Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

Today I learned that you can build a third story on your island, but can't put stairs or anything on that layer -_-

Not so much a learning as it is something that's been on my mind.

I did some napkin math, and assuming that one campsite villager shows up per week on your island (and you invite them to live on your island), one resident asks to move out every two weeks, no time-traveling, and no Amiibo use, it will take just a bit over five years to have had all 391 current villagers live on your island at some point.

You'd also roughly need about 389 nook mile tickets at a good shot at finding the villager you want. (Give or take.)
 
Today I learned that you can invite villager on mysterious island even if you are not island representative!
 
Today I learned the barrel DIY can't be customized. I want to have a cargo area somewhere on my island so it's a shame you can only have one type of barrel.
 
I learned that the shower stall IS IN FACT in this game. Well now I know what I'm hunting for next.

I watched this earlier today and it seemed like it was obviously meant to be shared months ago (Probably around game launch time) and they held onto it and then spliced in the new NPCs from later updates in the final moments without any specific narration
 
Today I learned that if you get your first scallop of the day and your pockets are full, Pascal doesn’t show even if you swap the item out and keep the scallop. However you can still get him next time you catch a scallop without full pockets! Had a feeling this was the case, or similar, in NL but wasn’t sure in this game till now!

Also just read/remembered reading on here that you can get 14 branches to fall from a tree before picking them up, always thought it was max 8 but didn’t think of repositioning myself hahah

til that you can use the dreadful “baby’s hat” for the hood of a hoodie. you just make a custom design sweater in a matching color and it looks like your character has their hood up. it’s actually super cute!

That sounds interesting! I'll have to play around with that. 🤔

Thanks for sharing! 😊 That’s a really interesting idea; also, I am glad to know that I am not the only one that thought the hat was dreadful lol. I was using the ninja hood to serve as a hood with my ffx bahamut outfit, but the purple doesn’t match the design so, I’m a little interested in trying something else.

I learned in the last few days that the cartoonist’s set lights up (interactable) and so is the hourglass. I have been using mostly non interactive pieces of furniture and had not decorated my house at all until now, so, that’s why this “discovery” is pretty late lol.
 
I learned that I can get dragged into a song-writing rhyming match between two villagers!

Fuchsia was going to write a "punk" song and Rowan thought that she was going to write a song about him, the "hunk".

So Fuchsia invited both Rowan and I to create a song together and for me, one of the options I had was:

"Gotta make myself great!", "Get a new TV by freight!", "Find a lower mortgage rate!", and "Own my very own estate!"

I was so shocked I just couldn't stop laughing! :ROFLMAO:
 
I found out recently that Saharah still gives me tickets if I buy a rug more than one times, so I can get a free wallpaper and flooring each time. I am kinda slow lol... but better late than never to realize this :).

I usually only buy one of each rug.
 
Well more like I learned this a few weeks ago but..

I learned that you can stop a villager from fishing (I think when they are sitting too? I don't remember clearly) by bothering them three time. Don't have to wait for them to stop what they're doing to give them a present.

That's right! If a villager is sitting, you can bump into them to get them to stand up. :)
