Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Dunquixote]

Today I learned that you can put items on top of the trophy case. i was trying to drop some socks on the floor to see what color a friend sent me so i can take it off my wish list and instead of going on the floor, they went on the trophy case.

Okay so this was actually yesterday night but I learned that when making custom designs, L+R is an eyedropper tool and lemme just say this is huge >,< No more scrolling through like 10 colors to get the one I want- Also, figuring this out was 100% by accident, idk why I wasn't observant enough to see it on the top right of the screen;; Time to make a ton of custom designs just because LOL

This should probably be on the rant thread, but WHY can’t there be some text that tells us what color something is as a modifier to the item name.

Technically a few days ago now, but I've had this game since a week after it was released and I just learned you can go right in the tool cabinet at Nook's, and buy wallpaper and flooring. I thought you could only get them from Sahara!

On the GC weren't they out on the floor and Nook would put up the ones you wanted to see? I forget exactly, but I tried clicking in the left section of the shop when I first got NH and finally had defeatedly accepted there was no ordinary wallpaper/flooring, only Sahara's.

So happy that's not the case!

Today on Animal Crossing New Horizons, I learned that if you put a stereo near villagers who are singing, they will sing along with whatever you put on. This makes my heart so happy! ❤
*Poppy and Fang singing together is so cute omg*​

TIL
- you can't do a scooch between furnitures when the camera app's open
- in dreams you can use the timestamp photo frames in the camera app to find out what time they uploaded their dream
- if you upload your dream on Halloween night, the island shows normal colored clouds instead of purple, music is normal hourly music and there is no Jack or costumes to be seen, but you still have the constant wind

TIL when you’re in a tent during a rainstorm there’s a very pleasant rain-on-tarp noise as background sound. I love the sound design in this game!

TIL the tree's bounty lamp is customizable! I don't think I've ever seen the white tree's bounty lamp in DAs I've visited before, so this is a lovely surprise.
Also you can't go up the 4th level (or 3rd-tier cliff). Imagine my disappointment when I wanted to put something up there but was told I couldn't go any higher because it was "dangerous" Why so? People climb mountains! jk yea i know it's game limits and stuff but kjdslfk man im bummed

I just found out that you can catch the harder to obtained fish by slowly sneaking up on them. I always used to rush in and waste time cornering them.

You can also put things on the vending machines from the nook terminal, found out by placing a flower by accident. I left it there cause its nice looking.

They also sing at microphones placed near music players. K. K METAL for life.

Last night I found out you can place bridges diagonally, it had never occurred to me to try!

 

[SandiBeaches]

Today I learned that tools break in dreams. I left a shovel out in my dream to allow players to dig up buried items for a game I set up and someone just informed me the shovel broke and didn't manage to finish digging

TIL That villagers also sing at microphones...time to build a stage for them!

I learned how you can speed up the crafting process by spamming "A". It definitely helps when crafting lots!

 

[Masenkochick]

Today, I learned that once you find a tree that drops an acorn or pine cone, you can keep shaking that tree and it will continue to drop pine cones and acorns. (You just need to pick up the sticks and acorns/pine cones that drop around it to make room for the new drops). I thought each tree only dropped one pine cone or acorn per day!

Also, just like in New Leaf, the Nookling store has a special song (the best relaxing music) 10 minutes before closing!!!!

There are little aquatic arthropod lobster things inside the Venus Flower Basket and they move around a little after you pull it from the water. I never knew this but that might be because I usually play handheld, so it's even harder to see them then They're also visible in the museum:

Still doesn't explain why they're so fast, though...

@Mick oh my gosh! i would have never seen this on my little switch lite screen; thank you for sharing! o:

 

[Watchingthetreetops]

so Mr Resetti is the operator in the helicopter. He can also leave reviews on your island.

 

[Rosch]

I just found out that when you stand in the middle of all the sculptures in the art gallery, the camera shifts to a beautiful diagonal angle.

I learned that you can rotate the preview image for DIYs on the crafting screen.
