Hi all.. a few pages back you all welcomed me and so forth and got me started.. Thanks! Couple of newbie questions again. (AND plus I was not playing for about a week because my puppy had my charging cord for lunch.. ) anyways... can someone direct me on how to do a few things? I am on my little island. I have not yet signed up for online playing (which I will do soon and add you guys). But since I started really all I do is fish, pick up stuff and buy and sell. I still live in a tent. How do I go from this level into getting a house and doing other stuff? The two characters that are with me both upgraded to houses. OHHH and lastly there is something on the ground that I can't figure out what to do with.. It's like a little light that is coming from the ground. What is that? OH and one more.. sometimes there is a floating present on a balloon.. how do I catch that.. I have tried all kinds of stuff.. no luck. Thanks for helping this old lady out... I thought I could do it on my own and still struggling.. shocker.. lol Go speak to Tom Nook in Resident Services. He will direct you and tell you what to do next. We all have nicknamed him the “Crook” because once you get your house and add rooms, the charges are high. (This is where the online account comes in handy... a lot of us like to pay it forward and bring items you can use, whether it be with items you use or bells). The balloons... there is a slingshot do it yourself (diy) that you can get (from a bottle found on the beach or you can buy in Nook’s Cranny I think [as well as a ladder and a vaulting pole]). You use the slingshot to shoot the balloons down. The vaulting pole to cross rivers and the ladder to get up/down the tiers on your island. I usually hoard the 3 different kinds of wood, tree branches, stone, iron, etc. as these items are used to craft your tools and further along, furniture and other items you may want. The sooner you can get the online account, the better. After you have this and can either open your gates for us to visit or visit us, the sky is the limit. We try to help each other out as best we can. Some of us sometime ‘collect’ series of items, then collect all the colors that are available for them. Then we set them down on our island (drop them in leaf form) and invite ‘friends’ over to pick them up and drop them back down (catalog them in their own catalog). When this is done, you can return home and purchase from the atm kiosk machine in Resident Services to use as you please. (I currently have the toys set out as well as some clothes if you are interested in cataloging them.) Oh my goodness... sorry for the novel! So, whenever you are ready for that online account, please let us know and we will help out with materials, flowers if you are interested, fruit, bells, etc.

I just opened Isla Nublar! I'm working so AFK, and it's my IRL birthday so my villagers gave me silly hats and glasses! So cute. Started working on more of a "city" vibe over by the riverwalk area. I'm liking it so far but it's def a work in progress. Built my tiny dog park, too. Come by and shop, etc. Have fun! Happy Birthday and for the love of GOD make sure to give each resident one cupcake. They get upset if they are left out! Back in September I didn’t get 10 cupcakes... I recall having to leave 1 resident out...

Thank you to whoever dropped the red wrapping paper by my house! I just discovered it. Thank you so much! And dawnnikol, thank you so much again for Yodel items yesterday! Is there anything I can send for them? Also, thank you for the Mom’s hand knit sweaters you sent! What a surprise! Very much appreciated!

Villager hunt update... hunt for Derwin (or Grizzly) prefer that cute little lazy nerdy Derwin because he’s so cute and I need a lazy. On 21st nook tickets I came across Audie. Super cute, sounds familiar but not a villager on my radar. Have a peppy, tangy, and love my snooty wolf Whitney but who's this Audie? So I google, omg what a wonderful story, she’s based off a real life grandma that has logged a ton of hours in new leaf. So cute. Ok had to take her. Damn. 😂 Now who do I kick out for my lazy Derwin?? Come on Nintendo I need more villager spots!! Haha.

Damn. 😂 Now who do I kick out for my lazy Derwin?? Come on Nintendo I need more villager spots!! Haha. I have Audie as well, and I love her and her story. She'll probably be one of my forevers. I'm really pushing for Ken to give me his picture so I can swipe Ankha in from the amiibo card I have. naby64 - Happy Anniversary! SockMonkey - Happy Birthday! @treecity - I'm loving cute little Static. I actually had to look him back up and make sure he was a Cranky, because he sure doesn't act like it. Yesterday was his first day after boxes (TTing) and he was sitting on a bench. I went up to him and he asked me to sit next him. I made sure to talk to him 2-3 times yesterday (trying to get to the point I can gift him) and every time he was very pleasant and seemed happy to see me! workingclassdog - Yes, please get signed up online and open your gates. You will struggle so much less once we are able to help you out! But until then, like redbusc and Skellinton said, go talk to Tom Nook at Resident Services (in the Town Square). He'll tell you what to do next. I think I'm going to destroy my diner tonight. I had books in my Nooks yesterday so spent about an hour buying those damn things and making bookcases. Going to try and make a building. I'm super excited. Vent: Why can't we buy multiples of the items that you can buy on that little table daily? I literally bought 70 books yesterday!! If you could even do it in 5's, like the cabinet, that would be so much more helpful! Also, can someone explain the scattered papers and document stack DIY?!?!? You need one to make the other? I can probably Google it for better explanation, but man, that seems odd. It appears I have 4-5 document stacks in my inventory, but I'm not sure how I got them, because I haven't made them. So odd.

workingclassdog here is a video that shows you what to do to get a money tree. That bright shine spot. I had people tell me here but it was easier for me to see it actually in the process. You will get a shiny spot every day. Sometimes it is easier to find them at night. But do the process in the video and you will start to rack up money. Oh and you can then dig up that little nursery tree and replant it in a more accessible spot. I sometimes didn't remember about the money tree on a daily basis. I set mine up in a little grove. Once you shake them and get the money bags, they can be chopped down. They will not produce any more bags. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk6d4rHA_0kLike others have said, hurry and get set up with your online account. They were all so generous here with me and I would love to pay it forward!!

I went on to play a bit of AC while I ate lunch and immediately caught a fish I didn't have (a pond smelt), and got a holiday DIY -- the "festive top set"... I already have it though, so does anyone want it?

I played a little at lunch. When I logged in, she told me it was snowing on my island. It was not, so I'm very confused. Oh well, I'm sure it will be soon. Nothing remotely Christmassey going on with Sugar Sand.

Happy Birthday SockMonkey! Hope you have a fun day! @traceylyn, I don't understand the scattered papers and document stack DIYs either. Seems really silly. I love my villager Dom, but he's being a jerk today. I had ordered a couple of those special things that I cataloged last week. DD had the tree dress in her pocket, DS had a pop-up book in his. Dom asked for the dress from DD and then he asked for the book from DS. He better wear that dress! Otherwise I'm going to keep giving him pink work aprons or something. OK, going to log in and see if I can buy umbrellas from Booville. Oh and I can't get my fly-by project to work. I think I have to do something simpler.

I just ran through the items I have out to catalog. I think somebody that stopped by last night accidentally left a “coverall coat” in red by some of the sweaters. I have moved it in front of the juke box by resident services. If you let me know who is missing it I will send it back to you!

Nothing remotely Christmassey going on with Sugar Sand. I was told this on Saturday morning. No snow. But I noticed as the day went on, my skies got that snow cloud look to them. Being from the south, I laughed and thought, hmmm, really does have a snow forecast look to it. Sure enough, at some point later in the day, I had snow. Didn't stick but it was falling. And so pretty!

So Skellinton's island wasn't open and I went onto Isla Nublar. Our electricity went out for a brief moment, came back on and went off again. Sorry SockMonkey. I should've known better. We have a thunderstorm. I don't think I'll travel again until our bad weather passes completely.

I recall having to leave 1 resident out... I accidentally gave 2 to one of my residents (didnt realize it would let me do that!) and then gave one to a resident of someone else's island.

I didn’t see anything in my pockets that I think was yours, but please tell me if I stole something, it was completely inadvertent I promise!!! I have left things before because I panic I am swiping something so I just dump everything. I try to travel with empty pockets when cataloging, but I forgot to empty them last night.

I'll make sure it is still in inventory.

So, do you just put the jail bars on the main level of your Island? Not the top level?

Yes, not all the way down the beach, but pretty near. It is not a good look, but I want the festive DiYs! So far I have gotten one a day. After I get one I am going to bring Master Gracey out to see if he gets one. Still waiting on one from today ETA Man, there is some serious manifesting going on with this game. The second I posted that I saw a balloon coming my way and it was the ornament mobile diy, and I had just gotten a balloon right before posting. That was crazy quick.

So if Sable won't give me any more fabrics does that mean I have them all? For the past few days she's just chatted with me about experimenting with cozy outfits or something like that. But no new fabrics.
