sign just logged in and found nothing, no skin tine, eye colors. It did update too.

You need to be in October for things to start happening, so you can either time travel to October 1st or just wait since it's almost here anyway.

i don't think it's been mentioned yet but if you're looking for a specific pumpkin color, you can plant a harvested pumpkin for that specific color (might need some confirmation, but it has worked reliably so far)

edit: that being said i planted 200 pumpkins so if a color eludes you hmu, i'm certain some dataminer will find the exact stats but the "rare" colors seem to be about 1/4 chance? i prefer all the default colors though so i have no use for anything but orange pumpkins

I am back from work and just got on the game. Is there anything I should do first? how do I unlock DIYs and how many can I unlock a day ?

I have just tt to tomorrow and got a couple of pumpkins and only 1 DIY from a villager. How else do you get DIYs?

Looks like some awesome stuff coming. Looking forward to October so I can start collecting things.

from what i’ve read, you can obtain the diys through villager crafting, the daily message in a bottle and balloons

Thanks for this! I’ve been looking all over for a list of the new clothing so I can plan what I want each of my characters costumes to be.

Haven't seen anyone talk about this but: Do the pumpkins need to be planted in dirt, or has anyone just planted them on the grass as well? All the 'pumpkin patch' preparations I saw included dirt... I'd much prefer it if I could drop them on the grass but I'd rather not waste a day of growth

I’ve seen people on Twitter plant them on grass. I haven’t tried it myself though as I prefer the dirt garden look.

I learned that I have to wait until October 1st

Oh is it? I thought can play today. I didn't get the time to update yet due to work.

 

[N a t]

Even though I have to wait until tomorrow, there's like fog on the rivers in my town or something..

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

Hehehe 3/4 of my island is dirt so I can’t really say anything about pumpkin starts in grass

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

I have some amiibo cards. I can help a little.

Thanks so much for the concern . I’m okay now; still ticked but I’m hoping there will be more people that will post on their twitter page about it. instead of cataloguing, I can offer to order the posters for free of the amiibos or villagers that I do have.

That is really kind and sweet of the both of you. I think I'll live without having all the villager posters catalogued. However, I would definitely love to have the NPC posters because I will probably never ever be able to find those Amiibos -- I'd happily compensate with TBT/whatever else in-game you prefer that I can offer for your time and effort. ^-^

Is anyone getting really crusty fps after downloading the update?

I'm noticing a very visible stutter even when I'm indoors at Nooklings. I know outdoors areas on heavily decorated islands have fps problems but my island is far from heavily decorated and like I said, I'm having this problem even indoors.

It wasn't like this before the update and I'm low-key kinda worried about this?​

Have you had your switch on for a while? If it's still stuttering after fully turning it off and on again (not just sleep mode), I'd contact support about it.

Spoiler: idk if anyone else has posted this yet but...

you get the pumpkin head and purple robe from Jack on Halloween! I thought maybe it was in the shop but nope, it comes from Jack.

you also get the new emotions/reactions on Halloween. you have to give candy to Jack or a villager to get them. they were pretty easy to get.
