Well, good news is that you can cancel moving a shop with Nook. Still hate that I have to move the tailor shop twice if I want to move it back one row because of the way the game handles this :(
It's not even that, just imagine all the people who are just casual players dipping in for an hour trying to get Nook Stop set up and it taking them twice as long as anyone else who got the game because of all these fucking eggs everywhere.
another fun thing is that demolishing bridges or inclines takes a day and counts as a build, so if you want to move or upgrade one of those there goes two days and you can build nothing else.
That one I knew which is why I've built only the forced bridge and nothing else. I'm gonna sculpt my island as soon as I can and then start building things. Wish this didn't all seem so clunky.
I started the game on Tuesday my first bridge was constructed this morning (along with the museum) how do I go about making a second bridge? My island is three land masses, a central island with an outer mass divided in to two One bridge isn't enough.
Can you harvest them? Are there recipes that uses the flowers as materials?
The entire game is a shitshow of QoL considerations for the players, to be honest. Why can't I go into Mabel's dressing room or my own wardrobe with a wand outfit? Why do I have to click through 6 different questions to visit someone's island? Why do I have to manually pull everything out to build DIY, but there's no way to pull a specific amount out, ensuring I'll have to put some materials back in? Why can't I select making multiples of an item at once? Why can I only buy 1 piece of clothing of a designated type at a time in Mabel's dressing room? And literally etc, etc, etc. - I'm barely at the tip of my complaints.
For my first AC, I'm having a blast. But I'm astounded that Nintendo has such an incredibly clunky, unfriendly game in one of their premier franchises.
I can't harvest them. I'm guessing they're purely decorative
Yes, but if you're going to invite people to your island then I'd consider fencing off an area and putting them all inside.
I think I've settled on what villagers I want to round out my squad.
I currently have Shari (big sister), Buck (jock), Celia (normal), Ruby (peppy), Drago (lazy), Lionel (Smug), and Octavian (Cranky). I'm going to invite Diana (snooty), Bill (jock) and Bob (lazy).
Might replace Shari, Lionel, and Celia at some point. Shari and Lionel are growing on me (Lionel just said "You know what they say about fishing? Please tell me. I can't catch any."), but Celia is soo boring. I wish I had the Merengue amiibo card!

It's annoying that I only have two Sakura recipes, the Cherry blossom flooring and Sakura flooring. How do you guys get more, the fucking balloons are all Bunny Day related ;_;
Yup, yup, yup and yup.
There was a time in this series when fruit wouldn't stack. How far we've come. Yet there are still so many small user-unfriendly things!
I believe I got one from a regular (red) balloon. Those still fly over quite regularly, and I don't think they drop holiday items.
By the way, red balloons usually seem to be recipes, yellow are bells, green furniture or clothes and blue resources. Though I think there's a chance you just get random stuff, except the yellow balloon that always seem to contain bells. I usually pass on blue ones now.
Got the wand recipe and a few more fragments to look out for.
Thanks once again :D
Edit Some of these limitations on the wand though. You mean i can't have a piece of clothing registered to different sets? Also the dressing room cant interact with a wand costume? 🤔
To get that reward in April 12 from Zipper. Do I need to keep all the things I craft or can I sell them?
AC has always been like that and I can only assume it's a thought out deliberate decision.
I would guess it's because the game is meant to feel like a slow paced interactive experience, rather than feeling like you're going through menus and numbers. This shows from the title screen, in which there's no menu and even settings are made of dialogue interaction.
Even though I also find it stupid and annoying at times, I'm sure there's an unconscious effect on players' experience.
For me, any pretence of immersion in the experience is immediately lost when I have to grab 1 of a stack of 10 fruit for like 30 seconds, just to be able to separate 5. That kind of clunky stuff just takes me way out of it. Same for stuff like running in and out of the dressing room to get a piece of clothing in multiple colors. It's so obtuse. That is a lot more "gamey" to me than having a menu where I can choose to grab or craft X amount of items. I don't really get why the designers don't see it that way -- if it's all about more "natural" interfaces.
Hello everyone! I've finally made the decision and I'll be buying my first Animal Crossing later tonight! Hoping to enjoy it and that I can visit some of your islands and let you visit mine when I've made some progress!
From what I've read, the first two villagers are random, you can try to recruit favorites for the next three throught the mystery islands, the next one is campsite forced and for the final three you regain a bit of "control". Is that right? I'm kind of open to anyone being my first game, but I've already seen some designs that appeal to me.

Fwiw people talk about _4 and _9 but they don't really hit the beach to _0 or _5 anyway, so I feel like you can wait till then to run up and down for them.
I've been trying to think through why it's so wonky and I think it's the animation takes longer than it should before it restores control, maybe? Like I keep trying to move a square's worth of space, but it actually moves less since I started pushing the stick too early to actually be able to move. Though it also just does seem to consider where you're aiming weirdly to begin with.
My main issue is honestly that you can't put the path material on the edges of stuff, so there's just these weird gaps of grass everywhere for no reason instead of it being smoothly connected. Including the start of inclines, but not bridges, for some reason. And the weird handling of curves, where the order you break stuff matters yeah.
Its interesting that you can potentially jack the host's stuff they leave on the ground
I'm spending hours farming regular balloons, and totally ignoring the egg ones.
I agree, but again I can only think it's deliberate for experience or accessibility's sake. It's too obvious and obtuse and it's been part of the series for too long for not to have been pointed out by play testing or comparing to other games in the genre.
It's fairly easy to get into islands buying turnips for 200-300, so I think so. At least my experience sticking to low 300 high 200 islands hasn't been bad.
Hello and welcome!
You're correct about the villagers. One more thing to note is that there are several personality types for villagers, and your first 6 are locked. The first two are Sisterly and Jock, the next three are Peppy, Normal, and Lazy, and the final one is Smug. After that it's totally open.
Damn, initially I found Bubbles annoying and wanted her to leave, but then she tells me she's going to leave to be a pop star and suddenly I didn't want her to go. It's easy to get attached to your villagers.
Doesn't help that I just finally got a full village.

"Let me imagine it" for house plots is bullshit that it downs show a house, but the empty lot. I can't determine if I'm lined up if I'm trying to do next door neighbors. Now this looks like a tile or even 1/2 tile lower that the one next to it..
Got to put down patterns on the ground to get the truth in terms of lining things up
While I don't disagree with you that it's a deliberate decision, I think it's also decidedly a miss. I'm not necessarily one of these people playing this game like it's a mobage, doing things like connecting everything in the first couple of days or whatever. I'm going pretty slow all things considered, but some of it just makes me mad. The things with Mabel's shop serve literally no purpose to the experience. The fact that I can separate inventory in my bag (albeit very very slowly) but not in my house inventory isn't even consistent. Like I said I barely even got started on my complaints, there's just so many. And while I'm not accusing you of it, I know a lot of it will be hand waved away as deliberate decisions or part of the experience, but truthfully I've got to say a lot of it is just bad decisions leading to bad experiences in a great game. And that sucks. I don't want to be able to speed run everything and I understand the pacing concerns, but sheeeeesh.
How do I make a wish upon
Missed two shooting stars because I didn't know how to make a wish ;-;
I'll see how it goes!

Unlocked terraforming today and went kind of crazy with it. Spent my full lunch hour creating a museum district full of cliffs and waterfalls. Now I need to get to bamboo island so I can grab a ton of fully formed bamboo trees.
Yesterday Gulliver appeared on my island for the 3rd time. I talked to him and got one of his things from the beach, but I didn't have enough time to play. Now he's gone. Am I screwed?
Really? Man, that's so lame.
Tools breaking so fast is probably my only legit gripe with the game so far.
I get frustrated that fruit disappears if it falls off the tree and doesn't have a clear space to land hahahahaha I want my yard to have fruit trees but there's no way I'm positioning everything to have that much space, it will just make everything impossible to see
Probably not as screwed as Gulliver now that he has no way to contact S.O.S to be rescued. Especially since you took one of his tech thingies he needed.
