I agree that I think the big aspect is just pushing through the first couple of weeks and seeing if you start to get more attached over time. It won’t happen instantly, especially if you had a different island that you already got used to. I haven’t reset, but I know that when I used to make...

I’ve had two surprise visits and one requested visit so far. The surprise visits only wanted to spend time in the main room. The requested visit (animal with a thought bubble hanging out near my house) wanted to visit other rooms and followed me around. I haven’t figured out the frequency...

My routine has gotten longer, and I don’t have time to get through all of it every day. Before, I would log in, collect my nook miles, water my pumpkins and pick them if ready, sell them if the shop was open, and look for fossils/say hi to villagers/do a few other things. Now, I’ve added...

I want to gradually make homes for all of the villagers, but I doubt I’ll actually finish. I enjoy decorating homes, and find it relaxing, so I plan on working on a few houses per week as a fun outlet. Right now, it takes me about an hour per house, and that’s with a yard + one base-sized room...

I can’t see myself resetting or flattening my island. I tend to get attached to my save files in most games, and hardly ever delete them. (I usually start extra saves instead, though that isn’t practical in this case with one island per Switch, plus I still have plenty to do on my first island)...

Over the weekend, most of my time went into HHP. However, I start my day with my standard island routine (which has gotten longer with the update), and I haven’t had time to play more than that during the week. So I tend to play the main game for a set length of time every day, and then any...

If you press the minus button to save and quit, it’ll save your progress, and when you load the game again, you’ll be back on your island. When you revisit the archipelago, the client and Niko will be waiting to take you back to the build site and let you continue where you left off.

It may have installed automatically. When you launch the game, what version is listed? If you have the free update, it should say 2.0.0 (or something similar). My game also shows a little house icon next to the version number, which might be for the HHP paid DLC (though if you’ve never played...

I’m on my second house (first one with a yard after the Eloise tutorial), and it feels worth it so far. It’s essentially the HHD game, which I enjoyed, plus some connectivity to your base island. Based on my HHD approach and how things are going so far, I’m guessing I’ll spend an average of an...

I haven’t TT’d at all in ACNH as it is (don’t really like changing my Switch clock, and the main things I would normally do it for are holidays, but I’ve had more time on holidays than usual because my normal family gatherings have all been cancelled throughout the pandemic). I’ve been enjoying...

I’ve been having this issue since the start. I’ve only ever let one villager (my random camper) move out. I grew too attached to everyone else. Having an extra two slots would help, and with only one human player, I definitely have the space. That said, I’m sure I’d get attached to my new...

I went with night owl. I’m always rushing to log in before Nook’s closes, and I often get home too late during the week, so I’m hoping it’ll help a little. I’m still a little unsure about the details of all of the ordinances in this game and how they compare to ACNL, though, as the description...

Biff, who was one of my original starter villagers from launch, came over. His house also happens to be closest to mine, although I don’t think the game takes that into consideration.

Nope. I found out that recipe cards could now be stored, which I hadn’t expected, so I ended up cleaning up my right first floor room that was covered in them. Then one of my villagers came over. I passed a Night Owl ordinance, which was on my to-do list, but never got around to upgrading my...

I still have both of my starters, Biff and Canberra. I’d liked Canberra in ACNL, and I’m fond of hippos like Biff, so when I got them as my starters at launch, I decided they were staying for the foreseeable future. I tend to get attached to my villagers though, so I hardly ever let anyone move...
