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

[Khaelis]

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.

There are some sites like nookplaza.net that have New Horizons stuff, but I don't know how much information it had on obtaining things and when.

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:

You can customize it to other colours.

You can customize it to other colours.

omg... thank you

Can rocks spawn near fences?

 

[Saah]

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?

The only lingering effect is the fact that you'll get a new hairstyle if you TT more than 30 days. Also, I'm not sure about that but I think you'll lose friendship with your villagers. Other than that, you can get rid of all effects the day you stop travelling.

Can rocks spawn near fences?

I don't think I've ever seen reports of one spawning near a fence, but do keep in mind that if a rock has no proper place to spawn it won't care about any rules. Still, the best way of controlling rock respawns is by placing custom designs over your entire island except for the tile you want them to spawn in, and the tiles immeditatelly next to existing rocks (so fossils and weeds can still spawn).

I've been playing daily since launch, and I've only had one villager (Naomi) ask to move out. It's been a little over 3 weeks since Naomi moved, and all of my villagers' thought bubbles are only about my nickname or giving me an item. Apparently villagers should ask to move about twice a month, but its almost been a month and still nothing! Has this happened to anyone else?

I got torn pants in the recycle bin. I noticed it's not orderable. Is this like the sloppy and cardboard sets from the older games? Just something you can only get from the recycle bin randomly?

 

[CrestFallen]

Is there a way to hold villagers without a specified date?

I’m not a time traveler so whenever a plot opens I have very little time to get the villagers I want. I know who specifically I want but some of the less popular ones like Anabelle and Antonio rarely seem to go up on the neighbor network.

With this in mind, is there a way I can buy/auction a village off someone and have them hold it for me until a plot opens?

Has anyone figured out what determines our native flower? I've recently restarted the game and trying to get my ideal island, I noticed my native flowers (the ones you can see at the top of the cliffs) were only mums, cosmos or lillies. I haven't seen any other type of flower while restarting. Coincidence or something else?

 

[MonkParty]

nvm

This may sound stupid. But, I'm new to Animal Crossing. My question is "What are dreamies?" Are they the really cute villagers? Like Judy etc?

dreamies are villagers that you'd like to have in your town! If i say my dreamies are sherb and molly, it means that those are the villagers i want to get/already have (in some cases)

I've been doing some research on this myself using a google form! I just need to sort out all the entries. Im not sure if anyone else has determined this yet though

Yes, there are lot of unorderable items that comes in the recycle bin and from the balloons like the mobile library

Dreamies are referred the villagers you want in your town.

Ok! I don't really know enough of the Villagers to have a Dreamie yet. Guess I can go look up all the different ones. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

You can if they're time travellers. They'll hold onto your villager until you have an open plot, and then TT and save strat until your villager asks to move out.

Can villagers ping to move out while there's a visitor staying at the campsite? Thanks!

They can, I've had it happen to me.

How many Dreamies do people usually have? There's so many cute ones! Also there's WAY more villagers then I thought. Lol

 

[ksuppp]

Will flowers grow on spaces with designs on the ground? I placed clover designs inbetween all my flower X patterns but... I think that may have been a mistake.
