I feel like this should already be a thread and I do apologize if it already exists but I can't find it anywhere!
Do you time travel? What are your thoughts on it?
I was a strict no time traveler in New Leaf, but with so much focus on design in New Horizons, I on very rare occasions will skip ahead a day to speed up moving a building. Lately I've been tempted to time travel to a different season and play normally within it. Summertime allows for the most time to play, but I need those tree bounty recipes! However it feels almost sacrilege haha!
I never have because one of my favourite aspects of the game is the fact that it’s in realtime. I quite like that you have to wait for things and play throughout the year to fill the critterpedia.
I recently redesigned my whole island and it took 40 days to tear down and rebuild the 10 bridges and 10 ramps. It felt more satisfying than speeding through the process in an afternoon
I do time travel but not very often. Most of the time it’s when I miss an event. I will travel back to it since I usually work during the time they are held. I did time travel to get bugs that are available at late early morning times that I can’t play. I was having a hard time with some of the beetles.
I don't time travel when I first start the game, but after the first full year I usually do. I made an exception during the pandemic though since I worked such wonky hours that sometimes I didn't have time or the energy to log on daily or longer. So I would go back to days I missed, especially if there was an event.
Now I do it if I ordered stuff or whatever so I don't have to wait a full day when there's a 5 item limit between each different shop. Especially when I'm trying to decorate an outside part or a room and need a lot of different furniture or items that I don't have on hand. I'm not patient enough to wait for that.
