Question about Mom's clothing items for TTers (spoilers)

[Kindra]

Hello! So I've been TTing month by month to collect some of Mom's items. Today I've received one each of Mom's sweater, Mom's knapsack, and Mom's apron. All three were in the yellow style emblazoned with the blue 'M'.

Spoiler: Mom's clothing items - images

Here's my question: has anybody else experienced getting all three items in one variation? Because of this I'm now terrified that these items are """island exclusives""" that will be a total pain to trade for, rather than acquire myself -- especially when the variations I actually want will likely be much more popular than the ones I currently have. Is it on a rotation where you get the first design one year, the second design the next year, and so on? I'll keep TTing through for a while tonight but if anybody does know the answer to save me the trouble, that would be so very much appreciated!

They are island exclusive, I’ve gotten all the pink/geeen mom items but from what I’ve seen they are all customizable (the furniture is at least, I turned my pink mom cake into the red strawberry version)

EDIT: sadly the clothing items are not customizable so we need to trade those
I don’t really like these island locked colors I know Nintendo is trying to get people to trade with each other but with how wonky Nintendo switch online is idk how I feel about that

UGH NOOO. I HATE that. The furniture is customisable in my experience (tea cozy, cake, pen stand, candle set) but the clothing is not. That is extremely upsetting if they have made these exclusives. Hopefully it's on a year rotation or something. I really don't like how they've made things exclusive this time around, especially when you factor in that you need an online subscription to play now. It just ... rubs me the wrong way.

I’ve only done one year for mom items so I can’t say wether it’s just one set for the clothes each year... but I’ve seen people with virtually all the colour variations of the clothes!! And furniture can be customised so no worries there

Really? I’ve been only getting the exact same color combos for clothing. Maybe it does change yearly??

Yeah I’m not 100% but someone on a discord has multiple of all colours that they’re always selling! So maybe it’s just you get one colour set a year?? I’ve got the light blue with flowers this year! Haven’t gone past 2020 tho

The green apron with the animals on it? That's actually the one I want most of all! What would you like in exchange??

Ahh now this makes me wonder if they might rotate or if they might have traded to get them? I suppose now that I've got all three, I can keep TTing through next year and see if I get any of the clothes in a different style -- it would only take one different item as evidence!

You can have it for free, or if you have any dupe diys that I don’t have I’d gladly take those lol

Yeah I’m not too sure honestly!! But I did visit them and they were a good couple years ahead!! I’ve got a list of what items you get each month if you’re interested!!

(Ah I just realised you’re swablueskies on tumblr! I loved you nl town )

Thank you so much!! And that's so sweet of you but I've got a friend with her amiibo card who is going to help me get her again when the glitch is patched. Really, thank you though! If you find her, sell her on TBT and make bank instead

For anybody curious, I TTed back from December 2020 to December 2010 and got the same variation of Mom's apron (I'm in the Southern hemisphere so the months are flipped). I'm not sure if this counts as evidence because time travelling backwards is not the same as moving forwards. It will be interesting to see which kinds I get throughout 2011 moving forward.

 

[starlightsong]

Actually these items are a little different than the nook stop stuff, not quite island exclusive but player exclusive as in, if you have multiple players on your island they all get different colors. My brother has only gotten the cute colorful quilted apron and knapsack, while my dad got I think an orange knapsack and blue apron with birds on them, and I always get the white ones whenever I TT to the days where she sends them! It still sucks, especially if you don't have/plan to have multiple characters, but it's a little bit better than everyone on your island being stuck with the same thing. I've never tried TTing forward to another year to see if they change, though.

 

[Kindra]

I've got an update!!! Just hit June 2011 and I got my first Mom clothing item of the year -- it was in a different style to the pieces I got in 2020 (and the extra apron I got when I TTed back to 2010)!!

@starlightsong, that is incredibly helpful to know, thank you!! That would be a really handy way to farm Mom's items actually ... set up additional players and TT through the year, loading up with each of them ... !!

 

[coderp]

I went straight to Summer, but hopped back 3 months for the Easter event. I got the same items in the same colors from Mom ingame.

 

[mizzsnow]

Is it possible that a different player on an island can get a different variation of the mom items?
