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

[Christopia]

So ever since I started the game, I've consistently gotten 3 wasps, 1 furniture, and a bunch of bells from my trees.

Today, I learned that it's supposed to be 5 wasps and 2 furniture?

What gives?

I have a lot of non-fruit trees - 20+ - and I methodically shake my trees, so I really don't think it's that. And in case it's relevant, I also don't time travel.

Shake the pine trees as well. I just learned this recently and now find 2 items in trees everyday. You can skip shaking trees with fruit or money on them. They won’t have items.

It’ll be their regular house interior, not the starter one.

Awesome to hear! Her apple house is adorable. My friend will be happy with this news. Thank you!!

I've been shaking the pine trees as well, but without any additional results. Do I need to re-shake trees and is there a way to know if a tree will drop bells?

No need to reshake the trees. I’m sure you’re careful not to skip any trees so it’s odd you’re not getting 2 items. I read that you get 10 trees with bells, 5 with wasps, and 2 with furniture so I’ve seen many people only have 17 hardwood trees to make shaking trees easier. Maybe give that a try. To be honest, I’ve never received very good items from trees (better ones are in balloons) so I’ll probably give them a break. I’m sure the woods will appreciate it.

Okay thanks!

I'll go count my trees and give it a try and report back.

if i save over a QR that is on my custom phone case, will it change the design on the phone?

What's the best way to deal with a bad online guest? In the moment I mean.

Nothing bad has happened to me yet, not on my own island anyway, though I have lost a diy when someone else minused out on the group of us, teach me not to 'learn' a diy right away...

The question came to mind because I took a chance on letting in someone who was new, with no feedback. As I said, nothing bad happened, they were perfectly lovely, but I wondered what would have been the best way to end the session if things had gone badly?

I'm assuming I should use the minus button myself? Or is there another way?

Sorry for rambling on, thanks for reading.

can you kill trees in Horizons? in New Leaf they had it where you could pull a fruit trees fruit off of it everyday for *i think* 3 days and the tree would die and leave a really cool dead tree *halloween lol*

It was only perfect fruit trees that would die, and they’re no longer in NH so I don’t think so I really hope perfect fruit comes back though.

I have a Wisp question. I wonder if anyone can help me?

When Wisp offers you a furniture item and you choose the option for furniture you don't have yet (something new), can you potentially get a variation you don't have? Say I have a red fireplace, but none of the others, is there a possibility Wisp could give me a brown, white, or beige fireplace? Has anyone seen evidence of anything like this?

I suspect this isn't how it works, but I would love being able to get alt colors from Wisp

Thank you in advance for any responses!

Pretty sure he can do that.

NH's not as smart with tree drops as NL. If you have anything on the ground around a tree on the opposite side of the one you shake, nothing will drop, including wasps. I have a street lined by trees that are surrounded by flowers... If I shake the trees from the street, nothing drops. I have to walk on my flowers and shake them to get anything to drop.

Don't use the minus button, it saves. Put your Switch in sleep mode instead so it drops the connection. Unfortunately some things won't be saved, and I had a visitor lose their DIY from Celeste (and their chance to get a new one from her!) from quitting that way when I got a thief at the same time, but there's no way around it.

Does anyone know how you can get rid of unoriginal furniture or clothes? I've been giving my villagers gifts everyday to increase friendship points and get their pics but I regret giving them some of the items I've given them now because they don't match their houses.

 

[graciemayy]

I know you’re supposed to collect resources each day, getting wood from trees and hitting rocks. does this include getting all the sticks form every tree? it seems to get quite boring lol

I don't think there's a limit on these, if you keep shaking the trees more will fall! So I don't think you need to do it regularly unless you want to or are getting short of sticks

You'll have to cycle them out, no way around it! In the future, giving them wall-mounted furniture or edible things like fruit is a good way to raise their friendships without any aesthetic changes!

No, it won't. The DIY Workbench fails to mention this about the Phone Case. The only patterns that will update are the ones on your furniture.

OK... here's something i've been wondering... how do people get their villagers to interact with musical instruments??!? for the longest time i've had a guitar and drums set up beside my plaza with speakers playing music but no one will even touch them! they'll only ever stand there and sing - am i just unlucky? i just want to see my lil guys bang out the tunes

can you have instruments + music set up anywhere for them to play the songs, or does it have to be near the plaza? does it have to be IN FRONT of the plaza specifically? and if it does what does that mean for those of us who have our plazas right in front of our airports?

Unfortunately you have to cycle those out OR you can send them off to a trusted friend and pick them back up, resetting a bunch of stuff including their house decor. Amiiboing them out and them Amiiboing them back in is also another way, yet more expensive if you don't have their cards.

As someone else had mentioned, best bet is to gift wrapped rare fruits as that will help boost friendship without much changes and you can have a good supply of foreign fruits even if you have a small orchard.

Has anyone figured out a way to arrest a tree’s development? I thought I’d be smart and let it grow a day and move it next to another tree, but I forgot the game won’t let you even do that.

I saw people talking about this yesterday on Reddit. Basically you can bury a non-coconut fruit in an adjacent tile to the tree you want to stunt (preferably the tile right behind the tree so you can't see that something's buried there). The fruit can't grow into a tree, and your tree can't grow anymore because it has something adjacent to it. Once you move the fruit the tree will grow like normal again though.

Thanks! I’m going to give that a try.

I started playing acnh on my bfs switch so when I got my own switch I had to start over. The account and island is still on my bfs switch so will it mess up my new island on my switch if I use the old island on my bfs switch? Probably a dumb question lol but the items I got from pocket camp are on that one and I wanted to use the sign on my new island.
