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

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

Oh okay about that. Well there is no easy answer. its just "RNG". Sometimes they give you clothing and other times they give you new items. I mean it is a cool way to fill out your catalog and I did hear that they sometimes give you some of the new items that was added with the 2.0 update.

Okay Thank you, if it's just RNG then I guess inviting daily amiibo campers is not a sure-fire way to catalog clothing I don't have, oh well.

Yeah everything in this game is RNG these days so good luck trying to complete your catalog.

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.

Spoiler

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

There's not really a strategy for getting specific items, so I would just try to choose the villagers that you think might come with the furniture you are looking for.

If you catch another of the species you want to learn about, you can go to Blathers and select "Tell me about this!". Then show him the desired species and he will give you the details and return if already donated.

Can the villagers on your DLC island be invited to the home island through amiibo?

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Can you catch bugs you haven't caught before on Kapp'n's Boat Tour Islands? (more specifically, the Golden Stag/Horned Atlas/Horned Hercules?)

Does anyone know if there's a furniture piece that looks sort of like the museum plaque from NewLeaf?

That sign to the right. My museum is a bit spare for NH and I want to add some things, including a sign that might look similar to the NL one. Thanks!

Hey everybody,


My name is Pete and i am a returning player who sadly had to start all over i have having a hard time getting back onto the swing of these and am looking for help/assistance. I currently am trying to get myself a cherry, orange, and an apple tree but have had no luck i try to use my nook miles to fly to other islands just to find more pears which is my native fruit lol spent over 40000 miles in search of fruits or even vegetables but am at a loss. Is the only way to get more fruits and vegetables? Or can i only get them from another user? Would u possibly like to become animal crossing friends? And help a brother out if so id greatly appreciate any time or assistance you are willing to give. I play usually after 10pm cst because i am a second shifter so it makes it hard to find others to play or share resources with if your interested or just have some answer please leave a comment below. If you wanna become friends please message me anytime for my switch/animal crossing info my snapchat is also alejandroparks if u perfer that form of communication.


Thanks again,
Pete from the hiddenleaf lol

Sorry to hear you had to start over!! The same thing happened to me about a month ago. I was really sad at first, but for me it was actually kind of nice to have a fresh start and make my island even better the second time. Also- you will only be able to get one other type of fruit through Nook Miles islands. For example, I had cherries my first time and was unable to get anything other than cherries and pears with Nook Miles islands. You can only get vegetables through Leif in Harv's Plaza or Kapp'n's islands, both of which unlock at 3 stars. Sadly I'm not allowed to interact with others that I don't know in the game, but there are a lot of people on this forum who I'm sure would be happy to help. Wishing you the best in starting your new island!

Thanks for the response the nook ticket advice is really gonna save me in the long run but def hard to get back to where i was but ill enjoy my journey thanks again

You mean if they already are on the DLC island and then you try and invite them to your main island with their amiibo? Yes you can.

 

[Red Cat]

Can you catch bugs you haven't caught before on Kapp'n's Boat Tour Islands? (more specifically, the Golden Stag/Horned Atlas/Horned Hercules?)

You can catch most bugs that spawn during the season/time of the Kapp'n island you are on including all of the tree beetles. Note that for them to spawn, it has to actually be a summer island (if your main island is in winter right now, it's only a summer island if it's the summer shell island; any regular island is still a winter island even if the grass is green). There are restrictions on which seasonal islands Kapp'n can take you to if your character has existed for less than a year, but once you arrive on an island you can find any bug that can spawn during that season even if you haven't caught the bug yet.

There is a poster stand item that looks like this:

Not quite the same but it does have museum related images as presets and you could customize it too.

There's also a Standing shop sign, Standing electric sign, Simple panel, Short simple panel, and Wide display stand that are marginally similar but nowhere near as close as the poster stand, which itself isn't that close.

Anyone have any concrete tips for completing the Smile Isle Nook Miles Achievement quickly (or at least quicker than the rate I'm going)? I'm hitting about 3 per hour, on average. I've read several theories and did my own testing. There's a common theory that there can be 2 requests per hour; this is not true. I've done 5 requests within the same hour before. There's another theory that there can only be 1 request open at any given time (excluding ping requests, thought bubble requests, sick villagers, treasure hunts which are separate). This, I believe, is true. In fact, if you do a delivery request, you need to go back to the person who gave you the item to deliver and talk to them for the request to close (and make the completed noise) and the next request to start. This same theory stated that the requests are unlimited and that you must talk to villagers 5 times and there is no cool down. I'm not sure about this because I've had times where I finished a request, talked to all my villagers 5 times and still not gotten the next request. I've read another poster say that they've gotten the request after talking to the villager 7 times. I don't count the dialog when they're fishing or snoozing, etc. (basically any dialog that doesn't give you the 2 options to continue talking or end the convo). I think I should start testing this but I worry about hitting the threshold for talking and having the villagers enter the cool down period and it's already so tedious to do 5. Restarting resets who has the request and also the cool down for talking. I have found that when villagers ask to hang out at your house (or at their house) counts towards the Smile Isle achievement but selling bugs, fish, furniture or clothing from your pockets when they ask does not. I've gotten requests from villagers who were visiting another villager's home before but I have not gotten requests from the HOST when another villager is visiting. I read an someone was able to get 6-10 requests per hour but the post was from months ago, before the update and I wonder if they nerfed the rate or if I'm doing something wrong.

Does anyone know how many turnips I would have to buy in order to get Daisy Mae's 2.0 recipes?

 

[mermaidshelf]

Does anyone know how many turnips I would have to buy in order to get Daisy Mae's 2.0 recipes?

From Inverse: "Some players suggest buying at least 100 turnips to get a recipe, but others have still received recipes after buying 20 turnips. In other words, if you want to be safe, you’ll want to buy around 10 bundles of 10 turnips each to get a recipe from Daisy Mae."

I buy 100 each time and I've been able to get all the recipes each consecutive week.

Just saw your post. Thanks!

Has anybody put together a list of which furniture items you can put multiples of side by side and there's not a gap between them? So like you can like them up to make a counter? I am trying to find a good "bar" for my cocktail lounge project, but so far I'm only found the diner counter table, which doesn't have quite the vibe I'm looking for. But all the other tables etc. I've found so far leave a gap.

Hello! I'm resetting after not playing since shortly after release. Was there any permanently missable items or anything since the game came out?

Nope. Nothing is permanently missable in the game.

Do the glowing moss multiply like weeds when you plant them on your island?
