PSA: Don’t buy star fragment trees!

[Rosie Moon]

I couldn’t find a thread about this already, so I hope it’s ok to post this!
I’ve seen some hype about star fragment trees being sold via Discord. They’re known to potentially corrupt save files due to them being hacked into the game; there is no legitimate way to obtain them. So if you were thinking about getting some, please don’t! They’re pretty, but not worth risking your entire save file.

wow how are those possible. they look very pretty tho!

Such a cute concept, I'm upset that they're hacked. ;;

 

[Sloom]

have they been hacked in early, like wedding season items? or are they just straight-up fake versions of actual fruit/money trees?

I really want a large star fragment tree :(

 

[Dormire]

WHAT. I WANT THESE BUT LEGITIMATE. KONPEITO TREES, MAKE IT REAL NINTENDO! QvQ

Sadly they’re hacked, which is why they’re so dangerous ;w;

I know Since they’re in the game data, maybe they’ll be added legitimately in an update? We can hope

Before clicking on this thread I was like "don't buy what"
Holy cow I did not expect this xD They do look pretty

There’s been no word from Nintendo so far about star fragment trees being added to the game legitimately
I couldn’t tell you about how they function as I haven’t encountered one in the game

so I looked on discord for more info what are these trees:

"they're just money trees edited in NHSE to contain a different itemID and work just like regular money trees, meaning they can only be shaken once before turning into regular hardwood trees. yes, they're pretty much just for decoration "

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

sad that they are hacked :/

it would be so cool to have a multi-color forest of those and like a secluded spot to sit down or like turn it into a candy themed area

 

[Eevees]

They are so cute though hopefully Nintendo decides to put them in the game!!

 

[Meira]

This is the first time I've heard of it, but they're really pretty!

 

[LittleMissPanda]

They remind me of star bits from SMG

This is a really cool idea though, but it's too bad it's not legit I'd love to have a magical star forest!

 

[Rinpane]

Wow they are pretty to look at...which makes me wish they weren’t a hacked, game endangering entity. Now I know how much I want star trees to be a thing. ;^;

 

[FoxFeathers]

pity they are hacked, those would look gorgeous.

 

[Splinter]

Who says they corrupt your file?

 

[Snek]

Its such a shame that they aren't legit. I would definitely have them on my island. Here's to hoping that they add them someday
