I want to make changes, but I end up not liking what I've done! Im not a particularly creative person so figuring out what to do has been difficult I do a lot of YouTube, Instagram, Reddit and Pinterest stealing! And Pea-theft! haha! Like, I am totally going to make a winery after visiting naby64 (but I'm kicking myself for trashing a bunch of my purple hyacinths now)!Ā sorry. Didn't you bring a lot to me? I have a few extras I could give back! littlemama I am a YouTube surfing freak! I started playing in September so I have a ways to go before I experience it all. At first I decorated my island as so many of you did. I have now decided I like the cottage core look and I'm re-doing my island to reflect that. I've also discovered that I can go ahead and terraform and change things up. I'll be another that says I love the community here. I would miss it so!

naby64. DS forgot to say goodbye as he was leaving. He wanted to make sure to thank you for his visit. He wished on several stars. Oh he was delightful. I kept telling DH I had a young'un over and how polite he was. Shooting stars?!?! I didn't know that!!

@missjen & littlemama I hear ya. The burnout is a struggle. DH has mostly moved onto Pocket Camp, the kids would rather play Mario 3D World together and it's a struggle to log in more than just to hand out stuff. The photos keep me chugging along, man! I just decided since we're swapping out the Bunny Island to change the whole theme, path, etc. My excitement got the kids & DH excited and now they're making lists again. We'll see how long it lasts! DH read somewhere that with everyone coming out of the pandemic, AC is worried it won't keep folks interested. Well, duh, we've been saying that and if you'd hire the Peas, we'd help you out. However, before you peace out, please know that it was truly such a joy to "meet" you all and play together. I know we'll all still be here, on the board, but it's not the same as flying over to your island and snooping in your stuff. It's not the same as beating each other with nets (or more!) and wishing on stars. <3 Honestly they have so much fabulous content in pocket camp - two and a half years worth, if they shared or even slightly revamped it for New Horizons theyād be set for ages. They need to listen to us.

Like, I am totally going to make a winery after visiting naby64 (but I'm kicking myself for trashing a bunch of my purple hyacinths now)! I get tons of inspiration from those places. I converted my previous spread out orchard, pumpkin patch into a pumpkin/lavender/tomato farm, orchard area after getting inspired by a bunch of places. Iām also planning a supernatural chessboard setup for halloween.

They need to listen to us. JUST GIVE ME THE FAIRY LIGHT STRINGS. Yes! But there are so many fabulous items. All the amenities, treehouses, picnic, bouncing castles, gardens, and buildings that would be loved by the city cores. One lot was an outdoor drive in movie series, you could do so much more with it in new horizons than you can with them in pocket camp.

Does anyone want a fish pochette before I sell them? I have two that I donāt want/need and I have no storage.
These are the ones that were given out for a prize from the fishing contest. Iām guessing most of you already have it, but thought Iād check

I never got a single cherry blossom diy. I gave up. Unless they come out with something very new, I think Iām done. I said Iād play til cherry blossom season (I started playing in May last year) and then it was such a tremendous let down with not being able to get diys and the season being so short. Now everything from here on out will just be a repeat. Short of wiping and starting all over, I donāt see myself continuing to enjoy it. I wish Iād known yesterday, I couldāve bought some back for you.

I know I am a lot newer then some of you so a lot of stuff is still new to me, but I am sorry the game is getting stale for you. It would be nice if they had added new things to events they had already had. I know there are a lot of new players so it would be sad to have things taken away for us, but they should have added new items for you old folks. I still have a huge wish list of characters I want and a lot of areas I want to create, so I think I have a lot of time left to play. I am so thankful for this game and this group of people, it has absolutely kept my busy and connected to others during this pandemic. Thank you all for everything, I hope Nintendo creates content that will keep you interested.

Please thank him again for showing me around. He even showed me how to ride in the pipe. I hadnāt done that before! How does that work/get set up?

Crossed my mind a time or two only because I have so many different things I want to do or change and it seems daunting. I spent 2 hours digging up flowers because I want to make some changes and Iām only a quarter through those darn flowers. Lol. Thatās my funk issue now, so much too do not enough irl time or energy and feel overwhelmed to even start. Maybe weāll see some more content thatāll give you a spark or maybe with all the new players youāll find some new inspiration or whatnot. Either way youāre still part of this wonderful ac community whether you are actively playing or not š

In sad news I let Molly, that adorable little duck that was part of my Canadian theme leave tonight š I was half paying attention and miss clicked. š« I know I could have shut down without saving but thought what the heck, itās just a game, I can find her again later and she does have an amiibo so if I really want her back thereās that. Sheās a normal, and honestly a little boring as all normals seem to be, and I have Flurry whoās a little more on the funky normal side with some of her crazy outfits and I kind of like that.
The good news is I got Zell! Heās so darn cute and I fell in love with him on SockMoneyās or was it Skellintonās island? Now I have 3 smugs though. Ugghhhhhh. š
Oh and I had a camper, a snooty squirrel named Blair. I thought what the heck ask her to stay, I won on the first game and she wanted to send Dobie packing so I let her. Literally took 2 minutes. Last time I had a camper I wanted to stay took 2 hours of playing games and shutting game down so theyād choose another villager š¤Ŗš
It was an eventuful day even though I was just planning to shoot down balloons (not a single cherry blossom diy, oh this game ššš¤Ŗ)

Zell is one of mine and I LOVE him! I have 4 smugs on my island and I don't mind one bit. I love their interactions with each other. My Zell wears the most wackadoo outfits, he cracks me up. I hope you love your Zell as much as I love mine!

I remember now my son loving Booville and I believe Pietro was doing something weird, oh he had his night vision glasses onš Anyway the Smugs and Crankys are taking over Minos cove thatās for sure. I still havenāt found a jock I really like. I had Roald for a while and he was ok but do I really need a jock? š

I am so thankful for this game and this group of people, it has absolutely kept my busy and connected to others during this pandemic. Thank you all for everything, I hope Nintendo creates content that will keep you interested. Iāve maybe been playing for six months maybe with my own island, I didnāt play a lot before that because we only had one Switch at that point and DD wouldnāt let me do anything, LOL. She would get so upset when I would make some rookie mistake like smashing a rock or totally chopping down a tree so I hesitated to play for fear I would screw something up. We got the original game at Easter last year but we didnāt play it at all for a few months. Anyway, I still think itās interesting because of all of the challenges for the Nook Miles. At the rate Iām going it will take me at least another year before I fill up my Critterpedia with every bug, fish and sea creature, buy every piece of art for the museum and get every stamp for the Nook Miles stuff. Then thereās getting all the recipes for the golden tools. I just got the recipe for the golden slingshot with all the extra Bunny Day and Cherry Blossom balloons so that was exciting. I too think people are so creative with the different things they come up with to design their islands. I donāt know that mine will ever be that level of awesome. It really requires an intense amount of planning and time which are things I canāt really devote to at this stage of my life but itās fun to see what other people do. One thing I do want to implement is to make some part of my island into a mini golf course. That has kind of been something thatās been on my real life bucket list since art school. The school I went to has a competition every spring where the students can design a mini golf hole complete with themes and sculptures and stuff and Iāve always wanted to do it. I have the space to do it both here at home and at our hunting cabin IRL but no time or motivation so it would kind of scratch that itch a little bit to design one for my virtual world, LOL.

I visited. I love the pandas, and the vineyard area which I hadn't seen before. Then I started running around and couldn't find a ramp or bridge so I just pulled out my vaulting pole and went over the river that way. Then I was stuck! Behind a house, I think maybe yours...? I was blocked from both directions when I tried to run around the house. So then I tried to vault back and couldn't. oy. Finally I got into just the right spot to vault over. Oh gosh, I'm dyin' here!! I'm trying to figure out where you were to not find a ramp. If you were at the winery, you could run to the other side of the island and incline down and a bridge. If you hopped over behind my house, then yep, you probably did get stuck. I am so sorry!! I wish I had been on to help you. I think I was at the vineyard and then I was lazy and took a ladder down rather than try to find a ramp. Then wherever the ladder took me I had to vault over the river, unless I wanted to go back up with the ladder to where I'd just come from. Which is probably what I should have done. lol

I was right there when the lights came on, I went in immediately...and one of my villagers was in there. So he/she (I forget who it was) had clearly spent the night there. So I do think that the game makes villagers disappear from time to time just to mess with us.

Also, for those of you who are saying you're looking forward to summer bug season -- let's revisit this conversation in August. Those beetles that hang around on trees are . ick ick ick. I made BANK on those nasty critters late last summer! I would go to mystery islands at night because itās so much easier to clear all the excess stuff that spawns the lower value bugs so you can just run around catching all the big money ones. Iād start off keeping whatever I could find initially and then trade up as I caught more valuable ones so eventually I would go home with nothing worth less than $5-10K each. It helps to have a lot of storage space at home so you can hang onto them until Flick arrives. Those bugs paid off my home expansion loans multiple times! Bring it I say! BRING IT! Especially now that DD has the recipe for the golden net and has made me a couple spares, Iām ready.
