One of my favourite parts is the changing clothes. Today I'm a doctors coat with a facemask and white shoes. All I'm missing is a scrubs cap and some white trousers lol

Wait till you start designing your own clothes.

(I have no idea how designers of anything do it, I just sit there with a bemused face and no idea what to make)

Yes! I’ve seen people’s designs including photos but I’ve no idea how to do it!

An easy way to start is to take existing pixelised art online of a logo or character you like and copy it across. This takes the burden of creating something impressive off you, and usually rail-roads you into a palate of colours. Then you can look at it on a plain white vest and add bits and bobs to make it look more clothes-like. After a while I'm hoping I'll get used to copying the tricks the original artist used to imply shading and and detail and might make something of my own, but for now, it's Deadpool vests for everyone!

Interesting video about the evolution of pseudolanguages in video games and in particular Animal Crossing

The eyes are positioned a teensy tiny bit suggestively

Or I've been in lockdown too long.

Maybe both.

Yep one islander a day and then you can upgrade resident services and get access to more things to do. I wouldn't be worried about not maximising your time every time you play - the game is meant to be enjoyed at a slow place, things just take time.

In no particular order here are some of the things I do:

- Make sure to complete the Nook Miles+ tasks everyday to get the bonus miles. As soon as I complete one of them I redeem the tokens straight away, as it will give you a new task which you might complete going about your travels rather than going out specifically to complete it. Basically redeem Miles+ tokens as soon as you earn them.
- Don't eat before you go harvesting tress and rocks. Every few days I will harvest my entire island for wood using stone axes. I leave what drops from the trees on the ground so I know which trees I have visited, then collect afterwards.
- Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I rarely eat lately. With a shovel and axe you can still move or chop down trees without food if you need to. I mainly chop down trees on the islands I visit to clear resources to try and spawn those altas moths, rather than chopping them on my own island.
- Buy Nook tickets to harvest other islands - don't bring too many tools with you, more free space the better. You can make/buy tools on the island anyway.
- Mash the A button when crafting.
- When you see a tarantula, get out your net and hold the A button to slowly move towards him. Stop when he raises his legs, continue when he drops them and let go of A when in range to catch him. Similar for catching those Atlas Moths. Never fails.
- Catch any bugs you see on your travels and sell them - you can rack up the bells quick enough.

I also never pay Tom back in bits n bobs - usually just pay the entire sum when I have plenty of bells to spare. Deposit your excess bells in the bank as it's supposed to earn interest (not sure how often or how much).

Thanks for the all replies guys. Makes me feel a lot better!

Nice to know I'm in the same boat as lots of others in term of being a bit behind.

I'll get the head down so for a few days and try and get my buildings built, supplies collected and maybe try and visit some islands of people on here!

Thanks again everyone!

Don't worry about being behind, go at whatever pace feels most comfortable.
It is a game not to be rushed as you're going to eventually get all the buildings and other things.

I remember when I bought it on the DS and not really getting the concept of it for ages. And then as your island begins to grow and more people come by, you start to "care" for the game. Talking about previous entries has left me half-tempted to go back to my New Leaf town and see what has happened in all the years since my absence and no doubt the myriad of weeds abounded everywhere and neglected residents... hmm.. maybe I shouldn't go back... hmmm.

Opening my island if anyone wants to visit, have some of all the fruits on trees, KK is jamming in the plaza, turnip prices are 67 (booo), hyacinth, mums and tulip in the shop, Able sisters open for another little while, any donations to my bridge outside the museum or any flowers would be appreciated!

Anything you picked up becomes park of the catalog in residential services, so you can order it again

The main annoyances for me are having to craft one item at a time and not being able to access your house storage items when crafting indoors.

I’m open. Dodo code: F9XXJ

Spent the last 2hrs rearranging and customising my house; changed the gym room into a his & hers bedroom, kitted out the kitchen with a brick oven, some sinks and an iron - everything the woman of the house needs. :P The sittingroom is nice and tidy now too.

Didn’t notice the time and stepped outside the house to see my island early morning for the first time - the colour of the sky and the music playing, amazing. There’s also a tournament about to kick off.

Constantly impressed by the level of detail in this game. Love it.

AMGer

Anyone got an Island with Mums, Cosmos, Lillies or Roses I could visit.

Can bring fruit, the other types of flowers or drop a few Bells in return

I have those flowers. Feel free to drop by, my gate is open. I don’t need anything except maybe a fun outfit!

Hows everyone getting on in the fishing tourney? My record is 11 fish!

Annoying though that you can't see you're overall fish points, you need 300 to get the gold trophey

Using bait I should add

Even with bait my best is 9, was a second or two away from getting 10. You need to get lucky with some of the fish taking the bait in the first or second try though. I stand in the middle of a bridge, chuck the bait in, cast and the fish turns and faces the bait, then it’s the luck of the draw. Rinse and repeat until the time runs out. But always using bait and standing in the same spot.

Happy out though, I got a cool

tackle bag

on my first attempt.

RedRochey

I've used up all my bait now, time it takes to restock isn't worth it really

Do you mean to catch the clams and craft? Can be a bit of a chore alright. But there’s tons of insects I’m catching while farming the clams and making a few quid in the process. Done for now, not that pushed about the trophies tbh so whatever other items I get from the points will do me.

In other news, Tom can wait for his latest loan repayment, I’m spending big on turnips tomorrow. :pac:

RedRochey

Anyone know when Fleck visits or is it random?

Ah, maybe. I've only just moved in the second of three new residents so maybe I need to be further along. Thanks!

Kid nephew had a mini-meltdown after finding out at 17:50 that the tourney ended at 18:00 (wouldn't believe me, was misled by chap in the plaza mentioning 20:00), having been messing around up to that point, and stuck without fishing rod, shovel or bait

Absolute mad rush ensued and he got to start at 17:58...

Only to foolishly cast into the river Still managed to catch 4 though!

Got some participation Nook points as a consolation in any case.

SMC92Ian

Tried the fishing thing twice, so boring, it's just go fishing with a clock, nothing amazing so I didn't do it.

Ajust the clock back.

Different way of doing the tourney no going and stocking up on sharks or rare fish I think it's a good way of doing things

Still short the bunny day recipe for the lamp and the rug - will we still have time to get them tomorrow or is tonight the last time?

iamtony

Anyone have a bunny day rug or a bunny day wall clock for my daughter?
Also cherrie blossom tree wallpaper, cherrie blossom lantern of cherrie blossom umbrella for the missus.

Can excharge other blossom stuff of eggs etc.

Edit. My daughter need the recipes for a prize tomorrow. My missus is happy with premade stuff.

I have a jukebox in the middle of the town. I went into the menu and raised the volume to the loudest. A present floated down from above with a recipe for a

pan flute

inside. Very cool.
