PSA: Don’t buy star fragment trees!

[Rosie Moon]

But now I wonder, if I visit someone that has those trees, would my game just combust or? Lol

I wouldn’t think so, but I’m afraid I can’t confirm nor deny. I hope not, because that would be a whole new thing to worry about when playing online

If anyone has any reputable information on if it corrupts their save files, I'd like to see it. I'm kind of interested in the star fragment trees myself and I'm not too against hacked things, but I'd like to see some actual proof of such happening.

I think it's more about erring on the side of caution. I haven't seen any horror stories about these yet either, but it's kinda new.
It's not like these are hacked in like the wedding items are, they're a hacked item (based on bell trees, I believe) - a patch or update has the potential to break them.

I would totally get this down the line if its still safe~

I heard there's these too:

Too curious, went to the discord black market.

Ah that makes sense, yeah I saw people framing it as being "this is for sure to ruin your save file", but I kind of figured that was the case.

I decided to look it up online and it looks like most people are waiting until the Museum Day Patch tomorrow to see what will happen.

More likely than messing up your save file is that Nintendo could easily change things in the code with an update or patch and make this not work anymore (at least temporarily - people might figure out a new hack). Or they could put in some anti-cheating measures.

 

[Xara]

i’ve literally never heard of those before but thanks for the heads up!

 

[moon_child]

Whoah they’re preeeeettttyyyyy

 

[Bioness]

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 :(

The fragment's item IDs were put over money trees.

They look really pretty, but I honestly doubt it would corrupt your game file. What I do think could happen though is that if Nintendo tries to fix it, they will get deleted or reverted back into money trees. Worst case scenario Nintendo may ban you from online.

Before clicking on this thread I was like "don't buy what"

And when I imagined what a star tree would look like, I imagined something like a tree from Pandora from Avatar. Glowing in the bark and leaves and stuff. The reality is cute, even if it is hacked!

But if we're gonna hack trees, hack cool trees! Beehive trees! Pitfall trees! Axe trees!!!!!

omg

I see snowflake and gold nugget trees as well. That’s nuts!

I would love a legit version of the star fragment trees, I love glowy things at night time. Hopefully we get some pretty holiday trees to scatter around our islands at Christmas time.

Just a thought: Nintendo spend a number of years working on the new ACNH, unless it's a planned future updates, it'd be a wildly popular new feature if the game would allow players to decorate their trees (perhaps requiring certain skills / when players are at a higher level / you have to really work to achieve that skill, etc)
Something that encourage longtime players to transform their islands other than the usual terraforming. also bragging rights

Thanks OP for sharing the lovely pics of these Star Fragment Trees. TIL. Really wanted them to be legit.

yeah, I would doubt it actually does anything to your game, but better to be safe than sorry i would say. knowing this game, there could be annoying or game-breaking glitches to come out of it too
and that worse case scenario is terrible for me! my switch would suddenly be rendered worthless to me because all my games are online games lol

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

Whoa, can Nintendo add this as a legit thing because that's gorgeous.

 

[effluo]

Oh wow I love them!

I always wished we could add decorations to the trees too. I’d love to hang fairy lights from them.

 

[Hedgehugs]

the thread title made me feel so stupid like at first i thought we could plant star fragments or something lmao

i need an excuse to reset so i might just go grab one for the heck of it

 

[SarahsNY]

Man, I wish I had another island or a hacked switch so I could have fun with this stuff without too much fear. I have a secondary 3ds, and decorating in unique ways only obtainable by hacking was so much fun!

 

[voltairenism]

Honestly my biggest concern is the prices for something that can be patched and just go away. People in black market basically use royal crowns as currency, from what I have seem. "But cant you dupe royal crowns?" Yeah, so they ask for like 80 crowns for each tree xD Also I saw full set of seasonal diys for a full set of trees, so it's more acessible? kdkdkd

Yeah, I saw something called 'saharah tree' too, no pic tho. It's probably just her wallpapers but I imagined three Saharah models growing on a tree

 

[LuchaSloth]

Wow...I don't even have an interest in farming the items...these trees just look neat. Hahaha.
