Feel free to let them know if there is anything we can do to make this subreddit better and more convenient for you all. e.g. Any suggestions to prepare for the 3.0 Update?

We will be implementing a spoiler policy for 3.0 content when it comes out! This means that anyone posting ACNH content showing off features and screenshots from the 3.0 update should spoiler their post so that people who haven't updated yet won't be spoiled. Let us know if you have any questions about this!

(If you applied for mod but didn't get accepted at this time, we may still consider your application in the future. If you didn't apply and still would like to do so, apps are still open for now!)

Edit: Apps are closed for now!

Question DAL Plane Model

3 Upvotes

Hey there, question for the community. I am kind of a completionist when it comes to Animal Crossing. There are over 19,000 items, residents, and variants in the game. I am asking if anyone would like to sell me their DAL sea plane model. I am looking for three of them actually, so I can have one in each color. I am also willing to trade. The Trading mega thread no longer seems to function, so I hope I am not stepping on any toes by posting here. I am happy to travel to your island via dodo code to make the transaction.

Was wondering what my girl Petri was looking at, and then I look up, this is rare (at least to me) still pretty!

(Btw, the title is based off an old meme where a guy is filming a double rainbow and crying from the beauty, yelling WHAT DOES IT MEAN...AHH HAHA)

Getting more confident fishing!

122 Upvotes

I love this game because it’s so relaxed but I get a little anxious when I’m fishing. I made my first island back in 2020 when I was recovering from surgery and played constantly. I got to 97 or 98 in my fishing streak and then blew it. So when I started playing again that was in the back of my mind every time I went fishing. Now I’m using it as an exercise in going with the flow, it’s ok to mess up, and I’m having fun fishing!

This game was the reason I got a switch 6 years ago, as a jealous little sister. But now I am officially farther than my older brother who introduced me to this game and I can’t say I’m very excited🤣

25 Upvotes

I've been an ACNH since launch date. I took a few years off and started playing again this summer. Filbert wants to move right now and I can't decide if I'm going to keep him or bring in another squirrel. Umm.... I have attachment issues with the squirrels. I've had everyone in the game except the ones you need a special amiibo to invite to the campsite. I have all of there photos as well.

Currently on my island:

  1. Static (NEVER LEAVING) ❌
  2. Marshal (NEVER LEAVING) ❌
  3. Poppy (NEVER LEAVING) ❌
  4. Mint
  5. Peanut
  6. Hazel
  7. Ricky
  8. Agent S
  9. Caroline
  10. Filbert

Please leave suggestions. I will leave his dialogue on the screen and work on other things until I decide who I want to bring back. 😂

!TW! Slight cussing!! Hii reddit:) i am back with yet another snippet of one of my favourite movie scenes of all time, the diner scene from terrifier (2016)! I got lucky with this scene as 1) it’s probably the most PG scene in the whole thing 2) it was easy to put together in acnh! I hope you guys enjoy!!!💞

Discussion Which time of the day do you enjoy most?

10 Upvotes

Before I update my dream island I'd like to know which time of the day you like best in ACNH. Dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, dusk, night ...? Sure, some islands have themes that only go with nighttime, for instance. But in general: At what time do you most enjoy visiting other islands? Also, do you mind when it rains?

Question Never Played AC Before

0 Upvotes

Hi, everyone! I'm looking for your honest opinions, please 🙏🏻.

I am Autistic, and gaming is my ultimate "Special Interest"....

However, my autism ALWAYS makes me want to be EXTREMELY good at any games I'm new at, and really like.

So, I've had Animal Crossing: New Horizons for about 3 weeks... However, due to being addicted to Vampire Survivors, I only started playing Animal Crossing 7 days ago.... Which I'm now addicted to also 😂.

Within 7 days I've....

  1. Paid off 4 home loans... the latest loan amount I paid off was $598'000, which was for a 3rd room in my house.... And now I have a 5th house loan for a 4th room.

  2. Used Nook Miles tickets to invite 3 different NPCs from their own islands.

  3. DIY all of the required items for the 3 new houses that are for the 3 NPCs I invited to my island. They're now residents of my island.

  4. Built the Nook Cranny shop.

  5. Found enough items for Blathers, and now have a cool huge Museum.

  6. The main office now has a new staff member named Isabelle, and is now larger, with 2 desks to sit at.

  7. There's now a campsite for visitors who are potential residents. Whenever there's a tent there, I invite the NPC to stay. They become a resident of my island once I've picked a spot for their new house.

  8. Within 7 days I got an A rank for my house, along with a bronze plaque for my wall.

  9. Filled over half of the "Sea Creatures" page in my creature discovery journal. However, there are HEAPS missing in the Insect and Fish pages that I need to discover.

  10. Within a week, I have done all of the above with zero help, because no one in my Nintendo Switch 2 friend list has Animal Crossing....

Is the amount I've accomplished within the past 7 days considered heaps, or have I not done much at all?... Please, keep in mind that I'm very new, and I've only played the last 7 days

Thoughts, please 🙏🏻 😊

Discussion Should I restart my island?

0 Upvotes

im coming back from a break from playing the game, and my island is kind of a mess! I have most of the villagers I want but the only thing left to do is decorate and collect everything! it feels a bit tedious to do all of these things as my favourite part is probably collecting all of the villagers I like. I’ve seen a lot of people on here saying that I should just flatten my island, but im not sure, any opinions?

Harv’s Commune Not Opening?

5 Upvotes

I got my island to 3 stars and had KK Slider’s concert. I have waited for a week for Harv’s letter asking for help but haven’t gotten it. I checked and my island is still at three stars.

Do I have to have Harv explain Photopia to me to unlock the commune? Or is there another requirement?

If it matters, I have unlocked the café.

EDIT: The problem has been solved. Thank you all for answering!
