if i've invited someone to my campsite for the third time via amiibo, but i dont invite them to come live on my island that day, does this lock me out of getting them as a villager?

its Gaston's third visit, but it's also past midnight for me, and i really cant find a good spot to put his housing plot - i really want him living close to me, since he's my fave, but ive never used amiibo cards before, and i'm worried about losing my chance to get him. if that's the case, i'll just throw a housing plot down and relocate it later, but i already have like four houses i need to rotate with eachother, and it'd be much easier if i could just wait a day and invite him back over tomorrow...but idk if thats an option

How do Celeste’s visits work? Does she only show up on nights there’s a shower? She’s in my town for the second time, and this time she gave me a DIY recipe, but I haven’t seen any shooting stars either time she’s been here, and my villagers haven’t mentioned any, either.

No, she can show up when there isn't a meteor shower. It's random.

There can also be a meteor shower without her.

If someone else comes to my town to wish on shooting stars, will star fragments show up in their town the next day? Or will they only show up for me since I'm the host?

Edit: I figured it out. They will receive star fragments even if they visit someone else's town and wish upon stars!

In-game bells. It distinguishes their preferred payment method from TBT, which is the forum currency.

When placing ramps, can they be placed horizontally or vertically? Or just vertically? Please and thanks

They can be placed both vertically and horizontally.

 

[IndiaHawker]

Awesome thanks! How wide are they please?

 

[Ras]

Do we ever get faster mail service?

 

[Khaelis]

Awesome thanks! How wide are they please?

2 "tiles" wide, and I believe 3 or 4 tiles long.

What's a decent way to make bells in NH? I never seem to have enough and even selling fish and bugs I don't make very much...

Is your game northern or southern hemisphere?

If you're in northern, you can try tarantula hunting. It has to be at night, after 7pm. You can do it on your own island, but it's easier if you get a tarantula island. There's some videos on YouTube and such that describes all of that.

You can buy turnips on Sundays and then keep track of prices in your town. If you have an online subscription you can look for towns to sell your turnips in that have high profits.

Besides those things, the best thing to do is just to go fishing and bug catching. Make sure to save the high value bugs and fish for when Flick (bugs) and CJ (fish) visits.

Make note of different hot items. Hoard materials every day -- go around chopping wood, bonking rocks, etc. Some hot items sell for A LOT of Bells, for very little material.

Half my Bells are probably from selling hot items at Nook's Cranny.

Celeste will show for a meteor shower, but finding Celeste doesn't mean you'll have a meteor shower. You'll know there will be a meteor shower because Isabelle will include it as part of her morning announcements. They run from 7p to 4a, and there are tons. I believe I wished on 200 or so in less than 2 hours.

Also, I believe the max amount of star fragments (Aries, Large, and Small) on any given day is 30. What's odd is I've found the beach can only hold 15. Once cleared, and after 12p, 15 more show up (at least that's how it worked for me). It obviously depends on how many you wished on the night before, but heads up on that.

Can you at some point buy or make a pond to put fish in like a koi pond that would be in some restaurant??

 

[terminator]

Do villagers still give you a picture when you achieve max friendship with them? I haven't managed to get any or have seen anyone talking about them.

 

[NinjaNin]

Isabelle mentioned something about a contest that ended yesterday in the morning announcement. Does anyone know what that is about?

Are you sure? My boyfriend came to my town when I had Celeste and no scheduled meteor shower and he didn't get anything.

After speaking to Sable a few times she starts giving you bags of something. I must have skimmed through the original text cos I have no idea where they go or what they are for, something to do with customizing stuff. She's handed me like 4 bags so far and I've no idea how to use what she's giving me. Is it like some sort of extra customization option for certain furniture pieces or something?
