[@kwhitney5035]

I put this on for my cat to watch when I have to leave her home alone, she loves to watch the characters run around the screen ❤

[@rosebricksis]

Aw thats adorable

[@strawberrypng]

putting this on while crocheting! working on a picnic + fruit tote bag design for my shop!

[@JillianBuker]

that sounds so cute!

[@sparksby]

Omg that sounds amazing! I’ve always wanted to try crochet 🤭😍

[@Gem0420]

I'm crocheting as well 💜💜💜

[@nta4301]

I‘m also crocheting hahha currnetly working on a Nessie by moontyasha ❤

[@Roseann-lv6zr]

How did u get the storefront things so tall??????

[@iver777]

the sugarcane farm overlooking the barn is breathtaking. i’m so excited to tour the DA

[@sparksby]

If everything goes well it’ll be up next week 🤭🥹

[@iamc4mii]

I was just looking for another long play of your to watch after I finished the other two! I'm so glad you're still making more-- I really enjoy them. I hope you continue to do them :) I love watching them while I play animal crossing. They're so encouraging for decorating, and it's nice to see someone else's thought process when they're decorating as well! It makes me feel validated for switching things around so much when I see other people do it HAHA it's so easy to get caught up in the "perfection" of speed-builds, because it feels like it takes no effort for them to pump out an idea, but in reality it takes a lot of time and dedication. It's really nice to see that part of the building process:)

[@sparksby]

Absolutely agree! Sometimes it’s awesome to see the faster progress just for quick inspo, but it does really change our perception of how long this game takes!! 🥺

[@anneelzinga6536]

I love how much Rudy loves the mushroom forest. I know its annoying to have villagers there while decorating, but its so cute that he was there almost every day you time traveled to ❤

[@katie_bud93]

I prefer the videos with your voice. It helps my anxiety to hear you talking through your process when I'm home alone or when I'm unable to quiet my thoughts when I'm trying to sleep.

[@MaxLucasPiano]

Yeah!

[@latinamommy258]

Yes!

[@coco-banana-bread7684]

Agreed!

[@Frog_Beans]

Putting this on in the middle of the night with a high fever and unable to sleep. Your videos are now fever dreams to me, but I still love your channel ♡✨

[@coco-banana-bread7684]

Putting this on while having a bad mental health day. Its so relaxing! I say it often but your eye for detail is amazing, my favorite little thing is when you put the mushroom custom designs under the mush-log. It looks like the mushrooms are spreading from the log! Looking forward to the next part!

[@katil7226]

Your videos help me calm down when having a panic attack and usually watch them before going to bed and I like falling asleep to them! So relaxing!

[@sparksby]

❤❤❤

[@lorilie9997]

She does have a very relaxing voice😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@lorilie9997]

And sparksby builds some kick butt islands 🏝 i have been watching you from the beginning sweetheart 😘. I love the mushroom Forrest 🍄 idea, I would love to see a island made to look like fairies live there with all things mystical and magical.

[@lorilie9997]

With these items: leprechaun, mushrooms 🍄, butterflies, all the star fragments, all the magical items, all codes pertaining to the theme, ect ect

[@Mari-desu]

To be honest with you I was watching a scary video out of curiosity but got scared and now I'm watching your video to try and relax so I can fall asleep ❤

[@raviolifabbrioli3321]

you could not have uploaded this at a more perfect time, i was just watching your calathea nooks longplay

[@iamc4mii]

same here! I was hoping she'd post another since I already finished the other ones :,)

[@sparksby]

🤎🤎🥹

[@thowrahussein]

I’m loving the long play and the autumnal vibes on this island, your patience for everything astounds me! 😅 I’ve put this on while playing and trying my own rock garden (it took 1 hour 😩) and starting me off cooking some yummy fish stew. I think I will finish the stew with another long play, they’re so relaxing 💕

[@alliemorris249]

These videos are so great to have in the background while I'm studying and working on assignments!! Love taking a little 30 second mind break to see what you've done in the meantime of me working lol!

[@Sami-je6xv]

I love these longplay videos, very relaxing after a long day at work/crazy day at home. Also I'm so glad that you're still playing Animal Crossing and STILL creating beautiful islands. I adore all your islands, but it I were to pick one, it's (was) Hokkaido when I thought that things could not get any better than that island! And then you go and create this one! It's breathtakingly beautiful!! Thank you for all your content. ♥

[@cosygracegames]

Watching this at nighttime is chefs kiss ✨ so peaceful and lovely to play along! Very cozy, and I legitimately sad this islands coming to a close, it’s so beautiful and I’ll miss it so! Lovely long play!

[@gina1837]

I watch this longplay while studying for my last exam of this semester. I absolutely love this kind of calm and long videos for that

[@benjiAgee]

You're voice is so smoothing, it's great to sleep to! I also just found you so ill probably be watching a ton more of your vids! Keep up the good work

[@TessBre]

watching this while starting my hair care routine 😊 its so nice

[@spencerafreeman]

Love when you do long videos & looooove your long plays! Keep ‘em coming! ✨

[@_evxn]

[@BluMoon1s]

Terraforming on my island! I really love how you did your cliffs and it’s very inspiring! Finally feel motivated to move all my trees

[@brittanybarker3115]

Pleaseeeeeee keep making these. I put on your longplays to fall alseep now. (The commentary keeps my anxious brain busier, then no commentary)

[@sparksby]

Definitely will! 😌❤

[@ellazmx]

Watching this while flattening my island!

[@abigailturner1776]

currently flattening my Americana themed island to make an Alaska themed island. I felt so inspired on my Alaska cruise last year that I decided to flatten my OG island to start anew.

[@frogcellent]

these are my favorite videos!! it's like hanging with a friend :) i listen and work on my island, and also mostly while i do paperwork at work haha it turned out so beautiful

[@tamamum1]

Loved watching this as I worked on a crochet blanket 🙂

[@woodsy.crossing]

I really love this type of videos!! 😍 During this longplay i'm collecting itmes from treasure island for my new island 🤎

[@sparksby]

Omg exciting! 😍

[@WTayla]

I've currently hit a wall with my forest core island so this was brilliant for inspiration 😊 beautiful as always, so impressed that you made it look so full whilst using the smaller trees. I'm always scared to stunt them too small but you made it work! 🎉

[@brookegoins8850]

I’m watching this while working but would rather be watching while working on my island! Haha

[@laurenOP]

I'm actually in the gym 😂 working out with this in the background, it's great!

[@direwolf_2025]

I love this format. I have 2 islands I work on while this is running. Thank you!

[@livonimpulse]

I’m pushing through my work to do list with this on in the background ❤

[@chrishampton795]

I’ve been watching this video over and over while I try to design my own mushroom forest area.

[@rosebricksis]

Im speedrunning to 3 stars on my new island right now! Love watching your vids while crocheting/playing acnh!

[@alexisn.k.789]

I have watched so many animal crossing creators and your videos are by far my favorite! I’m a probation officer so I put on your longplays while doing a lot of office work during the day 🫶🏼

[@Kiwi_471]

watching this while designing my forest theme island😍

[@crispy.seaweed]

omg PLEASE more long-plays they're keeping me going rn

[@prezrez5331]

I'm working on some art homework, so this is wonderful to listen to and keep me company!

[@kaylamariee16]

putting this on while eating lunch and relaxing! will most likely end up building on my island while I watch as well!

[@moonsharky]

working on my own island as i watch this. it's really fun!

[@eitacffuc]

I just came across your videos! I started playing ACNH about a year ago, but got the game when it first came out. I've also never played an AC game before until this game. Your videos are amazing! I'm finding myself playing and having your video in the background :)

[@latinamommy258]

Im tiling my Alice in Wonderland themed island, cooking dinner and catching allergies while watching. Its super relaxing and cozy, I love it.

[@bybriana5021]

I like to watch and listen while I’m working for my job 😊

[@Moki_2126]

Ah I'm sooo excited for these longer videos 😊❤

[@shiannedominguez]

Currently making an early dinner and then we are going to clean! Love this time together!

[@seli4628]

Watching this while drawing!! It's so relaxing

[@tunnelsunshine]

Thank you SO much for having this here today. Today is one of the worst days of my life (pet related) and I came here hoping for a new long play (bc I adore these) hoping to help my brain, and alas, there is one. 🖤

[@rachelpeterhans1965]

i'm crocheting a 6-day star blanket 😊😊 love the long form videos to have in the back while crocheting!

[@sparksby]

Oooh that sounds awesome! 🥰

[@kcdprcd]

i love these videos! i put on your other longplay video while i work and it helps me stay on task. it also satisfies my acnh fix lol

[@MyWeirdNormal1]

These videos are the perfect thing to alleviate my need for noise while I’m reading. Got to 160 pages and I’m only halfway through the video

[@luccaowens]

Watching this while working on my island! I'm redoing my pathing for the millionth time! There are just so many good codes

[@sparksby]

You got this! 😍

[@snolivs]

Hihi, I never comment on KZbin videos but I just wanted to thank you for these long plays. I've had a really difficult time recently, a lot of anxiety and sleep disturbances, and your videos have really been helping me cope with the feelings and have been one of the only things to relax me.

[@sparksby]

Thank you so much for your comment, I’m so glad my little videos have helped you! Hang in there, you got this 🥺 Oh and have lots of fun streaming! 🤎

[@hazel1245]

[@How_Nerds_Play]

I love watching your channel and how you decorate. I just started my own channel and I hope it will grow eventually but I look up to you as a creator and enjoy your videos. They are always so calming. My next island I want to do a springcore or fairycore. Anyways hope you have a great day!

[@stefaniejohansen193]

[@anamericantrilogy]

I know your question was about what we were working on but I’m using this to fall asleep to haha 😅

[@Pap3rGirl]

🎉 yey so happy i found you❤

[@chrishampton795]

Have you considered keeping ‘chocolate’ eggs (sky, wood, water etc) in your pocket? Takes up one slot for stack of 30 and can eat one as needed… and not fattening lol

[@Figi_00]

i fnished my tropicore island with pastel vibes and just restarted and going for a springcore island...currently watching our videos and working on my illustrations

[@aesmiaYT]

Putting a relaxing acnh longplay video, from my Fav ac KZbinr while villager hunting for Bienchen (Goldie) 😍🥰

[@delaniesmith5469]

I am working on building out some cliffs on my island!

[@Korikocrossing2250]

I just bought a 3rd Switch for another island.😅 I want this one to be a minimalist/spring/forestcore I guess. Just want to do a simple, pretty and casual island. Sick of all the lag on my other islands. My other ones are tropicore and a European towncore.💖

[@princessbubblegum.x]

I’m currently crocheting a One Piece hat while watching this 🩷🩷

[@valleyof.daisies]

I’m catching up on some house chores, once I’m done I’ll reward myself with animal crossing😅

[@sparksby]

You got this! 👏🏻

[@christopherm4308]

Wondering if the rock spawned by the tree because you time traveled with the game open? Might've spawned near a sprout and the tree still grew because game was open.

[@delaniesmith5469]

at 33:50 thats my brain to all my thoughts... no no just remove, no need those

[@christopherm4308]

With tree stunting... ooooooo oxoxoxo ooooooo oxoxoxo ooooooo oxoxoxo ooooooo The x is the tree, the x in the middle won't grow because it needs breathing room basically on one side. ooooooo oxoxoxo ooooooo oxoxoxo ooooooo oxoooxo With the tree removed on the south side, or either north, east or west (south in diagram) the middle tree will grow. With 5 trees encompassing the other tree with no breath room (2 spaces beside it) it won't grow. Hopefully that makes sense lol.

[@HollyTheYellowSceneRabbit]

I woke up to this

[@rosiejanaeable]

Cross stitching!

[@skipskylark9525]

33:10 an oval is the word you were looking for!

[@Elenriel_]

3:00 I‘m currently doing the Paradise Planning so I can decorate and re-do my villagers homes! Ps.: Ich habe dich erst entdeckt und finde dich wirklich toll. Darf ich fragen wie du es geschafft hast, dass dein Englisch so gut ist? Keep being awesome Malin! ✨🌱

[@sparksby]

Thank you! 🥹 Ich bin in meinen Teenager-Jahren in die absolute Serien-Sucht gekommen (vor allem The Vampire Diaries und Once Upon A Time) und hab da alles auf Englisch geschaut, ich glaube das hat mir sehr geholfen 🤔🤎
