What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?
- Thread starter JoJoCan
- Start date
I spent the last few days furnishing and terraforming the same two areas for hours, and now that they're finally complete I decided to take a break from development and just do dailies and little tasks today
- gave bunnie a wrapped stack of fruits (hoping to get her picture soon so I can send her off but at the same time she's so sweet so I don't mind the wait)
- cleaned up my abandoned turnip farm to get it ready for the pumpkins coming with the next update! its about a 5x5 area so I'm hoping that'll be enough for my farming needs. it all depends on how many pumpkins the DIYs will need and how fast the turnover will be
- added some more fences
- gathered wood, stone, iron, and clay
- smashed a rock that was in the middle of my town so we'll see where it ends up
- caught my first shark in new horizons - a whale shark! then spent a few minutes admiring it in the museum
- deleted some custom designs that I stopped using a while ago so now I have a little over 10 slots empty - time to find some interesting paths!

- moved my cafe over to where the able sisters used to be located
- be torn between happy and sad that today is the last bug off event ;v

Did A LOT of bug offs. Got the fourth nook miles goal bug off achievement, which is nice. Traded in around 400 points for prizes, and only got two artisanal bug cages (I wanted more of those). So now I've time travelled back to this morning and I'll keep going until I find at least a third artisanal bug cage.
I'm also very, very close to reaching the 5k insects caught achievement, so perhaps I'll keep doing bug offs after that, just to get even closer. I'm at 4.4k now.
Dug up all the fossils, found another piece of amber and another ammonite. I'm thinking they may make a nice 'fence', but then I'll need quite a few more. We'll see!
Gifted the villagers their daily gifts. No pictures today, I'm still waiting for Hornsby's at least. I've had him longer and gifted him more than Alfonso and Hopper, and I already have their pictures!
And that's about it, back to catching bugs...

I did a lot today! I celebrated the completion of my log staircase. Then I noticed that if I followed the plan I had in my head for all of my stairs then almost 98% of them would be pointing north-south. Can't have that! So, I had to terraform a little bit to even out some cliffs to put up the brick staircase.
I am hoping to get Nook's Cranny moved and my house in the proper place by the update. I was hoping to get all the villagers moved to their proper places, but that isn't going to happen just yet. I do feel a little bad that I moved Lobo up on the cliffs in a little area that is separated from everyone. I think he will be the first villager I move to their new location. It still won't have a bridge connecting where he will be to everyone else yet, but baby steps are necessary.
- moved the tailor shop to a brand new (hopefully final) location
- finally bought the arched stone path with my NookMiles (I've just been lazy and haven't got them all yet)
- put paths down in the second level courtyard of my museum
- turned the courtyard into the bones of a traditional Tudor garden ❤
- put down paths for the second level courtyard
- ordered two more streetlights
- outlined three villager yards with different fences
- terraformed my cliffs near my museum to fit Timmy & Tommy's
- completed a round of the Bug Off
- outlined where I want the back of my yard to be (Nook's Cranny is in the way, so no full outlining yet)
- crafted and customized a fountain for my Tudor garden

Heart-shaped ponds are so cute.
I put two around my S/O and my own houses.- Prepared Olive's yard to turn it into my island's pumpkin patch as soon as the September 30th update drops (so excited!)
- Moved my Egyptian stuff next to the Museum, after Ankha moved out yesterday
- Received the fake Scenic Painting from Redd, after he visited my S/O's island last night with all fakes (oof)
- Received Judy's framed photo while doing gifting rounds after the Bug-Off
- Started planning out what to do with for Flora's yard, as she's unpacking today

Ground out several bug off rounds so that I could get one of each prize. Was pleasantly surprised when I finished before anticipated because I had two items that I had forgotten about.
Some villager gifting. Still need to make sure my blue rose breeding flowers have been taken care of.

Finished making all of my island second level, made the river, and remade the plaza from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
finally got both kyle AND pinky's photos this weekend...and then kitt asked to move out, and I was so excited about finally getting to replace her that I broke my lifelong no-TT rule just to fill the plot faster hehe! managed to get tiffany from a very kind stranger on twitter and now I only have one villager to eventually replace and then I should have my dream team all set up! feels like it's been a productive weekend!
- a rock I smashed turned up right next to my vegetable farm which means I'll get 2 fewer resources than possible but I'm okay with that
- did my first bug-off of the game, which happens to be the last one of the season. I played quite a few times to try and get all the prizes but stopped after maybe 6 or 7 ish since it was getting harder to find the bugs
- invited pashmina from my campsite so tasha is on her way to start a new adventure in another island
- started decorating one of my alt's houses
- crafted all the shell furniture to get those check marks
- placed my butterfly models here and there in my forest. I wish I got into models within the first month of playing so that I could have more before winter sets in but I'll try to buy some online

Not that much done today. It was one of those 'rain all day' days, and somehow I can't get myself to enjoy playing when everything is bleak and dreary.
I did however:
- Give a gift to all my villagers. Including my newest villager, Tutu.
- Cleared out my storage. I got rid of all the fish/bugs I had stored there as I realized I've stopped collecting models and bugs for models long ago. I also got rid of a bunch of summer clothing, it's fall now so I won't be seen wearing brightly colored garden tanks or zigzag dresses for a while anyways. I now have about 300 spaces left again.
- "Listened" to a K.K. concert. In reality, I remembered this only because I talked about this being probably the last nook miles goal I'll ever achieve this week. I also didn't really listen, just put it on while watching a Netflix series on my pc.
- Finish all the daily nook miles+ goals that give you 2x or 5x the reward.
- Gather all the shells from the beach. I don't know why but I just can't get myself to leave them lying around.

I think I missed a day or two here but I wanted to update with my progress with the last few days. I haven't played a ton just due to being busy but I have accomplished a little bit:
- Terraformed for another villager's house. Putting in a cute little ramp to a private house section
- Cleared more trees, flowers, etc
- Kept working towards blue roses. I now have 2 purple roses from white saplings that I can try to use now
- Kept up a Nook Miles streak (7+ days for the first time in too long!)
- Fully customized my house's exterior
- Bought lots of cool new clothes and furniture
- Crafted some nice items to start decorating the next villager's private house section

I finally flattened my whole island. It took a long time but its worth it. Tomorrow will be terraforming.
I got up really early today for some reason, so I'm just doing a couple of little things. I got Nook's Cranny moved yesterday, so it is time to hold a ceremony! I have moved Lobo's plot to a new location. I also uploaded an updated version of my Dream Address (in signature in case anyone is bored and wants to wander around on a WIP island with no theme).
I'm basically down to moving houses around before I can do much else. I forgot that you could only move one house at a time, so I'll be moving my house to its new location tomorrow and getting another villager to their new spot on the 30th!
