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

You paid off the miles, but did you ask Nook to build you a house?


I wish! But sadly no, although when you place shoes or hats on the wall they show up on a shelf.
Yeah I already have my third house in the game
 
Just wanted to confirm something. I got a capmer right now and 9 islanders. She agreed to move in but says she wants a plot. Does this mean i only have the option to place my 10th plot and she wont suggest replacing someone else no matter what? I asked her a few times and she gives me that same answer so far, but i want to know if she can change her mind later.
 
How does everyone get so many NMT? Why is it a currency for trading now? Like literally how do you get so many?? Do you just save up the miles or..?
You can play with sub characters and get more NMT. Lot of people are looking for dreamies on the mystery island and that's why they need lot of NMT.

I have a few questions: what makes items appear in the recycling bin? Is it just building things like bridges? And how do you get rusted parts other than finding them in the recycling bin? Or is that the only way? And do the rusted parts only have the one use:
making the robot hero
or are there others?
It usually appears the day after Gulliver appears for me. Sadly, I think they only appear in recycling bin unless someone else can confirm this. For now I think the only usage is RH
 
Hello! I attempted searching for this, but it's so specific that I could not find it. My kid has a villager Amiibo card for who she wants to move into her 10th plot, which she has not placed down yet.

Do Amiibo villagers always follow the 3 day process and then they ask to boot an existing villager? Can she place the plot on the 3rd day and the Amiibo villager will ask to move there? If she places the plot on day 1, will the Amiibo villager take it right away?

Thanks!! We just don't want to mess it up..... she painstakingly made a whole area just for this favorite villager!!

She will want to wait until the 3rd day to put up the plot. If she puts it down too early, then either a pure RNG villager or perhaps a villager from the void (if she has done online play with other islands) can move in.

She's technically safe since she can just choose any villager to move out on that 3rd day, but if she doesn't want to do that, just waiting until the final day to put down the plot is fine. You can basically wait until all of the camper's requests are completed before putting down the plot. Even if you talk to the camper, and they're like, "There's no room!" if you put down the plot afterwards, you can just talk to them again to have them move in.

So, I know there are ways to make villagers move out with time traveling. Could someone explain this to me in a message, or could I talk to someone about this? I;ve tried all the youtube videos; but I got nothing after 3 hours of trying. I really want .. literally all of my villagers except my 3 wolves gone. :')

I've spent whole days completing missions and got around 90 NMT in a month. Obviously the other ways of getting NMT are more efficient, but it is possible to get a lot just by saving.

  • Build things on top of an item
  • Have a villager move out
  • Have a villager move in
  • The day after Gulliver
  • Randomly at the beginning of a day, as long as there are less than 10 items inside
Random rates from the ACNH companion guide:

ItemsNo.Chance
Nothing--55%
Clay or iron nugget35%
Small Furniture (can be seasonal)15%
Clothing (can be seasonal)15%
Flower seed (native flowers)15%
Sapling or cedar sapling15%
Wallpaper or flooring15%
Trash item15%

As for the rusted parts, yes for both questions; you can only get them the day after Gulliver fixes his communicator, and they can only be used for that one DIY. As a side note, you can use ISPOILER instead of SPOILER for inline spoilers.

I have no idea why that's happening, then. If all your houses are upgraded, it might be a bug.

Campers will only kick out other villagers if there are ten villagers living on the island.

Talk to every single villager you have, TT forwards one month and one day, open the game, save and quit, TT backwards one month, open your game, RUN to the villager's house to see if they're there; if a villager other than the desired villager has a tought bubble, quit without saving; if the desired villager is in their house, quit without saving; if you find the villager outside and they don't have a tought bubble, quit without saving. TT one day forward, run to the villager's house, rinse and repeat. This is all from this guide, it seemed really well-explained when I read it, although I was lucky and the desired villager had a thought bubble as soon as I TT'd a month forwards.
 
Is it possible to have a day with no visitor?
Hopefully its possible... I'm afraid Redd was supposed to visit and the glitch happened to me (RIP)
 
Is it common to trade bugs, fish, fossils and art for bells when players visit other players' islands?

Unfortunately, you can't trade Bugs or Fish. You can definitely trade/sell Fossils and Art, though! Lots of people do that. If you want to keep to these forums, the Nook's Cranny board is where most people set up formal trades.

I'd imagine it's possible, but are you sure Saharah or Flick didn't spawn in a blind spot?

It's common to visit other players' islands to trade, it's less common to have a market in the island so visitors can drop by and trade whenever they're visiting for other reasons, it's weird to suddenly offer trades to a visitor you aren't close to.
Are villager photos (not posters) orderable from Nook Shopping?
Not according to nook.exchange.
 
Sorry if this is not the place to ask about what prices are fair for a villager, but I have a Marina I am eventually planning to move out, and I was gonna ask for 2.5M igb (to pay off my basement loan) but now I'm hearing she's actually common to come across on NMT islands, so I don't want to sell her like she's a hot commodity just because she's high tier. Would my asking price be fair or if not what should I shoot for in IGB, NOT NMT?

edit: nvm guess i'll just let people offer when she's in boxes lol

I sort of figured it out. One of my villagers said CJ is visiting but I don’t see him anywhere haha. Maybe he’s glitched.
 
The 4 or 5 lilies of the valley I now have all spawned around cedar trees. Do they only spawn around cedar trees? If so, just out of curiosity, how would they spawn if you had no cedar trees but a 5* rating?
 
Not sure if there's a guide or any answers, but does each personality have preferred gift types? I think lazy likes food more and jocks likes athletic items, but what about the other ones? Thanks!

You have to have a plot to enable that camper to move in and become your 10th islander.

If you don’t have it, that islander will let you know he/she cannot move in.

What you do next is go to Tom Nook. And you get another plot and take it to where you want it located.

After you do that, return to the camper. He/she can try again to get Tom Nook to allow him/her to move to your island. It will work.
