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

[Maynlavigne]

1. In this thread, someone said the void can't be cleared. Not sure how it is with the most recent update.
2. You have to have a free plot to invite someone from a NMT/mystery island. The move-in mechanic isn't like the campsite.
3. Villagers won't leave unless you allow it. However, be very careful because you cannot change their mind once you say they can go.

ahhh thank you so much!!!! C:

out of curiosity ( and to rub it in past me's face ) : if you wish on somebody else's meteor shower, go back to your island and tt to the next day, will no star fragments show up in your island?

i think star fragments should show up? i don’t see why they wouldn’t

I am building a house for a villager and i placed the items needed for the house near the building plot, it only checked few items, i have all of them but i can't build a house because it doesn't recognize the items.

(sorry, my english is not very good!)

Hey! My azalea bushes are not blooming, despite it being May 8th 2020 in the northern hemisphere? What is going on?

Hiya! I’ve finally saved up for New Horizons and my order should be arriving next week Is there anything i should know to do the first day? Also, any tips for decorating my island? In new leaf i never made my town pretty because i didn’t know where to start, but i want to change that when i get acnh. Also I want to post photos on my animal crossing instagram but i feel like my town will be really bad compared to other accounts because it’ll be newer. Any advice is welcome

The game does a pretty solid job of explaining everything to you day by day, so I wouldn't worry too much about it! I'd recommend collecting as many materials as you can, though - they'll come in handy in the future
As for decorating your island - we all start somewhere. Try not to overanalyse your island and compare it to others because it will really affect the enjoyment you get out of the game. I've reset 3 times and I'm finally happy with my island. I stopped TTing and slowed down a little bit so I could enjoy the game day by day, and I've been focusing on certain areas of my island each day as well.

Everybody has different ways of playing/decorating so the main advice I can give is just to have fun and don't compare your progress ♡

wooden block table is a different table! it's this one: https://gamewith.net/animal-crossing-new-horizons/article/show/17188

Oh I figured it out, I needed it su sumbit, not to place near the plot! Oh my bad!

That's weird, they do show up. Although there's a max of 20 fragments.

Don't close the shiny holes, bury 10k in them instead. As for decorating, I recommend planning it ahead on Happy Island Designer. Do keep in mind any cliffs need stable ground in all directions, just like planting a tree. Also, if you have a 2x2 square of cliffs, you can only round two corners in a diagonal.

Resident services (the plaza) can't be moved, and neither can the pier (tiny strip of wood out in the sea) or river mouths. Most people like having resident services lined up with the airport, so if that's something you'd care about, feel free to save strat when you get to the island selection screen.

Save your nook miles for Nook Mile Tickets! Only spend them on things you've researched and decided were worth it: hairstyles/colors you actually will use, your loan, and inventory/tool enhancements.

Use your Nook Miles Tickets at night. There are no islands that are only useful during the day, and two that are REALLY profitable during the night.

In ACNL, balloons were pretty much useless, or at the very least safe to ignore. That is not the case with ACNH. Pop down every single balloon you hear.

You have to expand your house A LOT to finally get the option to relocate it. Put it somewhere you won't regret in the next week or so.

(sorry, my english is not very good!)

Those items listed in the screenshot are interior items. You need to put them in the box (the green thing with 2 on it)

Is it normal that if you have 9 villagers and one plot free that another villager ask you to move away even if the free spot is not sold to another villager yet? Marshal moved out from my island, I tt a bit, his old spot is (still) free and another villager (the 9th) just asked me to move (I said no however). Just a bit confused right now...

Like clothing will villagers put back on hats that you give them?

Because if that's the case everyone is getting a halo.

 

[MarkySharky]

Is there a definitive way of getting a villager to move out?

 

[Saah]

Yes! Completely normal.

They will! I'm not sure if halos work, but other hats do!

Is there a definitive way of getting a villager to move out?

Yes, use an amiibo.

 

[MarkySharky]

Other than that?

Yes, use an amiibo.

Is there any data on dialogue regarding island visitors? Like, if someone visited my island, will the villagers forget them after a while or is that person forever added to the pool of dialogue? And if there's a timeframe, about how long is it?
