Hello! I have just restarted my island and am cloudy on some information. I have a few questions I couldn't find in the FAQ and I would so appreciate multiple people answering as the information I'm getting off Google is all over the place, so if you know, please feel free to respond with your experience.
- I would like to keep Nook's Cranny in original form. I've already read that Nook's will automatically upgrade once 30 days pass & 200k bells have been bought/sold in the store, so that's already in mind. Here is my question: If I build Nook's Cranny and never step foot in the store, will it remain that way forever? Basically, would this by-pass the "in 30 days, it will automatically upgrade"? (if I don't buy or sell in there and also don't overhear Mabel talking to Timmy and Tommy in the store about opening her own shop, that would mean 2 of the supposed requirements wouldn't be met for it to automatically upgraded, correct?) Can someone verify this for me.
- I know Mabel can visit the island even before Nook's shop opens. So my question is, if she visits my island, is the only requirement for Able Sister's to open is to spend 5k bells from her + her visiting 3 days? I'm confused if unlocking Able's has more to do with purchasing from her or from visiting Nook's once it's established to find Timmy & Tommy talking to Mable & overhearing that they want her to visit the island and sell her wares. Can someone please clarify if I basically ignore Mabel on my island, is the worst thing that can happen is not having Able's on my island? Any other ties or drawbacks from ignoring Mabel?
- Terraforming. From what I've read, to unlock this, all you need is the 3 star-rating and KK Slider performing. Does this mean there is no ties between Nook's Cranny & Terraforming? (Similarly how you can keep Blather's tent and still unlock terraforming- is this the same with Nook's?) Meaning, I can still unlock terraforming without upgrading Nook's Cranny? I couldn't find the answer to this.
- Custom's portal. So, I know with the update, you eventually can download the custom designs portal on your nook phone by purchase it in the upgraded RS through the Nookshop. Is this still possible without having Able's Sister's shop on your island? Are there any ties here?
- If I sell to Tommy and Timmy before Nook's opens, that doesn't count toward the 200k bells needed to unlock the upgrade for Nook's correct?
