Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.
I'm so happy that my rock garden is finally finished! After a month of mannequins being everywhere on my island, it's so nice to run around without having to worry about bumping into them. ☺
Bluebear will be moving onto another TBT user's island, so I'm glad that she has been saved from the void. Definitely feel very bittersweet about her leaving since she's been on my island since early June, but she'll have a happy home and can continue on her journey to be a world-famous pop star. <3
finally cleaned up all of the flowers that accumulated on my island over the course of many many months (from both time-traveling and real time). it was difficult to make any progress on my island before bc there were literally flowers everywhere
I have finally managed to get Anabelle to move out. She was the only villager left that still had the basic starter house. I have been trying forever to move her out since receiving her photo ages ago! Luckily I had a campsite visitor today. It took a good while (and a bajillion card games later) with Beardo to finally choose Anabelle to replace, but it was worth it. Mission accomplished! So long Anabelle and Welcome Beardo!~ෆ
I've been trying to decorate for the fall and planted more trees so I can get more acorns. I'm also collecting and preparing items and decorations for Halloween. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.
I've managed to fill my entire storage. I'm now trying to craft as many hot items as I can, because I was kinda shocked at how many materials I've hoarded.
I'm hoping to get things back down to low 1300's this week.
I worked on the nook mile achievement for crafting tools and got the fourth one in the series, the one for making 1000 of them. I figured I'd do this now, because there is a benefit to shaking trees in this season and the leftover sticks are perfect for making flimsy tools. It was an exciting milestone to reach!
Then I saw that the last level is not for 2000 as I had expected, but for 3000 tools. That means I will need 330 more stacks of sticks. That's a lot of tree shaking. Send help.
Found one of my S/O's dream permanent villagers on my 39th Nook Mile ticket (Phoebe), though I will be passing her along to him after I've obtained her framed photo
Moved in Olive from the campsite to substitute Chief. He's had a long run on my island!
I'm taking a break from buying turnips for the next while. I have plenty of in-game bells saved up in the ABD and have no major reconstruction plans on the near horizon
today was my first real productive-feeling day in a while.
my first rock spawned in my rock garden location, instead of the places i missed mannequins. finally feels like all that work is starting to pay off.
finished up boomer's farm as best as i can with the items i can currently craft and have; he's been spending all day in his new farm area and i'm just so excited about it. no apples for this birdo.
i celebrated octavian's birthday today, and he loved the samurai uniform i gave him. love seeing his happy expression so much.
my black flowers are starting to flourish more and i can't wait to make a proper garden out of them.
I actually got a fair bit done! I found Carmen while island hopping, started the process of moving a villager's house, and started work on my second level campsite area, which will be the most terraforming I've done so far.
finally finished the little convenience store I was making in my city! it honestly took a lot longer than it should have, since its pretty much a 5x7-ish area surrounded by simple panels with a glassy custom design I made, with a checkout counter, some drink vending machines, and some iron racks that I used to divide the aisles. I don't have a picture of the final product on me right now but here's a picture of what it looked like last week, when it was just a 1x7 area:
its based on a convenience store in Japan called Lawson, since my island is loosely based on Nara, Japan
So I'm definitely not a huge decorator or landscaper or anything like that. But today I finished connecting houses and shops and everything with paths - I only had the one side of my island to do for that, but still. And I also pulled a lot of my "summer" decor off the island and replaced it with more harvest/fall looking stuff. Doing all of that, I went from a standard three star island to a four star one! I'm pumped about that. I don't think I'll really ever get a five star one, simply because I really am NOT that good at making amazing layouts like other people are. Partially because I don't have the patience, and partially because I do like the "wildness" that the island has too. It's just my ground level that I put furniture and stuff on.
I also have way too many flowers, so one of the things I want to do coming up is dig up the majority of them, and then place them again in a much more logical fashion. So overgrown with them to be honest...
