Does anyone know the best time to catch for profit currently? It was discussed on this forum somewhere, but I can't find it through a search engine.

I've gotten 3 minute ones and 5 minute ones for the English version. Interesting how you got a 6-minute time limit for the Japanese version.

Oh, that's really interesting! Thanks for filling me in. I'll have to keep track of how many minutes I get for my next treasure hunt.

like catching bugs and fish? for me, nighttime is the best time. i typically have more luck with oarfish, blue marlins, tunas, tarantulas, etc at night. this seems to increase a bit if it’s also raining

Anyone know if we can demolish the original bridge we had to build? I don't like the style of it and want to get rid of it once I can purchase other types.

Yes, you can I demolished mine.

Can I move buildings just a little bit to the side, or does it say it collides with the same building I’m trying to move? I don’t want to wast 50k bells trying for nothing

I’m currently a resident on my sister’s island (since it’s her switch and I made my own profile) and my Nintendo account is linked up to it. But I’m planning on getting my own switch soon, and I’m not sure what’s going to happen once I move into my island and link up my account. Am I still going to have access to her island? Will I move out and bring all of my belongings with me? What’s going to happen? I’m very worried.

Thank you!

Pretty sure it collides which is dumb.

My friend really wants one of my villagers. If I kick him out using an amiibo card, can she adopt him without issue?

The Amiibo-specific glitch was "patched," but that patch introduced an even worse glitch that can potentially affect all villager adoptions. Here's a doc with more info. The doc isn't up-to-date and contains some inaccuracies, but that's the gist of it. We still don't know why some adoptions work fine and others glitch; there's a lot of seemingly inconsistent elements.

Our hope is that tonight's content update also contains a patch for this bug. So I'd recommend at least waiting until the update rolls out, and if the glitch still isn't patched, then you can either risk a chance to glitch or continue waiting for a fix.

It depends on whether you prefer fishing or bug catching. Generally, the most valuable fish appear at night. However, if you prefer bug catching, most of the valuable butterflies only appear during the day. Tarantulas only appear at night, but in my experience they're not common enough to make up for the lack of butterflies. If you're going to a mystery island, then nighttime is your best bet because you can make tarantulas spawn more often. I'm assuming you're playing northern hemisphere and not TTing. I don't know what is the best time in other seasons, but you may find valuable beetles at night in the summer.

I've seen people with multiple player houses on their island, and I think I've read that this is because you can only have one island per Switch. If that's the case, would player 2 (or in this case me with a second character) have access to their own custom pattern slots and be able to lay them down/craft items with these custom patterns?

No, the custom pattern slots are shared by all players living on the same island.

Tom Nook has always been the primary NPC in Animal Crossing though. So it wouldn't be "new".

I think the bigger problem is Isabelle has a smaller role in NH than she did in NL.

I thought Isabelle was the main support in NL, and she's been shoehorned into everything Animal Crossing since. The Pocket Camp app art has Isabelle on it rather than Nook. She even got her own Twitter, a slot in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Kart 8. All that makes me believe she had usurped Nook. I hope it stays that way -- I love the Isabelle empire lol.

if you have ten villagers and one is in boxes, can you invite another villager to move in? or must you wait until the villager in boxes has left the town?

 

[hauntedchasm]

Is villager "originality" still a thing?

 

[Z3KK0]

If I move a villager out, can I move them right back in? I have Peggy and love her to bits but I don’t want her to have to live in the default tutorial peppy home.

Anyone know why it seems after cycling about 10 villagers, plots no longer sell to random villagers?
I sold Coco last night, TT'd the days needed one by one for a new villager to move in, and no one came by even after 5 days. The plot remained unsold. I used a NMT and grabbed Goldie from a random island, cycled out Alli, and now her plot isn't selling to a random villager either.

I really don't want to keep using NMT just to cycle new villagers - my whole goal is to save them and keep trying to cycle without them for villagers I want.​

I have a question about the ghost villager. Back in the days of New Leaf, if a villager is packed and ready to go but no one claimed him on that day. The next day, this villager is actually still attached to me (ghost villager )until I travel to another town. If that town has an empty spot, my ghost would move there without anyone asking. If the town has no empty, the ghost is gone forever.

I am wondering if this is still the case for New Horizons? Thank you.

Yeah, that's what people generally call "the void", and "voided villagers". From my understanding, a villager can now stay "in the void" for 4 days. After 4 days, they are gone and there is no danger of them moving into an island with an empty plot.

yep! there's no 16 villager cycle in new horizon

 

[TinyPrincess]

I’m just curious if this has ever happened to anyone cause I hope not. if you were to just move a plot to a different location, can the “I’ve moved out” glitch happen? Or does it usually happen with villagers moving in?
