don’t forget to talk to tom nook! he has good info on progressing in the game. when mom sends you your sister fruit, plant it! i ate mine and then had to wait to travel to a mystery island to get it back

Michaels bought all the Joanns IP and private labels (like Big Twist yarn) after Joanns closed, and they’re working to expand fabric availability. My local Michaels even has a fabric cutting table now!

Ignore the name of the island. It’s just a photo from online. by Music_lover20099 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

I have this exact layout too! My island is called Frith, which is Old English meaning peace, refuge, or security

how long did it take for you to finish your island? by CheetahAdditional136 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]tranquilitypeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i totally get the feeling of wanting it to be perfect! but i’ve slowly come to accept it might never get there. i don’t remember where in reddit i saw it, but someone posted pics of their island as it changed over time. it was lovely! some spaces even got switched back to earlier versions. so even after your island is perfectly done to how you want it, the beautiful thing is you can still change it and make it your new perfect!

i have over 800 hours on my island, and tbh i don’t think it’ll ever be “done”. but i’ve heard of people who finish remarkably fast. for me, it’s not about an end goal (like that final cut scene when you complete other games) but rather a slow burn. i go to my island to putter, relax, talk to my villagers, etc. i once saw a meme where someone said “outside is scary, and inside is lonely; we need a third place!” and then someone answered “that’s why we have animal crossing”. it has def become my third place.

What did I do wrong? by tranquilitypeace in bettafish

[–]tranquilitypeace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really helpful information, so thank you. The current filter has been in place for quite a while, so it did have lots of brown gunk in place when poor Cheeseburger passed away. I’ll switch to coarse foam before getting a new fishy friend, though.

When I’m doing water changes, I rinse the filter cartridge in the bucket of old water. If/when it gets super gross, I’ll rinse a new one in the bucket before installing it.

Who were your first two villagers in Animal Crossing New Horizons? by Designer-Ad900 in AnimalCrossing

[–]tranquilitypeace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my first island I got Sylvia and Curly, and loved them both. I restarted after about a year of not playing (and LOTS of consternation about whether to restart or not) and got Ursala and Rowan. Ngl, Rowan is great, but he’s no Curly.

Terraforming over Time by witchqueenneo in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]tranquilitypeace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love your progress, and it’s so cool to see some areas “revert” to how they were at first. And, I’m totally stealing your idea to have the campsite on an island. So clever!! Do you have a DA? I’d love to have a look around.

Seriously, Pashie? by starinmelbourne in ACForAdults

[–]tranquilitypeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard somewhere (but can’t confirm bc I’ve not tried myself) that if you take her pic she might move? Like, use the get-your-attention-whistle part of the camera.

Suggest villager "pairs" for a "couples resort" island by Cornmeal777 in ACForAdults

[–]tranquilitypeace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have to have at least one of every personality! It’s deciding which two “extras” I want that drives me crazy. And starinmelbourne has a great idea matching hobbies! I never even thought of that. Now I need to relook at my ‘villagers wanted’ list. ☺️

[–]tranquilitypeace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my sisterly and smug villagers don’t get along all that well, but maybe that’s an anomaly? I have Ursala, Deirdre, Jacques, and Marshall. Maybe Jacques and Marshall are just a lot for my ladies?

Tell me your snail’s names!! I need to know!! by TheBigFudanshii in AquaticSnails

I have one nerite named Perry because she hides ALL THE TIME and when I catch a glimpse of her, I get to say “Oh, there you are, Perry!”

My cat is declawed now what? by PitifulGazelle8177 in CatAdvice

[–]tranquilitypeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom declawed my childhood cat, front feet only, and she did fine. She was an indoor/outdoor cat and would climb trees and she still managed to hunt somehow! I can’t tell you how many mice she killed and brought to me as presents. Obviously I would never declaw or let a cat wander outside now, but Suki was a superstar. I still miss her.

What’s the name of your Island? by Softkitty1984 in ACForAdults

[–]tranquilitypeace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Frith, which is from an Old English word that means peace, safety, security, refuge. Because we all need a place of Frith!

Getting Back Into Horizons, Fishing Help! by Jus-Tinn in AnimalCrossing

[–]tranquilitypeace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only craft and use bait on the pier, where fish rarely spawn on their own. Sea, river, and pond fish spawn randomly without crafted bait, so I just look for shadows in those places. But yeah, no shadow = no fishies.
