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

[Hesper]

can u not customize store-bought items?? i feel like something like that was mentioned during the customization class, but much like irl school i did not listen

Some can be, but most can't.

 

[piske]

you can sell them or trade here on the forums, sell them in-game, or just toss 'em.

Thank you!

I’m getting the game soon, and was wondering. Is it possible to adopt islanders from other people’s islands? Like how it was in new leaf?

I don’t know really anything about new horizons. Didn’t think I would ever get to play it. So forgive me if that’s a silly question.

you can adopt someone who is moving out/in boxes, but you can't adopt from other people's campsites

does anyone know the size of the villagers' plots?

 

[Noctis]

villagers move out the day after they tell you

Thank you! You were right! It was killing me that I went ahead and TTed and Isabelle made the annoucement they were leaving. I'm going to confirm this for anyone that needs it.

Yes, but be careful who you adopt from. There is currently a bug involving adopting villagers from other players. This thread over in Nook's Cranny has more information. Basically if the person you're adopting from isn't careful, they can cause your game to glitch.

Right now there's a glitch if you adopt villagers from other towns/islands but only if they come apparently over amiibo. If its a villager that they got via invited them from the campsite, random island or random move in you should be fine.

When ordering from Nook, can you choose which variant you get if you have multiple or does it defaults to your island's native variant?

 

[Laureline]

Oh jeez that sounds like a horrible bug, thanks for the information!

 

[saramew]

Does anyone know how soon villagers can start moving out?
I'll be testing this myself, but if anyone knows.. if I scan an amiibo while all my house plots are full (not 10 villagers), will it still prompt me to kick another?

edit: doesn't look like I can convince my amiibo camper to come in and push another out (at 7 animals).

Can you grow non-native perfect fruit in your town? I know this wasn’t the case in ACNL but I’m reeeallly hoping this has changed or I’m stuck with perfect oranges now

you have to invite them 03 times to your campsite before they agree to move in ):

If you have multiple variants unlocked, there is an option in the bottom left corner to switch between the colors you have available.

As far as I know, no one has found perfect fruit at all in the game yet.

 

[Luna Moonbug]

how do you save when visiting a friend?

 

[Laureline]

Closing the game while choosing a map, won’t lock me into a map right? I’m definitely a map resetting person, so I’d like to know up until when in the process I can still do it.

You can reset up until you name the island.

Has anyone figured out how bamboos make bamboo sprouts?

 

[CanonMan6]

So I have just been casually playing but have two questions:

1) Can you learn how to make wreaths out of flowers that are not native to your Island? Or do you have to trade with friends for the other wreaths?

2) After inviting 3 villagers to move in, only one has, and T.N. wont acknowledge that all three plots have been placed and that their respective items are delivered. Is this a glitch or do I need to hunt for new villagers on other islands and invite them to mine? It has been a day since the first villager has moved in and about 2-3 since i invited the last one to move in.

If these have been asked before i apologize!!

You need to get the bamboo shoots. Those are the plantable part. When the bamboo is fully grown, a bamboo shoot can randomly appear in a spot on the ground near them each day. The shoot will make a star spot on the ground, like fossils do.

Everyday? Man, I've been really unlucky then, I have at least 05 fully grown bamboos in my town and so far no bamboo shoots. ):
