vacation home properties in HHP? I see that new stuff still gets unlocked after you've finished the main story (spoilerfree if possible).

Thank you! Does this work with the Joy-Cons when playing handheld or only when docked using a controller? I was trying the left joystick and it didn't seem to work…I wasn't docked though, I was using the Joy-Con handheld.

This should work regardless of which mode you play in! Just checking, are you moving it down as if you're using it to move your character, or pressing it down like it's a button (because it is)? It should be the latter, I've seen people get confused by that before.

There is a little bit of content to unlock after the main story, but not much. You should run into that soon. There is no real benefit in filling out all 48 islands, except for (tiny spoiler) making a little bit of progress towards another raise. Even after using every island once, the game continues as normal; you will just have to build on islands you've used before.
 
Quick question: Because of a certain annoying error, I need to do a full redownload and reinstall of the game. I will have to dl and reinstall the DLC manually afterward from the eShop, correct?

Update: Can confirm the DLC downloads automatically after the game.

I have a question. Since I restarted my island on the 2nd switch I have to wonder. How long does it take to do Happy Home Paradise just to unlock the feature to fix villager homes on the island?
 
Has anyone else's daily visitor schedule been very strange for a while (possibly since 2.0, maybe one of the sub-updates)? I've been keeping track since I started noticing and I haven't seen Saharah in three weeks, have only seen Kicks and Leif once each in those three weeks, and Redd and Label have both shown up three weeks straight. (Last Thursday I had Redd and last Friday I had Label; yesterday I had Label again and today I have Redd again to show how extreme it's starting to feel)

Is it due to having the RVs unlocked on Harv's island? Is it just a holdover from having two holidays in back to back weeks on weekdays? Is my game just being weird?

Update: I had Kicks last Monday and now I have him again today (Wednesday). 3/3 of my visitors this week have been repeats from last week. Something is very off.

Is there a strategy to unlock all items in Happy Home Paradise? I understand the more homes you design, the more items in the catalogue you get. Is there anything you should pay attention to when choosing the next vacation home to design?

Does Blathers trivia appear anywhere else in the game? I missed quite a bit in the beginning since I did not know that he will only tell you something if you hand in donations one by one. The major leftover wish (except for larger rooms) I have for this game is walking through the museum and reading more about the fish, insects and dinosaurs.

You've got to finish the main HHP quest and wait one day to get this feature.

This is after designing 30 vacation homes and the apparel store.

can I keep a house a tent indefinitely? it's not my main villager, just an extra one. I'm not worried about storage, I just like the look of the tent and I have some lore ideas around the character!

Yep! As long as you don't upgrade, you can keep that character's house as a tent forever.

It's not that designing more homes gets you more items, exactly. Each specific villager unlocks a specific set of items. You can see the list here. So if you're looking for certain items, you'll want to be on the look out for certain villagers. I believe that items you buy from the HHP gift shop (i.e. the random rotating set of 5 items) also get added to the HHP catalog.
I'm guessing you already know this, but in case you didn't, after designing the 27th house, your HHP catalog also includes all items from your regular Nook Shopping catalog.

If you talk to Blathers while you have the fish/bug/whatever in your inventory, you can ask him to give his little spiel. Just select the option that says, "Tell me about this!" Alternatively, Nookipedia should have most if not all of his flavor text if you search whichever fish/bug/whatever you're looking for.

I checked this thread to see if this had been answered before I'm really sure it hasn't
So about the campsite villager rewards, when I amiibo invite a villager to my campsite for the sole purpose of trying to obtain new DIYs, when I craft the item a villager wants the reward they give me seems to always be a new item not in my catalog(unless I'm mistaken and they gave me an item I already had but I don't remember that) Is the reward they give you random or is it guaranteed to be something not in your catalog(provided yours isn't complete)

???

Its random of whatever DIY they give you and it usually depends on their personality of what type of DIY you are getting when you invite them to your campsite.

I was asking about the items they give you if you craft them the DIY they wanted.
