What are your Island vistor rules?

[Prisma]

Curious if people have rules for people who come by their islands! Since this game is different from new leaf in a sense where you need to be best friends to chop trees,dig,you can’t “destroy” flowers by running technically etc. c:

Honestly I don't have rules since I very rarely can look after the visitors since I only open my island when I am working. What I do is I prepare my island for a possible ransack lol. all the hybrids I care for I put them in fenced place, same for items, put in storage. And if there are fruits that I need to sell, I shook all the trees. After I prepared my island, I finally open the gates and let people go wild while I go away to work lol.

If I let fruits up or flowers, it means I don't care for them and people can pick them up.

I love that people no longer can destroy flowers or trees. Makes me very relaxed and enjoy the game also let visitors enjoy themselves on the island. Don't have to keep an eye on them.

-No shredding my flower fields with your devil legs, or plucking them.
-You can shake trees but pick up everything!
-Don't challenge me to a thumb wrestling contest.

It's just the basic shenanigans.

Don’t be big doogie head

I don't really have any rules but I think it's polite to ask before you shake trees/buy limited items/take flowers etc.

 

[moonolotl]

My only rule is common sense & ask before you do things I guess
Not really a rule but i also like to know where my visitors are, I get a bit paranoid if i cant see them lol

Oh, I'm planning the city in a way that everything that I don't want to be touched will be protected in some way.

Hybrids will be fenced, my main orchard is already fenced (there will be an unprotected orchard of every kind of fruit, but I'm making sure everything can be redone if someone start wreaking havock before I can kick them), and when it comes to external furniture, there won't be a lot of things available and what's going to be out there is already on my catalog, so it wouldn't be a permanent damage should someone steal something.

I dont usually invite strangers over to my town so I don't really have rules. All I ask is that people ask me before they run off. I dont usually mind if people grab fruits or plants, I just wanna know before they disappear.

I have found that people can't really pick anything up unless it is fruit, bait, or flowers in a vase if it is displayed outside.

Yeah, only people in your best friends list would be able to pick the items. However, I would advise to protect your flowers and trees, as they could still be plucked off/chopped down.

Yeah. Luckily, I don't find that to be too bad since they can't chop down the whole tree. But I can see how others would find it annoying.

 

[goro]

Just the usual stuff, really.
Don't take/pluck any flowers or run over flowers that are important to the scenery.
Fruit's all fair game as long as you ask.
Please tell me when you're leaving.
When it comes to strangers, a tip of bells or NMT is appreciated but not required.
Also, be gentle with Dobie. He's old.

 

[Hanif1807]

Don't take anything from my island without my permission, be kind and friendly with me and my villagers, and tell me when you're leaving. That's it

 

[BigBadButterfree]

I don't really have stranger's over, but when my friends come over I tell them one thing:

I like the look of weeds, leave them.

 

[Lunica]

They are free to take stuff but they should tell me what and where so I know beforehand!
Like for example if they wanted to take my roses I have a patch for cross breeding vs a patch where I just grow for crafting wreaths.
I can give them the ones from the patch for crafting, but the ones for cross breeding not all of them I can give.
Same with the limited items in my Nook's Cranny.
And who knows maybe I can help them out with their wishlist or give them more variants or items?
They miss out on a conversation and future goodies and future visits to my island if they are rude.
Also free to catch any bugs, fishing etc since those are random generated and respawnable.

 

[Chris]

Haven't felt a need to make any. I've only played with existing friends and everyone's respectful of each other.

 

[Krissi2197]

For my friends? No rules. I trust them enough not to make a mockery of my town.

For traders?

- Ask me if you want to go shopping
- All trades take place at the airport gate
- No picking flowers/fruits/picking up stuff on the ground unless told they could
- Don't talk to any villager in boxes

Just simple common courtesy things.

 

[Scrafty]

i've let lots of strangers in my town and i haven't seen the need to have rules. even if they run over my flowers, they grow back anyway. restricting the axe and shovel is one of the best changes they've made

 

[Lazaros]

if you take my green mums, i take your life.
(and boot you out without warning.)

 

[jenikinz]

I don't really have any, I like this new system they have where people can't take stuff or destroy anything beyond repair.
