Hi! So, like the title says, I’m new! To the forums, at least. I’ve played AC games since the original (American version, at least) and the only one I’ve never played in PC. My name is Serabee, though my main AC character’s name is Cat (I have a whole backstory that she grew up in a town of only humans, but always loved animals, and when she got the chance to move to a town of animals she jumped on it… I can never be satisfied with a character unless they have a full backstory). If anyone is interested at all, I’m 28, have a MFA in creative writing, and was working as a reading tutor for 1st-3rd grade until… well, you know. I’m also autistic. My hobbies include video games (duh), musicals, animals, and horror movies (also my preferred genre for writing!)
(note- feel free to ignore the above and only answer my questions if you're not interested XD)
Anyway, also like my title says, I have some questions! So far, I’ve only connected with my RL BFF in this game, and she just stopped by my island and gave me some fruit (and I later mailed her some items I had that she didn’t). I mainly came on here because I’d love a chance to not only talk about ACNH, but trade some items! So, here we go, I’ll number them to make it easier:
1. So. My first question is in regards to item trading. I know you can visit islands and drop items there, does the owner of the island have to drop the items BEFORE the other person visits? Or while they’re there? And can they take items off of furniture? For instance, if I set a stack of peaches on a stall, can a visitor pick them off of the stall? Or do they need to be on the ground? …Or am I just 100% off in how this works? Also, do you need to be friends with someone to do this, or can you just connect through a code?
2. Going off of that, trading flowers. I have a bunch of purple pansies (they’re my native flower) and I’d LOVE to trade them for some purple windflowers. Would I need to visit someone else’s island to plant the pansies? Could I do that without being best friends (I know you need to do that to dig, but I’m not sure about planting)? Then, would the other person have to visit me and plant the flowers? Or, again, am I totally wrong? I should note that I’d love to trade the actual plant if possible, not just the tops you use for crafting (I mean, I’m never gonna use all these purple pansies, and I’d love a consistent source of purple windflowers)
3. Does time travel affect visiting someone else/them visiting you? I time travel where I play through a few in-game days per day, and I’m wondering if it matters if my island is on the 19th of June (like it is right now), if the other person’s is on the 12th (or whatever current day it is)? Also, I know some people get judgy about time travel… I’m not looking for judgment, just an answer to my question, please! I’ve time travelled since the first game and it’s part of the game for me.
4. Last question, just a quick one. I've seen the phrase "in boxes" tossed around in regards to trading/selling villagers. I just wanna clarify, that means the day they're in their house, about to leave, and packed, right? That's when someone else can visit your island and get them to move to theirs?
And... I think that's it! I may have more questions, but I'll figure them out or ask them eventually XD
