What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

[Shawna]

I had Resetti get rid of a lot of my flowers and I decided to switch my ordinance from the beautiful one, to the night owl one so my shops would stay open a bit later, and so my flowers would stop spreading like hell.

I discovered if you give your villagers chocolate from the vacation island you can take them there. Also had a hybridization 'class' from Lief at the school. I did not take the time to do up any vacation houses.

There was a meteor shower so a lot of 'wishing' happened. You know, I totally forgot to even look for Celeste.

I caught a tarantula and put it in storage. The museum has one so I only need two more for a model.

Fuchsia gave me her photo--again.

10 days have passed update:

I'm slowly decorating random areas around my island. Adding flowers, weeds, or just one or two items helps a lot with elevating those random places that weren't looking that bad to begin with.

I decided on using white cosmos as the main flower on my island and I really like the consistency, and that I don't have to think about which flower would fit because I already have the answer!!! This helps a lot! Of course there are few areas that have other colorful flowers but those came somehow naturally in relation to the decorations around.

And at last I finally figured out that my house needs finishing too! I had only 3 rooms finished before, now I have 4 that I'm happy with, and I'm working on the second floor and basement now. I didn't really care about completing my catalog so I'm ordering a lot of items from HHP as they are available there and not in my catalog obviously. I also craft much more now when I don't need to have materials in my pocket. It's such a massive quality of life improvement! I had so many items not crafted before

So in summary I'm still slowly working on my island and more actively decorating my house.

Today on Avalon -


Found a lost bag and returned it to Fang.

Went to Harv’s island and he explained his co-op . Started to donate for Cyrus so I can get some things recolored.

Opened the hotel and decorated the first two rooms.
Ordered done furniture with hotel tickets.

Talked to Blathers and he has an idea to add a cafe to the museum. He was going to ask his friend but he went missing.

Talked to Kapp’n and he brought me to the island that Brewster was on. We will soon have a Cafe.

I reached the useless milestone of a million Nook Miles. So I can afford 500 NMT now, I guess.

 

[UpFalls]

I finally got Hamphrey's photo! I also moved his house up to the bamboo garden spot after fixing up that area yesterday. Now the only one more stubborn with their photo is Anicotti who's been there almost as long.

I did some more vacation homes and did up the eighth room in the hotel. I chopped down several trees from behind buildings and replaced them with fruit trees from the old orchard area.

I'm enjoying Happy Home Paradise and especially the extra items for sale--it's really helping to build out my supply of stuff.

I usually only post here when I have something exciting happen lol And today something exciting DID happen! Genji has asked to move out! Meaning I can spend Saturday island hopping around for another cat, and it may be the very first time in Waddles' history where I will have 10/10 cat villagers on my island! Exciting! Hopefully I can find one of my dreamies but I'll also take any cat that I don't yet have a picture of. Other than that, CJ was on my island yesterday and I finally had 3 spare Stringfish to ask for a model of, whoo!

Awesome! Happy Hunting!!

I did not accomplish huge lots because yesterday I found a camper, Tucker, and it took the better part of the day to maneuver him in as replacement for Drake.

Then low and behold the good happenstances with photos continued and I got both Anicotti and Chrissy's photos!

I changed the time so I could get some nighttime stuff done and caught a bunch of those vampire squids, plus another tarantula. One of the hotel visitors was watching that thing and as soon as it was caught she breathed a sigh of relief. LOL

Happy sailing (or flying!) on finding one of them!

Getting Tucker to replace Drake the other day gave me the push to try to do another villager shake-up. I'd had someone thinking about moving but it was one of the wrong someones so I decided to play move-the-bubble. That was just not working in my favor and along the way Diana showed up in the campsite, and I didn't have a Snooty since Robin left so I finagled until I got her to replace Chrissy, who was the second Peppy in town. Since that happened I got brave and tried the Amiibo card for the first time and eventually got that worked out and had Chai move in to replace Skye.

I did another couple of vacation spots for Happy Home Paradise. That's making me think I've really shorted some of my villagers on their yards and need to step up my game back on the home island.

Yesterday was the day for this story actually. Genji was in boxes the day before and now left an open plot. Let me tell you lads, yesterday was the worst day. I started off my island hopping adventure with big fish island, great right? 50 islands later, still not a single cat. I kept going. I got tarantula island. A small consolation I guess.

I used up all my Nook Miles. 111 trips total. Took the whole day. Saw every single villager species with the exception of pigs, and of course cats. I was so tired by the end of it, I honestly can't believe I didn't see a single cat :c I saw 8 lions; why game, why?

Today, plot has been filled. Tad is moving in. Not the worst but definitely not a cat. Now I am starting from 0 Nook Miles again. Time to HUSTLE before the next villager wants to leave. Wish me luck guys

Oh my. This is why I've been hesitant to really start 'dreamie hunts'. Yeah, I get someone or even just a particular animal type in mind then the first villager I happen across that I like I grab. Like you say it's exhausting!

------------------

The other day I took a hint from @Shawna and set the town ordinance to not beautiful. Dealing with a few weeds, and trash while fishing is a lot easier than the flower fall-out everywhere. And today I worked on trying to clean up some of that, dug up a bunch of blue pansies and blue hyacinths near Nate's house, then covered most of the area there with the clover pattern and fixed up a few spots here and there with some flowers and a few yard things.

I took Anicotti to the vacation island so I could build her a place then got roped in to picking out a roommate for Azalea. I sure hope there's a way to split roommates because I ended up with Leopold moving in and really I did not want that but options were horribly limited. I did finally get to Anicotti's outside pizza party, though. Yesterday I made one for Hamphrey. (Maybe this is where they are when you hunt all over town and can't find them--right?)

 

[Dim]

Just been relocating some areas and I actually managed to make more room on my island by doing so. The question now is how I'm going to go about with the space and the other areas? For now, I'll just relocate Ken back to his new "Ninja Hill" I built.

This past week has been a rework on my island. It's called Ratsoland because Ratso is a term of endearment for RB (our Royal Brat cat).
Initially my husband and I were playing but 3 weeks ago he decided he "beat the game" because he has millions of bells and sees no reason to continue to work.
On the other hand, I enjoy the terraforming and gardening and DYI and talking to villagers, etc. Which means I can reorganize the areas to suit myself.
Since my island is in the South, we have moved into fall season so I wanted to get the crops in. I've managed to reduce the crop levels to about 15 per item. I decided to let each villager manage a different crop in their plot of land.
Last week I started on the trees. Each section now has about 10 trees of one fruit type and 1-3 of a second type.
This weekend I began working flower beds and shrubs. I plan to assign one type of flower to each section of land. I am over run with mums everywhere. Roses are also a problem. I started with the flower types that I had fewest of and replanted them so they will produce hybrids.

 

[SandiMacD]

...I decided to tear out the furniture on the top floor because it was turning into some kind of kiddie nursery which I really didn't want there and turned it into a fake sewing room with some of the fruit furniture and rugs (still need more plans for some of those)...

I had 2 sewing machines early in the game from balloon drops so as soon as I ordered my upstairs room I turned it into a sewing room. Mine has a wood stove, ironing station, spindle, cat bed, sewing boxes, notions, treadle machine and vintage machine.

Yeah, I think the treadle machine was one of the first ones I had too, and all the stuff you have either out of trees or balloons. Oh, and the Cute furniture, most of the series anyway, dropped from balloons.

I also forgot to mention something from yesterday, in that I got a new fossil for the first time in weeks! (That fossil section has to be really close to done.) I also got a painting from Redd at the flea market on top of getting a statue from his ship a couple of days ago. I was pretty chuffed about those. (ETA: the painting was a duplicate of one I already had--I didn't check the right section of my catalog .)

Flick is on the island today so I cleaned out my storage of bugs. I managed to finally get 3 orchid mantis so I ordered a commission.
Last night I completed my 20th home in Happy Home Paradise and was given a celebration party.
The HHA continues to tell me I need to get matching furniture. I am eclectic by nature so that likely won't happen. At least not with my main character, Nugget. Some of her furniture items cannot be customized to match the other furniture pieces.
On Harves Island there is a couple who customize items but even they are limited in what they can do. I got 3 blue Labelle hats (bought one, another by mistake and was given one). I was hoping they could be customized into a different color but evidently not.
I haven't quite figured out the Nook Customize Pro app (in the game). The one that changes the colors and designs on clothes (and hats). I can't change the color of the Cavalier style hat either.
The AC learning curve is challenging and so far it is keeping me interested.

 

[UpFalls]

Haha. I have trouble with the HHA and their thing about matching furniture too. I'm stuck at about 135,000 points but that's just because I haven't put any effort into the house in the last couple of weeks or so. I just keep saying under my breath, 'HHA, you just wait--one day I'll blow you completely out of the water and the furniture won't match either!' It just all takes time to get the right stuff together.

I mostly messed around on the paradise island, did up a place for Chrissy (I would have done it before she moved out had I realized at that point it was a thing that could be done.) Then I was working on figuring out the roommate thing and made Eunice move in with Hamphrey, and made her a space on the top floor. I don't like it nearly as well as I do his area though.

 

[Giddy]

On my Kingdom Island, I was able to get a few finned fish and bugs! (Kingdom is in July 2025), and I have one more finned shark to get, and three fo the most annoying stags to get via palm trees~

I also worked a bit on my honey/tree area using this as a reference

Course, not completely the same but similar idea which I found really cute!

Today I spent the last 2-3 hours figuring out Switch and Nintendo account stuff in regards to AC game play. I haven't had much success with Nook Switch ipad app. I wasn't able to get to Settings in the app and struggled with clicking the minus sign on AC launch menu (kept wanting me to end game).

Supposedly the iPad app offers ways to pro customize, manage screen captures, and communicate with my island visitor or if I visit someone's island. I spent time watching YT vids and internet searching and asking AI since the normal searches gave me information that had very little to do with my search phrases.

I eventually got Muffin (island representative) all set up with my Nook iPad app but I couldn't log out of app or switch profiles. So had to delete and reinstall app a second time under Nugget (whom I play with). Sometimes I think it might be easier if just reset the game and start from scratch playing just myself since both hubby and grandson are no longer are playing.

I used Muffin to get an online family membership a few weeks ago but couldn't use it for Nugget until I got her a Nintendo account. Which I did today but she still couldn't visit online. AI explained Muffin had to invite Nugget to join the family. (I had wrongly thought that all the profiles on the Switch automatically shared the family account.)

Then I had to figure out the photo uploads. I wasn't going to individually select from my 200+ photos on NS2. YT explained how to do auto uploads but Switch doesn't upload past photos. So I went through and deleted many. Only dealing with 100 now. They are pretty small and my vision is too poor to see what they are so I am just going to wait for the auto loads to kick in I guess.

Next I tried changing my Nintendo account profile image in the app on my iPad. Googled that and all but one hit says it has to be done on the console. The console only lets me select Nintendo icons or Miis and I am too exhausted to create a Mii right now. One hit said I could upload from my photo album but didn't say how.

I don't even want to get into learning "pro" customizing anytime soon even though I want to learn it. My brain is so overloaded with all this learning the only thing I could do in game-play today was get my money tree and beach bottle DYI. Labelle is here and Isabel announced "she". All this time I thought it was a "he". . Not that it matters other than my mind has to recategorize him.

Oh, yea, and iPad picked this day to upload the stupid (to me) "glass screen" last night. So I am struggling with those changes as well. Today is one of those days where I wish I was in my 40's instead of my 70's. Calling it quits on the game until maybe tonight.
