    Do you collect villager photos?

    only my permanent villagers. i had to really work to get some of them though despite farming for friendship points equally with everyone everyday.

    Advice on visualizing decor & design before I have each piece of furniture?

    What I do is I go to a random HHP house, make the room the dimension of the room I'm thinking of in my house and I decorate it as if I'm decorating my home. Then I take screenshots and order the furniture items I need and recreate it back home. Rinse and repeat until I'm finished all the rooms...

    Resetting: How much until your "Perfect Layout"?

    I think I reset for two weeks? I was concerned with Resident Services, airport color, beach rocks and the peninsula. Secondary was getting peaches (which I got!!) and having a central secret beach (didn't get). It was absolutely like being stuck in purgatory but I was so satisfied when I...

    Pesky Dive Creature Strategies

    For fast swimmers, I stop pressing A and sneak up on them using only the control stick. Once I'm over them, I start pressing A quickly and diving. Now I never have to chase those really fast creatures.

    Animal Crossing Debate: Is Time-Travelling Considered Cheating?

    I time travel every time I play because I don't want to miss out on events, days, store hours, etc just because of work and life. I think pre-NH, people did more widely consider it "cheating" or "unfair" but they weren't necessarily against it? I think now, less people consider it cheating. For...

    How do you feel about Tips?

    I always tip at restaurants but I do think it should be optional. First of all, restaurants and corporations should just pay their workers at least minimum wage (tbh even the minimum wage in the US isn't enough to live on these days). However, I don't want to get rid of it completely because I...

    is it "Bear-doh" or "Beer-doh"?

    I've always said beer-do but now I'm second-guessing myself because he doesn't have a beard; he has a mustache and mutton chops lol. Maybe it was bear-do all along....

    Ever hate someone only to later love them?

    Not hate but I wasn't really interested in Marshal, Sherb or Dom but they really grew on me and became permanent villagers.

    I finished the Smile Isle, DIY furniture and Nook Miles for Miles! Nook Miles achievement (try to say that 5 times quickly 😂 ). I only have the all the Come Home to the Roost stamps and the last stamps on K.K. Mania, Angling for Perfection!, You've Got the Bug, and Deep Dive left. I'm going to...

    Would you ever buy an indie Animal Crossing-esque game? Or has Nintendo perfected the genre?

    Yes, I'd gladly buy an indie game with all the features of AC that I enjoy!!! Heck, I'd even shell out more money than I did for NH if it hit all my marks. I personally believe Nintendo has far from perfected the genre. Many features in NH were lateral moves or worse than in previous titles...

    Hot Take (?): This forum site is better than Nookazon when it comes to trading

    Yes, I love TBT! It's more of a community and I feel like I'm making human connections and people have a sense of responsibility on both sides. I've been both a seller and buyer on both sites and I much prefer trading on here. Sellers are usually very professional and generous. Conversely...

    Does anyone else ship their own villagers?

    I have some ships, both romantic and platonic, in New Leaf as the dialogue lends itself more to connections between villagers. Smug villagers have this one dialog about rumors surrounding themselves and another villager on your island. There's also a dialog about a male villager walking in on a...

    Happy home paradise

    As others have said, it depends! There are some exclusive items (pillars, counters, walls) and features. For me, the thing that makes it worth the money is being able to design your villagers' homes! All features that should've been included in the main game though, in my opinion...

    Thoughts on learning languages through Animal Crossing: Ideas, experiences, opinions?

    Yes! I learned a couple Japanese words from Animal Crossing, either in game or from researching about it. I looked up all of my villagers' catchphrases and I used Sherb's Japanese catchphrase in my game. It even helped me with my English! Having to input K.K. songs perfectly with the correct...

    What series are you currently watching?

    Euphoria: I desperately want this show to be good lol... It really suffers from lack of writers. I'm glad people's blinders have come off and the Euphoria High memes have taken off because I want high schoolers to know it's not representative of the high school experience. It's some...
