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 it’s 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. I’d 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, I’m ready. Yes, I know you're right about that. But still... ick ick ick. lol I do want to move all my villagers though, and add some bridges, etc. so I'll need bells. So yeah, I need to suck it up and catch those awful things. -- When you say to clear the island what do you do with everything? drop it right there? or move it all to the beach? I feel like I asked this question once months ago but I forget what the answer was. lol. I wondered about the flowers... we'd have to dig them up and then replant them on the beaches...? or just pick the flower but leave the stem?

Sigh. I have 6 cherry DIYs. I kept TTing backwards to last Monday so I could shop Redd's for art. And of course I'd stalk balloons. I barely saw any and the ones I did get were either bells or rando home items (standing toilet, street organ, etc). So I'm going to watch tv tonight and try again. I didn't put up jail bars cuz I thought I could get all the DIYs more easily than this. Does the game know I'm "cheating" time by TTing back? Is it holding out on me??? lol

I feel like I asked this question once months ago but I forget what the answer was. lol. I wondered about the flowers... we'd have to dig them up and then replant them on the beaches...? or just pick the flower but leave the stem? First I go find my bonus message bottle that is always at the first island you come to. Then I go through and shake some trees to get a few branches that I might need to rebuild broken tools and to find the free furniture, then go around and chop down all the trees except the ones that spawn the kind of high money bugs I’m looking for (usually I leave four palm trees, one in each corner). I collect stuff up to “stack” it so it takes up less space and is easier to work around, and dump it somewhere out of the way. Eat some of the fruit or coconuts and bust up every rock, dig up every stump, pick every flower. It takes a bit of time to do all this. Once all that’s done I can run around the island in more or less of a loop, sneak up to each palm tree and bag whatever beetles spawn on the trees and continue on over and over until my pockets are stuffed with bugs. As I’m running around, I also keep an eye out for big fish and when I see something worth stopping to cast a line for, I’ll do that too. I don’t leave until every pocket space is full with something worth bringing back, so I always make sure to leave home with mostly empty pockets and only bring my basic tools and a few supplies in case I hit a bamboo island that doesn’t have a lot of wood to rebuild tools. We hit a scorpion island once and DD really cleaned up with that.

I am so missing AC and you guys.. couldn't play most of the weekend.. I can't get my Switch to charge. I ordered a new charger and hoping that will solve the problem. I hate to think my Switch it's on it's last legs. I can't image that really. Although the thought if I can buy a new one I could start all over again and do I wanted to do originally (naming my island and character what I really want instead of just willy nilly it). Anyways, just jumping in here to say hi.. gotta go back to work!

Ah, I too am feeling the burnout. I feel like I can barely enjoy decorating for the seasons (like Bunny Day) if the most important decorating component isn't even given to you until the last day. So now I finally have all the BD decor up and it's feeling stale already.
I really wanted all the Cherry DIYS so I got them on on Etsy so I was able to decorate well ahead of time and I actually just enjoyed randomly catching blossoms without the pressure of running out of time. Funny, I still shot down plenty of balloons and do you know I didn't get a single Cherry DIY? What if I didn't buy them in advance?
I'm going to be putting my vineyard back up too, I saved all my grape hats in storage so I'll put them up again. Sigh, I'm almost at the one year mark myself so everything is now on repeat as I started right after Cherry blossom season last year.
Right now what I'm enjoying is finding my Villagers doing cute things. I do seem to miss all the meet ups you guys have been having, I like visiting and touring around.
Not going to quit just yet but I do agree so much, our little AC threads got me through this pandemic, that weenie roast on Sock's island and the King Tut head musical chairs was the best!

I totally agree with this. And as someone who has shot down only 4 cherry DIYs (and I've TTed back), you were right to get them on etsy early on!

I am also just about burned out. I feel like all I do is run around and pick up shells on the beach and sell them. I have been working on Bigfistula's island just to give me something new to do.

Very intrigued SockMonkey! baylorgrad, you buy the pipes in one of the shopping tabs (they are the Mario items.) Buy at least two and place them in different places. He had a blast showing you around. I kept thinking the whole time, "I hope she wasn't planning on a quick visit." I have Redd today. The only real is the Sinking. I have it already; does anyone need it yet? AC burnout! I'm getting there but not quite yet. I play in the way to check things off/getting things completed. I have a couple insects to catch and donate. Quite a few insects and fish to catch to make models. I have the art to finish. Can't do that when Redd offers me the same crap. I was getting more into the setting of different scenes after I leveled everything but that piqued my DS's interest. He's taking over so now I'm losing interest in that again. We have an extra cherry bloom pond stone DIY. Anyone need that one? I looked at one of Red's latest post and didn't see it listed.

I think the biggest thing that keeps me from moving things around too much are the freaking flowers everywhere. My island has been overgrown since day 5 and it takes too long to dig them all up.

Hi everyone!
I’m so behind in playing AC...my island is a mess, like my real house! LOL! Between work, training, and school, I’m exhausted. I still haven’t transferred my AC from the Switch Lite to my new AC Switch! I hope to get my excitement back for AC...I just stink at decorating. I’m not even doing the daily chores or giving my villagers gifts, even my new ones. I don’t understand why the programmers won’t put new items in the Nook store or Nooks miles terminal. Also, why am I still getting winter clothes at Ables...frustrating!
Anywho, today Shep is my visitor...is he a good villager? I want to have at least 5 dogs.
I hope everyone has a happy Monday!

I've really cut back on how much time I play. Although, on the weekend I TT'd to July and got my last fish, and last 3 bugs for my museum. I have 2 more sea creatures to catch, and my museum will be complete! I have a few new residents, but they aren't keeping me interested at the moment. Im not sure about flattening my island, there are some things Id like to change, but its so much work, LOL.

Talking about flattening your island...I was watching one of my YTers last night and her map popped up. She had completely flattened her island except for the here and there terraforming she did and she took out the rivers. She only had short little rivers into the island. I assume after you have caught all your fish there is no real need for a river? Because I gotta say, after taking out some of my river and making a waterfall in it's place and using the reclaimed land, I would love to get rid of all my rivers. But I haven't caught everything yet. So that will wait.

I know it depends on the season, but I have caught a lot of carp in the river. It is good to have for those rusty cans and old tires also. But those are sort of few and far between. The most I caught was during the Bunny Day time. I caught more varied items and fish while trying to get water eggs. Also, the pond is good for goldfish and Koi.

redbuscPlease add me to the wishlist for the pile of zen cushion diy Thank you. I didn’t realize this was a diy. I thought it was an item you could buy. The single zen cushion is an item you can buy. You need three of them to make a pile of zen cushions. Like the single books you can buy, being required to make bookcases and library items.

You know how you stop flowers spreading? Make one design slot the transparent color and put them down around your flower plots. They can’t respawn in squares with any custom designs down. And with the slot being transparent it won’t look like there is anything there.

I think the biggest thing that keeps me from moving things around too much are the freaking flowers everywhere. My island has been overgrown since day 5 and it takes too long to dig them all up. It's doable if you don't start the project with the idea of finishing all at once. When I got rid of my flowers I carried around a trash can and did a section at a time. I knew I wanted to keep a few -- blue roses, for example -- so I just left those where they were for the moment. Each day I'd go do another section or two. Then when I was done trashing almost everything I went back and dug up the ones that I wanted to save and planted them on the backs of my cliffs. The only problem with that method is that I kept losing my trash can. lol. I'd get distracted by a balloon, or something irl, then I'd forget what I was doing and run off to the other side of the island...

The thing I can't get is the statues for my museum. I'm sure I missed a lot of Redd's visits during all my catch up TT but still. I get the same old paintings all the dang time, its taking me forever to fill the art museum. I have only 2 statues and the rosetta stone so far.
At least that's one thing that keeps me interested in playing, I'll eventually get there, I'm in no rush to complete the museum because after that I'm REALLY done and I don't want to be done ever. Oh that plus I can't catch a swordfish for the life of me.

Since DS TT, we found out we will have a star shower on Wednesday. He wants to have a star party.
Maybe we should have deflowering party for MissJen? She could open and we could dig all her flowers up for her.
