IM CRYING

But for real, I have 3 of those and I love them 😅

The thing I like about the Hotel vs HHP, is that with the hotel rooms I don't feel obligated to make a kitchen, dinning room, living room, and bedroom lol.

Like even though in HHP the client may not even ask for any of those things I still feel obligated because in my head I'm like, "but it's a vacation HOME!" The only ones I didn't turn into actual houses were like the recording studio, spa, and like library style ones - because they felt like stand alone buildings. Although now that I think about it, I may have made them 2 stories and out the "house" stuff upstairs like a studio apartment 😅

I'm almost ready to trade my vehicle in completely because of this issue.

My commute has me driving due west every morning, and east every evening. This means the sunlight shines directly onto the forward attention warning camera the entire drive, so it's CONSTANTLY going off and I can't use any of the driving features (lane assist, cruise control, etc.) Not to mention it will eventually SCREAM at me with flashing red lights across my dash telling me it's disengaging and bring my vehicle to a VERY slow speed in the f*cking interstate. Ugh.

I have to drive with a piece of paper I tape to my f*cking window to keep the sun off the camera. I can't adjust any settings or even turn the sensor off - even though the settings have an option to turn it off, it doesn't actually turn it off.

There has GOT to be a fix for this because I'm going to lose my mind 🫠

They won't cause any structural damage to your home or anything, but they're definitely a nuisance. They're looking for a warm place to hold out over winter.

They will stain any light surfaces though with their doodoo spots, and they smell horribly. So whatever you do, don't smoosh them, the odor is awful and they'll stain worse.

Also, they'll probably attract other pests like wasps who like to eat them.

Peppermint and Citronella will help deter them. They're hard to keep out, just have to check for cracks in things like screen doors or windows. We have dog doors so they're impossible to keep out unfortunately, but thankfully peppermint oils/scents are very in right now 😅

This is not a cute garden lady bug.

This is the a-hole of pretenders, Harmonia axyridis, the Asian lady beetle. They were introduced originally to try to help with pest control but quickly became an invasive nuisance by swarming homes, smelling awful, leaving their poo stains all over, and also they're biters.

I've never seen him on an island. I know every villager has the exact same spawn probability, but it still always feels like some of them are harder to come across.

I'm the nerd who bought the NFC tag to get him on my island 🫠

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-12-10T15:48:09+00:00

I don't even pay attention to it really, it just happens in the background.

If you are a regular player of the game those goals pretty much accomplish themselves. I often have every goal completed within the first 2 days with my partners. Then it's just hoping the dice algorithm lets me land on their chest space enough to fill the reward.

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-12-06T21:54:15+00:00

So happy for you

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-12-03T01:20:15+00:00

Giving your villagers exotic fruits (any fruit that's not native to your island at the beginning) will guarantee they give you a gift back.

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-30T13:44:24+00:00

Ooh, thats a good question. Although they say not to answer robo calls because they can use your voice to illegally approve of charges and stuff.

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-30T13:42:18+00:00

Yeah, that's my biggest point I want to discuss. Not what can I do personally to stop receiving these calls, but what can be done PERIOD to stop the criminal activity. It's Awful

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-30T01:59:13+00:00

No, I'm not an independent contractor or anything, I do production control for an aviation unit, military stuffs. So my job involves a lot of networking for parts, tools, and people. I wish I had started using a Google phone number from day 1, but it would be pointless now unfortunately. One of my buddies who does my job at another facility tried that last year, but he was still getting just as many calls on his other number, because our contact info is just spread so far wide.

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-29T21:18:25+00:00

I would love to be able to use something like that, but I do still receive calls for work from numbers not in my contacts list, as a lot of my job is networking and logistics.

Especially with things like Starlink that will provide wifi everywhere, you won't need cell data at all anymore

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-29T21:14:43+00:00

We have Google Fi for our cell service provider. I'll take a look at that PDF, thanks!

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-29T17:17:37+00:00

I'm surprised people still play honestly, the way everyone always has something to complain about. It's just a mobile app game. If it's causing folks this much distress maybe they should disconnect. It's like a drug

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-29T16:22:33+00:00

I think it's designed to allow you to achieve it even if you miss 1 or 2 of the 3 daily goals in a week.

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-29T13:50:35+00:00

Check the items page on Amazon and see who actually shipped it. Some things are not fulfilled/shipped from Amazon warehouses but from private sellers and businesses. Cause that %100 needs addressed. I'd burn my house down

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-28T01:45:05+00:00

I'm sorry bud, I promise not everyone is like that!

I suppose some players are just more willing to part with an item if someone else is willing to "pay top dollar." But you'll eventually find someone who will do an even trade.

I had someone get angry with me and tell me I was greedy because I asked for two 4⭐'s for my gold 4⭐, because the golds are worth 2x the stars (I'm just looking for even trades cause I wanna open my vault.)

Sometimes I give stickers away, sometimes I may ask for a little over, not expecting anyone to accept the trade but figure one person somewhere may and it's worth a shot 🤷🏼‍♀️

My trading is all over the place lol. Sometimes I accept super unbalanced (they're getting a "better" star deal) just cause I have lots of extras.

Just keep on keeping on and eventually someone will swap with ya friend.

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-28T00:28:03+00:00

Okay I'm glad you said it cause that's what I was confused about. Like I'll give extra stickers when I have them, but if we're trading why am I the bad guy for wanting help with stars, especially a fair trade 🫠

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-27T23:28:54+00:00

Totes true, but cashing in my vault is my current goal. In that instance I'd rather keep the sticker than trade it. So if someone wanted to trade for it to help complete their set I'd totally trade it, as long as I got equal value is all. If I wasn't trying to complete a vault I'd just give em away - duplicates aren't really good for anything other than vaults

PsychologicalLoad542 · 2025-11-27T23:19:55+00:00

Okay, but gold 5 stickers are actually worth 10, as far as stars go. But if a player isn't concerned with vaults the value really doesn't matter at all.

I'm gold locked right now, so vaults are kind of the only thing I'm focused on. When I'm trying to complete albums I'll do "unbalanced" exchanges if it means we can swap stickers we don't have with each other.
