Same question.. I keep accidentally hitting trees a third time with the steel one. And when using the stone one, it doesn’t last very long. I need to farm 20 regular wood.

|
703 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Guys! Hallpp! What do you use when farming for woods? Do you use Stone Axes or Steel Axes?

|
702 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Tom Nook will have you put a bridge to build and then it will be about setting aside plots of land for developing more houses for new villagers.

|
701 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Hello! I have a question, I already unlocked Museum. What's next step after unlocking it?

|
700 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

But is there a limit to the amount of items you can place outside?

|
699 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Unfortunately I'm still in the tent, so I guess I'll just leave my things outside. Thank you guys!

|
698 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Have you upgraded your house yet? You have storage in there. Also, you can just put stuff (especially fish and bug, they are stack-able) outside your home. No one will take them.

|
697 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

You can drop things anywhere and they will stay there. Like your fishes, you can just put it outside your house/tent.

|
696 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Hello guys, I’m having inventory issues. :( How does inventory work? My pockets are always full and it doesn’t look like I can just put stuff in that storage unit in the community center.

|
695 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I agree, its indeed better to just invite only the one's you trust XD

|
694 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

its a trust thing so you either trust the people or only invite friends, if you catch someone mid stealing you can just sleep your switch and itll keep them out and they wont keep their items

|
693 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

as many as you want, just set them by sending the requests in the Best Friends App

|
692 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

what will stop them from just taking and leaving without dropping something in return?

|
691 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Woah! This is so cool. Having best friends have more privilege. Can I have multiple best friends or no?

|
690 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Yes there is a lot of reading but it'd be a fantastic way to practice. Either way it's still very much playable for little kids. The mechanics are simple and the goals are very self-directed.

|
689 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

swap shops are informal, just put a zone where you drop stuff, and then people come by and take something and drop another in exchange

|
688 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

help pls how do u start a swap shop like people do online do i talk to tom nook or do i need a specific item

|
687 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

The difference with Mario and this is that Mario, while more directional, has very intuitive controls where you can figure it out by playing even without reading. AC on the other hand is pretty sandboxy so you need to read to learn all your options. I encourage getting it regardless cause it's good for kids!

|
686 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

i've heard stories of people stealing from swap shops so yeah i guess they can

|
685 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

this is so wholesome!!!!

|
684 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

can you change the player in the same island? say me and my girlfriend share an island can she play on it as the main character when im gone and vice versa

|
683 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

definitely. if he can do mario odyssey he can do animal crossing cause it doesnt even have a hard goal you can just do whatever you want

|
682 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

You can try complaining to Isabelle that they are wearing inappropriate clothes and she will make them change back.

|
681 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I think you might just have to send them some another clothes that you like better.

|
680 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I accidentally made one of the villagers change clothes and now they look bad. Is there a way to get them to put their original outfit back on?

|
679 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

I adore this game. I love the surprises like Wisp, Messages in a bottle, the Islanders running up to me and giving me ore. It's cute, fun, exciting! <3

|
678 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Sad to say, but I think there's no way to change it. You can try playing it docked, and use the stereo audio setup.

|
677 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Is there a way to turn down the volume for just the animal voices? I love the ambient and music sounds but the voices are a bit much. :(

|
676 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

Yeah. There's a lot of reading, but my sister is only 4 years old and likes to walk around catching bugs and hopping over rivers. I'm sure a 5 year old can handle more complex tasks.

|
675 Anonymous Anonymous almost 6 yearsReport

He could, but I advise you play as well as the first player. There are certain functions that only the Resident Representative (Player 1) can access.
