I finally did a face reveal! ➜ kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6OaqZyuerijrpY IMPORTANT: For the ladder tip - this only applies to villagers not being on cliffs - if you use NMT for things other than purely villager hunting bring a ladder to get the most out of each ticket! However, if villager hunting, never bring a ladder~

Welcome back! Hope life has been treating you well :)

I hope you're doing well Chas and are healthy. I miss hearing your voice! Life's been busy so I haven't been around on discord but currently planning to elope next month and having a later dinner celebration with family in January.😅 Also lil baby Amy is 6 months now! She's been keeping me busy because she now crawls all over the place 🤣

Warm welcome back! 🙏

[@yunateyang9194]

I love how your island didn’t change much. It makes me feel nostalgic, I miss when ACNH was new. It was the one saving grace of 2020. I kinda miss that feeling. I know it wasn’t a good time for all of us, so sorry if I offend anyone for saying this.

[@alexanderdesade8554]

not offensive dw! it was a life saver for many :))

[@HoneyPastry]

I agree, was definitely a tough year to say the least. ACNL was one of the few rays of light lol

[@BreakofDawn]

I was so depressed and had so much anxiety in 2020, acnh got me out of that and helped me escape from reality for a bit. So I totally understand how you feel

[@fern_builds]

ACNH was a huge part of my self-care regimen during the pandemic, and I actually still play it a lot because it's just...so nice. Part of it is the undemanding, peaceful nature of the game, and part of it is the community of people playing. Just nice folks, all around. I continue to meet nice people through this game.

[@lapislazuli06]

No I get it, it was comforting during those days

[@spaceballstheusername675]

The last tip hit me hard. I restarted my island recently because I felt very exhausted trying to make my island like those super crazy ones on Pinterest. I'm working on my island as we speak and I was kind of dejected until you mentioned the last part, and it made me very happy. :) So, thank you!

[@christinamac4828]

I restarted my island recently too. Not because of competition but because I was bored with where I was. There are advantages and disadvantages to restarting an island!

[@kalikeliihoomalu1661]

Pinterest islands aren’t for living, they’re for looking. There is a difference between a house, and a home.

[@kalikeliihoomalu1661]

@@christinamac4828 yup I flattened my island and ruined my natural landscape. 5 stars is hard for get cuz I no more place for bridges or stairs so restarting is tempting. After taking a two year hiatus the creativity is flowing back to me

[@whitemistcreativestudios]

My island is called Patmos, we just became a three star island, and I would so love to have somebody else’s island to visit and allow you to come visit mine. My fruit is pears, but I also have apples and cherries, I just asked that you don’t take all of my fruit. I am so new to this I’m not sure if the fruit will regrow after you pick it

[@spaceballstheusername675]

@@whitemistcreativestudios hello!!! Welcome to the community :) don’t worry, the fruit WILL regrow back in a few days❤️❤️ my mom had the same worry!

[@willow_rayne6678]

Can I just say this.... THANK YOU. Thank you for saying it. ACNH is NOT a competition game... I bought this game for the relaxed feel. I have severe depression, anxiety and PTSD, so the laid back play style, the fact that it's not full of hardcore gaming and fighting or me playing against other players with different skill levels, is a HUGE reason this appealed to me so much. I've spent WAYYYY too much time on KZbin, Reddit, FB, Pinterest, and even Google, looking at other players islands and comparing their level to my own. I've stressed myself out because I couldn't get that exact beautiful design that so many other players have, the look and feel of the island being like a real life city, farm, etc, that I put the game down and almost didn't play again. This game has helped me in so many ways with my emotional and mental health. To some, this may seem silly or absurd, but you'd have no idea how much this really did help. Finally I said okay, what is it exactly that I love most about my island? It's the ease of getting around. It's the way that certain areas are set up. I like being able to see the things that fall from the trees, so the idea of setting up my orchard in simple rows would drive me nuts. I have ponds/lakes (whatever you want to call them), I have my rivers... I have my spawn points for my fish. I need that ability to get around my island with ease... I even set up a Mario pipe by Nook's Cranny and one by my farming area/orchard where I can easily transport goods to sell them. I like my simple, effective, easy to navigate, yet beautiful island. I like the idea of being able to have it reflect ME and give it that peaceful vibe. Thank you, again, for saying it. This isn't a competition. Whatever you want to put on your island, however you want it, ENJOYING your game.... That's how you're supposed to do it. You're the ONLY person I've ever heard say it. So... Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

[@blc28x]

Awww i kept my island totally “natural” and i share your love of this sweet game! *delight 🌸 *joy 🎶

[@sugarkitty2008]

I think seeing another's island that looks absolutely amazing and finished, with great details and aesthetic, is it's just like art. We are only seeing the finished product, not the time and effort that went into it. The mistakes, the redesigns, the awkward spaces they had to figure out what to do with that looked planned to you. The many touch-ups to get it just the way they want it.

[@megsyworld]

i stopped playing last year because i felt like my island was rubbish compared to everyone else’s and i felt a bit disheartened by it i guess? i picked it back up in april this year and i am loving it again as i did exactly what you said, just designing it how i like it without comparing it all the time. now when i see a beautiful island i just think of it as a nice design idea maybe i could use some influence from rather than feeling bad about my own. it’s weird why we do that to ourselves.

[@XxDreamy_LeaxX]

The last one could not be more true to me. I see a lot of gorgeous island designs on social media, but they're just so *cluttered and overwhelming*, that it's hard to walk around. I have visited lots of dream islands before and while they were gorgeous, they were also too cluttered to move around on. I couldn't find my way around and there wasn't much walking space. Now I am not saying that these islands are bad, since they truly took a lot of time and effort, but I prefer simple islands where I can easily follow the paths. If I have to squeeze my way through dozens of tiny gaps just to get to a villagers home, it's not that much fun for me and I leave the island again real quick. So yeah, simple islands it is. :3

[@nucci6865]

Don’t forget the amount of lag that comes with it, like I have a zen mini island on my island, that doesn’t really have much furniture on it, but a lot of water falls, rivers, but a lot of items that sway in the wind(lanterns, flowers, bamboo, ect) so it lags pretty badly, but I really like how it turned out and it’s manageable(and not usually in my walking routes), so I keep it, but I couldn’t imagine that being my entire island 24/7

[@XxDreamy_LeaxX]

@@nucci6865 Yes indeed, I expirienced that before as well! It was so laggy, my character could barely move around and I left *really* quick. It was pretty annoying-

[@damien678]

I want to find a nice middle-ground because I too enjoy being able to actually walk around to do stuff

[@lisa8817]

I'm a mom who plays :) I didn't know about the zoom or the ladder! I also need to stop feeling inferior when I see other towns. Thank you. 🧡

[@ethelmertz1477]

I’m a 65 year old gramma and my grandson got me this game to get me out of depression over my dog passing away and I am so thankful. It’s a wonderful game to just design and pretend. But I dont have any friends because I don’t know anyone who plays. But…that’s ok other than me not getting the fruit I need. I’m ok playing alone I guess because it’s just enjoyable designing a theme. I’ve only been playing one month. I’m happy he gave the ladder tip that was great.

[@cindyjacobsen9070]

Regarding the burying of bells - if you ever have a day when Isabelle talks about her horoscope when you start the day you can bury 99,000 bells and have 297,000 as a result. I have only had the good fortune of having it happen once but now every day I hope she will mention her horoscope again!

[@HeyItsAmyZing]

None of these are mistakes, in my opinion. Just different ways to play or do things. I appreciate the time you took to share, though, & I'm sure some people learned something new! I love ACNH so much, it's so adorable & chill!

[@RebeccaRigby]

I know most of these as an avid AC player but for someone just starting out or is a slight beginner, this is SUCH a useful video. You’re giving tips that not many people actually make points about and I love that 🥰🥰 also awesome to see you post man

[@nikajo002]

OMG. Yes. I use to compare my island to other too! I ended up focusing on paying my Loans off and building huge farms and flower gardens. My friends love my ideas. 💕 Thank you.

[@ChaseCrossing]

Exactly it's your game!! Just enjoy~~

[@evilimp]

i learned that i was time travelling the wrong way for the first year and a half. so much time wasted! welcome back, it's great to hear your voice again :')

[@ChaseCrossing]

LOL It really saves so much time! Nice to be back man thank you!!

[@Hashakgig]

I just picked up the game again recently after quite a long break. I miss the days when my entire friend list wasn't offline or I would have a silly letter in my mailbox. I also sometimes compare my island to others and think "Man, I would love to have a well-themed island like that." but honestly, I love my *completely normal* island where nothing strange at all is going on... ever...

[@itsnicole11]

I love the Ancient Japanese theme you have. I want to either do cottage core or maybe ancient japanese theme for my island

[@brooke_reiverrose2949]

I didn’t know a bunch if these! I had to decide that my island is never going to be as aesthetic as a lot of these amazing gorgeous islands. Instead I focus in building a little world that I want to inhabit, and that makes me happy

[@EmilyHolt-pe4vj]

All of these facts are really useful! My favorite tip is don't bring a ladder with you to a nook miles island if your villager hunting. I always used to bring it and it wastes so much time.

[@Curvedtrees]

actually cliff islands are spawned even without the ladder... Not always flat ones. Well, it's just true you won't need to climb to villagers without the ladder, they will be spawned at 1st level

[@jax4652]

Yeah, I always got cliffs still.

[@rubylace9963]

This is correct! I was getting these cliff islands before even knowing the ladder recipe.

[@patricia_gm]

Yeah but the villager isn't on the top

[@Syuss4]

The time travel advice, zoom feature and Nintendo app typing shortcut were really helpful. Every time I think I’ve seen the majority of what the game has to offer - I’m so, so wrong. I love it.

[@bensjammin9]

With around 1,500 hours in, I’m actually shocked that I didn’t know 2 of these. (Time traveling without closing game, ladder spawning leveled Mystery Islands)

[@Amyduckie]

I definitely will be trying the time travel tip. I actually deliberately keep my ladder on me when I hunt, it keeps things from getting too boring. Plus some of the really cool islands won’t spawn if you don’t take your ladder, like fin island, since they have cliffs.

[@ChaseCrossing]

Ooooh good point! There's a lot more to those islands than just the villager on them!

[@PsyDaniellePsy]

Unfortunately we just tried and it def did not work

[@PsyDaniellePsy]

The don’t being a ladder tip didn’t work - to clarify

[@kaylamercer7814]

That last tip was so sweet and wholesome. My boyfriend got my a switch and AC for Xmas and I've loved it so much. I was really into sims 2 and sims 4 but between the glitches and the forever load time he wanted me to have a better game. I didn't think I could love it as much as I do. I actually -avoided- KZbin tips and AC content because I wanted to learn it myself and I also knew I'd get really insecure at how amazing some islands are. I've visited some absolutely insane ones in dreams. But last night I wanted to fall asleep to AC content and everyone in this community is SO FREAKING NICE. It makes me so happy and I can't wait to work on my island and one say meet online friends to come and play and vice versa. That last tip made me feel very included, as I'm currently hoarding bells and my island is a slow roll of getting it to look anyway I like. Also as soon as you said bury no less than 10k bells, I stuck 1k in and moved one. 🙃😂 thanks for this video!

[@undeadladybug7723]

I just restarted my island, but my first one was so empty until I decorated for a holiday, and that was exactly how I liked it. I did terraform a giant spade cliff, though, was pretty proud of that.

[@bitesized_beetles]

it has been ages! hope you're doing well. i have redone my entire island this past week bc froggycrossing's 30 challenge inspired me to get back into the game and flatten it all. i miss playing it, i wish i had a second switch so i could just keep making new islands without losing my stuff :,) also, for the first tip you can change the time/date before you even save, so you can still spam through that save complete screen :)

[@stardustlatte]

Welcome back! I hope you're doing okay. I can totally relate to that last tip as I always find myself comparing my island to others and then losing the motivation to complete my island. It's an endless cycle lmao. A fun tip relating to the fruits would be that if you eat some of the new food items from the 2.0 update, they'll give you 2 "powerups" instead of just 1.

[@ChaseCrossing]

Ooooh yeah I've yet to experiment with food!! So much to do~

I’ve just ordered my first switch and it arrives on Thursday with ACNH (late to the game, I know but my beloved 2006 Nintendo DS lite has now died and I can no longer play AC). Thanks for the helpful tips ahead of my new addition to NH ☺️

[@AmazingMelodiesYouTube]

I actually didn’t know about that money tree one. I usually put 99,000 bells and a couple times it ended up being 10,000 bells in each bag. I thought my game was glitched and was quite frustrated. Thanks for the tip

[@mommymonster81]

How do you know if is a fertile day tho?

[@seleneasky9358]

Thank you so much for the last point. This is something so important. I played ACNH and it helped me so much with depression and anxiety. But then I started not only search for inspiration but compared myself to other players. I totally lost my joy in strolling through my neighborhood and instead became a busy and stressed out ax wielding sad mess. After a few month of not playing I had to relearn to live in the AC moment and also got my inspiration back. It is YOUR island. It's about you to feel comfy there. ❤

[@lowkilisa]

Hi, Chase! 👋🏻 This is my first time watching one of your videos and commenting. First of all, thank you so much for those helpful tips. There was probably one or two of them I wasn’t aware of even after playing for over two years but I just wanted to thank you especially for the last and final tip; I felt like it’s something I needed to hear because I’ve just recently restarted my island for the second time and feel like I’m constantly comparing it to other islands which, I know, is something I shouldn’t be doing. So big thank you for that little reminder, it is much appreciated ☺️

[@eliza2247]

Wah 😭 i felt that last tip. I just got into animal crossing, barely my second week playing it, and everyone has such gorgeous things. Meanwhile, I'm here flabbergasted how I got scammed into paying off loans 🤣

[@Un1corns]

I’ve always felt so bad for playing animal crossing because I enjoy the game but I don’t enjoy decorating my island, I enjoy getting money, buying lots of clothes, decorating houses, filling my museum etc but I don’t enjoy decorating my island because it’s too much work and it stresses me out whenever I try to decorate it.

[@03amsl93]

I am exactly the same, I enjoy the fashion side and simple act of gathering and selling stuff. Even decorating the house, I need to be in the right mood for it.

[@Shelbythepisces]

Just wanted to make a comment on how I really appreciate your 9th tip. I used to compare myself to others islands and felt less creative. I love my island now bc not everyone’s islands are going to be the same and that’s what makes the experience unique. Thank you for that. I have also have a quick question: what is a fertal day? I want more bells lol

[@samyb4566]

I literally stopped using the in-game keyboard to type as soon as I discovered that I can do it easily from the Nintendo Switch Online app. This made communicating with Nookazon clients easier.

[@Very_Unique_Handle_2]

The money tree tip has a little addon I want to put: You have to bury the bells in the glowy spot, only that spot, or it won't grow and be a star in the ground.

[@Yashiplays]

Hi Chase! So happy to see you posting again! You were the first ACNH creator I started following and really missed your videos!

[@xarivlogsx]

welcome back Chase!! we've missed you a lot, I used to time travel the wrong way, so that first tip is definitely helpful to know. I also agree with the no comparing your islands to other people's.

[@caffiend_]

Welcome back! Really resonated with the last tip! I've seen lots of island tours and toured islands myself and I've never been to a bad island. No matter how far they are in their island progress, if they have a lot of custom designs, or if they have a lot of builds and items set out, I always find something on their island that sticks out and wows me ☺️

[@ChaseCrossing]

Honestly as a KZbinr that did tours it was so hard not to judge my own island every time I flew back to it after

[@caffiend_]

@@ChaseCrossing it do be hard but honestly, I think we are each our own worst critic lol. Our islands are perfectly good; we just can't see it sometimes. 😂

[@Baphomet_420]

I really love the time traveling advice. I tried it right after watching this, so much quicker. Wish I knew that before I made it to three stars.

[@a_literallizard]

Personally, I love my island, even if it isnt super flashy or detailed or filled to the brim with decoration. At one point, I came across an island in a dream, and i had gotten myself stuck for god knows how long just trying to get back to the plaza because of the amount of decorations. I don't want that for people who come across my island. That's why I like to keep mine simple, but still charming. Also, I never look at pictures of people's islands. Not because I don't want to get jealous, or that i'm rude, but because i never really think about doing that. I never compare my islands to someone else's bc everybody has different tastes, and mine is not being overdecorated. For those who do have those kinds of islands, honestly, you're amazing. You spend all that time making a pretty island with tons of detail, and I respect you for it. Anyway this is getting way too long so byebye

[@_edrii_]

A new thing I learned from this game is definitely the fact that you can use the app to type in-game, like that's super neat! But to be fair, I never really type much in-game because as in mistake 7: I play alone. Not that I don't have anyone to play with, but more that the internet here isn't the best for online multiplayer games most times so I never felt an Online sub to be worth it for me.

As for the money trees, you can also bury 100 bells and get 1000 back❤❤❤

[@DeeDee-oy2dw]

So happy to hear your voice again! Welcome back and I hope you are well :) You are so right about not playing alone. The AC community is such a wonderful one, with so many people playing all over the world. There is something for everyone!

[@0gtgirl038]

I did not know about the shortcut for time traveling. Two years I’ve been losing minutes waiting to load the game! 😅. Was not aware about the zoom feature either. Also, if you eat one food item you crafted, I believe it gives you 5 counts.

[@vanessalaumbach9473]

We need more animal crossing content!!! More island reviews/tours please you're my favorite KZbinr!

[@hellajanice]

Thank you for the last tip! I literally restarted the game last night bc I needed *something* to control and immediately found myself hunkering down to play the game efficiently instead of in a fun way (even though that's why I wanted to start in the first place!)

[@brokebaddieboutique]

Me, who doesn’t own a Nintendo Switch: Ahh yes, I never knew about these shortcuts 😯

[@ChaseCrossing]

😂😂😂

[@RainSpells]

I actually learned something! Thank you for the tips!

[@SweetPotato430]

Thank you so much for this video! I never knew almost any of these and I've spent so much time over these! Also, thank you for reminding us that AC is not a competative game!

[@aja6647]

I love how you chuckle at funny moments, that’s adorable 😂

[@worms5893]

You're wrong about the ladder thing. Very first island I went to had cliffs. I'm tired of all the misinformation. Out of any game I've played, animal crossing has the most rumors and misinformation.

[@ChaseCrossing]

Hmmm It might be different when you just start the game and go to the first 1 or two islands through the "tutorial". But I assure you, I've gone to thousands of islands without my ladder live on streams and never gotten a single cliff island! It works.

[@Tinnie91]

@@ChaseCrossing i have gotten many with cliffs without my ladder, but i had vines in my pocket so i could place that to climb.

[@veteranJMacfan]

This was a really well done video... lots of good tips and also things just for us to bear in mind. I actively follow several AC KZbinrs and I am in awe of their islands as much as I'm jealous that mine doesn't look as nice as theirs. But even with the mental mindgames I play with myself, their work inspires me to make strides to improve. The whole "don't play alone" thing... the whole reason I spent the first year or so playing alone was that I didn't want to pay for a NSO subscription. After I did, I went to the Bell Tree Forums and someone there hooked me up with the fruit I was missing... and I spent the last few months going through dream addresses.

[@ChaseCrossing]

It really is a shame that Nintendo Online is inaccessible to so many people!!

[@Kris_2213]

I just got the game as a gift from my daughter (she's 21). It is super cute and fun. But I have been watching a lot of tips videos and I must say I love your calm voice and how you word things and talk about not being overwhelmed by others games and set ups and such. Since its my first play through, im playing through naturally and not time traveling and such, so I know I was setting my self up for slow work and progress but watching some videos would make me feel so overwhelmed and like I wasn't doing enough lol. So thank you for your tips and tricks and how you deliver them. Much appreciated.

[@ChaseCrossing]

Welcome to the community! I'm so glad I could help you, honestly it's such a magical game if you take it slow and don't rush!

[@BWICK]

welcome back man!! awesome to see a video out! 💙

[@ChaseCrossing]

Thanks Blaine!! Good to be back

[@Baaikha]

The Leave Your Ladder behind tip isn't always full proof. I left my ladder behind on a 'dig up whole trees and to replant them' trip and five of the six islands I visited had cliffs.

[@ChaseCrossing]

You're so right!! I should have clarified and said it's mainly for villager hunting as fast as possible and not for other important things like this!

[@Baaikha]

@@ChaseCrossing Don't worry about it. The vid is still awesome!

[@ashleemarie9939]

Yay welcome back lovely!! I knew all these except the zoom. I always wondered how streamers do that lol

[@haruhi7745]

Welcome Back. 17-03 was my 22nd birthday and watching your video is the best gift for me to enjoy😆🎁🎂🎮🌈❤️

[@jontheartist5918]

Time traveling causes lots of burnout on the game and makes it more boring and you gain less play time. I don’t time travel over the lengths of days, but if a shop I need is closed I DO time travel.

[@ChaseCrossing]

That's a great way to play the game!!

[@cartergamegeek]

I tried to play with people but everybody that was part of my lets play left the game ages ago. So all the people I spent time with to get footage vanished. So I mostly play alone now. It's funny because the guy that wanted me to get the game in the first place gave up in like a month. So here I am 2 years later with well over a TB of footage. I love this game to death but lost a lot of friends along the way.

[@ChaseCrossing]

ahh sorry to hear that! Sometimes you just have to focus on yourself yknow?

[@cartergamegeek]

@@ChaseCrossing It's why I kept that lets play going. But that is slow. The footage is still early 2020 but I have played the game every day for years and have tons of footage to edit. I still play the game a lot. I'm a small content creator just looking for people to game with. And sadly most of my AC friends are long gone by now. I have a passion for lets plays I just have few viewers.

[@megankraner1046]

Loved the zoom tip & the money tree trick blew my mind!!! Thank you!!

[@Kouga123456789]

So happy to hear your voice again, hope you’ve been well and taking care of your ❤️

[@miraclemisfitmage]

I love your video & tips. I didn't know about the zoom option as well as the time travel OR the ladder!!! Awesome tips that I've never heard of -- okay, maybe the TT, but I can never remember it lol Your cheefulness is contagious! This video is great, funny and joyful. Thank you!

[@fallenangel9716]

I started competing after seeing Chase Crossing videos because I wanted to be so good that it would be realistic to be among them. But the part of my island that I actually enjoyed doing, is the most beautiful.

[@perhaps_munch]

Chase: don’t play alone Introverts: no

[@tonpross]

I knew a couple of these but learned a lot more! I had to restart my island because the game I was playing got deleted some how. I'd been playing for almost 3 years and it's gone. I lost my friends and I can't get cherries or peaches so I'll probably check out the Discord. Thank you for posting this. You got another subscriber 😊

[@_carlito_5367]

The tip about not playing alone made me tear up. I’ve been playing acnh alone for a while now and I’m enjoying it. But it would be really nice to play with people once in a while

[@CourtneyMM]

There's a lot of animal crossing communities on discord!

[@jessicabraine9032]

There are also lots of Facebook groups
