Can’t visit a random dream....

[MaxM]

Doesn’t seem like the feature has much of a point if there’s no way to visit islands without a code... But then again I felt the same way about the kiosk in able sisters about not being able to browse patterns

I suggest you go to the design kiosk and see what's changed since the update....

Now that I've discovered the design kiosk changes it makes me feel more likely that they'll add random and other options in the future.

I just found about it this morning... another thing to add to the list of why this is imo the worst ac game yet... (I still love it but the amount of things I don't like are really piling up now).

I had the max badge for dream suite visits in NL (rip phineas and your badges) as I would spend whole play sessions just visiting random people's towns. This feature in New Horizons is still nice but man does it take the enjoyment out of it...

Maybe someone who isn’t me because I Dumb can create a sort of website/tool where people can put in their Dream Address and it can be a sort of randomized database

I haven't tried it myself, but there's a site called acnhtour.com that lists different dream towns you can visit, along with various filters you can use to sort. You can sort by 'random' to see random addresses. It's not totally random because you can see all the filters that person decided to use to describe their town, but that's a good option.

Another could be to find threads on various Discords/Reddits and randomly pick addresses from there.

I know it's not exactly a perfect randomized system, but is an option.

I know this is an older thread, but I wanted to let everyone here know that I developed a simple + cute randomizer for Dream Addresses! I loved the feature in New Leaf. The link is in my signature so it doesn't violate any forum rules. We have gotten some traction and are expanding the library but I would love for more people to check it out and submit their DA's! I am having a hard time getting the word out about it so if you like it please feel free to share!

We can’t visit random dream towns in NH like we could in new leaf. I always loved visiting the random ones. It honestly sucks that you HAVE to have a dream address.

You're welcome to visit my dream. There are four fully upgraded & decorated houses, my museum is 100% complete and I have sunken waterfalls. (DA in signature.)

The free ACNH.Guide app recently updated their random mystery island generator and now it works great with lots of options: tells you which villagers are on the island, island name, and dream code

I actually made a thread about how I thought the "random dreams are all starter towns" problem would be solved by delaying the release of the Dream Suite. I was actively hyped for random dreaming for that reason.

I'm really excited about the Dream Suite as well, don't get me wrong. That doesn't change that it's annoying that they removed features I was looking forward to. And apparently at least one that you would prefer they had kept in.

I think you're missing the point. Finding a DA is not hard, but it involves making choices. Making choices when you don't care is a strangely laborious process. How should I arbitrarily pick a code? Sometimes I just wanna zone out and visit random towns. I don't think that this complaint warrants an eye-roll in response.

there are multiple randomizer sites out there. Yes, it is not truly random, because people have to manually upload their dream codes. But having a dream code at all is also not totally random, you have to choose to have one.

using the randomizer also solves the problem people mentioned, if the random islands being empty/ abandoned.

Random Dream Code Tool | Crossing Channel

Are you missing the random dream feature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? This dream island code tool will give you a random island to visit and explore!

crossingchannel.com

the randomizers will be better and better the more codes they have, so please put yours in!
Side note - I wish we could search island codes by villager! Sometimes I want to find islands with villagers I have never encountered/ am interested in meeting.

(Edit: whoops! I got tricked by this being an old convo! Sorry! Still would love to be able to find islands by villagers they have/ ones they don‘t have...)
