It seems that the game doesn't attempt to significantly discourage time travel. For example, Penalties like flowers wilting and villagers moving away seem to be gone in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
However, there will still be some changes to your game if you time travel.
Don't set the in-game clock back if you have turnips in your inventory. They will rot automatically. Keep this in mind when time traveling!
Cockroaches will appear if you don't play for more than a month or if you skip ahead in time with Time Travel.
The more time passes, the more Cockroaches will spawn, so check in often to avoid your house being taken over by them!
How to Get Ride of Cockroaches
The number of flowers in your island will increase as you time travel to the future. The only way to relocate your flowers is by using a shovel.
Prevent overgrowth by building fences around your flowers!
List of Flowers, Shrubs, and Bushes
Be careful when time traveling as weeds increase over time. This can greatly affect your Island Star Rating.
If you time travel forward for over a month, residents will notice your absence and will react to it. They will say things like "Where have you been?"
As of version 1.6.0, new events are time locked, meaning you can't time travel to access the events before the specified event date.
Once officially released, you can time travel to them at any time, even after the event has ended.
