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

[spacewalker]

im not really sure if i should post this here (sorry if i shouldnt!), since its not about anything in-game, but ive seen a lot of signatures here that have the New Horizons map icons of villagers - are the files of those available yet? and if so, where? ive been googling daily, and ive seen threads about it, but i cant actually find them anywhere

How long do villagers stay crafting an item?

Yes! There have been hints in villagers' dialogues that the Roost Cafe will be back (it's a coffee shop where villagers and NPC sometimes come have a drink and where Keke usually holds its concerts), the museum will probably get an art section at some point and many believe there'll be more shops coming (in previous games there were a beauty salon, a gardening shop, Kicks had its own shop, etc. so there are many possibilities)

one of my villagers said they were hoping for some fancy clothing store and some fancy jewelry store. i can't remember what she called them. they were by a specific name. I suppose i will have to re do my island again in the future then. perhaps i will want to then anyway.

Is it something we all get or do we choose buildings? I kinda wonder if they would do something to the effect of some people will get group A while others will get group B to encourage visiting other's islands.
What do you think?

It seems to be random, but that might be due to the fact we never know when they started. It can be a few hours, or less than a minute after you notice they started - I had both happen to me.

GracieGrace? I imagine everyone will get the same buildings, otherwise it would be unfair to the people who don't pay for a NSO subscription.

If I ever wanted a villager to move back into my town after previously having moved out, is there a set amount of other villager move outs that need to happen first before I'm able to ask them to move back in? I remember it being something like 16 in NL.

How do I time travel safely? I want to get villagers in and out of my island and I've heard about going backward 15 days then creeping back forward while ignoring the villager you don't want. I'm just concerned about messing up my island especially considering my mother and sister also play on my island and I don't want to mess up their experience much (they know I'm thinking about this). Will this corrupt anything? Will anyone I don't want to leave actually leave? Anything I'm not thinking of?

When you're visiting friends' islands does it still show a list like in the past games? So far, I'll get the message "it looks like (town) is open, is that the one you want to visit?"

Maybe I'm dumb, but I just can't figure out how to use photopia/Harv's island.
How to you call your villagers to the studio? Without using amiibo? Or you can't call the animals that currently live in your island, just amiibo?

Can I plant trees in another players' islands? Isabelle just told me there are way too many trees in my island, so I'll try to cut my orchards in half, but I really don't want to cut down perfectly fine fruit trees. I imagine it's easy to do that with best friends (even if I'm not allowed to plant, they should be allowed to uproot my trees), but I don't know if any of my friends want a ridiculous amount of fruit trees (they're asleep right now, and I'm pretty sure they have the perfect amount of trees). I was planning on a giveaway, but I need to know if that's possible before offering my trees to anybody.

Press the down arrow to redecorate, and then the right arrow to open your storage. For some unknown reason, they decided it was a good idea to put villagers as a storage category. It's really easy to miss.

It's about 3 hours. It's not a set time. It seems to start when you turn on the game for the first time that day. Add 3 hours to that, and that villager shouldn't be making the item anymore. A new villager should start making a recipe though.

I've also been able to get up to 3 different recipes from 3 different villagers over the course of the day. Don't know if it's possible to get more.

No, that no longer applies. You can move them back any time you want.

does anyone know if I stopped playing today at 5PM and time travelled tomorrow to today at 6PM, is that counted as time travelling backwards?

When multiple islands on your friend’s list are open, it shows a list and you can even see if there are other players visiting and their name before you chose the island you want to go to.

I currently have the awful "I've moved out" glitch. In theory can I use amiibo to kick the glitched villager (Nibbles), but then later invite Nibbles back using her amiibo?

What time do meteor showers start? Isabelle just announced my first one and I'm eager to make the most of it!

Can you move out the 10th or latest villager in your island? I just got Blanche via Mystery island but I want to get rid of her soon.

Can villagers buy their own furniture from Nook's Cranny? Nook's Cranny had one of the stereo for sale as an unlimited item and I found Marshal owning one at his house but I did not gift him the stereo at all.

Does anyone know of a guide for getting a 5-Star Island Rating? Having issues with Isabelle telling me I have too many trees, and want to try to calculate exactly how many trees I can have before she yells at me.

Also is the 5-Star rating permanent? Could I cut down a bunch of trees, get the rating, and replant them and still be fine?

Very popular. She's at the top of many tier lists.
