PSA: Don’t buy star fragment trees!

[Altarium]

I'm... obsessed with them ;_;

 

[Patomonya]

Appreciate the heads up! These do really look pretty and I hope a legitimate way to obtain them is introduced in the future.

 

[Rubombee]

They look so nice though although it can damage the game, looks like one of the trees that were edited by hacks in NL.

You've got me curious :0 What kind of trees were hacked in back then?

 

[BungoTheElf]

Oh my god those are gorgeous.......... Too bad they're hacked though cuz I would totally have those in my town if they were real

 

[wearebap]

Those looks awesome but damn it’s a shame that you need to hack the game to get them!
But now I wonder, if I visit someone that has those trees, would my game just combust or? Lol

[Blueskyy]

These would look good on the cliff where my little telescope is. I’ll just stick to having fragments scattered on the ground around it for now.

 

[Krissi2197]

They look really pretty... Shame that they aren't legit.

 

[Bcat]

This would be an awesome use for the golden shovel since planting bell trees is something you can do with any shovel now.

 

[Alicia]

Those are really cool looking, I didnt even know these existed, hacked or not.
Saw the title and thought star fragment trees?? I see why people would want them, but thank you for the warning!

 

[Saaga]

So these fake trees are made by people
and not Nintendo, meaning there is no actual star fragment tree in the game, just a hacked money tree model changed to a another thing. Yeah, like with any hacked or shady item that has never been seen before until now I would suggest caution. Thanks for the heads up, didn’t know about this until now.

 

[Underneath The Stars]

such a cute concept though, i wish we could put decors on trees

 

[soomi]

Star fragments trees? Man so much wild stuff happening these days lol.

Side note: I wish they weren’t hacked. So cute

 

[OLoveLy]

They are so pretty at night !

 

[Aliya]

omg these are super cool! thanks for the heads up though. I wish these were legit because I'd probably have them all over my island

 

[Luella]

Could you imagine cherry blossom star trees at night? Omg my brain bleeds from the potential beauty.

Who says they corrupt your file?

They are not known to corrupt your save, but it could still be dangerous to have things the game never meant to exist lurking in your save file. Maybe one day Nintendo adjusts tree code and something goes wrong with these things, maybe anti-cheat measures are put in and the game freaks out about you having impossible items, maybe they react badly to something like Bunny Day's leaf egg trees erroneously choosing one of these to work on, since we heard a few claims that people's money trees got turned into eggs back then.

At least until Nintendo finishes regularly updating the game, I'd personally not feel it's worth having that worry in the back of my mind.

I don’t have any sources of info but I have heard that some people are reporting corrupted save files as a result of having the trees in their town. But either way, it’s probably best not to be messing with hacked items, just in case ;w;

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 "

Ahh thanks for the info! So that most likely means they were never planned to be in the game legitimately ;w;

 

[Jared:3]

What a shame, those fragments on the trees make them look absolutely stunning but I don't want one to corrupt my save file

 

[virtualpet]

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.
