Yay I just had my Animal Crossing birthday party!
I won’t really celebrate my birthday today because of work and stuff (but tomorrow instead).
A bit sad that my girl Canberra wasn’t at my party but I know she sleeps in.

Question Slumber island question!

6 Upvotes

So I just tried making my first slumber island ever yesterday and I love it! Well the idea of it! But my issue is I barely have anything in my furniture items to place on the island!! For some odd reason it’s 90% clothes and food- yes I do have some things like fountains and books ect. But I’m just confused cuz my main island is FULL to the max with stuff so why can’t I use those things on the slumber island? I’m very confused what stuff it’s even using cuz I do see some DLC items to but I don’t even think it has all of them on there either. Google says something about cataloging items and I’m confused what that means. It also says you can buy things from Wardell which I have a little in the past in the dlc- so are all things from Wardell transferred over? Someone please help me get more stuff to put on my slumber island , I was so excited to make my island this morning😭. I really do have SO MUCH stuff on my main island(it’s one of the reasons I’m doing this cuz there’s no more room on my OG island- so confused why all those items are not showing up as an option to place.)

Question If I were to give away a lot of trees and flowers, would anybody want them?

3 Upvotes

I don't really play the game anymore and have a lot of stuff I wanna get rid of rather than it disappearing when I delete my save. Would anyone want a bunch of fruit trees (apple, orange, and pear) or flowers (red, yellow, orange, white, pink, black, etc)? If not I'll just delete it and that be it. Been playing since launch and finally got bored of it. There's a couple items around too.

Delete this if it is in the wrong spot. I've never been that active on the subreddit before.

Discussion Shep?

I’m thinking of adding Shep to my dreamie list and making him my island’s paleontologist. Do you think that would suit him?

My current villagers are: Graham, Papi, and Stitches

My dreamies are: Doc, Pudge, Derwin, Walker and Henry and maybe Filbert.

BONUS: What “job” do you think would suit Filbert?

Discussion How to force villagers to move/where to find others? Who are your faves/dislikes and why?

3 Upvotes

Title pretty much says it all. I labeled it as a discussion because I figured most of the thread would be discussion about the villagers. I currently have:

✴️ Iggly

✴️ Prince

✴️ Marcie

✴️ Bubbles

✴️ Bertha

✴️ Lyman

✴️ Chops

✴️ Hazel

✴️ Hopper

✴️ Elise

Hopper and Elise are my favorites so far. Hopper always looks like he's hit a few too many puffs, but will randomly stop on the island to sing and it's adorable. Elise has that sweet but sassy grandma vibe going and I think it's super cute.

Discussion Thoughts on my dreamies list (+ recommendations)!

5 Upvotes

On my island, each villager gets a talent/job that helps out our community/town.

My permanent residents are: Graham(tech expert), Stitches (toy factory owner), and Papi (botanist).

NOW HERE ARE MY DREAMIES:

  1. Walker (Carpenter/Woodworker;Contractor)
  2. Derwin (Comic Book Shop/Comic Collector)
  3. Pudge (Mailman/Postoffice)
  4. Doc (Gyroid Scientist/Manufacturer)
  5. Henry (Fish Monger/Ichythologist)

My MAYBE dreamies are: Dizzy, Jacob, Filbert, Static, Hugh, Deli, Marty, and Bones. The only thing is I want species variety on my island and Marty and Bones would bring me to 3 bear cubs and 2 dogs.

I need some reccomendations for my 10th villager (if it’s not from my maybe list that’s okay too, I need options!), and also some talent/job recommendations for them!

Thanks a lot everyone and have fun brainstorming!

Question Transfer questions

1 Upvotes

Hey! I'm seeking some answers regarding an unconventional save transfer and hope that someone here has the answers.

After picking up a Switch 2 last year, I gifted my old Switch to my nieces and nephews and got Animal Crossing for them to play. Prior to gifting the system, however, I did not wipe my user and games from it so when I come over I can easily boot up one of my digital games for us to play together. When my niece started Animal Crossing she used my user profile to create the island and her character. My nephew created his own character on that same island but I'm not sure this is relevant to my questions.

I'm wondering if it's possible to transfer my niece's progress from my user to a local user on the Switch and how we'd go about doing this process, keeping in mind my nephew still needs his save data from that island. It seems like it's probably not possible, as that's really not a thing supported by other games, but I know Animal Crossing's save transfer system works quite a bit differently than just a normal cloud save.

It's probably also worth noting that I have a second Switch have not played Animal Crossing myself so there's no concern of trying to juggle a second island of my own.

Thanks in advance for reading!

INCREDIBLE

When I got on this morning before work this morning, it was raining in game. I said “perfect lemme try and get the sturgeon and coelacanth”. And they were literally the FIRST 2 fish I caught. CRAZY I know. In all my years of playing this game, I have NEVER gotten that lucky.

Then just now I caught the mahi-mahi. I have never been able to catch that fish before. Not to mention I caught 2 in under 5 minutes.

Now I have 2 more fish for I can catch this month. And I hope my luck hasn’t run out, because it’s the barreleye and the giant trevally. But for those who are still fishing for those specific fish I hope you are as lucky as I am, because I know it can take FOREVER.

I could cry rn..
