Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Victoria of Starry Isle]

today i learnt that the tools with designs that are sold at nook’s (outdoorsy, colourful, etc) can be customized.

Woah! I never knew that what a game changer! I've always thought that plastic shovel would look super cute in pink!

I’ve been playing since release and I barely noticed that there’s a crafting area in the resident services building

 

[Airysuit]

Found another spot in the museum today that will change ur camera angle if you stand there!!
I had no idea this was also an option, did you guys?!?!

 

[kiwikenobi]

@airysuit I didn't know about that one! Now I learned something new today, too! ^o^;>

I learned that only male villagers can send you art in mail.

How’d you learn? That seems strange!

 

[psiJordan]

If you drop 15 sticks on the ground, they will stop spawning from trees everyday

such a game changer :O

Glowing spots in the ground appear as fossil stars when seen from the plane coming back from visiting another island

I learned that you can get the same villager photo twice!

such a game changer :O

WAT - this has changed the landscape of gaming as we know it

I hated picking up those stinkin' twigs all the time

 

[Alaina]

I know probably everyone but me knew this, but TIL you can press “B” to sort alphabetically or by date when viewing your storage of items at home. No idea how I missed that. I’ve been playing for a year and accidentally bumped the button today and noticed.

Yes. I just discovered that a few days ago.

When you place a good rose, the vase is also gold.

 

[CrankyCupcake]

Today I learned that my islanders don't always face frontward when sitting on the bench at the plaza! I've been playing for over a year and this is the first time for me.

Here's the screenshot.

Today I learned the Sanrio clothes make a different noise when you put them on! It’s a very nice touch

such a game changer :O

Do they need to be 15 separate sticks?

I did an accumulation of 15 and I still got sticks.

 

[psiJordan]

I did an accumulation of 15 and I still got sticks.

Yeah you have to drop 1 stick 15 separate times

Also if you drop 1 stone it stops it from spawning next to a rock everyday too

 

[kiwikenobi]

On the subject of having sticks on the ground to prevent more from spawning, you can hide them behind the trunks of trees so you can't see them, if you don't want them visible. Or behind cliffs and buildings and furniture, I suppose. But behind trees feels more natural to me. ^o^;>

I had no idea that you HAVE to pick up your star fragments the day after a meteor shower otherwise they'll disappear after 24 hours. I know time travelling will solve this problem but it really threw me when I was unable to play the following day and there were no star fragments on my beaches.

today i learned something that changes my opinion on the game a lot. I realized that my villagers weren't giving me unique dialogue cause i wasn't high friendship enough and i wasn't talking enough with them. In this game it looks like you need to talk to them 4-5 times for them to start telling you stories and other fun dialogues! Before i spoke to them 3-4 times and they always just talked about the events or that they are happy to see me.
