When does it reset? The fish have an awfully narrow field of view and casting the line is ridiculously inaccurate. So hoping it's when the fish bite and you're not quick enough to reel them in.

I've never really enjoyed any of the Animal Crossing games much beyond the first month or so, but I've got some serious FOMO about this one.
Things I never liked:
- The "forced" playtime aspect (weeds, villagers moving, roaches, etc. happening if you don't play for a while)
- Kind of aimless (I love Stardew Valley cause there's some goals I can chase beyond just collecting things (finishing the mines, marriage, building the perfect farm, etc.))
- Having a Nook loan to start just feels bad to me
Are these still an issue? Should I even bother trying this game?

The Nook Miles kiosk will eventually sell new phone cases
All that stuff is in the game.
It's still a game you play a little bit each day, and can't do much to binge.
Tried the online and it worked well enough. Visited a friend. Weirdly, she had done enough to already have a house (paid off the miles last night), while I was still in my tent until tomorrow. But I also already had Blathers set up and given him enough material to open the museum while she only had the designated tent area set up.
I also now have pears, peaches, and oranges planted.

The Nook Miles system offers you points for doing various tasks, it makes the game feel a bit more like a game.
Wait, you need Switch Online to use the features in the phone app? Thats uh, kinda not that great
Well, I did all I could do. Now I'm setting the game aside for a day while my house and the museum are constructed.
I've reset a few times now, here are a few observations :
Starting outfit seems random (or at least a small selection of clothes picked randomly as I got the same multiple times)
The 4 map layouts presented to you are not the same everytime, they are indeed random the same way maps were in older AC games.
When picking your island while with terraforming and the ability of moving most things the layout won't matter, there are a few things to consider you won't be able to change : The airport, the places your rivers go into the ocean, the secret beach to the north, the plaza, the pier and the small plot of land goint into the ocean.
If you want the Plaza to be centered somewhat you'll have more chances with a map where both rivers fall in the ocean to the south of the map.
The question about what you would want to bring to the island has nothing to do with the airport color.

Personally I would start over with the new Switch. Do it now before you've progressed too much
I don't have that many recipes that use weeds, so I've pretty much ignored picking them up.
But maybe I should just pick all the weed I can and leave it in the storage.
so my wife started playing before me and made the island. Tom Nook gave her the option to donate her critters, but he isn't giving me the same option! does she have to do it for us?
lol not sure why it didnt post. I had spoiler tag'd.
For the Museum:
Should I assume I can not donate anything more until Blathers shows up?
Yes, it does.
And as a general note for everyone: fruit power does not carry over to a new day, so use eating fruit situationally.
I started with oranges, and Mom mailed me some pears that I planted, but I've visited 4 islands with Nook Miles Tickets, and they've all had oranges. Does anyone know if the island fruits change each day, or will I need to go to someone else's island to get the others?
this is the first AC game i have really enjoyed fwiw
it feels way more videogamey than the others
No, we played at midnight. This way, we had "two" days in one day, since a new day start at 6am.
Did she already donate 5? You'll have to wait for Blathers to show up to donate more.
There's a chance to get a new fruit each time you use a Ticket, you've just gotten incredibly unlucky.
It wouldn't let me play on my old Switch while the game was running on my new one.
Do y'all feel like you're progressing too fast? I just made enough donations to get the museum and got enough nook mile points to pay off my initial debt. Should I save bells to pay off the moving fees to prolong the game progression or use my miles?
edit: Turns out the only way to pay the first seems to be book miles

I don't know. I assume it's when you cock up and press the button too early or too late after it's bitten. My plan is to get all 100 today so that I never have to worry about it again. I'll reset if I break the chain.
Loving things so far, just paid off my moving costs and setup Blathers. Gonna pause till tonight.
Yeesh some of the takes in this thread. Not going to directly reply because I don't want to get into a back and forth but... these design choices are purposeful to create a relaxing and meditative game. Moving and placing furniture? Yeah, it's clumsy at first, just like it is in real life. But, it creates a sense of pride and feeling that this is your space that you put together. Furthermore, it makes you appreciate the eventual upgrade for remodeling. Watering each flower one at a time, shaking each tree, etc. all act as a way to get you exploring the island, running into villagers, seeing them living their lives. Blathers talks too much for you? Well.. yeah. It's right there in his name.
I echo the advice of many in here: this game isn't a sprint, and you'll get the most out of it if you just take it day-by-day and enjoy the little things. The larger accomplishments will follow, and it doesn't matter if you get to them "first"~ that's the fun of visiting other's islands and discovering new ways to spend your time. Of course, if you're into time traveling and such then you're going to have a different perspective, but that approach is at odds with the game's design to begin with.
EDIT: the post above me says it all, lol :)

Thanks! I guess it's time to burn some more Nook Miles.
Is there a way for us to share designs? Cause I am trash at making them and would rather just download people's who are a lot more talented than me.
How easy is this to play with my partner on the same Switch? Can we play together throughout? Or are there limitations?
Woah! Camo Croc is cool!Do y'all feel like you're progressing too fast? I just made enough donations to get the museum and got enough nook mile points to pay off my initial debt. Should I save bells to pay off the date to prolong the game progression or use my miles?
