oh, never saw anything like that. mine have always been once a day. my wife and I both play on the same island, each of us gets one spawn a day when we log in. but say, I log in first, I only see my bottle. if she doesn't log in at all that day, then it's only going to spawn mine.

Hi. I had a villager moving to a friend of mine. Because I wants it back later. The problem is that I have 10 villagers. So when the day comes that he wants to move & I wants to invite him back I have to have a empty plot. I read that if I did some time traveling. Found someone who is thinking about moving I could convince them. Should I then TT to the day after that when it's in boxes?? Then go to my friend & invite my villager I want to have back. Then go to the correct date? Is that okay?

Hmmm, from the launch until a few weeks before the July update there was a morning bottle found on either the northern beach, e.g. & then later in the day the 2nd bottle would be found on the opposite beach. They would rotate daily. Now, that's not occurring.

Hi Nat, thank you for your reply. :). I've done this but he still does not show up in my friend lists on animal crossing and we've visited each other's islands too. I'm quite stumped.

1324 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

Its because it only spawns every 24 hours... weird for me cuz yesterday it didn't spawn as it was meant to...

Hi, He's on my switch, with my ACNH game. He has a small house on my island. I want to delete his house. I can't find a friend code for him. Besides, I couldn't find the Home menu for ACNH.

1322 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

why is my island only spawning ONE message bottle per 24 hours? Thanks

1321 Nat Nat over 5 yearsReport

Add him through the friend settings when you click on the home button you need his friend code to add him you both have a code that will show in settings when you go to your page in the top left corner.

My grandson has a character on my island. I had hoped he could get his own island. How do I remove his character from my island? He is NOT a villager, so I can't just kick him off the island like a villager. Thanks in advance for the info!

I'm trying to friend my son in ACNH, we are friends on Switch online, but he doesn't show up in my friends list in-game. I have to play local only with him which is a pain. I'd like to send him mail or order catalogue items for him.

OMG thank you so much! I understand how to breed flowers now! sorry for the late reply :)

1317 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

The designs will change if you delete it, unless it is a customisation. If you only put it in display, it will get changed

1316 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

Does anyone have the hello kitty set of posters?

1315 dld dld over 5 yearsReport

Somehow when I now put down a custom design, it changes existing designs throughout my island ... not all of them, just some. Any idea what I did to make this happen?

1314 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

If it's only two (of the same kind), I put them aside by side or one space in between if you want to clone them. If you are trying to get a Hybrid ie. Pink roses, put them beside each other. It you're after multiple hybrids ie pink roses again, I find the checkerboard pattern worries the best.

any used NOOKAZON before? would like to get something but i havnt used it before

1312 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

Hi, I'm new to the game and have a few questions on breeding flowers. When you breed flowers, do you put 2 of them next to each other and water them? or can they be put diagonally?

1311 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

Hmm... I think all the progress might be lost (Dunno for sure tho...)... Please be careful! I would feel very sad if someone lost their save data!

1310 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

Yes I know about this! After a villager moves out, the lot will be vacant on that day and will be sold the next day. If you don't want this to happen, then go on a mystery island tour to look for a villager before the next day the lot will be automatically sold! :)

1309 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

For trading you can trade whatever you like; fruits, recipes, furniture, and etc. This can be done by having a dodo code to someone's island provided from them... Also, when you want to trade, you must visit the other person's island OR they can come to you! :)

Since the zodiac sign dates officially changed... Do you think ACNH will also change their dates and add the new constellation?? What do you guys think? Should they change it or not?

1307 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

anyone here, come across the problem where you have a vacant lot for a couple of days while your hunting for a new villager. Than the game just decides for you who moves in. than the lot says sold and you have no choice.

1306 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

You have to wait till the house is gone

1303 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

I have a villager moving out (in boxes) today and I have a camper on my campsite. Will that camper automatically moved in the next day? Also, when will i find possible villager on mystery island? Will it be during ‘boxes’ day or the next day when the house is completely gone?

1302 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

I have a personal character on my sisters switch. If I sign in with my Nintendo account logged on to her switch to a new switch, will I still live on my sisters island or do I have to start all over again?

1301 Anonymous Anonymous over 5 yearsReport

Hi. Can someone fill me in on how trading works? Do we have to visit each other’s islands, or is there another way?

I have Cherries. What is your code?
