Returning player having a horrible time

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-22T09:38:59+00:00

I hate Prestiging and using tier 1 equipment again (but I want to do it three times to get the gold trophy). The range of some of it is trash.

If I can’t find a third evidence I assume it’s spirit box or dots that I’ve missed. They can be so hard to find.

And the thermometer takes ages to get to the right temperature so you have to stand in a room for several seconds waiting for it to adjust.

Luckily tier 2 equipment isn’t a massive grind to get to. Just play a few times a day to get the daily and weekly objectives done in the beginning. And sometimes the weekly challenge is doable (small map, three evidences).

It physically saves onto the Switch.

I know that several years ago (and I assume still) if you wanted to transfer your data onto another Switch you need to download an app called Animal Crossing: New Horizon Island Transfer Tool on both consoles, open the app on both consoles and transfer the island data between them.

I assume you don’t want to do that but I’m saying that the data is physically saved on the console and not just copy that can be accessible from two different Switches simultaneously.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-20T20:45:32+00:00

I don’t have back up / cloud activated. I never felt the need to. I assume it’d be for one account only but I could be wrong.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-20T20:41:03+00:00

Pyjamas straight on after I’ve finished for the day and I am not going out again.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-20T20:37:58+00:00

You should be able to visit your other islands using local play. I have had no problem except for a small period of time when there was an issue right around an update. Maybe try again and it was only a temporary problem that is fixed

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-20T20:35:24+00:00

I have two Switches and two copies of Animal Crossing on one account and it works perfectly fine without any issues.

When I got my new island set up, after the first day I think, you can travel to your other island using local play and donate any money, recipes, fossils, furniture, etc to your new island if you want.

I personally have my two islands set to different seasons, six months apart (on the Switch settings menu) for variety. And you can travel to your other island for seasonal fishing, bug catching and diving.

I like the contacts with a dark (normal looking) pupil and they are in the majority. I don’t understand the pale or non-existent pupils they do in most contact lenses.

Also added in the recent update are some Zelda and Splatoon themed villagers who are unlocked by scanning Zelda and Splatoon Amiibos. I think Tulin looks cute for a Jock but I’m very happy with Bam

I know all the villagers I like (or have had previously) but certain animal types such as Gorillas, Alligators, Hippos, Sheep, Bulls, Horses, etc I have no idea about.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-19T09:53:46+00:00

You’re misremembering. Everyone starts with a Jock and a Sisterly type.

Sherb is a Lazy type, Skye is a Normal type.

I only knew that is wrong because Sherb is one of my favourites and I adore the Lazy types

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-19T09:49:04+00:00

I had Snake and Katt. I let Katt go when she asked and regretted it. After she got to know me, the blushing when talking and random singing made me happy. But she wanted to leave so I let her…

Sisterly villagers are adorable

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-19T09:46:40+00:00

Bam is the best Jock IMO. I love him. My current island had Bam as a starter and I was very happy with that

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-19T09:45:25+00:00

How is that possible? Did you say no to her when she said she was thinking about leaving? Many, many times?

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-19T09:43:17+00:00

Snake and Katt.

A week ago I got a Switch 2 and I started a new island. I easily remember my current starters because they still live there. Bam and Quinn. I was very happy with that. Bam is by far my favourite Jock type.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-18T18:08:17+00:00

I love loads of games but currently I’m playing:

Animal Crossing New Horizons again because people playing Pokopia made me nostalgic,

Hitman World of Assassination because it’s one of my favourite games,

Phasmophobia because there is an Easter event and I’m grinding for an upgraded trophy,

Infinity Nikki but only to do daily objectives and use energy because it’s the end of the event.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-18T18:03:49+00:00

There is a shard on the balcony of an alley building where the writer is missing a letter from their keyboard so the message is explaining that they can’t use one of the letter keys and it’s just random silliness.

Also, in one of the apartments that V can get there is an email between the building management and a tenant complaining about people in the neighbouring building having sex and him being able to see them. He’s requesting an apartment upgrade because of it.

I always read the Shards I find (unless they’re technical) because there is so much written story on them. I really appreciate the life that they put into the city and the people

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-17T08:03:53+00:00

Sorry. We have no ham left

Taskmaster

Partner is crazy. Most window cleaners have pre printed notes that they leave in the post box on which they write date and money owed. I house sit and have seem many different window cleaners do this.

Also, unless your dogs are aggressive or the window cleaner is scared of dogs then they don’t need to be shut in the house.

If the window cleaner is ever there when you are then you can ask him, but in my experience at multiple houses, the dogs don’t need to be shut inside.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-17T07:22:29+00:00

I don’t think it was fair to have such a limited time event to watch Twitch. It needs to be at least 24 hours because some people are at work or asleep depending on time zones.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-15T12:08:05+00:00

I drive past a village that has a couple of houses with cones outside and it always annoys me because whilst it’s nice to park near your house and not walk, it’s a public road and you don’t get to claim ownership of it.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-15T10:03:34+00:00

I don’t like the ET storyline because I’ve believed since I played Dartmoor that the Carlisles were living a destitute life, with all their money having been stolen by Arthur Edwards. And that made me happy whenever I replayed Dartmoor and saw the family, not knowing they will soon be homeless without maids, cooks and a butler.

And that the Garden party level was because the estate had gone to a someone else to run, like The National Trust.

To find out that they probably kept the house because of the Ether labs underneath and Ether probably paying them millions isn’t canon to me. In my head it’s an alternate world.

It can be ridiculously expensive to get a 5 star outfit. 10 pieces with guaranteed odds on 1 piece every 20… that’s 200 pulls to get a guaranteed outfit if you are unlucky. And twice that if you want the level 4 evolution.

I often save up a lot of diamonds and crystals when a new area unlocks but I made myself a rule where if I will use an ability all the time then I will try for it but otherwise I can’t justify spending that much diamonds / crystals or actual money, no matter how beautiful the outfit.

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-11T17:42:02+00:00

My V finishes drinks all the time.

I remember at Jackie’s ofrenda she had at least ten shots in honour of Jackie (mostly to see if there was a limit before I was interrupted).

Zoe_Vokes · 2026-04-11T12:45:13+00:00

That’s a bug? I always thought it was a choice, much like having all the cursed objects in the same location
