Put my Toga back on. It looks better than the outfit that I replaced it with.
I found Drake in my Campsite, and he asked to replace Ankha. I need a Lazy and I have Ankha's Amiibo, so I said Yes.
Gave Ankha away to a good home.
Got a shiny new Jewel Beetle model in the mail.
I gave CJ 3 Pond Smelt for a model.
I bought several nice coats that I will probably never wear.
Got a blue Cold Country Dress gifted to me by Coco. It looks really good, so I plan to use it later.
Shot down several balloons. Only got 5000 Bell bags...
 
Started fighting back against the ever expanding mass of flowers.
Why did I ever try so hard to grow them? I spent 2 hours and dug 100s up and there's still more 😭😭😭 Guess I'll keep fighting them tomorrow ;-;

  • Leif showed up so I purchased some pink camelia bushes to plant in my shopping area. Didn't have that type yet!
 
I wanted to start off the new year with a new island so I've been mostly busy with flattening and rebuilding areas of Tropico! Today I've finished the little section around the tailors and the island entry but it's still missing more items I'm currently hunting down, hehe =D

I've had a very tropical themed Island with lots of bright colors and palm trees up until now but kinda wanted to shift to more areas that had a "village" and "forest" feel to it, hope it turns out well in the end *fingers crossed*

I finally caught the lobster! I have been meaning to do it for a while. (If you haven't already, January is the month to do it before it becomes unavailable for the rest of the winter.) This means that I am only two sea creatures away from completing my museum, so I'm pretty excited about that.

I also accomplished a weird accidental hack. I put my Switch to sleep last night with my player standing in my house. When I started back up this morning, I decided to order an item for myself. Then I stepped outside and the day reset animation took place. Isabelle made her announcement and I ran over to check my mail like I usually do. Voila, there was the item I had only just ordered! I never knew about this and it's kind of neat if you want things delivered faster without time traveling, I guess!

Also bought a bunch of stuff from Kick's stand to fill in the gaps in my catalog a bit more, so that was nice.

Trying to decide if I should take down my holiday stuff or keep it up a little bit longer. It's so pretty and I worked hard to get it all there, and there isn't much in the way of seasonal items to replace it until spring.
 
It took faaaaar too long but I finally got rid of all the flowers taking over the back left corner of my island, some progress photos of the ordeal:

I’ve now moved the campsite and got started playing around with creating some mini cliffs, waterfalls and streams in this space, it’s so nice to be able to do fun things with it finally after leaving it to the flowers for so long 😅 Looking forward to playing around with all this space now!
