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

[duckvely]

Thank you!

New question:

I just got a nintendo online subscription. How can I add content (such as people's custom designs and such) onto NH?

How about trading/visiting other players?

For adding custom designs, you need to download the Switch Online app on your phone. Once you link your Nintendo account, there will be an option to scan a QR code for a custom design. Then you open the Custom Design app on the Nookphone and press + to download the design

As for playing with other people, you can go to the airport

Found the answer to my own question about hybrid flower crowns, and yes, they are separate recipes. Posting it here in case anyone besides me wanted to know. c:

How often does Flick come to town? Is it once a week on a random day, or just randomly?

Just so that I don't flood my island with tarantulas waiting for him to come if he comes rarely!

Can you use the fruit stamina to dig up bamboo trees? I don't want to plant all my shoots randomly and not be able to move them later.

 

[RoyalSavant]

Yea you can

Does a flower need to receive water to bloom again, after you picked the bulbs?

 

[Saga]

Nope, no watering necessary!

A question for those who are TT'ing: Do random villagers stop moving in after you get eight villagers like in New Leaf? Every time I buy a plot, someone I don't want moves in before I can take enough island trips to find a villager I like.

I am hoping that plots number 9 and 10 will be invite-only.

Can you scan QR codes into the app on your phone without being on the game at the same time?

I had a 10th villager move out of my island. Within two days, a random moved in to her plot, so randos will still move in, even if you don't invite them.

Restore sold items

Is it possible to restore items accidentally sold? if so, how?

If i were to sell a furniture from the nook´s cranny and accidentally sold it, will it be available to buy again when the store resets another day?

Any furniture you bought from Nook's Cranny and sold you can re-order through the catalog in the resident services, and it will be mailed to you the next day.

But things like fruit, flowers, materials, you cannot 'restore' in any form. Just things like clothing or furniture.

Can you scan QR codes into the app on your phone without being on the game at the same time?

You can scan one QR code that will stay on the phone app, but the next QR code you scan will overwrite that one. So you need to download the QR code design in the game first before scanning another QR code. The best thing to do to download multiple designs is to have the game open so that you can scan the QR code, download it into the game, and repeat the process.

How do you get the Sanario posters? The Hello Kitty ones? I tried scanning the Amiibo cards on Harv's island but it says they can't come.

After I get my rec center up can I look for villagers on island tours without a plot of land down? I want to be able to search for a specific villager but not have the plot taken by a random one.

 

[Momonoki]

A few friends and I realized that the items that you can buy through the Nook Mile Service differ in colour on our islands. For example, my drink machine is pink, one of theirs is blue, and the other one's white. Is there a guide showing all the options somewhere?

Just as I posted this, a thread on the topic was opened. See here!

unfortunately, i don't think so. you need a plot down to see villagers and invite them

How do you round the corners of paths?

 

[Snowesque]

If I am unable to fast-craft (by pressing "A" at least twice), why would that be?

Edit: Seems the issue was that fast-crafting is not available in an older version.
Now that it is update, it works just fine.

I wished on a star last night and instead of getting a letter from wishy I'm finding star fragments on the beach, what do I do with them lol ?

A couple questions:

1. Do the DIY recipes and purchasable furniture (such as the lighthouse or the solar panel) from Nook Stop change daily? (I ask because one of the first fence recipes I got is no longer accessible to generate even though I never redeemed the recipe)

2. If you put a villager on the second or third tier of the island, will they use a ladder to get down or will they be sequestered there until you put in ramps and/or staircases?

3. What are the requirements to unlock the Island Designer app?

4. Does K.K. Slider only play on Saturdays like in past games or does he randomly show up now? (I just got my Resident Services building today and already set up the campsite plot to start the process of unlocking him)
