Wondering if the Wall-E extra bonus is worth buying? I only bought it because I had the extra Moonstones. Not the most exciting quest line, IMO. Ursula's was way better. I'm very happy with the changes to Scrooge's store, but I've run out of wallpaper to purchase. >.<

I'd been dying for that tall, rounded top window and finally got it! I'm a moonstone hoarder lol - I think I have about 22,000 or so - I'm picky with what I spend on. I finally used the Ancient gathering machine thing - cleared all my valley biomes in no time - but when I posted in a FB group found out they suck up mist to be used. I had NO idea. Apparently a glitch - it used to say how much you were using with gathering.....ugh. But it's amazing for the things you need!

I'm still stumbling along. I have all the Monsters path stuff I want. Oh wait, the coffee maker I don't have. I still don't have Mike or Sully.
Closer to having all the main characters at level 10. It seems the only place I find moonstone chests now are on Eternity Isle. I found 3 last night when I went to collect tropical wood for pathing.
I'm really excited about this Dreamsnaps challenge. I've been making tiki torches and lanterns. Moving Moana's house and will be moving Maui's house nearby. I already have Pua as my companion so it should work out.
I'm at ODS's house this weekend and my DD is living here temporarily. So we've been painting. I've asked him to help me get it all placed. I also have to reset my tablet today. I've locked myself out. Boooo!

Alrighty, all you movers and shakers and players of old!! I don't mean age, I mean length of time. I am in the process of making Ursala a 10 and should be there today, I think. Then I get to get Eric. I have realized some of the more annoying characters, I have not brought up to a 10 level. I suppose I should get that done. Then get Mike and Sully. They showed up when the path started and I was determined to get my Star Path done. And I did. Now I need to get moonstones. I hate that we can only get them from blue chests. It is extremely rare that I find them in the Valley. I usually have to to the Eternity Isle and when I get there and start running around, I will find not 1, not 2 but 3 sometimes. Surely, it's not just my game glitching. But they are bringing back items to the shop that I never got at the beginning of the game and I just want so many of them. But ODS told me to never put my own money in the game. Said he who is forever buying expansion packs and stuffs for his PS5. So a couple of questions. I had all my storage chests in a back room. I called it my pantry. Well I am outgrowing that. I am in the process of making chests and moving them to a larger side room. But the agonizing slow process of removing stuff from the storage, into my inventory, grabbing the chest and the putting it down in the new room, reloading is just slow. It does, however, allow me to go from chest to chest and find all the random "oh, I'll just throw this here until I can make room in the other chest" items and get them all together. I am about to watch a video on someone's organized storage room and make take ideas from her. Do you have all your stuff in one room or do you have storage all over the place? 2- These cottages and such that I am buying. I have a fairy cottage and a comfy summer cottage and some others. I would like to have the summer cottage set-up as my house. But it won't really be my house will it? I did place one the other day. I have to completely renovate it. Is there some magic that I have to do to get my storage stuff over? Or am I misunderstanding videos where they say they are making that "their" house for whatever season? If I go into those houses, will I restore my energy? So many questions for a game. I really shouldn't have rolled my eyes at my sons when they were so into their games when they lived here.

But ODS told me to never put my own money in the game. Said he who is forever buying expansion packs and stuffs for his PS5. I'm absolutely guilty of spending RL money on my games, I realize I never "see" anything from it that's tangible, but it makes me happy. Do what you want, Nabster! Do you have all your stuff in one room or do you have storage all over the place? I have all my large chests outside so I don't have to go inside to get my stuff. I did put 3 inside after Eternity Isle came out that I started putting all those materials in. I organized prior to them adding the auto-sort function from your inventory, so it was a HUGE pain. Now it's much easier. I start with going through all the chests and yanking out one category like flowers. Then I pick which chest and dump them. Remembering what's in what? HAH! These cottages and such that I am buying. I have a fairy cottage and a comfy summer cottage and some others. I would like to have the summer cottage set-up as my house. But it won't really be my house will it? I did place one the other day. I have to completely renovate it. Is there some magic that I have to do to get my storage stuff over? Or am I misunderstanding videos where they say they are making that "their" house for whatever season? If I go into those houses, will I restore my energy? I believe having a cottage - the kind that you did not change your house into - is like having a 2nd home. Like how in ACNH, you would have a 2nd account as a storage house or something? I'm unsure about the energy restoration though. So many questions for a game. I really shouldn't have rolled my eyes at my sons when they were so into their games when they lived here. I've been gaming since I was 6 and Santa brought us a Nintendo. I still catch myself rolling my eyes when my kids do something in their own games as if I haven't spent years doing the same thing on my games.

I've been playing for a few months now on the free 3 month game pass I got with the XBox. I keep getting what I think are moonstones when I open the blue chests but can't see what to spend these on. They're not like dreamlight so help!

They're not like dreamlight so help! I play on a Switch so bear with me. There is a + button on the top right and this pulls up a menu scroll. It tells you what your dream chores are, your map, your collections, event and there is a shop. The shop would be where they put up items for sale. Usually big ticket items - a house, a castle, several bundled items from a movie, the large balloon from Up, seasonal skins for characters, etc. They have been bringing back items from past Star Paths and selling them for moonstones. For those of us that missed out in the early release of the game. Those items can only be bought with moonstones. I don't find enough blue chests(or don't hunt them as I should) to have a large build up of moonstones. I get a case of I want it all sometimes with the items in the shop. There is always 1 page with about 4 items on there. They throw in a 2 pager every now and then.

I'm getting most of my Moonstones from doing the Dreamsnaps stuff! I get 600 usually, and once in a while I score big with over 1000! That and finishing the star path - I'm stingy with what I spend them on so I sill have quite a few. Waiting for that damn beach house to come back!

I have been on a decorating kick lately - I'm struggling to get Gaston, Rapunzel and Eve upgraded to 10 - SO slow. I've joined a FB group- Dreamlight Valley Tips & TricksAnd I've been saving some posts for inspiration/copying. I've added a few floors to my main house, and have a gem room set up for saving all my gems. Trying to collect enough stone/soft wood to make a whole bunch of small chests so I can have a flower storage room and then a supply room (wood, rocks all the crafting stuff). I have finally make a huge garden area with all the trees & berry bushes moved to one spot. I have a plot for every Valley veggie/fruit you can grow, and a small chest at each garden spot to save the harvest & extra seeds for that spot. Next up is to set up a Scar area in the Eternity side - I saved a post from that FB group and want to do something similar. I have my bakery set up - but only two rooms decorated so far, the main one and a side one for a library. But I'm waiting for more fun things to show up at Scrooge's shop for decor! I have 30 minutes of work left in the cake studio today and then it is DDLV time!

cakediva I have only just gotten into the Dreamsnaps. The first one I did it seems I got 1200! The next couple were very low. I just submitted the Moana challenge this week. Patting myself on the back, I am pretty darn proud of that one. I hope that it scores high. I need to go check out that FB group. I was in one for ACNH and it became too much so I muted it. Since I need all the help I can get with DDV, I need to run and join for inspo. I quickly viewed a couple of videos this morning on her valley set up and decorating. They were gorgeous and full of items. I guess I really need to up my game on buying and DIYing some things. We all really need to get to a comfy spot and visit each other. Like ACNH. Hopefully, with the upcoming update they are making changes to the visiting. But I have done nothing to my village except plop down houses when I got a new villager. I tried to make it all make sense with placements but spots were a bit jumbled. I have moved Ursula and Ariel. I also moved Vanellope from where her original spot was. Oh and with this past weeks challenge, I moved Moana and Maui's houses closer to her boat. So it is rather dreary and dull on my little bit of heaven but I am ready to start working on it. This weekend is supposed to be rainy and cool again. I won't be able to do a lot of outside work. This afternoon, my plan is to attack the inside and make it good enough for me to feel no guilt as I play this weekend.

I keep seeing in that group people who have opened up their valleys for people - I'm excited to do that here with the Peas once I have things looking nice lol. But I'm thinking that since I'm on PS4 I won't be able to visit anybody who isn't on PS4

Do these also come with Game Pass do you know? If you already purchased Rift in Time, this is part II of it, so you won't need to purchase anything else. There will also be free content if you have chosen not to get Rift in Time. Something for everyone. Wednesday is just a sneak and more details.

I don't even know who Oswald is. I mean, I did look him up when I kept reading how much people were excited for him but yeah, I got nuthin'.
I'm not sure how I feel about Daisy. I hope she calms Donald down. He's on the list of avoidance if possible. Which means he is not a level 10 yet. Guess I need to get to work on that.
I spent Friday afternoon and Saturday grinding for resources and growing pumpkins. Until I had to stop. My older pup, Scout, ran after a squirrel and got hit by a car. So a run to the Emergency Vet happened. He is ok, a broken sacrum(sp). Which means no jumping or activity for a week. He's a Catahoula Husky mix. Please tell me how you can keep that mix calm. We are doing it but man, it's hard!
I brought my Switch to the office in hopes of a little play after all work is done. I am in the process of moving all my storage to a larger room and getting all like items into proper storage. I am also working on decorating my Meadow with a tree lined walk. I needed mini lamps over the weekend to finish the look but Scrooge's didn't have them. Until Monday!! It's like I manifested them! I bought 10 to start with. It's really shaping up to be a lovely look. I'm also trying to gather all the flowers I can. Wanting to unlock some other DIYs.

Ugh I'm the same place with storage!
I've decided floor #2 of my main house will be the storage floor. I have a gem room all set, thanks to safes from Scrooge. But my "crafting" room was done with chests - took forever to make enough! And I'm still needing a few more. I need another row or two for "crafted" things like fabric, twine & glass so I always have them.
Kitchen is set up, but nowhere near enough chests - mostly for spices & things I don't "grow" - I have a huge half of my Sunlit area as a garden, with a chest at each plot for storage of harvested veggies, plus all the trees & bushes, so I don't need them in the kitchen.
Don't even want to start with the flower room - there are 40 kinds! That's a LOT of chests lol.

The only people who care about him are the hardcore Disney fans, IMO. He's not who I would've chosen to add to the game, but what do I know? I'm glad Donald will have Daisy, he's a favorite of mine. They did him dirty in this game though. I reply to posts chronologically, so forgive me for not first expressing my sadness about Scout. I hope he heals quickly! Stupid squirrels! I still haven't watched the 5 minute video, but fully expect DD to give me the highlights later today.

He will heal and is already trying to run after the squirrels in the backyard. We are having to take him out on a lead and he is really pulling on it. His little sister was really disturbed by it all. She was just behind him. I guess it's a good think she's a bit slower or she would have been hit also.

The update is live!
If your Switch doesn't update automatically, click the + when you've highlighted DLV on your Menu screen and it'll bring up the menu to check for updates.

I have my Switch with me today to do the upload. I am now wondering if I need to wait. The FB group I am in is up in arms with thoughts and questions. A Daisy quest no one understands, someone had a corrupted software issue, someone has already found a glitch.
I saw someone post they did a Star Path and only had 20 minutes to do it. I am assuming they had a timed task? le sigh...I may wait. Oh, who am I kidding? As soon as I get an opportunity, I will update.

Don't buy the 3D glasses from Scrooge's shop until Oswald tells you to!!! It's bugged and won't let you proceed with the quest line if you jump the gun. Like me. /sigh - They're working on it.
Otherwise, I haven't had issues. Aside from not completely understanding "Daisy's Challenge" in the boutique and therefore cancelling the current one and now having to wait over 7 hours for a new one... because they're 24-hour challenges, FYI. Part of the process... part of the process..

I managed to get Daisy and the first quest done - took some googling and FB group searching lol. I’ve never done touch of magic stuff so that was a learning curve for sure!
I was too tired to do much more - I did clear 50 thorns so I have one star duty done lol. I’m debating the UP house or the park entry. Although Hei Hei is freaking adorable!

I will be getting Hei Hei if I have to buy moonstones. I have an animatronic Hei Hei and I love to press the button on and terrorize the pups with him. I made the sound last night and my youngest pup woke up and ran over to me. Making sure I was ok. I haven't played any on the new stuff yet. I am on vacation next week with my YDS. He is a Navy recruiter and will be working most days next week. I will explore/shop on my own and then maybe play a bit. He does play PS5 games with some friends at night. So when that happens I won't feel bad about pulling out the Switch. I want the UP house. I love that movie. I have the UP balloon basket.
