What happens to your flowers if you tt to winter?

 

[Sicariana]

(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.

So, instead of trying to breed a blue rose and a gold rose, I can just buy them and water them each day?

 

[Stil]

Yes, for blue roses (at least it happened to me) a single rose can bud into a second one.
As for gold roses, You need to water black roses and then those black roses have a chance to produce a gold rose.
I could be wrong, but I dont think gold roses produce more gold roses.

How do you know what your native flower is?

How do you know what your native flower is?

It'll be the flower on the 3rd level on your island when you first move in.


I have a question about weeds: I planted some in an area of my town a while back and they matured, which is what I wanted them to do.
However, when I planted them again recently in a different area they've just stayed young. Why is this?

Did you pick up those same weeds and plant them again, as in moving them? I believe picking up weeds totally resets how much they've matured, unlike flowers and trees, etc. I've noticed that planting weeds can have them come out with totally different maturities.

All the ones I've planted were picked from when I first moved in, I planted like say ~20 in one area and they grew like trees in a couple of days (from clover -> overgrown plants).

I planted some more in a different area and they've just stayed young for over a week now, and I'm not sure why that is. Maybe there's a limit to how many matured weeds you can get?

Does anyone who TTs know if Leif appears as a regular random visitor in the plaza outside of the Nature Day timeframe? I'm going to need a lot more shrubbery than I bought originally lmao

 

[zenni]

I adopted Diana from a different island, and she was wearing something that the previous owner gave her.
I talked to Isabelle to reset her clothes, but she keeps going back to the old clothes each morning.
Is there any way to perma-reset her clothes? Do I just have to go back to Isabelle every day?

Quick question - do shrubs need space around it to grow like trees do, or can they grow in any 1x1 space even with stuff around it?

 

[GarudaRamuda]

I've started bushes directly adjacent to buildings, rivers, trees and cliffs with no issue. If you can dig a spot it seems to support bushes. Fully grown bushes can be moved without any energy too, so it's easy to toy around with placement.

Is the glitched amiibo force out fixed yet?

 

[croquet]

What is the best way to block off an area from spawning daily things like fossils and wandering visitors so I never have to go back in that area again?
Do I have to block every single tile with something impassable like a shrub? Or will weeds be enough to block visitors like CJ and Flick from spawning back there?

Also, the FAQ says you can only build cliffs up to 3 levels max, but you can have a fourth layer that cannot be climbed up or walked on top of. I just found this out and it blew my mind. (ground, layer 2, layer 3, layer 4 unclimbable) Thanks!

Anyone know of a good method for getting out a villager? I've heard of a 15 day method but not sure how it's done. I'd appreciate if anyone can elaborate for me

 

[Red Cat]

Is there a way to enter Redd's boat the first day he's on your island, or do you have to wait for his next visit to enter it?

 

[stephzs]

I've never done trades before, let's say someone wants to trade my villager for NMTs, how would I go about doing that and avoid getting scammed? Do they just drop their NMTs on the ground when I invite them to my island?
Thanks in advance.

 

[SakuraJD]

So i noticed a nook mile mission for 'plant trees' finished when i planted a Bush / Shrub so it got me thinking, for the purpose of a 5 star town... do Bushes count as Trees? will planting 50 bushes mean I have to chop down 50 trees now?

I am in no way an expert, but I’ve heard of people making cages outside the airport. You build a fence and require them to drop the NMTs before you take away one of the fence pieces to let them go further. It may insult some traders, but you can just say better safe than sorry.

For my question, will animals change their music if you send them a different piece like in NL? Will they change it if you hand it right to them?

SakuraJD, did you know Vivian’s catchphrase is piffle?

Except you can't remove a fence when a player is over. They'd have to drop, leave, close your gate, and come back to do that.
But fencing in an area is a good idea if you don't want people running around, picking flowers, etc. Have them pay first before dropping anything. If they try to pick up their payment again, close the session using the - button and force them out.

I was not aware of this but Piffle was my Town. now that I have my own Island, its Clow~ that image is my New Leaf map. I was waiting to upload a NH map once my villagers were all moved in and moved around... soon.

Nope, his boat is 100% off limits that first time. you will need have to wait. I tried all night..
