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

If you give a villager an item and they put it in there house, is there a way you can take that same item out of their house? Or is it there until you replace it with another item of the same size? I remember in previous AC games you could check out furniture in a villager's house and they'd sometimes give you the item if you were interested in it.
 
I don’t know if this is answered or not, but can villagers display their door decorations? I’m thinking of giving villagers door decorations.
Yes. I've given a few door decorations and had them displayed. They should put what you give them up the next in-game day (and they'll tell you that)
 
Are the pocket camp furnitures a limited time event furnitures or are they gonna be in the game for a long time?
 
When you're terraforming that little bit of land that sticks out into the ocean, is there any way to get diagonals/rounded corners on the ocean side? I'm trying but it seems it won't let you make a diagonal cliff without having blocks next to it, but if I put those up, I can't reach the outside, and I can't seem to terraform standing on top. Is there a trick to it or does it just have to be a blunt end?

Edit: Also, do fish ever spawn naturally at the pier or do you have to use bait? I've sometimes seen fish alongside the pier by the airport but not really on the end of the one on its own.

Can't help with the terraforming but I have had one fish at the end of the pier without bait.
 
Can someone confirm if a previous update to the game fixed the moving glitch? To clarify, I mean the one where you invite someone to ask your villager in boxes to move to their island, and that villager was forced to move out via an amiibo camper.

If you're talking about the Amiibo-specific glitch that results in a blank name on the plot, that was patched weeks ago, in March.

If you're talking about the "Moved Out" glitch that affected all villager adoptions, that was hopefully patched in the most recent 1.2.0 update. The patch notes didn't specify the glitch, but there's been no reports of the glitch since then, so we can assume that it was fixed.

There are a few glitches that remain that can affect all campers (not just Amiibo), but they affect the island of the campsite and not adoptions of forced move outs. Stuff like the house exterior glitch, which can be caused by TTing backwards, TTing forwards and skipping days, or just not loading the save on the plot sold day. Or a glitch where, if two villagers are in boxes to move out at the same time, one may stay in boxes day after day until further action is taken.

Stupid question I know but if I visit my mom and connect my switch with her wifi will I be still able to visit other players islands ?

Thanks for the info!

I wasn't even aware of the second one. I usually don't deal with move outs where I'll help someone grab one of my departing villagers. I asked because I plan to have move out Marina for someone else and may try to ask around if anyone wants her if they can help with some bells and/or wishlist items.
 
1. if you restart your island (I've been thinking about it) is there any way to transfer bells/nmts to help you get going?

2. as Far as villager trading/buying , how do you know the other person won't rip you off?
 
I meant are they gonna be there forever or is there a date that they’re gonna stop the promotion? If anyone knows ;-;
There's no way to know, but the ACNL/HHD promotion was there forever, so I'd assume this will be the case for the NH/PC one.

It's impossible, I've tried everything I could. Sorry! Also, the fish spawning alongside the pier are still pier fish. They do spawn on the end, though.

1. Only by asking another player to hold them for you. Search for the ones with 100+ positive feedback.

2. It's hard. I've never seen anyone do this, but the surefire way would be to (discussing this beforehand because the in-game keyboard is awful) have the host and the visitor go together to the house of the villager in boxes, see that they really are in boxes, go outside, pay, and then the visitor can go back inside talk to the villager. That way the host gets paid before the visitor talks to the villager (so they can't just go home without paying), but the visitor also knows the villager is available to move and it'll be really hard for the host to kick them out without losing the payment, too.
 
Thank you... I thought of another.

I've never time travelled before but was thinking about doing it to kick out a couple villagers. When I'm completely done with this process and I have the ones I want out... can I go back to "normal" So to speak, and pretend like it never happened? Or will there be lingering negative effects from the TT?
 
Are clothes seasonally exclusive? For example, in New Leaf, the peacoat was only sold during wintertime at the Able Sisters. I'm wondering if they went that route with New Horizons.

It wouldn't surprise me, a lot of stuff in New Horizons is seasonal like flower seeds, etc (luckily Leif exists now...).

I wish the MoriDB website had a New Horizons update. I used to go to that site to look for things in New Leaf. It also provided the category of something as well as if something was in season, amongst other things.
 
So the star net....are we stuck to one color or am I just unlucky? Whenever my store has it, it's always the green one..been hoping to get literally any other color any time now D:
