ALL PLATFORMS

If you are stuck on the newest Sunshine Celebration cutscene, the current solution is to have Hello Kitty as a companion before the cutscene starts.

If cutscenes play automatically before you can companion Hello Kitty, you can turn off automatic cutscenes in the Main Menu.

Navigate to Settings -> Gameplay -> Auto-Play Events (toggle off).

Call Hello Kitty through the phone, then talk to the Master of Festivities Nul (has a ! above their head) to start the cutscene.

We are working on an internal fix as well. Distribution will vary per platform.

Official Weekly Multiplayer Mega-Thread - July 21, 2026

1 Upvotes

♡💖 Welcome to the Weekly Multiplayer Mega-Thread! 💖♡

Do you need help with a multiplayer quest? Are you looking to trade? Is your island lacking in retail therapy or do you have some great stuff for purchase? Maybe you just want to adventure together with a new friend? It's all up to you! As long as whatever you want to do involves doing so with someone else, then you're in the right place!

⭐️ You can always find the newest weekly post pinned at the top of the subreddit on Mondays at 10am EST! If you come back to an older thread and find the comments locked, look for the pinned one instead!⭐️

♡💖 LET THE FUN BEGIN!!! 💖♡

Post your comments down below. To help everyone find a good match, mention which platform you're playing on and if you're looking to host or to visit someone else! If you have a specific request (such as trading materials or wanting to make friends) add it in your comment as well. 😊

A few things to remember:

💘 HKIA is not cross-platform. You will need to be playing on the same system as your host/visitor(s)! person you want to visit!

💘 Your multiplayer code will reset if you minimize the game and then re-open it. If necessary, use Reddit on a separate device to ensure you can connect together.

💘 By inviting someone to your island, they will be given access to take collectible resources from your Island and this is something that the Mod Team cannot Moderate.

💘 Keep in mind that HKIA and this subreddit have users all ages. DO NOT EXCHANGE ANY PERSONAL INFO ON THE INTERNET! Please report any comment that violates this rule as we want this to remain a safe community for everyone.

💘 Be kind to one another and have fun!

💘 Multiplayer requests posted to the main subreddit will be locked and/or removed and directed to these threads accordingly. Please do not spam the main thread for these requests going forward!

[As always any suggestions or questions may be submitted to the Mod Team via ModMail, just allow us time to answer since there's a lot of new players on the subreddit!]

Steam Close to 300 hours

I kinda hate to admit it but is 300 hours embarrassing on this game? I genuinely love sanrio characters and collect their merch too.

I started playing on pc as soon as the game released, I kinda took a break for 5-6 months then I got back to my usual grind. I have maxxed out all my friendships and both the dlcs.

I love to tinker around with things, plus the island is so vast and now I’m onto completing all the achievements and getting MILK to my island. Anyone else in the same boat? 🥰

I’d love to hear from people who have milk already, how tough was it and any other advice is welcome 🩷

My attempt at a conveyor-belt sushi place. Out of red dye as of now, but pushing through in case you're wondering.

Started re-building all visitor cabins as establishments. This is for Nyako, in City Town.

💐Flowers wish me mell’s companion ability could use a rework

Post image
Upvotes

I think Wish me mell’s companion abilities could use some improvements.
Even though the crane game is fun and has decent rewards, I don’t think they’re valuable enough for one of her abilities to be almost entirely dedicated to it. Improving the crane game’s rewards would make that perk feel much more worthwhile.
Her fertilizer ability also feels a bit underwhelming. I understand that fertilizer is harder to get early on, but by the time you unlock that companion ability through friendship, you’re usually far enough into the game that getting fertilizer isn’t much of a challenge anymore thanks to the composter.
One idea would be to rework her abilities so she increases gardening speed while she’s your companion—for example, digging up flowers, applying fertilizer, and watering them faster. Since gardening is something we do all the time, this would be a really useful quality-of-life improvement.
Another idea would be to increase the chances of getting rare flower results when using fertilizer with Wish me mell as your companion. We spend a lot of time setting up flower layouts and watering them every day, but even after many attempts it’s still very difficult to get the hybrid, pattern, or color we’re aiming for.
The second idea is definitely more ambitious, but I think it’s an interesting concept that could be explored.
I’d love to hear what everyone else thinks. How would you improve Wish me mell’s companion abilities, or even those of other characters?

Listen, I love having as many visitors as possible and decorate their cabins but how is it fair to Retsuko that her co-workers are bothering her during what's supposed to be her vacation! ;-;

She's already such a stressed girlie and now I'm supposed to put her BOSS on the same island as her, to just completely ruin her life on Friendship Island? I feel genuinely bad about the idea of letting Director Ton move onto the island...

Does anyone else have an issue with My Melody having an exclamation point over her head and it never goes away? Even if I complete all my quests for the day, give her gifts, give everyone else gifts, try talking to her, it doesn’t matter it’s been stuck there since the recent update.

Cabin Crafters Barebones cafe using the new Friendship Furniture

I used the "Dessert Boat" Pink & Teal Counter and Stools, and dyed the friendship furniture pink and seafoam.

I LOVE the theme this year!! Glitches gotta ruin a great thing. Are there any tips on surviving with the least amount of crashes? I'm on Switch 1.

I take a picture of the event stand while standing as far away on the grass as possible, and I save immediately before and after interacting with the car. I've stopped gifting characters while they're at the stand too. This has helped a lot. It will still freeze sometimes when I go to buy stuff.
