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

Question about the dreaded "Wuh-oh!"

When I get that, I usually try again right away, thinking that it sometimes takes awhile to get out of a conversation, or out of the dressing room, then if I get the Wuh-oh again I try to wait a minute assuming that I'm conflicting with someone else trying to enter that island, or exit it.

My question is whether or not it helps to completely leave the conversation, then input the dodo code again, or if waiting 'in' the conversation is just as good, like does being in that conversation interfere with the other people traveling? Am I making any sense?

Being in the conversation doesn't interfere with anyone, but as someone who's stopped people from coming in (because some people cough Saharah cough wouldn't shut up), waiting a minute might not help either. It just means everyone will have to wait while doing nothing until next time you try, and maybe if you wait a second too long the people in the island will think, "surely I'll have time to do X before that person tries again?" and you've got the same problem again.

yall when the game triggers the wedding event??

Your clock needs to be synchronized to the internet, and it has to be past May in whatever timezone it's set to. then you need to close and reopen the game (you might need to do it twice if you weren't synchronized before), and your game version in-game should show up as 1.2.1c. Then go to Harvey's island, as far as I've seen there's absolutely no way of knowing the event is going on without going there.

Ok, so does anyone know how many miles you get for flying? like, sometimes I'll get to my island and my miles go up but I never seem to catch the ammount and I'm just super curious

Either 800 or a random amount that can be 800.

It's been almost two months, and there hasn't been any shooting stars... I've been TTing night by night. Am I doing something wrong?

They can be pretty rare, and also very sparse. You'd have to TT hour by hour and stay at least five minutes to be slightly sure there weren't shooting stars. I've also been playing since game launch and never got a heavy shower, only a medium one once, and neither Isabelle nor my villagers ever mentioned anything.

Isabelle announces it and Harvey calls you ^^

Oooh that's what I get for time travelling lol

Terraforming for sure. It's also slightly easier to place paths. And we have less furniture.

I am holding on to a second console whilst we wait for Nintendo to update ACNH save data to a new console. Was considering finding out more about cycling, how does this work? I can’t find a guide for NH does one exist?

 

[Laurelinde]

I couldn't find this asked anywhere else so...

I'm trying to do the wedding event finally today and I've decorated the room and changed my clothes but I cannot seem to invite any other guests. The 'residents/villagers' tab of the storage is empty except for me even though my town is full, and I can't work out how to invite any Amiibo villagers with cards either (using Harv's instructions doesn't do anything except close the decoration window.) I suspect I'm being dippy...help??

When are we supposed to recieve the diy from Isabelle? Its first of June and haven't received any from her yet.

Possibly the next day, I hadn't gotten mine yet as well, it might show up tommorow.
The same thing happened to me with the cherry blossom picnic diy when I didn't get it on the first day of April, I got it the next day.

Can second accounts learn all the diy recipes? I have all the Celeste ones but wouldn't mind getting duplicates from her. Not sure if a second account would work!

 

[kolete]

I haven't seen Paula in a while, i've searched the entire island even other villagers homes, where she might be?

Yep! You'll even get an extra message in a bottle per day for every extra character, and each character can talk to a crafting villager for a copy of that DIY.

I haven't seen Paula in a while, i've searched the entire island even other villagers homes, where she might be?

Villagers can also be in the Nooklings' shop, the Able Sisters, or the museum. Have you checked there? If all else fails, if you save and exit out of the game and then come back, the villagers should be in different places, so hopefully Paula is somewhere easy to find.

Stitches recently moved into where Raymond's old house was but the house is still Raymond's. Is there a way to fix this without getting him to move?

 

[Laureline]

can we still buy things from villagers houses? Raymond is displaying an outfit I gave him and I‘d like it gone.

Stitches recently moved into where Raymond's old house was but the house is still Raymond's. Is there a way to fix this without getting him to move?

Unfortunately, no. There's no fix beyond moving Stitches out or hoping that a patch to fix the glitch can also fix already-glitched houses.

This bug is caused with camper forced move-outs by missing the "plot sold" day. Either TTing backwards, TTing forwards multiple days at once, or just playing naturally but not loading the save can all cause the glitch.

I don't think that we can buy things from villager's houses anymore. I haven't been able to, and I haven't heard of anyone able to do so. Here's a complicated guide on villager furniture that might help in getting rid of that outfit.

I apologize ahead of time if this isn’t where this question would go!
I’m searching for an item I’ve seen others have, I thought it was just the regular ‘book’ but it isn’t?

The item I’m looking for is an open book with pictures in it?

I wanted it placed at my picnic area but I just can’t seem to locate the name of it? Any help would be appreciated!

That’s actually the book! But there are several variations of it, some with pictures, some with text (for example the encyclopedia one has butterfly pictures, but the item is still named book)

One of my first villager, Stitches has the default starting interior. I want his actual interior.
If I have a friend take him temporarily and have him move back into my island, will he remember me? :c

 

[Red Cat]

Without giving away spoilers about the wedding day event, is it another one day event that I can do any time over the next two weeks or is there a new reward for participating each day?

 

[witchlapis]
