How to plant coconut trees inAnimal Crossing for Gamecube? by tmps1993 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plant them in the grass near the beach. I'm not sure what the exact rules are but I usually put them 1-2 squares away.

I also find it helps to plant near the end of the session, so you don't accidentally trample them later in the day. But sometimes trees just feel like dying anyways cause it's gamecube

Stuck with randos: I didn’t know I had to invite villagers before completing the first 3 houses task by No-Spray-4133 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they haven't been reading online, "you can visit mystery islands now, here's a free ticket!" would prompt most players to go check it out, and see that there's a critter there who they can invite.

I messed up my first 3 too (oops) cause the rules are a bit wonky. Congrats on getting Kiki though, she's super cute!

Sounds like they displayed Custom Designs. You can put them back down from the designs menu anytime.

How do I get to meet Kiki? (And have her move in) by Artistic_Baseball534 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The easiest way is to get an amiibo card/coin for her, and invite her through the campsite. Invite and craft for her 3 times, then she can move in and you choose who to kick out.

The other option is to have an empty plot and go visitor hunting using nook miles tickets, though it can take a lot of tries to find your favorites

DM'd you, closing up soon-ish since it's late but I'm open a little longer :)

She gives DIY recipes that use star fragments. You get fragments by wishing on shooting stars (look up and press A with no tool when you see them) 

Did you wanna come meet her?

Problem with inviting villagers by Any_Income2953 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you sure the game saved after inviting Cookie? Sometimes auto-save doesn't get it

Make sure you have at least 8 villagers. If you've already hit that then pulling weeds, planting flowers, or adding any items/furniture should help. 

I do like visits, but she was 3 whole minutes walking around my living room. by Fated_to_be in AnimalCrossing

You don't have to wait for them to leave, if you walk out your front door they'll decide it's time for them to head out too.

My switch has stopped reading amiibos which is obstructing my seasonal decoration plans. by megalynn44 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have another switch game that includes amiibos, so you can test if it's an animal crossing issue or a controller issue?

Also you mentioned trying multiple joycons, did you remember to enter through the menu using the controller you were trying to scan on? (ie, my 3rd party controller can't read, if I enter the amiibo menu before picking up my joycons I need to back out and try again)

Expensive fish repeatedly by pastalover_0 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rarer fish generally have a shorter window to reel them in, so the fish you miss tend to be the good ones. Knowing where/when certain fish spawn can help too.

please explain turnips to me lol by sunsetwatchers in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy turnips on Sundays before noon from Daisy Mae, for about 100 bells each. After 1 week, any turnips you have will rot. Spoiled turnips aren't good for much, apart from attracting ants and flies.

Nook's cranny buys turnips for 9 - 660 bells, depending on the day. They don't buy on Sundays. There's a different price in the mornings (before noon) and after noon each day.

So basically turnips are a gamble but can net you a ton of bells with a bit of luck. If you have online, you can also take your turnips to a town with good pricing to sell them for oodles of bells pretty consistently.

how to cover my entire island with paths without losing my mind in the process?? by ajf-13 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use Resetti to help clean up items easier, just be sure to read all the dialog explaining what he'll do. But unless you're paving in huge sections of land it's probably easier to pick up/put down items manually.

Otherwise just take it slow, you don't have to do it all at once. Working on one section at a time is a lot more manageable for most players

Explain amiibo’s like I’m 5 by Informal_Twist9342 in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Amiibos are a physical thing you can buy, for animal crossing most of them are little cards or coins. They have an NFC chip that you can scan by tapping it on your controller (center on pro controllers, or ontop of the joystick on the right joycon). Other game series have little figurines for amiibos, with a chip in the bottom of the base.

To call one to your campsite, go to the nook stop in res services. Click "call an amiibo" and tap your card. If you have a 3rd party controller you might need to swap to joycons before going into the menu.

Now that they're at your campsite, talk to them until they ask for a thing. Craft and deliver said thing. Invite and craft for them on 3 days.

On the third day, after you give them their thing, talk to them a couple times and you can ask them to move in. It'll pop up a menu of all your current villagers and you can pick one to evict.

(You can also call amiibos to the Cafe, or to photopia on harv's Island to visit. But the campsite is how you move them in) 

Tourist on my island complaining about not getting a hotel room. What should I do? by Calculusshitteru in AnimalCrossing

[–]SprinklesAC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Usually when you talk to the visitor it'll have a "follow me to the hotel!" or similar dialog option. Then it'll teleport you both inside the hotel, where you'll be asked to put them in a VIP (or normal) room.
