“dropped” items.

I think I’m gonna stop trying to understand the rating system and just learn to live with 4 stars lol

which in turn brings down your HHA score

Like I said in an earlier reply; I made an outlet mall, and I can’t really put anything out unless I know people are coming that day, which means i have to keep the diys in my house... the whole reason i made the stalls was to “store” the diy’s scott-free, lol.View attachment 252662

It looks super cute! I'm not super worried about HHA yet. I got the silver trophy this morning and my rooms are a hot mess of DIYs and crafting materials on the floor. I feel like I still don't have a ton of furniture options to make my rooms cute, so the house is definitely a work in progress.

I also have tons of weeds (I planted more than 140, but a lot more spawned since then) and it didn't change my 4 star rating at all.

I think that any natural "items" won't count against the rating. Branches, stones, weeds, mushrooms, fruits...

I had so many weeds that my money-tree spot stopped spawning for a couple days. I was at 4-star and still getting "you need more scenery/fencing" messages. I weeded enough to get the money-tree spot back, but I still have loads of weeds. Definitely too many to count. I even put some on the beach (along the river mouths and in a few other spots) because I like the way the weeds look so much.

It's seasonal. I'm in the southern hemisphere, so they started to appear since May 1st. Also, the balloons are dropping mush DIYs as well. There's something about maple leaves too, but I haven't seen it yet.

Weeds definitely count against your rating, that was proven with datamined information and the companion guide. You are given points based off how many objects, furniture, trees, flowers, and bridges/inclines you have. Branches, stones, and possibly mushrooms don't count against this. Weeds and dropped objects start counting against your score once you have more than 15.

I think this is strange because before I reached 4 starts, I had no weeds on the island. I had stored all of them.

Then, I started planting weeds and trees (lots of them), didn't add external furniture and got the 4 star rating. I do have a bunch of flowers scattered around and a few incomplete grids with some that I'm trying to breed, but the amount of weeds I have is probably the same or higher the the number of flowers.
