[@marionj.9744]

I got it the day you started and love it so far. Such a cute game!!!!!!!

[@EricasTouch]

Still waiting for my game to be sent to GameStop. I preordered it and it hasn’t come in yet.

[@anjaulrich]

Hi Pat, I wanted to send you a little gift to your PO Box and got a message from Amazon that it couldn’t be delivered?! The package can be picked up at the location, I also have a tracking number. As I live in France i don't know what to do now 😕

[@stacyk4965]

@Being Oneisha use your directional stick but let go when it goes to the red, waiting for the bar to come down. I didn’t know either.

[@stacyk4965]

@Being Oneisha ok, once you cast and the fish has hooked on you see the prompt to push “A”, now you will see arrows going up, or right, or left…..follow the arrows to start reeling it in. If it starts to get into the orange or red…..stop until the bar goes down again.

[@_rockseeker]

I bought it last night on the switch after watching your streams. You can catch and release live butterflies in your house they'll just fly around and you can leave and come back and they'll still be there when you get back. It blew my mind. 🦋

[@ivanamendez478]

What?? That's so cool!!

[@_rockseeker]

@@ivanamendez478 yes!! I found it on accident trying to learn the controls. I can't wait to go play some more!

[@CourtneySpronk]

Doing this just gave me so much serotonin. Thank you. ✨

[@gracewildsmith1183]

same goes for any other building :) accidentally let one go in sally’s workshop

[@_rockseeker]

@@gracewildsmith1183 wow! I didn't try that. So many cool little things with this game.

[@JBro9091]

Thanks for the great tips! I can't wait to unlock the city stores, that looks amazing. I'm looking forward to more tips!

[@user-nh5ku7dp9g]

I received the letter about the train long before day 20, but I somehow decided to not go to the train station immediately and here I’m finally trying to access to the city on day 19. However the train station tells me [no destination available] …. The ticket just won’t show up 😭😭 anyone had the same problem and found a solution??😢

[@moonriserocks]

Yes! Happened to me too. It’s a known bug. To fix it just completely close out your game and restart it. Worked for me and I think Pat too during a stream.

[@user-nh5ku7dp9g]

@@moonriserocks thank you so much for the help! I’ve been searching on the internet for a solution and have no luck bumping into one!! I tried it just now and it worked! 💕✨🥹

[@jennyjenn8716]

Same has happened to me. I’ve closed and restarted the game and I still get the “no destination available” error. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@buriedberry]

If you wanna get real tricksy with the cupboards, you can also put full cupboards inside of other cupboards. It's a whole nesting doll situation.

[@annamolly1906]

This is amazing! Storage inception!! Great tip, thanks.

[@skrymmorie]

Definitely bought this under your influence lol. Been playing along while you stream and have been having a lot of fun! Just got farming and the clothier the other day, and am excited to see what else is in store! 🧡

[@TaylorGrace2001]

Same this game is so much fun and it’s so nice to have something new animal crossing is amazing but it’s so cool having a new version of it thank you Pat for showing us this amazing game

[@vegassims7]

What makes this game stand OUT from all the other farming games, is that you can create ANYTHING you can imagine in the workshop. I mean literally anything you can think of. People have made cars, trains, boats, elaborate beds and furniture, and make them whatever colors you want. This game is a real sleeper, not many people even know how much there is to do in this game. Its so awesome.

[@cozywjas]

Can you drive the vehicles or are they just for decor?

[@sspiker]

I accidently released butterflies in my house.. but they stay there so I left them. Everytime I return home I am greeted by butterflies everywhere.

[@packers12to80]

I did the same. I have like 8 lol

[@mymthegreyful]

Helpful help that is direct and to the point. I'm grateful. I've made lots of progress. I got the farmer NPC today!

[@ivanamendez478]

keep playing Pat!! I unlocked 2 other NPCs last night. they have a mystery island with a rabbit in a tent who is collecting artifacts, he gives you a metal detector to help you find and dig up these things. there was also a random villager on the island that I invited to move in. I also met the farm NPC. there's so much to do, I hope you keep streaming your gameplay!

[@moonriserocks]

He went to the island during yesterday’s stream! Looks so cool and I can’t wait to go in my game

[@Xaveston]

I got Ramesh, Snow Leopard I believe and love him.

[@ivanamendez478]

@@moonriserocks ah OK I was watching until the afternoon, so I guess I left before he got to that part. I'll have to go back and watch his reaction. I was really excited about it

[@ivanamendez478]

@@Xaveston I got him, too.

[@patriciacarter4227]

Picking up a physical copy of the game today, and would love to see more tips, tricks or play-through videos. I've loved all of your ACNH stuff!

[@EricasTouch]

Good luck with that. I am still waiting for my physical copy that I preordered 3 weeks ago.

[@amandahenegar9242]

@@EricasTouch I just ended up getting a refund and just bought the digital copy. Was cheaper and I don’t have to wait any longer.

[@stephm4411]

This is a game changer thank you for this guide. I started the game on launch day and I am already obsessed and I hope more cozy gamers pick this one up! It deserves to be talked about as it is soo much more in depth than ACNH which I love

[@nanaorihara9801]

This seems to be a glitch and I don't know if they permanently stay but you can release butterflies inside buildings and they'll fly about the place. They get stuck on objects often but if you want a pet....lol. I genuinely think AC should learn and improve upon Hokko's DIY furniture system. It's a really good idea to let the players share their creations and it would probably lessen the workload on the developers themselves. People are put off by Hokko but I think it's a very charming game with good ideas.

[@Shellllbeee]

Hey Pat! I recommend Hokko life to one of my customers today! And told her to check out your channel for more cozy games!! Happy for you and all of your growth!! 👏🏻✨

[@NintenTalk]

You're the best!!

[@dkortea]

Loved the tip on carrying the storage cabinet and placing one in the workshop. I have been spending a lot of time running back to the storage pieces I got in the city that I placed in my home. I do feel that the city was the one thing AC was missing and I love that the things you download can be recreated in the workshop.

[@michellexmarie92]

I bought this game because of your streams! I only got to play it for an hour or two but I’m excited to play more!

[@stickinug]

Pat you got me hooked on this game. I discovered we can put cupboards inside of cupboards. Infinite storage maybe?? OMG wait we can get community items?! 😭 This game is so good holy cow

[@rizogamers4915]

Yup u can. I also discovered it by experiment many thing. That's why this game get me hooked up deeply than AC.😎

[@Tiffany_aka_CeissaDesiste]

Thank you so much for the extra storage tip of carrying around a cupboard or dresser! I was going crazy with not having enough space in my backpack!

[@mrsbaggettbaby4384]

I'm buying this Friday thanks to you Pat! I literally can NOT wait. How the heck are ppl making these things? Do we know anything about it yet or is it something we have to unlock? I'm curious to know how I works because it looks really difficult and kinda intimidating tbh lol

[@nnnnopeitsmelori3073]

Between you and Tag I bought this game. Love your streams, thanks for all you do. #NewEnglandRocks!

[@moonriserocks]

Without seeing your cupboard hack during the stream I would have died of inventory management frustration already 😅

[@destinyswish5583]

Hey I’ve been watching the streams the last couple days, it’s been fun watching you play

[@visualsiren89x]

Also first and easiest way I got money was selling the lamp posts around the town. 😂😝👌🏻

[@sspiker]

I wish the user created items you had to pay in game for (it could become income for those who like to create). I feel it would be far. You could cap the prices but I would want to compensate others for all work,

[@lea.rosalynd]

not pat encouraging thievery

[@Xaveston]

I think this is helpful. I definitely could have used some while playing. (I took tips from your first stream but was ahead on the 2nd so endede up doing on my own). My tips would be: You can build houses on that cliff by the mines, the farm area, and on the green parts with the beach, that is so cool! Collect so much stuff in the mines, because you will need it to get deeper. Build more storage closets help give more space too

[@tourmii]

Omg the sheep and the pumpkins 😍😍😍

[@moonie_t2021]

Thank you so much for this video. I got Hokko life 3 days ago and was searching for tips everywhere. This is very helpful!😁👍

[@Mystic_6767]

Just started a few minutes ago! Been enjoying watching you play so giving it a shot myself. So glad for this video! Looking forward to the next stream 😊

[@pamelaj791]

I just started playing this game yesterday, so these hints are exactly what I need. Thank you Pat! Keep the how-to videos coming please!

[@allydeez]

yessss Pat, thank you i couldn’t find anything either. keep them coming! 🧡

[@VanessaSellers40]

Wow…thank you so much I just started playing today and you have really helped me

[@kathryngal3]

I think my game is crazy glitchy- I was able to get up onto the second level and mine before I got the fishing rod or stairs. But my furniture creator thing is ALL messed up.

[@chameleonsoup]

So happy to learn that house exterior is something that needs unlocking. I bought a roof and couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to do it!

[@jennyjenn8716]

Tip #2: live a life of crime….burglary is fun. 🤣🤣🤣☠️

[@kenzie3280]

Thank you pat I'm going to really need this!!!!!😁

[@spencerosborne2294]

If anyone can help me, I’m playing it on my PS5, but I don’t know how to customise the outside of a house like I’ve got the place where you can buy bits for the outside of your house, but I have no clue how are you can actually customise your house or other villages the outside !

[@CharleneBallou52]

This video was super helpful. I've been playing for two days now (over a week game time) and I was getting frustrated because I didn't know how to acquire the fishing pole. Thank you so much for posting. I'm also excited about picking up items from other players. WooT!!

[@imaginaryrowan6966]

Been loving the game but has anyone had an issue with the merit system not working? For example I've been trying to expand my inventory and I checked that you only need to complete 5 quests. At that point I was sure I had done more than that but it said I had only done 4 so I thought I would just go ahead and do another one just to get the merit. A dozen different requests down and the damn thing still says I've only done 4! Nothing works to trigger it! I've tried everything. Has anyone else had this problem?

[@DevjKaiser]

Not me selling my villagers stuff because I’m broke 😂👏🏾 Welp there I go!

[@Nic-kx5dn]

Played some other night,lots to do,Glad your reviewing and playing this,feels like a different journey,but was sick of waiting for animal crossing to Expand,..Nil....so here we are playing a new version,and it's a bit guided but still let's you play as you want,So thanks Pat,keep on keeping,on, and it's great to follow your lead Hope this is a good journey we all on.🏡🐈🐈🐕🐕🐕🐟🐟

[@heroicskeleton1566]

Had no clue about the inn! Glad I saw this now while I'm only 2 weeks in, cuz otherwise I'd probably go over a month without even knowing I'm supposed to go there!

OMG! That Halloween display! Very cool!

[@buffysouthwick3231]

I'm still trying to figure out how to buy/make a cupboard. I have stolen 2 x dressers from neighbours -which was super helpful, but now they are both FILLED with resources.... how far in does Sally give you the blueprints for storage/cupboards?? Thanks.

[@lazyannie]

I wish when you unlock a merit it would show you a quick "how to use" or even when in the Mayor Merit tab and you press "Y" to show details it would state "how to use it" or whatever extra details it may have...Also I need more creator codes... >_>

[@rizogamers4915]

Wow pat @NintenTalk . Im honor you share one of my tips about extra storage at your live stream in this video. You can bring as many cupboard as you want for extra slot=)

[@lexcreature7488]

The best part of this? You get to choose which villager gets to stay-

[@yogamayaddd]

Played for more than 60 hours and in 10 days have it and love it 😀 only thing don't really sell there stuff craft stuff and sell it also gets u more money. The shop sells a suitcases, is a storage, buy alot and place them around the town so u have lots of storage. If u built a book shelf you have storage, is better than the other ones looks nicer in the house, after had a lot of materials demolished my house, has to be empty if not u will loose all the stuff. Than I built a nicer house in a new place, after unlocked all the areas.

[@cardsandcraftcottage]

Like your how to videos. I always learn a lot 😌 If you can I would like more info about how to get started.

[@dreakrtolica]

Thank you Patrick! This was so helpful and eye-opening. I'm still in very early days of the game and I need some direction!! LOL Please do more videos like these.

[@christophechouinard7619]

The rod... Oh my lord thank you!!

[@tinakeil1950]

Definitely al good tips had a few I didn’t know. Thanks for helping me progress. I only play animal crossing have bought a few games none worked out for me. I’ve only played for a couple hours but so far loving it. This game might actually be the one that makes me play two games instead of just one.

[@moohHa22]

How did you get a map?? I’m on console, have completed a lot of merit badges etc. Still no map? Edited to add: another tip - in the mines if you don’t have enough lamps, pick one up and place it ahead of your character (sometimes you can run forward with your character whilst moving the lamp). I cleared the whole first parts of the mines with 1 lamp because I forgot to make more.

[@chucktrow8577]

Great tips. Hope the livestreams continue.

[@Xyltharra]

The cupboard is similar to the shed.. I don't think I can sell my villagers things, I will feel bad

[@leet6174]

Very helpful. How did you get the dresser in your inventory? Did you steal it? I’m about 8 game days in, no recipe for storage furniture. More tips please.

[@missymae4life]

This is super helpful content! I just downloaded & started playing this yesterday morning on ps4, loving it so far, love the tip about keeping the storage cabinet in your inventory cause I was wondering if you could do that or not & was going to try myself since I stole erm borrowed the inns small dresser to put in my house for extra storage lol hope you keep putting out some more tips & tricks

[@rhiannon1117]

Have been really enjoying this game BUT now there's a bug that tells you that there's a connection error. I can't download free creator items or save any of my designs, which I need to do to complete a merit task to unlock more items. As of 10/13 they posted that they're working on it so now all I can do is grind for coin because I need the merit to progress. ☹️ And I did check and my internet connection is fine. Hope they fix it soon

[@elle_na619]

To solve this issue you actually has to closed the game and restart the game to use the train (to go to creator shop town), it’s annoying that every time I want to use the train I have to restart again 😂 but it is the bug on the switch apparently. Would be nice if the developer fix it ofcourse

[@alikupo]

I definitely need to get this game especially after watching the streams, it grew on me. Thanks for the tips! :)🧡

Some great tips here! I didn’t realise I had to go into the building on the left when I visited the city! Also I’m really enjoying this game so far especially all the furniture customisation. I feel it’s a shame that this game hasn’t had the best reviews because I honestly think it’s very good and the fact that it was made by one person is just amazing to me.
