Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[meggiewes]

Wow, really?? So say if you don’t play the game for six months or so, all your villagers will still be there and none will have moved? I really hope that’s the case!! Villagers moving was so scary in New Leaf and all the previous games...

Yep! Everyone will still be there in New Horizons.

i refuse
i'll probably use it to decorate outside my museum, actually. i did know about the garbage trick, though, thank you

How can you place it outside?

i learned that there's a limit to the music players that can play music outside. I wanted to fill my whole island with a certain song that would really complete my island but nope, there's a limit. I started to wonder why the heck some of my music players stopped playing and i came to a theory that there's a limit. i started to test it out and. sure as heck, i was right. I started by playing music on all my music players and when i was done, i noticed the players that i touched at the start stopped playing and the only players left playing are those i touched in the middle and later part of the experiment.

How many music players did you have out? ....asking for a friend

How can you place it outside?

like any other object; you just open your inventory and place it down

 

[GnarlyGarden]

like any other object; you just open your inventory and place it down

I’ve done that with statues, but never thought to try with art.

 

[GnarlyGarden]

TIL that if a friend is visiting, you can’t hit/collect from rocks.

Today I learned that you could change the volume on music players by pressing plus or minus.

Today I learnt that the recycling bin can store than just 2 lines (20) of items there!!! I was always hesitant to clear furniture up because I thought if the recycling bin was full (too lazy to empty it lol), it would delete your items, but nope!

 

[Lullaboid]

You can give a villager a tree for their birthday.

Look at him, he loves it.

Tom Nook gives you money back if you end up not wanting to move a house! I always reset when I realised I picked the wrong villager, and was disheartened when I thought I lost 50K today because I didn't realise and reset on time lol, but he's not as greedy as I thought he was

 

[Plainbluetees]

Today I learned that the fancy item slot in the upgraded Nooks Cranny has a golden price tag on it, I suppose to indicate that it can cost hundreds of thousands of bells.

Today i learnt that leif also sells pumpkin starts in Nov, i thought that was a october exclusive item. I guess this is to prepare players for Turkey Day which makes sense (and I appreciate because i realized i don't have white pumpkins!)

Early this morning I learned that when you bang your shovel against certain instruments they make unique sounds

I learned this by banging my shovel against a saxophone by complete accident. It made such a sad sound lol I was so surprised when it happened. So far I've only done it on drums, a saxophone and I think a guitar. I should put out my grand pianos and see what sound they make.

If you're in the camera app you're actually not limited to the 8 reactions on your reaction wheel, you can still press Y to open the full menu or even X to swap the ones in the wheel.

Always thought we could only use the 8 favourites there because it didn't tell me those two buttons were an option...

 

[thatawkwardkid]

This is probably suuuper old and well known but I just found out you can fish from this angle.

Today I learned that golden trout has two rounds of being out. I knew they were out from March through June. But I didn't know they were also out from September through November until I watched Mayor Mori's video earlier today (it was telling us what creatures are going away when November ends). So I sought out, did some grinding, and caught one shortly after having dinner. I am really happy, guys. I thought I'd have to wait until March, but nope!

Now, tomorrow I am gonna try to grind for the neon tetra and guppy. If I can catch a golden trout, these two should be a piece of cake.
(provided that the bitterlings don't take over the river. -_-)

As for the bugs going away after this month, I am missing the flea, but I think I will just wait until it comes back in April. Since I just restarted my island almost two weeks ago, I only have six villagers, making it more rare for them to spawn. Anyway, I digress. Sorry for the tangent. XD

I learned that the skulls of fossils will open/close and somewhat move position when clicked on. When u have placed them outside somewhere

 

[Ananas Dragon]

Furniture in nooks cranny is color locked

 

[Aniras]

TIL that villagers can gift you Sahara's rugs in the mail.

And later, the same thing happens with the blue marlin. And yes, I sought out and successfully caught it.
