Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[JKDOS]

This is probably a no brainer to most people, but I don’t play NH often to know that if you keep missing catching cherry blossom petals or snowflakes, they break.

Some rarer butterflies will fly away if you miss them too many times too.

Oh wow, I did not know that either. For some reason, I have a better time catching butterflies than fluttering seasonal objects, so I never noticed.

Today I learned that you can force Able Sisters to stay open longer if you keep the custom design portal open when it hits 9pm. Once it’s a few minutes after 9, you can close the portal and you’re still able to shop without Sable kicking you out. It will remain open until you leave the store. So you can make Sable and Mabel work overtime haha

I don't think Mable kicks you out either way. It's always been this way in AC games. Nook's Cranny kicks you out but the clothing store doesn't.

That you don't need to have an upgraded RS Plaza for Jingle to visit, though he just gives you a Toy Day Stocking as a present (and I guess his photo the next day).

Spoiler: Spoiler for Toy Day!

Today I learned that, when you receive gifts from your residents on Toy Day, they are toys that Nook's Cranny had been selling. More importantly, they are colour variations! Because I don't trade anymore, I am stoked to receive these. I think it's very thoughtful of Nintendo to give me a way to collect different colour variations of the toys.

On Toy day, I have learned that the villagers’ dialogue changes if you are wearing a Santa costume.

 

[Snek]

I learned that villager wake up times on Toy Day are different. Phoebe woke up at 7:40 and Stitches woke up at 7:55. I was able to finish the event at 8 am.

Well I have three characters in my island and I completed toy day with them all yesterday but only hung my stockings in my main house and forgot to hung them in my other characters house like Jingles told me to. Truly hope you guys listened to him and hung the stockings he gave you cause the next day if you click on the stockings you receive his framed photograph, you will not receive it via mail.

TIL that the antique clock has a rotating disk representing the sun and moon, day and night. So cool!

 

[John Wick]

Weeds THRIVE and spread, when planted on the beach!

I LOVE this.

I discovered this on Christmas day. You have to hang up the stocking that Jingle gives you ( not the one sold in the store) in order to get his picture.
I could be wrong on this, but two of my characters hung up Jingles stocking and got a photo. My other character didn't bother hanging it, because she already had one hanging upstairs. She got NOTHING!!!!!

I learned that you can place your villagers in the room at Photopia. I thought all those photos I saw floating around of everyone with their villagers together were players inviting their villagers to their houses.

You can stop the cars on the mini circuit at different points on the track.

You can't invite your villagers to your house - at least not yet - in NH.

If you give a villager a piece of clothing as a birthday present which you're already wearing, you'll get a special reaction!

I think this only happens on their birthday because I always give my villagers clothing I'm wearing but have never had that reaction before!

today, while changing the music player outside olive's house to match her favourite song, i realized that there's a shuffle option i've never noticed before

 

[satine]

Today I learned that trying to find balloons for DIYs is a huge pain in the a-double-s.

No. But today I learned that balloons spawn regularly , like every 5 minutes or whatever, which I guess is way better than it being completely random. Doesn't make it any less of a pain tho! And I ALSO learned that when you pop them too close to the water, they fall in and you lose them! Which is just! So great

 

[ReeBear]

So only after receiving Jingle's photo did I realise that all the photos are customisable and I just Prffft.
Customised my little collection of photos so the frames are more fun now and oh no this realisation makes me wanna start collecting photos more, this is not good

 

[itsmxuse]

I didn’t realise until the other day( I forgot to post on here) if you talk to melting snowmen they give you an extra large snowflake!
