hello! i'm ethan and i'm new here. i'm 28 and i've recently been getting back into playing new leaf on my 3ds. i play new leaf and new horizons, although i have recently restarted both saves.

i've been playing animal crossing since the release of new leaf, which my now-partner told me about (they've played it since the gamecube days). we played it from dawn to dusk for that entire summer and it holds a very special place in my heart. also i'd like to petition for the next AC game to bring back multiplayer tours and other activities!!

i have many hobbies and interests, i could go on forever, but the main ones are space/astronomy, la dispute, reading, zelda, grounded, and language learning. i also like to watch hockey and surfing, play video games, go outside, do film photography.

nice to meet you all!


secondary note - i'm wondering how the seashells and bells currencies work on this site? i'm not a big forum-user in general so i don't have much experience, i'm not sure how to build the currencies or what they are used for!
 
^-^ Heyo welcome! I feel you on the new restarts, since I had to restart my island (forgot to transfer over my island but honestly I think I like the new island more lol).
And then for the on site bells :o from what I remember the more you talk in the forums, the more bells you accrued which is actually helpful when buying from other users in the forums (like in Nook's Canny for buying general items even in game bells [IGB] within New Horizons!) And then the seashells I unfortunately don't know much on those x.x Forgot how they're used lol. But mainly the Bells are most common. I recently just came back to the site so I'm trying to relearn a lot of these things as well. c: But I hope you enjoy it here! I do know this was my favorite Animal Crossing forum, its the only forum I ever really come back to
 
I currently can't find my 2DS XL which is why I'm terrified of restarting one of my NL islands (I'm terrible. I'll just buy a new copy x.x) I'm just nervous about restarting there and making bells haha

But yeah I just started a new Island on my switch 2 instead of transferring. I'm too big of a chicken to ever restart x.x

SO WHOLESOME THOUGH q.q Honestly those memories end up so special. I think that's what makes AC such a special series, to be honest with you.

I only currently have Apples and Oranges on my island, but do either of you need some? I'm happy to share if you guys do. <3

i will forever regret resetting my original new leaf town, but i am liking this town better than my last one (i've reset twice). new horizons i'm sad about resetting, but when it came out i was hell-bent on moving to australia and i was all about it in every way possible, so i made my town a southern hemisphere town. as time went on, i played less and less because the seasons never matched what i was used to and just made me sad...i didn't want halloween in the spring lol. i have since moved on from my australia dream (it is now norway), and i decided to reset the town so i could have the seasons that i'm used to. i hate resetting because i loved all my villagers i had, but i did manage to save most of the furniture stuff that i couldn't live without by plopping them on my partner's island. at least i'm not having to start -fully- from scratch..and i have an amiibo spoofer, so i'll probably use that to get my villagers back :D

thank you for the explanation about the bells! i noticed it going up as i posted, but i wasn't sure what they were used for. i'll save them up in case i ever need them for something.

i feel you, i would also just buy a new copy if i could honestly :P that's one of my biggest gripes about new horizons...that all the save data is stored on the console rather than the cartridge, so you're locked into one island unless you want to get a second switch...even more annoying that they can't at least let you have different save files or something. congrats on getting a switch 2 though!! how are you liking it?

yeah animal crossing has been very special to us both for a long time! to this day i have no clue how we stared at the tiny DS screen for that many hours a day, for that many days in a row, but man it was such an incredible summer. i look back at it fondly, now that i'm 28 and trapped in office hell.
thank you for the fruit offer! i managed to save a little of each fruit on my partner's island before resetting, so i believe i have them all still. i'm happy to share some of what i have if you need the others though!!
