ACNH guide is really helpful, it has a tracker for all items, critters, art, and also has a daily to-do

[@datoasterz6633]

It’s confuses me kinda.

[@shalice7784]

I use it too, helpful and bundles some of the other resources there into one

[@neveloser4216]

idk how to use the turnip calculator but i love everything else

[@becs484]

It's the best easy to use guide

[@becs484]

@@neveloser4216 if you're using ACNH guide just input your daily price's and press calculate..it does all the work for you 😊

Hello, I am the founder of NoFeeAC- the subreddit you mentioned at the end- and I know that a mod has already commented but I wanted to say thank you as well. The community grows because of people like you sharing it around. Keep up the good videos!

[@crispy_fries_xy]

Nighthawk3883 hey, I just joined the server and everyone is so nice! I can’t go to anyone’s islands rn but as soon as I can I’ll definitely look through the reddit again!

[@ladygrndr9424]

I am a member of the Discord group, and 100% positive interactions and exchanges so far, after a month. Love being around people who love the game, but remember it is a game and the point is to have fun :)

[@Lernyd]

I'm surprised I didn't see Nookazon on this list. There are some scammers on there, but the rating system can help determine who you can trust.

[@dumbyoshi1519]

as some one who has never been scammed but has heard horror stories, sometimes players will BUY fake reviews so they can scam someone else 😅 be careful with that

[@iRandomTV]

There are rarely any scammers and it's actually quite hard to get scammed.

[@temmiemew]

@@iRandomTV tell that to the girl who dropped 250 nmt then got kicked off the island for a raymond who wasn't in boxes and couldn't report because the mf hacked nookazon

As a new player (this game is my first) animal crossing world is probably my favorite I use it when I’m buying paintings from red and it’s definitely saved me from getting scammed out of my bells

[@CorinneStephens]

Something I wanna mention with r/NoFeeAC is just, like, pay it forward. The culture on there of people being nice and just doing stuff for free is an awesome one, but I do regularly see it being taken advantage of and it's disheartening. When you tap onto the daily LF thread, don't just make your comment and leave, scroll through and see what you can do for someone else. I love giving stuff away on there, but I've started looking at the profiles of people I might help, and if I'm having a bad day and feeling a little stingy, I'll only help people who I see actively helping others out as well. I know not everyone has a lot, but you don't need to have a lot in order to give.

[@itzpeaches695]

Yes

[@captainjooles]

Agreed! As a mod on NoFee it’s wonderful to see people pay it forward on there ❤️

[@iamjohnporter67]

With due respect I know people like to give out stuff but sometimes I just see people demand more out of others because they don't feel fulfilled on what they are giving out and want something return. That is something I see a lot when you go to sites like Nookazon.

@MythicalMeado1 Hey thanks for responding to my comment!! Y'all are doing a great job as mods. I really appreciate the effort that's been put into organization and ease of use on there and it goes to show that efficiency doesn't mean good community vibes have to be sacrificed. Your sub is pmuch the only reason I ever go on Reddit and it's such a nice place. Thanks for all you do :)

Just when I think I have a handle on the details of this game, I find out how many resources I didn't know exist... But at least I have new things to read and learn!!!

[@chariiteee]

The villager popularity list is also an interesting resource :)

[@laurancevantas1998]

I got my Switch yesterday and I started playing AC:NH as well

We love seeing Aeon’s simulator get more recognition. He worked too hard on that for the numbers it gets at the moment in my opinion.

[@wqi311]

love how you get straight to the point in your videos! definitely subscribing for more content and here’s to hoping that your channel grows bigger 💖

[@invy2017]

This list is still useful in 2021. I just started ACNH a few weeks ago and I think this video alone had me open up 10 new tabs. Thanks!

[@sarap6862]

Thank you so much!! This was super helpful to me. I knew about some of the resources but you mention a ton more. So glad I found this channel. 😊

[@Iskimoi]

Thank you for your little ACNH Guide! Even after 355 hours on my island (I miss a hole recipes & decoration stuff), I learned something new & your online-tips were very helpful to me.

[@babybeauti96]

This is probably the most helpful video I've seen yet when it comes to ACNH. Thank you so much for this video! ♡ Anazing. Just amazing. 👏

[@whackink]

My son and I will be playing ACNW sometime next week, when our games come in the mail, and your videos have been wonderful in getting us pumped and educated!

[@permaugh]

I just started playing 12 days ago and saw this video day 1 that I played. It has made my time playing go so smooth. I was already introduced to NoFeeAC, which is such an amazing community. Thank you so much

[@TaintedGenre]

Thank you for the links in description, I started to pause the video and go search for them before I realised that they were here. The ACNH app is great for keeping track of everything really, as well as predicting turnip prices 😊

I love the app ACNH GUIDE (pic looks like a tabbed book). It’s great for everything. Keeping track of what you’ve donated to blathers, when and where each critter is available as well as size and rarity. Keeping track of what DIYs and reactions you’ve learnt. Items you’ve cataloged etc. plus so much more. I use it everyday

Theres also apps called AC Fan and AC Helper, that helps a lot as its like a mobile version of check list for all items. It even has pictures of Redd's paintings so I can compare if its real/fake before I commit to purchase, and theres a part where you can share Dodo codes to others if you have turnips prices at Nooks Cranny, or a villager is giving out DIY

[@tmntleo]

I like to use the ACNH Guide phone app myself, it helps you keep track of what bugs, fossils, sea creatures, fish and paintings you have as well as having a turnip tracker, daily checklist (money tree, rocks, villagers you've spoken to that day etc) and more. It just takes a little bit to set up because you have to manually go down the lists and check off what you already have, but if you're just starting out that's pretty easy.

[@addit7796]

This video was soo helpful💕🤩 Thank you 🙏 💕💕

[@czjt79a]

I used the 2d happy island designer, and may I just say- Map designers help sooooo much I’m making my island a town from a movie, so to plan my map out and get familiar with it I looked up references then designed the map and my island looks great One thing I would say though is if you are planning to get animal crossing and you don’t have it yet, definitely plan out your map first so you don’t need to move everything later (which is what I had to do it’s not fun trust me)

[@breezyiscool8025]

I also really like ign for the lists of bugs, fish, and sea creatures because you can check off what you have gotten and it saves it in your browser

[@Daxdiv]

One resource I've been using is AC-Catch. It's a good way to see what Bugs, Fish, Sea Creatures, Fossils & Music you can collect & also shows when a creature is catchable, provided that your Switch & PC are on the same wavelength as far as time is concerned. It also has a way to change the Hemispheres if you want to as well.

[@flowerhiyyih]

wow your so helpful! i'm new to animal crossing and your really helpful! your definitely my favourite youtuber :)

[@CasualPearls]

I don't have the game yet but I love your videos!! thank you for showing me ACpatterns so i can make patterns before i get the game, ots good practice, and its my big draw to the game!

[@javarnhewitt9336]

thank you so much for all the help

[@amyloberg6668]

I use the app ACNH life to track the items in my catalog, my npcs, etc. I think it helps condense some of the items on this list to a one stop location. It also has a turnip calculator built in and its really helpful for knowing which villager types will give you what diys and reactions.

[@PaulMcCarter]

I love every single one of your videos

[@CaptainBulbasaur]

I actually used the happy island planner and now my island looks so much better :)

[@kozumaie]

Even a year later and animal crossing never gets old! There is always something new to learn or to see with this game🙈

[@Foreverloma]

Wow that was very helpful 👍🏻

[@nicjaballas8873]

This is amazingly useful

[@OhGeeItsJen]

icebr's AC:NH Helper is great for keeping track of what bugs, fish and sea creatures you've caught and donated. my favorite thing about it is the "catch now!" tab that tells you what can be caught at the current time.

[@lucylunday7867]

There’s this app that I use called AC Club that lets you find places to buy and sell turnips, find islands with certain visitors currently on them, trade/buy items from people, keep track of how many bugs, fish and sea creatures you’ve caught, and much more! I highly recommend it for any players. There are other good companion apps out there, but I feel this one has the most friendly community. A few of the companion apps have really mean and greedy people on them, so I would be skeptical. Also, to Krisselia, I find your videos to be very helpful, and I hope that your KZbin career is successful, because you deserve it :)!

[@Blondie2.0]

This was very helpful information that I know nothing about I am new to the gaming world this is the first game I've ever played and I'm in love with it and I find new things everyday to discover.. Your video outstanding ,but you talk so fast, take a breath ,calm down.. I have to re-watch this may be another four times to get all the information ,but thank you again.
