Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Rubombee]

Thanks to the wedding event, I accidentally learned that, at Harv's:
- you can customize items you already put down by hovering over them and pressing X
- you can duplicate items you've already put down (customization included) by hovering over them and pressing ZR!!

Both of the (especially the latter) were sooo useful

You can’t gift a bug to a villager if hasn’t been donated to museum yet.

*gasp* I tried give my lazy a firefly xD

 

[Pendragon1980]

I found out if you get attacked by wasps in a villager is close by they will react in a panic with you.

 

[ShimSham]

I found out that you can get More than 10k from money tree bags

 

[lilis]

I found out if villagers has fleas and you didn't catch them, talk to them and they'll say "itch itch" instead of their normal catchphrase xD

 

[Romaki]

Today I learned that when you reset the campground move-in game the villager will always have the same card, even if the game changes.

 

[FishHead]

I learned that I can choose whether to display the corner map or not. Simply by opening the map app and pressing x.

 

[DeltaLoraine]

I just learned that "Nook's Cranny" is play on the phrase "searching every nook and cranny"... and it blew my mind, because I've played New Leaf, City Folk, and now New Horizons....and I didn't get the joke until now.... BIG oof

i learned the hard way yesterday that you can't slightly move buildings, 50k bells down the drain

Omg I learned that the hard way too. Easily hundreds of thousands of bells gone just moving things over and back one or two spaces apart

 

[stiney]

Today I learned you can’t pluck Jacob’s Ladders.

The sound effect when you use the vaulting pole differs ever so slightly depending on how far you go over. If you vault over a small pond for example, the sound will last slightly shorter. When vaulting over a river, the sound will last slightly longer and the pitch of the noise slightly goes up. You need to hear very closely to be able to tell the difference. I like it when you observe the sounds in this game!

Yeah. I thought I'd be able to move buildings one space to the left/'right/back/forward, and nope.

50k to move it temporarily, then 50k to move it where you want, and possibly more if you get it one space wrong and it autosaves.

Autosave has cost me over two million bells.

When you're looking at the crafting menu it has a little box icon next to recipes you have the materials for in your storage

I ALSO LEARNED THIS -- I didn't know what those numbers were and I just really looked at what the recipes were so that I could build something LOL

 

[sunchild]

you can duplicate items while you're in that decorating mode (what IS the proper name for it?) by pressing ZR. For 2 days while I was doing the wedding event, I went in to customize every individual item when I could've just pressed a button to do it if I just paid attention to the shortcuts on the screen *facepalm*

 

[melco]

Villagers can ping you from a different level! They just wait at the edge instead of running to you.

And if you're trying to catch a bug on a tree, even if there's a fence right in front of it you can still catch them right over it.

Reminds me that not today but a week ago I found out you can fish over certain types of fencing.

 

[Red Cat]

I learned the museum has two red snappers in the tank. I could only find one of all of the other fish I have so far except for things like sea butterflies and anchovies where there are many, but for some reason there are two red snappers.

In other fish related news, it just dawned on me recently that the barbel steed is missing in NH. I don't miss it, but it's odd that it didn't make the cut when it's been in every previous game.

 

[kiwikenobi]

I learned to take the extra couple minutes to let the game load a new day before updating the Switch so that you don't lose the last thing you did before you put the Switch to sleep the night before, rather than just trusting that an autosave happened after you did everything important. (Now I probably have to wait weeks for Flick to come back to get my firefly model...)

Also I learned if you drop a wand while you're wearing a wand outfit, the wand outfit will poof off of you, so you can't get stuck in a wand outfit and unable to change clothes.
