generally i do all my chores for the day then work on fixing up my island;; got terraforming recently so i just landscape and decorate until i get a little tired of it
i walk along my beaches to check for any seashells/the occasional diy bottle, reorganize my pockets, water my flowers since i usually forget up until last minute and then call it a night ;u;
For the first couple of weeks I would go into my tent/house, change into pjs and 'go to bed' before I ended the day. Now I just save and quit whenever really, I try and tidy my inventory up a bit but sometimes forget / cba.
I usually stop late at night when I'm too tired to play anymore, but I do try to finish the task I assigned myself before logging off. Lately I've been putting together my residential area, so I tend to finish the yard/area before quitting.
I really don't have a solid way of finishing my play sessions on my island. I either complete a few more nook miles + achievements, walk around my island, or talk to my villagers and call it a day.
when i'm not lazy, i go home and actually put my character in her bath towel wrap outfit, stand under the shower head and go through the whole routine ahahaha. then i go to the kitchen and use the microwave/gas range as if im actually cooking. wrap up the whole thing afterwards by putting my pjs on and jump into bed. save the game and exit after.
but when i am lazy, i just leave her wherever she is LMAO. save my game and exit there.
all these cheeky comments saying they turn their switch off. jokes on you i foRGET to turn my switch off bc i'm usually doing something else and get distracted and that's how i end (who knows how much of my playtime is my chara standing quietly while my switch waits to go into sleep mode)
I generally play in the afternoon as villagers are out and about. I did play at night a few times to catch Wisp but he always gives me furniture that I already have so I stopped! I just save and quit where I'm standing. Did try to change into PJs, jump in bed the first few days I had the game but afterwards I got too lazy to do that haha
If I’m finishing up at night, I’ll put her in her jammies and tuck her in bed. Otherwise, I just save and quit with her standing wherever she happens to be when I decide I’m done
