Peas! I bought AC tonight! I played until my moving expenses were paid off and the museum tent was placed. Total newbie here Welcome! As soon as you open up to visitors you will be bombarded (in the best possible way) with help!

I know no one likes shooting stars on the west coast, but I will have them tonight,. I haven’t had Celeste in awhile, so fingers crossed she will be here. I will open up for stars, swing by if you like. I love having company!

So my child thinks he wants his own switch. Put it into cart along with the game and nearly cried! Is that how much we all paid for this, lol!! It’s his 16 birthday so I’m all for getting it but my dh thinks it’ll be like other consoles and he’ll play for a bit and be done with it. Sigh. Not sure if we should just take the plunge. Gahhh I really don’t remember it being so expensive and I know he’d much rather play on the tv than with the lite. Do they ever go on sale?

Thanks for sharing. Love those items coming. That island though, love it. So pretty. Makes me want to redo so many areas. 😂

Not that I have seen, but I only started watching last March because of Covid. However, if you have a GameStop, you can order a used one (which only saves $20, but still!) and then if you use Rakuten, you can watch for them to have the higher cash back bonus on top of it. Also, on the flip side of that, you can always sell it BACK to GameStop for some money back or sell it via eBay or whatnot. OR you could keep it and have a 2nd island. LOL!!!

The algorithm may be pricing higher than the $299 that it should be. Try Best Buy or Gamestop or Target ... they should all be priced at the $299, plus the game of course.

Hi Crossers. I am very frustrated. My joy-con drift is getting really bad. I can not move to the right anymore. I'm using my DD's off brand controllers and I hate them. It's too big and the rumble is so strong. I need to get new ones but I've been putting it off.
I opened for watering. Please come by and water. I'll have to try to open up during the evening more often for watering. My turnips are awful. I have Gullivar today. I have freebies on the beach in front of nooks but anything on my island is up for grabs. If you can pick it up, you can keep it. I have a fake painting on the beach. I'll need to trash it.

I stopped by during my lunch break and watered a bunch for you. I also talked to a bunch of your villagers, took a tour of your cute island, and went shopping in your clothing store. Thanks!

I’m in Canada it seems to be $399 everywhere. However since we had planned to take the kid to the coast for his birthday (16) my husband didn’t think it was a bad idea after all since we’d have spent more on the trip. Am too excited I wait so we bought it today, ds birthday is in April 😂 There’s no way I can wait until then to give it to him. Lol. He should be up and running within hours. Hehe. I think I’m so excited because I actually know how to play now and know what to look for in starter islands. It’ll be nice to actually play with him with his own island instead of running around together in that horrible tethered multiplayer.

I've been playing for three months now. Since the snow will be melting soon I think I'm going to try for some of the hybrid flowers. I'd appreciate any advice or any recommended videos. I've watched a few videos and they all have different suggestions on planting. I'll be stalking islands to raid your stores cabinet for seeds.

I've watched a few videos and they all have different suggestions on planting. I'll be stalking islands to raid your stores cabinet for seeds. I haven't really gotten into the hybrid flowers yet, except for a few... But my recommendation is not to start with ALL of them at once. Don't buy every variety and then start planting flower beds where you're trying to 18 different things at one time. lol. I did pink hybrids for my pink Valentine's island, and I did only cosmos and roses because I think they're the prettiest. Tulips are okay also except that I think their pink variety looks almost red, especially next to the cosmos pink, so I stopped doing those. Anyway, pick one or two to start with and it won't be too overwhelming. And as always, my advice about the blue roses is to ignore your red roses and do other things and you'll get blue ones. Other people seem to have trouble with blue roses and I got mine by accident. hahaha Also, find a SIMPLE guide to follow... Some of them look like a chart from a higher math class!

I agree with the charts looking like a higher math class! It's overwhelming. I think I'm going to do cosmos and hyacinth to start. I have hybrid lilies everywhere since those are my island native flower. I didn't even try with those they just did their own thing making pink, orange, and black. Maybe I'll get lucky with those too.

When I start on hybriding (is that a word? ) in the spring I'll probably get lily seeds and do them again, but then I'll keep just one or two of each color and fence them in so they can't spread. lol

Thank you Anita, skellinton, and your friend Chelsea for visiting. Skellinton, tell Chelsea that it's more than ok to take the recipes. Someone bought the gas range and left it behind. Someone also picked up the FAKE painting. I hope you realized it was fake. Speaking of that fake painting. I checked on a website; the site said there are two fakes offered but only had a picture of one. I thought my fake looked like the real so I was duped. I really hate playing with my DD's controller. It's hard to move around. I really need to order a new joy con.

I took the painting for the 7 year old, he hangs them up in his house. I also bought the range and left it for who ever wanted it. I just wanted it cataloged in case I ever have a use for it.

I bought new controllers too and love them other than the rumble part and fishing. I can’t fish with these controllers.

I found the cutest ‘no water’ and ‘please water’ custom art so I organized my hybrids and flowers today and posted signs so people don’t water stuff that doesn’t need it, next to my watering cans. I’ll leave it open during the days for watering, if people wouldn’t mind. 🙂 I’m working on purple tulips, green mums, purple pansies, purple hyacinths, blue roses and purple windflowers. They seem to be the hardest to get. I’ve managed a single purple hyacinth so far. I kept my plots small so they are quick to water.
