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

[dizzy bone]

i had left space around the kitchen, i wonder if it got replaced because i had a pan placed on top of it

I was wondering why Jambette installed another kitchen but this could be it! I swear I remember other villagers cooking regardless of placed items though, because I generally like to decorate with smaller objects. ALSO I don't know if it counts but my Jambette also had a lot of hanging things above on the ceiling where her kitchen was.

Do purple sunsets exist in this game? I tried googling it but I can never tell if all those photos online are real or edited.

I think this is the most "purple" it'll get:

I don't think I've seen a true purple sunset and just seeing the ones on Google looks like they're using the dramatic in-game filter or another filter app.

Thanks. I was half-convinced that the bright purple ones still exist but I guess it was just wishful thinking

When you scan in an Amiibo card for a special character (e.g. KK Slider, Niko, Redd, etc.), what happens?

I'm under the impression that scanning them in the café means that they'll sit and have a coffee. But do you get anything else, like items? And what happens when you scan them in at the ABD in the Town Hall?

Thanks.

When you scan a special character at the ABD, it will tell you that they can't be invited to the campsite (either they're busy, or can't talk right now).

When you scan them at Harv's studio, you can take photos with them like you would any other villager, and you will then get their poster in your Nook Shopping app.

At the café, scanning them means they'll sit and have a coffee, and depending on who you scan in, they will sometimes bring other special characters with them. Some of them have cute dialogue too, like DJ KK.

Someone might have more experience testing the amiibos than me, but as far as I'm aware, there aren't any items associated with scanning in the cards at Brewster's.

In addition to SJ's post, if you have the HHP DLC and scan them there, you can make them a vacation home, which upon completion gets you their framed photo (separate item from their posters). This is the only way to obtain them other than trading for them.

Thank you both!

The Simple Wooden Fence recipe is available at the Nook Stop using the Nook Miles Redemption service. As with all the other Nook Miles fencing, only two varieties of fencing will be available per day, so this recipe will only be available periodically. It's best to check back every day.

Thank you.

Does anyone know if there is a guide to basically run through the HHP dlc? For example, is there a minimum amount of plants, flowers, furniture, and etc that I must place on the outside and inside of a house? Can I pass with leaving the garden area blank?

I still have to unlock the decorating features for 2 more players and this process is so slow.

Does Celeste always go to the highest part of anyone else's island or is that just me? Like except the first time I got her she has always gone to the highest point. ( which I guess makes sense for star gazing and makes it super easy to find her)

you can quite literally just put down their 3 required items and call it good, that's all you need to complete their home

she can spawn anywhere! it's pretty random, im not sure if she has any specific spawn mechanics. despite having high points on my island, i find her most often at sea-level.

Does Isabelle always tell you if Redd turns up?

 

[littlesnorlax]

Does Isabelle always tell you if Redd turns up?

Not necessarily, as her daily NPC announcement can be overridden by events (such as a heavy meteor shower or her seasonal announcements). You can always check quickly if Redd is on your island by looking for his ginkgo leaf icon on your map.

I have arachnophobia, so I’m afraid to look up the info. Can someone tell me if spiders are shaken from trees, please? Thank you.

Yep, they are! Spiders can be found by shaking trees between 7 PM and 8 AM in any weather/season.

For making hybrids show up in HHP DLC for decorating, do you have to have grown the hybrid yourself or can you receive it in a trade?

Also, do alternative variants of the NPC amiibos do anything? Like KK Slider vs DJ KK, the multiple Isabelles, etc?

Possibly minor spoilers if you've only just started HHP.

Spoiler

To unlock hybrids for decorating, you first need to have decorated the school (I believe the school is unlocked after six houses). After decorating the school, Leif will show up on the HHP island. You can talk to him, and he will give a class at the school. After to going to his class, you'll be able to use hybrid flowers!

As for the amiibos, I haven't played with them enough to answer, but I know at Brewster's you get different dialogue from KK vs DJ KK. Maybe someone else will have better info on that one.

2 questions related to flowers. My town is overgrown with flowers. I want to keep many of them but in a more organized way.

Any suggestions on garden/greenhouse themes/items/etc. that won't allow the flowers to grow out of control?

And is there any way to mass move/uproot flowers or at least do it quicker than shoveling each individual one?

I don't have any ideas for garden themes, but the technique I see most often for keeping flowers under control is to use a custom design on the ground. If you make one of your custom design slots a transparent tile, you can place the "design" around any flower areas and it will prevent flowers growing in those spaces. I prefer just trying (unsuccessfully) to dig up my flowers before they get out of control, but I've seen people use the transparent tile technique a lot.

As for moving flowers, I don't think there's an easy way to move them around the island. If you want to get rid of them, the fastest way is to carry around a trashcan, fill your pockets with flowers, throw them away in the trashcan, and then keep going. You won't be able to get the flowers back though, so it's only good for destroying them completely!

Never knew about the trashcan trick so that's very useful, thank you!

I've seen a few towns using the custom tiles around gardens, I like that idea, maybe I'll try that out
