PSA: About Star Fragment Trees (updated!)
- Thread starter Dormire
- Start date
I'm sad because these trees are actually super pretty :c Unfortunately there's a difference between legal and illegal items here. 
(in my def the wedding stuff is "legal" but not "legitimate" until june. wedding stuff shouldn't corrupt your save but these illegal items definitely can)
edit: on second thought, it's probably better not to provide information on how these are sold.

There's pictures and tiny bit more info in this post.
They are Money Trees with modified item ID. For example, I will change the bells into Star Fragments or gold nuggets' item ID.
They are not legitimate trees.
wow, those are SUPER cute. not cute enough to have your game ruined though. would be nice if nintendo adds legit versions of those in the future though!

Duping glitches are not on the same level as those other things lmao
Man I had no idea people were that desperate to have K.K. Slider’s stool apparently as well? This whole hacked game thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I guess If a person wants to ruin their own game ok but since it’s like an STD thanks to online play, it’s pretty shameful.
I'm reminded of people who have experimental/new beauty procedures that turn out wrong half the time.
Just say no to hacked items, kids. Maybe if this game had a backup system, but it doesn't. Don't let the past 9 weeks be wasted.

거기 너 i fancy you
yikes, i've been telling my friends don't get them!! i don't think they did anyway. YET...
anyone thinks nintendo would just let us put decors on trees (aside from wintertime) to prevent things like these? lol i doubt it, but imagine AAAAH

I first thought; "Hey, if people are willing to risk it for their own game, fine." but now that I've been aware of people trying to plant them in OTHER people's towns? I'm legit scared lol. I'm normally not too upset about hacked items because- hey- if people want to risk their game files, so be it, it's their choice, but when it puts others who don't want any part in it at risk, I get irritated. I hope this doesn't happen to someone and they have their file corrupted...
On the other hand... they are so friggen beautiful and I wish they were legit... It's kind of painful they're not real.

Thank you for bringing this to light! I saw someone looking for this in a discord chat and I was surprised I hadn't seen a star fragment tree
before and was gonna try and look for it online. So glad I hadn't gotten around to it yet!

To clarify, some people are willing to seek out these trees but there can be overly excited friends or aquaintances who would want to share them to unsuspecting friends. This would be unintentionally griefing someone. Not exactly malicious (or unless the planter knew the risks yet didn't tell the host then that's intentional griefing).
This is probably a less destructive "seeding" since it's not going to brick your game instantly, just causes dead cells or could get your save file corrupted if a new patch rolls out or be autodetected by some sort of anti-cheat system (I'm not sure if Nintendo will patch to detect invalid money trees like these but we'll see.)

Omg this is so horrible! Hacked items although look pretty, but definitely not worth to corrupt your precious safe file. Thank you so much for the information.
wait go on.. Ive never heard this and im interested
Hacked switches will definitely be banned for sure. People who would go online with invalid items should be autodetected but I guess not yet since everyone's running around scott-free and extorting people with irl money or high amount of NMT for it. Super scummy as hell oof.
