Everyone Makes These 30 MISTAKES in Animal Crossing New Horizons

[@lisalisa1261]

I forgot where i learned it, but i always have a completely blank tile in my designs' folder, like i erased all the colour and left it see through. Now i can use this transparant tile around flowers to keep them from spreading without having a visible border. I also use it behind buildings or in awkward spots to prevent money trees or other items (mushrooms, lost items, snow balls ect) from spawning where i dont them to. It has really helped me a lot!

[@dashcamandy2242]

OMG I've never thought of doing that! Thank you for that pro-tip!

[@Mooncrest0]

THIS IS SO SMART!!

[@FunnyBlockFilms]

How did you do that!!?? That sounds so neat!! 😳

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

literally every time i sit at my desk to play Wolfenstein or something, i always end up playing Animal Crossing for four or 5 hours instead. just finally gave it a rest (until tonite, anyway. winter nights in ACNH are great. we have had some snow flurries but i want the real deal!). and this was the first vid to pop up when i opened youtube. thanks for your dedication to making daily AC content. 😎

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

also, i used to get down about my own island but if i go look at it from someone else's perspective, there's probably a pretty good chance that they will think your island is better than theirs and you will think their island is better than yours. everyone's island is unique in its own way. 😎

[@superluigi63mario34]

ur brain is so rotted u spelled tonight wrong

[@_xiryu_]

lol the contrast between wolfenstien and animal crossing, Also how did you get anch on pc 😭😭😭

[@Amie-h4g]

Uhh.. Its not on pc.. I'm pretty sure they mean on their switch-

[@odettem2259]

So funny I was just telling my sister same thing. I be loading up Lost Ark or PoE2 most recently and instead I get absorbed into animal crossing 😅

[@zendoll1]

I think the reason some people feel bad about their islands is because some KZbin ACNH channels criticize some islands they visit in a dream. I make my island for my villagers. My villagers are spoiled on my island, they like that it is easy to navigate.

[@Zyugo]

Try checking out my island, Hiden, it's the closest you'll get to a refined looking setting and not too much junk like others.

[@ggundercover3681]

i too make a lot of decisions based on if it's easy for me to navigate. not my villagers, me! cuz imma be running around the most. i already see that i'm going to make a lot of gaps and shortcuts, ladders, and hoppable land in the rivers just so i can move around. i think there's a bit of fun in that tho. i hope to also start making some living spaces that make sense for my villagers, and putting those who i think would be good friends near each other. hopefully i'll be able to slowly complete my first island. won't be social media worthy but i'm alreayd so much happier with my patience coming back to the game.

[@tammy3257]

I did the same. They and myself can move around pretty well. I didn't flatten my island. I love my cliffs.

[@xiaobelike]

what's a channel that does critique? i always run into non critical players and i'm curious to see what a critical one would say

[@Alexardelean89]

Thank you for saying that! My island is so bare but it’s because I’m a minimalist and I just feel stressed when I feel like I gotta dress it up. So I’ve calmed down and I just do a few things and just enjoy the empty spaces running around freely. It is a getaway island after all so sometimes less it more.

[@Takemysenf]

Same. I dont want it to look like a little city, I want it to feel natural and free and naturally „grown“. I dont think I will terraform it, aside from a few minor spots, because I just like to take what I got. I even had a hard time cutting trees down, but that I had to learn, cause otherwise nothing would happen, lol

[@MoonsSoul]

I agree, I like the nature aspect of the game so I’m always confused when people wanna get rid of the weeds.. THE MESS ADDS CHARACTER!!

[@Acnhfan283]

When your villagers move out, they leave one item in the recycling bin. Got a golden bathtub from Jullian. (It wasn't the exact words. It was one of the astrology diys)

[@k4mrat]

really?? i didn't know that

[@stephenlignowski1915]

With an especially beloved villager, I'll take the item and put it in my house to remember them by.

I love that you still post acnh vids everyone I know personally no longer plays and doesn’t appreciate it as much as I do I’m currently making a springcore island ❤

[@BellBell506]

Did you finish the island? 👀

[@toykeyper8914]

I literally just restarted my island a couple weeks ago. Not gonna lie, I shed a tear deleting my old (first) island. But I have no regrets, I'm having a lot of fun with my new island and the new terrain has given me more inspiration. The idea of flattening my island was more over-whelming to me than starting over.

[@trishmason6672]

Just remember your old island lives on in dreams. Those are forever so you can visit it anytime

[@Lycheese]

I deleted my first island (accidentally) when transferring to my OLED model, I only just started my 3rd play through with slightly different map

[@stacybyers1985]

@trishmason6672 I know exactly what you mean. It's the worst! I remember I had this awesome island in New Leaf. It was so perfect. But then my 3ds wasn't working for a while so I was unable to play New Leaf for the longest time. Once I finally got it to work over the summer, my island was overgrown, I had cockroaches, my character had bedhead, and it was just so painful to restart it. I shed many tears myself. I think I took a lot of pics of my island at least.

[@ElliotdaDragon16]

Agreed

[@biffrinaldi]

If you go to the dlc island you can find characters you've built homes for on the beach toward the back of the island. Talking to them will often result in unlocking some element used in their home.

[@KitsuyuutsuR]

I’ve got great advice, especially for the current winter season. If your island is cluttered like mine, BEWARE OF SNOWBALLS!!! I have my flowers VERY controlled and, aside from the smattering around my island, I have a special garden area where I display one of every type and color flower as well as a bed of gold roses. Since I have little ground space that’s not occupied by pathing or some item, the snowballs tend to spawn in my flowers. If you leave them there, they’ll actually kill off whatever flower they’re sitting on top of. Which is great if you want to get rid of flowers, but in my case, I don’t want that. I don’t know if it affects the vegetables the same way (I’ve also had them show up in my vegetable garden) but I would assume they do. I either move them out or break them so I don’t lose what I have. Just a tip if you’re keeping things controlled. Snowballs can destroy what you’ve worked so hard for.

[@sonicguyver7445]

I'm glad I accepted that I do not have what it takes to rebuild my island. I could never do those elaborate islands like others do. But I realized I didn't really want to change my island. I'm happy living on a comfy island paradise. I just tweak things here and there.

[@tonitassoni80]

Am I the only one who doesn't mind a flower infestation? I have a lot of flowers on my island and am using my extras as placeholders while I try to create a rock garden, but I genuinely don't mind combing through the island to move/remove all the flowers. it's kinda calming, repetitive, and easy. I even have the beautiful island ordinance and I still don't mind. I don't know, maybe that's strange lol

[@EmMy-cp8bi]

Ahahah ! Good for you ! My mistake was moving all my flowers to a certain spot whenever I was decorating an area. Now my beaches are full of flowers and I can't be bothered getting rid of them now xD

[@stacybyers1985]

@tonitaassoni80 I think so. I hate it! I've had to restart sooooo many islands due to flower infestations. I remember one island I had I planted bamboo, and that was an even worse infestation!

[@jackielalalalala]

I like it too!!! I purposely plant lots of flowers :3

[@alveolilac]

i think having flowers grow all over my island is great! i have the beautiful island ordinance set up too, and i only really clean them up when they grow on my dirt paths. the spare corners of my island are covered in wildflowers and i think they look better that way 🌻

[@swiftgladhen7238]

I don't even really like flowers irl, I do have A LOT of flowers on my island though. This game is a grind.

[@SharonOnTheNet]

when you do the quest of guliver or gulivaarrr the next day you will have a rusted part in the box at resident services. make sure to keep the rusted parts if you want to make the robot.

[@mycabbages3538]

I thought we could all make our own island so I let my 6 year old daughter make and name our island. It’s so frustrating that I have to play as her to do anything on the island.

[@zoe13okeefe24]

I had my sister who was 6 at the time play and had a similar problem but not exactly this.

[@honeyla5660]

Me and my younger sister played rock paper scissors to decide who’s first. For my good luck, I won but that was a very close one.

[@SquishyTheVampire]

Why not get her a switch lite so you can play separately?

[@mycabbages3538]

@@SquishyTheVampire Yes I got both my daughters switch lites and there own animal crossing game. So we all play together sometimes. But our island on the main switch is pretty much done and I’m not starting over to make myself the town rep.

[@cerebralhawks4544]

Regarding who starts the island... this one can be tricky! Wife bought the Switch and AC:NH fully intending to play it. I had some negative opinions of AC for some reason I can't fully explain now (I'm sorry! I was wrong), so I let her start the island. I had a vague impression that it would work that way (like Pokemon, there's only the one save file). Anyway, she lost interest in the game, and my interest SOARED. Ultimately we ended up resetting. I run the island now, she plays when she wants, and we both enjoy it more than we did when she ran the island. And I give her stuff I don't need or replace with better stuff, and I've found that, rather than just "drop item" in front of her house... mail the item so I get the pen pal achievements (you need to send a total of 100 postcards, at a total cost of 20,000 Bells, to get the achievements).

[@sleepyote]

I was gifted this game and a switch lite a few days ago, so this is really helpful. I've played all the way to New Leaf, so the breaking tools, crafting, and terraforming are the only things new to me.

[@kaylavelez6877]

Me too! The best gift I've ever gotten

[@PlushiePoogle]

If you're feeling burnt out because you can't help but compare your island to the ones you see on YT and other social media, I suggest going to see Luna and visiting random dream addresses by letting her "surprise you" with random dreams. You'll quickly realize that, online, we only get to see the best of the best, most unique themes, over-the-top terraforming, etc. when in reality, there's all kinds of islands out there and yours isn't even close to half bad. I have mixed feelings about starting over. I love the beginning where everything is still simple and relaxing, villagers in tents, having to build everything from scratch, not even having to worry about how you're going to terraform yet because you haven't unlocked it yet.. But at the same time, yes, I've definitely regretted it and thought to myself "why did I do this, my last island wasn't that bad T_T " Especially when looking back at old screenies I made of previous islands. But if you restarted because of things you couldn't change about your last island, like for example the location of Resident Services, it can really help. Flattening won't change that, after all. I had to restart 5 times before fully realizing what I wanted in my island. I was way too picky for my own good and kept deleting islands over the smallest things, but now I finally have my forever island. Green airport, Redd's beach in the middle, airport and RS lined up, I didn't want my peninsula all the way near the top or just beneath a rivermouth, leaving me with an awkward tiny beach, stuff like that. It took 4 days of almost non-stop resetting and a lot of my sanity, but I finally found the perfect island. The only thing I'm sad about is that the native fruit isn't apples, but pears were my second choice, so it's all good 👍 And as a bonus, it has beautiful beach rocks (one is in the water) and nice big flat rocks on the North side.

[@ninaorb8280]

Thank you! I am just starting AC, already feeling late to the game. It is odd to be a cozy game and start out with debt, lol. It’s hard to progress when you see so many great islands out there. Thank you for the tip to not compare and keep going!❤

[@Karyy_perezz]

I just started a month ago too! Haha

[@Drachenbauer]

About the chapter selling things in this video: For clothes and furniture i look at first, if they can be purchased from the cataloque, and onla, if they can, i sell them. For bugs, fossils and fish, the first specimen of a type, that i get, goes straight to the museum.

[@vampiregirl123]

I have never felt bad about my island when seeing other islands. I am cr@p at designing and I am cool with that. I still love this game.

[@NaitsirhcCheck]

Flattened my island twice. Made sure to take lots of pics of my old builds. Huge inspo. I find that combining area ideas work well too. For example my camp area is mixed with a ruins build & giant mushrooms.

[@stacybyers1985]

First of all, your island is GORGEOUS! It looks like it could be in a gaming magazine or an ACNH game guide book! I watched the whole video. I found I actually do a lot of this stuff. When you mentioned about having a copy of every item, that's something I do by instinct. That started in New Leaf (which I actually still play to this day!) when Blathers had a fossil I wanted to donate and I had like 3 of the same one. I saved one in my inventory then sold the other 2. I also recently did that with the Red King Crab. Since it took me forever to catch it, I knew it was rare. I caught like 3 more, so I could keep one and sell 2. Another big mistake I made was enacting the Beautiful Island Ordinance. My flowers spread like wildfires and it drives me insane. A trick I learned which is mostly for weed prevention is to go into your custom designs, and select the 'clear' design. It's just like designing a path. Just paint the clear design over parts of your island where you don't want flowers and weeds to grow. It's a labor of love, but it's worth it. If you miss any spots while doing this task, either dig your shovel into the ground (the shovel won't go thru if there's clear coating on the ground) or jog around the island. If you're running around and there's a crunching sound under your feet, that area isn't covered with clear coating. Just a tip I thought would help you and others. I'm having the painful task of digging up flowers one by one. I really like the tip about restoring tools. I saw that in another video as well. Lastly, I wrote down your Happy Home Academy ID and Dream address. I just wanted to get permission from you first. Is it ok if I visit your island using your dream address? You're welcome to visit either of mine. My HHN ID is RA-2793-1225-9881 and my Dream Address is DA-1509-0479-6492. My island's name is Hogwarts and my player's name is Bellatrix :)

Your island looks like something Nintendo would have created themselves for New Horizons. I love your island

[@Monkeyspankerelite]

Hi Bobs Gang. Tabbys team here. I suffer from bad temper and ragedeleted my first two islands due to some of the mistakes you named in your vid. First one was due to stupid names on both my char and my isle, brokeness and flower infestation. My second one due to rushing, stressing, misclicking and letting my favourite villager leave. And ofc flower infestation. This third island I`m taking it super cool, no rush and stress, no mindless time traveling. Very sparse decoration, trying to keep that "deserted island" feeling, and I love it! But the flowers are trying to take over here too. 😹

[@NALTOHQ]

I finally stopped resetting as an old friend of mine finally started playing with me and we’ve had a blast so far. I now have a reason to set up island backup and NookLink, and now she may even be sending me some OLED Joy-Con so I can play on the go for the first time in 5 years. Also, bob’s gang.

[@pleviathan]

My advice would be: Have fun! And ask people, I learned that this community is a really nice and not that toxic (unlike other game communities) and people are willing to help. No question is too dumb.

[@toykeyper8914]

I refuse to unlock the cooking in Animal Crossing until I get all the DIYs I want from my villagers (that way when they are crafting it is not going to be a recipe for food instead of an item). And I always leave the stretching to play out while I take a bathroom break or get a snack :)

[@tetraspirit13]

This!!! Never thought of that, but it seems once you unlock cooking it is all the villagers do and it’s hard to get crafting DIYs.

[@game_masterariana]

19:45 this was actually one of the main reasons why I started over. I once planted a few and over time there were too many flowers and it would’ve taken too much time to clean everything. Plus I didn’t really like my island, because it was my first island and I had no idea what I’m doing (not really a person, that watches many videos about games, because I want to discover everything myself😅). But restarting helped me and I now like my island, I also wasn’t really that far into the game and I didn’t really have very rare items so I didn’t really lose that much. Before I restarted, I screenshotted my dream address so I can travel to my former island whenever i want

[@spectre2466]

I've noticed getting different villagers occasionally seems to effect what items you get from the shop and from balloons. This suggest it's actually a good thing to have an influx of villagers occasionally (even ones you may not like). For instance once I finally got Peko a couple days later I started getting all the wonderful Asian items I had been wanting. It's ok to have villagers you like but it's also a good thing to let a few villagers leave as it brings in a different set of items.

[@_nextlevelgaming_]

9:30 I had started playing the day it came out and have been playing it up to this point and just recently got a new switch because my old one broke. Anyways I lost EVERYTHING. I was very upset for the first few days. I’m having fun rebuilding but sometimes I get really upset because I had most of my dream villagers (Teddy, Punchy) I was just missing Murphy. Motto mention my museum was almost 100%

[@cheyennemoore8380]

As someone who gets annoyed when there's stuff in my recycling bin, I'm glad that I always check it when I play and empty it. Outside of when I time travel, there's rarely more than one item in there. Idk they added new items to it, so I'm looking forward to seeing those. Thanks for the info! Also, it's nice to hear islands look nice bc I"ve enjoyed the ones I've seen and people critic them so much. But they're usually so cute.

[@Lilyandthepups]

[@stitchb12]

19:07 I'm watching this while I remove the flowers on my island that have been growing for years 😭😭(I have broken 27 shovels so far)

[@unbekanntessflugobjekt]

Also really important is: dont "cheat" to get the maximum of bells (999.999.999) , it makes building and buying things easier yes but it also takes away the fun of working for your things and overall ruins the "living on an abandoned island and making it into your own" vibes because in reality you wouldnt be a multi millionaire on a random island either. by "cheating" i mean is like going on treasure islands and collecting really really valuable items or lots of tulips and selling them for an unreal price just for the fact of being insanely rich then. i learned that the hard way

[@woahfrownie]

that happened to me!! my friend introduced me to treasure islands and I maxed out cash, got loads of nook miles tickets, items etc. yeah, I had everything, all the villagers I wanted, but I didn’t feel fulfilled with my island, like I hadn’t earned it, which really ruined the experience. that’s why I actually prefer grinding than getting everything for free! I restarted my island about a week ago, and I’m so much happier with my island :))

[@ankha6415]

My biggest complaint is being forced to read the same text over and over again with no option for instant text.

[@AbsoluteDan]

I recently restarted my entire island because i didnt like where my resident services building was. I finally found the island i wanted where the building is directly straight ahead from the airport and both river mouths are on the left and right side beside the airport. I already dont regret restarting as i already have an idea on how to terraform it.

[@Fearlesspanda22]

My brother kept gifting me cardboard boxes in game and through the mail so my villagers thought I loved cardboard for ages 💀

about the backup thing, if you have a micro sd card in your switch, your switch will back up your saves on there. so you might be able to manually backup your save every now and then, if you put it in your pc and just *copy* it to another folder

[@hardline2a]

I love starting new islands. I also like to keep my islands much more simple compared to many people. My last island had an outdoor restaurant and fair ground while my house had a mad scientist attack with a dungeon basement. Eventually it felt too busy for me so I stayed over a week ago. Felt like such a relief

[@Sonicgott]

Best money-making thing I've done as a new player is to use those Nook Miles tickets to other islands to get fruit not native to your island, plant them into trees, then sell the fruit as they multiply. Your resources will build up gradually over time and it'll help you get started amasssing stuff for your island.

[@Zyugo]

@Crossing Channel I actually just thought of another way people are playing ACNH wrong. When selling unwanted stuff, be sure to sell it directly to Timmy & Tommy and not put the unwanted stuff in the drop off box. Yes, even if they're closed for the night. Just time travel to the next day when they're open. You get more bells by selling items to Timmy & Tommy directly rather than selling what you don't want thru the drop box.

I have something most likely unique to my island, I put Ribbot's house on the beach and threw trash all over it, and I made a pattern specifically to be put on display as a sign facing Ribbot's house saying "I hate you" because the lore of my island (my headcanon basically x3) has it so that Ribbot is viewed with suspicion cause he's the only bot character I have, I want to eventually get all the available bot villagers so I can basically make it seem like a robot uprising x3 four years later and I still only got the one bot x3

One piece of advice for new people so how to properly use the custom setting for doing the mannequins, I accidentally screwed up my palm tree design. I didn’t know I couldn’t reset it and I didn’t know I could make new designs. In fact there are zero YT videos that properly teach about mannequins at all. It’s just use mannequins for rocks and make it custom then change it after to delete them but no one explains them properly. I thought I had to make them on my work bench.

I was trying to get Poppy on my island, but we had no free space. I was hoping she'd replace with Eggbert or Kyle(two villagers I don't care about) BUT NAH SHE WANTED TO SWAP WITH ADMIRAL?? IVE HAD THAT OLD MY ON MY ISLAND ON MY ISLAND FOR SO LONG, AND I ALMOST STARTED CRYING WHEN I FOUND OUT HE WANTED TO MOVE😭 I didn't get Poppy in the end💀

I love the video - however, the problem with time traveling and dealing with turnips is easy to deal with. If you visit any of the many treasure islands that you can visit for free, you can get an inventory full of royal crowns and then when you are back on your island, you can sell them for a few million bells. You'll never need to use the turnip market again :-)

[@crownclowncreations]

What is a treasure island? I don't think I've ever heard of those.

[@LydiaTarine12]

Another thing about the bad luck and purification option is that if you don't go through it then there are items you'll never receive.

[@kyokisaru]

You can't move the mouth itself but you can minimize it to almost nothing, the only reason your footage showed that you couldn't was the waterfall I think.

[@laurieserba8340]

Still wish I could get some fruit I don’t already have,like apples, cherries, peaches…..

[@Zyugo]

This is why we need to visit other islands in order to get other fruits. That's what I did back then when I was still visiting islands from other players via Dodo Code™.

[@justforsomething]

I just downloaded this game last night, taking some mental notes 😊

[@Karyy_perezz]

I’m new too ! 😀

[@itsViirtueYEAH]

flattening my island was why i restarted it. i ended up losing all my inspiration because i struggle so much with terraforming. all the houses being on the beach and everything being flat and it taking ages to fix that really ruined my experience. So i guess this is my reminder that not all tips are universal and you should play the game in whatever way brings you the most joy, not how you feel like you "should" be playing. As another example i always look for the message in a bottle, fossil, and tree furniture item when villager hunting even tho it makes it way slower.

[@Kaira90211]

I kept restarting until I finally got an island where the native fruit was pears. I started Animal Crossing on the GC back in 2002 in a town with pears as the native fruit. Then when I finally got New Leaf so many years later, my town had pears. Pears being my starting fruit is a tradition for me at this point. I'm especially glad that I restarted till I got pears with this game because my natural island layout was awesome. Just had to tidy it up a bit. It had a natural, star-shaped pond that I haven't messed with because I'm afraid I won't be able to sculpt it back to the shape it came as. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better island. I have also named my character Quill since GC Animal Crossing.

Bob’s gang. I nearly restarted but chose to have a big move around instead. My island went down to a 2 star rating as I’d sold all my flowers and trees. After 4 weeks of moving and building I’m back up to 5 stars and have a more pleading island while keeping all of my money and miles etc. ( your inventory is amazing). I wish I could change the island name for sure.

[@SleepyDaisy99]

My biggest mistake is comparing New Horizons to past games 😅🥹

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

I am so glad that Jacob was one of the first set of villagers to move in and with that got one of the houses with my furniture and not his own design. Because his own design house is so absolutely hideous... Besides, the dark wood design that the house made by me has looks so fitting for this kind of bird.

[@emilymurton2820]

Chops was my first campsite villager and still hasn’t left 😭

[@l1lz_1.0_0.1]

RIP... chops is something else..

[@mswetra2610]

ACNH got me through the pandemic. I stopped playing about a year and a half ago. Due to the new stresses in my country I'm moving back home...to ACNH❤

[@stephaniereinert5423]

The fastest way I've found to get rid of villagers is completely ignoring them. When they move in, don't talk to them at all, don't gift them anything. They will usually say they want to move after a couple weeks for me.

[@amberwallace2000]

The one thing that I wish animal crossing would allow us to do is to allow us to help/edit other players islands. Every time I visit my sisters island she always wants my advice or to have me help her with some of the edits. But obviously this isn’t allowed and for good reasons that your island is protected against online graffiti, but I think AC should give the option to have main islander give special access to allow visitors to edit or help around the island if wanted to

[@fluttershystayshigh4202]

You should never be ashamed of your island, if there's something you don't like about it just make some changes, imho if you're playing this game just to 'one up' someone else's island you're playing it wrong, AC isn't meant to be a competition. Also i never try to get rid of villagers, all is welcome and i've never come across an npc that annoyed me enough to do that.

[@smolduck237]

21:49 I just participate because it’s fun

[@EchoUploadsVideos]

The not being able to change your name thing is so true, I had to reset my 4 year old island because I got a new name and making the villagers call me that using the nickname feature just wasn't enough 😭

[@elizabethrose7366]

This video was very helpful thank you so much i have fallen in and out of the game by comparing my island to other players and tried to rush the game many times which has caused me to stop playing sometimes so thank you for making this video and all the work you put in to it! your island looks amazing btw. Bobs gang

[@gracefulangel47]

thanks for making the video! I literally listened to all you tips while playing Stardew Valley and they were super helpful :)

[@abbistarkweather4664]

Honestly with the tools I just stock up on gold tools when going to treasure islands, so I don’t have to worry for a bit lol

[@hazeltam6753]

18:57 im not even teen rn, i started my island 2/ 3 years ago and my island is messy with flowers but not 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 messy now after changing it a few days ago

[@Kat_therian1920]

11:25 I gave my villagers clothing I made myself when i started animal crossing and I saw 1 of my villagers wearing a shirt I made Also the bob shrine is so real bro like I want bob so bad!!!

[@shaniaduchene8063]

You can get the styled houses for your first villagers by having Isabelle reset the way their home looks! If you pick that option for any villager, it will set their home back to default for that character. That was the first thing i did after the 2.0 update because i still have almost all my og villagers and i was sick of their ugly interiors 😂 i also hated that they displayed the random fish and items i gifted them, but that option with Isabelle will reset that too.

[@maylifarrey7176]

Tip: get Boba or cotton candy from reds raffle. not only can they be cute decorations, but they can also be used for energy.

[@fiveyen]

Too many flowers - I was really hoping when Ordinances were introduced one of them would be "No new flowers'. I really dread rainy days because of all the work I know is coming up the next day to dig them up and toss them. Ordinances were kind of a fail...

[@amandamarg24panda]

i have design codes around all my flowers. i like the way they look but you can also download a blank design code so that you can’t see it if you don’t want to

[@fiveyen]

@@amandamarg24panda Yes I made a blank pattern design and I use it in some spots - and I would use it around all flowers but then you lose the fun sound of walking on the crunchy grass or snow. Thanks for the idea tho ^.^
