Gaming Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch)

I mean it's only supposed to be a game you play for an hour a day, really.

Yeah I think that’s the problem. I spend too much time playing videogames for me to get enjoyment out of this long term.
 
I've reached the maximum of villagers now:

Want to keep:

Reneigh - Not that interesting but my first neighbour so there's some sentimentality involved.
Beardo - I like his vibe.
Naomi - She's got an interesting vamp style.
Octavian - Just moved in, fun design.
Tom - Just moved in, don't know much about him. Is a blue cat with a surpringly deep voice (sounds like Mumbo Jumbo from B&K)

Want to send packing:

Celia - Just boring.
Cranston - Jerk.
Kid Cat - Jock. Only talks about cardio.
Leonardo - Jock. Only talks about lifting weights.

Unsure:

Cookie - Kawaii dog.

I’ve got

Muffy - Original villager. Don’t care for her.
Sheldon - Original villager. Jock. Tried many times to be a dick to him and still he stays.
Sherb - Absolute boy.
Beardo - Cool guy.
Puddles - Tolerable but wouldn’t miss.
Hippeaux - Basically Beardo.
Buck - Only just moved in. Not sure yet.

Had Deena just move out which was delightful.
 
I've got 5 villagers so far:

Biff- Hippo constantly talking about the gym. I got a punch bag as a gift so gave it to him

Pashmina- goat who is beginning to get on my nerves as she is constantly singing. Shut up

Sylvanna- Chipmunk/ squirrel type creature who seems quite sweet

Walker- dog who is fairly meh so far

Annabelle- anteater that's rather high pitched and excitable and hurts my ears

I've got my campsite being built so I can start networking to get some more villagers hopefully

I've had my first encounter with the turnip lady and got 50 turnips which are currently in my pocket however other people seem to be planting them/ putting them in their house, can they stay in my pocket?

Keep trying to get one of the cool mystery islands you can supposedly get eg shark or bamboo but keep getting the same shitty ones.

I've got a bridge awaiting donations so it can be built, I've already put in 40k no doubt I'll end up doing the rest so it actually gets built can you make the others do any sort of significant donation?
 
I love Sherb! He’s awesome! I don’t mind Biff either to be honest. I hated Katt though, constantly singing! She left thankfully. Good riddance.

I ignored Hippeux until he left because I hated looking at him. :lol:

Sherb is fecking great though, yeah.

My villagers are:

Sherb
Erik - basically Sherb but a reindeer
Lily - chill frog girl
Bluebear - hyper pop bear
Boris - boring pig (he's next on the chopping block)
Hazel - awful unibrow squirrel (then her)
Lyman - a koala with issues
Sprocket - robot ostrich, replaced Hippeux
Flurry - hamster lady
Dobie - cool old Japanese wolf
 
Possible scandal on my island Sylvanna the chipmunk was found in Biff the hippos house when I went in there just now both looked a bit shifty and he was following her round the whole time I was there
 
I have someone called Snooty moving in tomorrow. Sounds like a knob.

Did he have a massive lob on behind the table cloth?

If they have kids you could stuff one and have a new museum piece. Either that or a monster on your hands, roaming free like hound of the Baskerville's.
 
Got my first museum piece. Luckily wasn’t a fake, I just guessed.
 
A couple of days ago I went on my first flight and invited Sylvana to live on my island, and then yesterday I invited some other guy, a tall lion or something to come. When do they arrive? I have to get my island to a certain point before they show up or something?

They should be there the next day if you've any available plot for them in the village.
 
Haven’t played this game for weeks. My mates won’t stop banging on about it so I want to get involved again, but how far behind will you be if you don’t play it for a period of time?

Last thing I remember doing is getting the shop built mentioned in post above.

Apart from missing event specific items/recipes, you're all good.

The items can probably be gotten again next year anyway.
 
I'm seriously considering deleting my save data and starting again.

I got the 5 star rating but I've reached the point theres not much for me to do unless I decide to move everything around again.

I did time skip on this save so tempted to restart and play vanilla.

Yeah that's why I'm in no rush. My island is still a shithole tbh but it keeps me playing. Only about an hour each day and slow progress.

My gf played it normal and is almost at the same stage as me despite getting it about a week after me.

Although she is playing about 6 hours a day and has become obsessed with the game.

The only thing stopping me deleting is I want to finish getting all the fossils and I need about 3 and now I want to get all the art.
 
I've just got the campsite, i know you can tap up the people there to try and get them to move to your island. If I dont fancy one so only speak to them once then leave them to it, will that then make them bad mouth my island, making it harder to attract potential visitors?

I got some creepy fuxking bunny thing in there with black eyes yesterday. I was straight out of there. Not having that shit on my island.

This isn't Yelp the game.

They won't be going online giving 1 star reviews if you don't ask them to move onto the island.

If your island is full they may suggest they replace one of your current residents but you can say no if you don't want to swap them .
 
:lol: feel this needs a photo to show the full horror!

Not really sure what Octavian's up to in his house, this is the kind of eccentric villagers I want though.

I'm gonna move around all the houses and improve the bridges before I try to increase my rating but it'll probably take about 1 and a half week due to that lazy raccoon only being able to do one layout change per day.
 
I've got a 5 star island and an S rank house so I'm not really sure what to do now.

He is definitely up to something there!

That raccoon is indeed incredibly lazy and has just fleeced me again- he wants new residents, excellent so do I. Oh but i have to pay to build their housing plots thanks for that given I'm practically financing the new bridge all on my own as it wont get built otherwise due to the meagre donations from other residents!
 
What’s everyone’s turnip prices cause mine have gone through the floor and I’ve got about 4000 to shift.

Ouch!

Mine are under 100 cant remember what today as I instantly dismissed them

I've just finally paid off my bridge so that's underway when that raccoon gets his lazy arse round to it, hes now swindled me out of 10k for someone else's house..

Used air miles and ended up at yet another shit Nook island, though did catch the golden trout without trying was all ready to leave in a rage at getting the same island yet again

Lopez the antelope moved in today

Managed to sell them on someone’s island for 328.

Haven’t used a NMT for ages. I read somewhere that if you have construction on your island it stops you from getting a unique mystery one. I’ve basically always got construction on my island.

Planning to move my house for a third time soon :lol:
 
Great I now have 2 singers on my island. Pashmina the goat was one and now it appears Lopez the antelope is.

Oh feck me they've just started singing together. Just no

Just been trying to change the island theme tune to glory glory Man United so at least they sing something good but cant seem to get it right especially as I cant read music or get tone

I bought my first bunch of turnips this morning. I feel like I might start thinking about them too much :lol:

I always tend to get an inventory’s worth and no more in case I need to go to someone else’s island to sell. Not doing two trips.
