yes and they attract the rare bugs throughout the seasons. You can also make colorful and cute patches with the other colors

733 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

yes its a game that should be played sloowwly hehe no rushing in AC! not against time skipping though

732 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

That's probably a result of time jumping. If I were you guys just top the time jumping! AC is much more enjoyable without it :)

731 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Are you time jumping? That will probably cause stuff like new villagers to pop in. I'm not sure tho, I'm not time travelling..

730 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

It seems odd that random villagers move in even tho I never talked to them or even saw them before.

729 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

It's either through Timmy and Tommy or redeeming nook miles.. I don't quite remember which, but it was a little recipe booklet called something along the lines of "Beginners DIY" that gives you a few new recipes!

728 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Last night my sister started playing, and she unlocked a few DIY recipes such as bird house, tiki torch and wooden stakes. I have started playing this morning and don't have these recipes. Where can I get it?

727 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I heard that if you water them consistently, they cross pollinate into more colorful, rare flowers.

726 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

The very first to come to your campsite, you are required to invite. There is no dialog option to say no and you can't back out. After that, anyone else who comes to the campsite can be rejected. Or if you have any amiibo cards, you can force him out once you’re at the max number of villagers.

725 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

When villagers move into the campsite, do they automatically move to your island? Because usually I’m not mean to villagers and don’t care if they’re “ugly” but I’m terrified of clowns so Pietro cannot move to my island but he’s in my campsite, is there a nice way to politely decline him when he asks to move in?

724 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Watering plants isn't required, they will bloom regardless of being watered. So don't worry.

723 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Does anyone know if we should water all of our flowers every day? What about when it rains?

722 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Still haven’t gotten a single cherry blossom recipe. I’ve played daily since the update and spent nearly all day yesterday playing. Shot down every solid color balloon I came across. Any tips?

721 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I find that best way to make villagers leave is to ignore them completely. That means don't talk to them, don't accept any of their requests, not even when they're making DIY projects. Keep an eye on them during the next days and at some point they'll have a thought cloud above their head, that means they are conflicted. That's when you want to talk to them, it'll probably mean they want to move out. It'll take days but it seems that's the best way.

720 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I'm not sure but I think you can make your own spot for it.

719 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

In addition to this I've usually been able to get a recipe from visiting villager houses on a friend's island too, and mystery islands may, but not always, have a bottle. Also, there's always one furniture and one wasp nest in two trees! The only exceptions are any islands that don't have any hardwood trees (e.g., bamboo island, or the island with all fruit trees).

718 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Hey a question for you guys who already have terraforming tool. Can you remove the original spot where the river starts on the map, and where it is on the island?

717 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Check beaches for bottles, visit villagers houses to see if they are crafting, pop balloons, invite campers with Amiibo and get recipes from them, plus there's the ones from Celeste and maybe more ways I may have missed. Good luck!

716 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I’m finding it really hard to find decent DIYs... am I doing something wrong? I keep seeing people with fully furnished homes and I don’t even have enough to make anything other than shitty wooden block furniture. I'm getting jealous :/

715 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

You can use them as wearable crown or combine them to make decor items. They will grow back in a couple of days so don't you worry!

714 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Hey guys.. what do you do with the flowers you pick? Not sure what to do with them. Will new ones grow back? Should I replant them?

713 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Do villagers finish donating last bells for inclines/bridges? Currently, I already have an incline that's missing 7 bells, but my current amount of bells is at a nice round number, and I don't want to not have that.

712 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Tip for Northern Hemisphere: Cherry blossoms and recipes only available through April 10th. The short timeframe corresponds to the short window for cherry blossom viewing in the real world. Where I am they are blooming right now :)

711 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I’m kind of sad, this game has been out for two weeks now and yet, no hint of the rococo furniture series. I would have also loved it if the mermaid and princess one came back as well.

710 AccomplishedStick9 AccomplishedStick9 almost 6 yearsReport

I really want to visit a 5-star-island. I have saw videos of them but I want to actually see one myself. My island is no where near that but I want to see what I am trying to make or maybe even ideas for my island. And if you want to add me here is my code SW-2132-2652-3440 Thanks

709 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

If you let the game sleep overnight my experience is that you can skip medicine and your eye will still heal

708 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

What if I don't use medicine? Will it take until the next day? or after a week?

707 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

You can fix it with medicine, buy it from the shop! You can also talk to a villager, they might give you the DIY recipe (nest + 3 weeds).

706 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I got stung by wasps and it makes me feel uncomfortable. How long will it take for it to go away?

705 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I suggest you use Stone. I only use Iron ax for cutting down trees.But really depends on you.
