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

[meatballsaregood]

i've been having a problem with my Hans amiibo. The game registers him in Phototopia and at the Nook Stop, but whenever I try to invite him, i get an "answering machine" message that says they're moving. it's not a problem with him being next to move in, since I had an empty plot open for him to move into and it went to some random villager. there is/was no one else in my campsite for there to be any kind of conflict with.

i looked online and there was no real answer so i ended up contacting nintendo support, who said it was a known issue that will be resolved soon. however, i was curious if any one else encountered this and has ever found a fix for it. i am willing to be patient but i also want to see what this forum has to say about this bug!

Does TT only ruin turnips if you change the DATE backwards, or will going back minutes or an hour do the same thing?

Got back from my errands at exactly one minute after noon and just missed the morning price to put in the calculator. I was really tempted to fudge the clock back half an hour but I wasn't sure what the consequences would be

Can shrubs be planted directly next to each other or does there need to be a 1 tile gap?

Will villagers send pictures after they moved out? Just to be safe, I stopped 2 villagers from moving to get their picture if that's the case.

They can be directly by each other! From my experience they grow in a 1x1 space just like flowers do.

Okay...I am thoroughly confused. I want to do an incline, but no matter what I do, it just keeps saying there is no even stretch of cliffs here...and that is literally making me have question marks above my head. Even when I am at a even stretch... I'm very lost.

Time travelling question:
I noticed when I went 1 hr backwards it un-watered all my flowers. Is this a thing and why?
Also, if I were to play all the way to May and then travel back to April, would the days already be "done"? (No more diys on beach, same items in shop as first time etc). Ty!

So are the new tools at the upgraded Nook's Cranny regular durability, just cute? I'd like to buy the elephant watering can but I don't really see the point if it's gonna break on me easily.

ETA: I went ahead and bit the bullet and it looks like they have the same durability as regular tools! So you pay a little extra to save on an iron ore.

I think, but I might be wrong, that you have to have the upper squares actually go back onto the cliff itself before it'll call it an even stretch. I had this problem myself but this seemed to solve it.

I don't think so, no. Considering they don't send you farewell letters.

I've got a question for y'all: is Mother's Day and Father's Day events in NH?

 

[fanism]

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.

That's a lot of days .... thanks

Do you need to have one of every type of personality villager to get every d.i.y recipe or something like that? like in new leaf, certain public work projects were locked behind certain villagers. Is there something similar like that in new horizons?

So, I gave Agnes a pink silk dress for her birthday. She moved in the day before her birthday. I gave her a pink silk dress yesterday and today. She is still wearing her default outfit, but every time I give her the pink silk dress, she says she's already wearing it. Anyone know how to fix this bug?

Is there a way to ensure that villagers will wear the clothes and accessories you give them rather than displaying them in their house?

 

[CamJam]

When going to someone else's island to sell turnips, what is an appropriate and reasonable bells tip to leave?

 

[Junee]

After you donate your first piece of art to the museum, does the art section open up the next day or does it need to be under construction for a day before it opens? Also, if you have to wait a day for construction is the whole museum closed or not?

Someone onsite shared a part of the guidebook that said different personalities give different Reactions for you to learn. Not sure about recipes though.

Is Lief gonna be a regular merchant like Kicks and Labelle?

Is there a way to ensure that villagers will wear the clothes and accessories you give them rather than displaying them in their house?

Honestly, no. From what I have done is I give them the clothes when they are outside. For instance, Judy has worn what I have given her. So has Peggy when she was on my island. Fuchsia didn't wear the shirt I gave her, she was indoors. She put it as deco instead. So maybe location matters? But in the end, they have their own tastes too and will wear what they want, like us!

10% is good.

Is Lief gonna be a regular merchant like Kicks and Labelle?

Yes he will.

Do hybrids always have a chance to duplicate themselves?

 

[Stil]

Do hybrids always have a chance to duplicate themselves?

(Not if you dont water them)
Yes, but the rate varies on how many different people water the flowers that day. The chances increase when you have people come to your island to water them.
