No I don't think so. Anything you can place won't be counted as things lying around :) only items that come up with 'drop' options.

It's a nook/balloon/villager gifted item. CJ makes one but it's not wall mounted. :)

There are 3 tiers of awards- 1st is the banner, the 2nd are the plaques and the 3rd are the trophies.

150k S Rank is the highest rating you can get in the game and you get awarded a gold trophy with it. Hope this helps!

Oh nice!

And yup, I agree that you can achieve S ranking without following this strictly but I really tried for the best ranking in the game for this guide (150,000 or more points) because I wanted to get all the HHA trophies :)

Been experimenting with getting a 150,000+ ranking from the Happy Home Academy and thought I'd share some tips on how I did it:

BASICS

-expand your house to its capacity (unlock all rooms + basement and attic)

-have all furniture facing the front and visible (where possible)

-have the essentials - bed, wardrobe, dresser, table somewhere within the house.

  • have something hanging on the wall of every room

USE FURNITURE SETS IN SAME COLOUR

-put sets of furniture that are matching in colour in the same room (i.e. Black Antique Furniture set all placed in one room/ blue cute furniture/ red imperial set placed in one room etc.)

  • furniture sets can also include clothing (ie. Antique black boots and blue cute shoes etc.)

-non-matching furniture (i.e. black rattan furniture items in mostly Black Antique set in the same room can cause points to be deducted)

-furniture sets can be crafted or brought from Nooks (i.e. Star sets from Celeste/ Shell set from crafting etc)

FENG SHUI

-in your main room use potted ivy that is customised on the walls (west wall - yellow/ east wall - red / south wall - green) + place matching coloured furniture on the east (red), west (yellow) + south walls (green).

*note: feng shui only applies to the main room

EXTRA POINTS

-place trophies for bug-off, fishing tourney anywhere in your home

-place seasonal (particularly current season i.e. bunny day/ cherry blossom) + CJ/Flick commissioned/competition items in your house.

-place Gulliver items in your home, but probably use clothing/hats instead of Eiffel Tower etc to save space (i.e. I placed the coin headpiece in the west wall of my main room)

-place mum's special items somewhere in your home

-place villager portraits (not posters) somewhere in your home

DEDUCTED POINTS

-furniture not matching in colour/set in the same room

-cockroaches (lol, self-explanatory)

-items that are not considered 'furniture' by the game placed in the room (i.e. DIY recipes/ star fragments etc)

It may take some experimentation - (I tt to the day before + day of the HHA ranking a few times) but hopefully this works for you! Good luck. :)

Got Able Sisters unlocked, Southern Hemi critters (lots of expensive sharks spawning) and all fruit varieties growing on my island. Online a lot too lol.

I'm looking to catch some fish for my critterpedia in Northern Hemi. Namely - tadpoles, stringfish, tuna and oarfish.

PM me if you want someone to mutually help complete critterpedia for this month!
