I opened Isla Nublar if anyone is bored and wants to bop over! Not too many new things, but slowly updating the tropical theme. I'll be AFK!

Just me and a fishy hanging out in the river 😂 How do you do it with the river?? I've got the spa/tub down, but I can't see how to do it with a river.

ModChick -- Now my question is how do I get out? hahaha I could always save and exit, then when I come back I'd be at my house. But is there a way to get out without doing that? eta: Never mind, I read to the bottom of the article you linked. Apparently it's Rescue Services or exiting. I don't understand the third way they mentioned since I can't jump back up onto my unfinished puzzle from in the river. eta again: I called Rescue Services just because I've never used it and I wanted to see how it works. lol

I don’t get the pick up the item thing either. I guess that works if you are just glitching on dry land into something and you pick up the thing you’re in??

Is it weird that I still haven’t received a simple panel? I am level 4 but no panel. Thankfully, I stole one from my dd’s island. I just kinda think it’s weird.

Hi all! I’ve been off for a bit. Life got super busy. I figured out how to get on the fourth level . Yay me!!! But I’m starting to wonder if maybe a restart isn’t in my future. The problem is I want to keep my goodies too lol. I thought about using my daughter in laws island for storage for stuff but that will require 20 trips minimum. On the other hand flattening is an option but all the flowers. Trees. Etc. they are overwhelming. I haven’t completed the bugs or fish or art. Just the fossils and ocean creatures. I have most hybrids of flowers except a couple. I have my favorite three octopus villagers. It’s really 50/50. I really like the one side of my island but the other side is just overwhelming with all the stuff i hoarded. I dunno. I want to hear the good and the bad of anyone who has restarted vs flattening. Please I am in a full year and many hours played but so tempted to restart as well just to try out a different layout and airport color. It’s tempting but oh I don’t know if I could pull the trigger. I’m done my museum but wouldn’t mind to do it again. It’s all the trips like you said that would be a pain.

That’s the hard part. Since my son is playing I can give him everything I have and then reset but gosh that would take forever. But I really love this game and am really not loving playing right now. I think a full reset would refuel my creative juices. I’m not even worried about the loss of villagers like Raymond because this is the only game I’m playing right now and know I’d eventually run across him and others again. I think I might. I really think I might... When I first started I had no idea what I was doing. If I restart I can really choose layout, airport color, new island name. Omg I think I’m talking myself into it. Haha.

So I did it. I spent several hours dropping off “necessities” at my DIL island. I then reset the whole thing and mostly I’m loving it. This layout is so much better. Planning ahead as I lay things out. Not perfect but better. Not saving stuff I know I won’t use. Same fruit. Different flowers. I’m killing off the native trees an putting in what I want lol. Getting the initial nook miles is nutty. I did regular chores too lol. Still zombieland. Need to get my outfits back though. I miss the larger pockets and the home storage but that will happen eventually.

I did change my island name to Blue Heron. Loving my new layout as well.

I don't think I mind losing my inventory as much as losing my bells. I assume we lose those also?
I am not a full year in, I came on in Sept. But I think I'm bored. Or it could be I have a lot going on with outside life going on. So much needs to be done in the yard. I've got some inside stuff that is needing finished. Started an online scrapping class (yes, Anelle, I scrap) and I'm just tired. I don't even have it in me to open and do the chores.
I do think I chose poorly on island design but that can be changed with terraforming. I think I'm just bored with my island. I need to start looking at moving my villagers to the beach and rethink that area.
But none of this will happen today. And I need another cup of coffee. I do need to get rid of so many flowers. I think that in it's own self would do wonders for me and the island.

One way to get around losing them in a restart.

Nevermind My alter is still in a tent bc I can’t remember what I did to get past it!🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ You can leave them in a tent, but if you want a house just talk to Tom with that character and he will tell you what you need to do. It is probably the step that requires nook miles. That seemed much more difficult the second time around. I am not going to restart, but I am going to flatten. I want to do it without TT, so it is going to take awhile!!! I want to move my resident area over to the other side, but I want it to be very similar to what I have now, I just want it set all the way back and maybe give them each a bit more space for their yard.

yeah the nook miles requirement seems harder this time around probably because I know things now lol and there aren't those extra tasks with the extra rewards. Despite that, Im still rather enjoying this restart. I haven't gotten my stuff from my DIL because I have little to no pocket storage compared to when I took the stuff to her. I love the clean uncluttered space. I tried flattening, moving everyone to the beaches etc, but after a while everything just got so overwhelmingly cluttered. Now that I have a game plan (kinda) and an idea on how things work, Im feeling much better about my island. A bit twitchy to get cleared for terraforming but Im enjoying the setting up stage.

Heck, I barely change my island as it is, I just add seasonal decorations.

I feel like I’ve played a full year, accomplished a lot even though I had no idea what I was doing for the first few months so it feels satisfying starting over. Actually picking an airport color and knowing the impact of that albeit small (yellow because I wanted the brown rusty lamp posts for an eventual cottage/country/rustic theme) and picking a layout knowing what the map means and how it’ll impact my island. Don’t care about the rivers and waterfall placement and such since we all know we can terraform but I wanted to try a layout with both river mouths to the south so that I have longer stretches of beaches on each side. Anyway I too am glad I restarted. I like the daily tasks though and the collecting things so I’m happily puttering away doing those chores with renewed enthusiasm.

So, I started my tear down tonight. I will be opening up tomorrow morning because I put some stuff out on beaches for people to pick up if they like. There are a lot of duplicate Sahara items and seasonal things too (pi pie, Easter baskets, Easter decor, winter stuff, festivale stuff, Valentine’s bouquets, Easter eggs and feathers etc). I don’t care if you come grab it to sell. Some of you who restarted may appreciate selling for bells and that is fine by me. There are random items in there too, but mostly I tried to put out stuff that you can’t buy from the stores.
I really want to do it without TT, but I hate to think of my creatures wandering around with nothing to do, so I think I will have to TT once I get stuff put away.
I will post when I open up, I am west coast so it might seem late for some of you but I will stay open all day.

I'm working on completely re-doing Party Isla and it's slow going, even with TT, but one of them handed me a lawn chair. I didn't have room, so I just placed it since my island is a hot freaking mess anyway. Don't you know while I was working one of them sat in that thing like it was the best thing ever? Cracks me up!

I am opened up, there is stuff on both front beaches. If you can pick it up it is yours to sell or keep.
