Would you share your island with your significant other?

[Winona]

No, I definitely wouldn't! He loves AC and will have his own town, but my town is for me and no one should even dare to place a flower somewhere without my approval!

I might allow him to have a house on my island and furnish it according to his taste. But the overall look of my island/town will be my choice and work alone. I could never ever share that with someone, I'd be super pissed if something was placed somewhere I wouldn't want it to be.

 

[LadyDestani]

No, I love my husband but we could not share a town. We have two completely different playstyles. He is all about chaos (his actual description for his town) and running everywhere and getting everything done ASAP. On the other hand, I like to take things slow, enjoy the little things and build up to the accomplishments gradually, and plan out every little detail over a lengthy period of time. If we were forced to play in the same town, we would drive each other crazy and it would make the game stressful, which it should not be.

I got him into Animal Crossing by buying him a copy of New Leaf, which I honestly expected him to drop after a few months, but he's still playing daily over a year later. However, he's not as big a fan as I am so if it came down to it he probably just wouldn't play the game. I would have my own island and that's it.

My partner and I don't live together and I'm the one with a switch. They aren't into AC but if they want to fool around with it I wouldn't mind having them play with me at all!

 

[SheepMareep]

Tbh i don't care if he plays and helps with my island.
The switch and game are technically mine, but I already told my boyfriend that he can always create a character and do whatever he wants with the house and help me landscape if he wanted. especially since we can now play at the same time together now and it would be fun to work together making the island look nice c:

I'd definitely let my partner share an island with me, but we each have a switch and plan on getting the game. His NL town was so messy though, so maybe not sharing an island would be for the best lol

 

[Nougat]

Love how there are two types of answers! I'm definitely one of those persons that is not considering sharing an island. I just want full creative control and our styles are too different. He's more than welcome to visit whenever he wants, though! But he'll be just a visitor :')

 

[Kaireevee]

My other half is awaiting the release of the remake of Final Fantasy 7 so I know he will be massively engrossed in that. So whilst I'm playing NH, FF7 will be out a month later. He will likely badger me purely from jealousy that his game was delayed but once FF7 is out we probably won't speak to each other haha! He has no interest in animals crossing and has even given me slightly judging eyes when he hears 'HEY GUYS HERE IS ANOTHER NEW HORIZON VIDEO' on youtube

I don't mind sharing an island with my SO, we haven't really discussed that yet. The plan has always been to get a second switch so we didn't have to share. Sharing wouldn't be a big deal, but I think I would have to take control over decoratig the town. My SO can't even make up his mind to rececorate our living room.

 

[Aubrey895]

I’m wayyyy too picky to share lol. Sure they can have a house...but it stops there lol. They can decorate a small area outside their house...but that’s it. I want to decorate my island a certain way.

Definitely buying another Switch for my wife, hopefully a cool looking special edition. Separate islands not due to design differences, but we have different tastes in neighbours. If I get Tank before her... oh boy, divorce time.

We can visit each other to help with resource collecting or if someone falls behind on weeding.

Another Switch will let me trade Pokemon with myself.
