I posted the other day about getting my first ever blue rose. Color me surprised signing on just after posting to discover my first ever gold rose had spawned overnight too! I wasn’t even trying to grow one. Just a happy byproduct of trying to breed my blues! So, yay!
And my second blue came in the morning after. I’m so excited! 🥰🥹😁🥳
I put some medieval walls and castle walls on the cliff side where the beaches are… i am trying to figure out what to use for corners of the walls. Castle tower is too big, and I can’t used columns outside (so it seems). I can post a picture if needed.
Any suggestions? Thanks in the advice.
So cute!
Hi everyone. 👋🏼 I have Sasha in boxes on my island rn. Lightly gifted. Come pick him up and give him a good home 🥹💗
Towards the end of 2024, my partner, ( knowing how much WW had helped me during a very difficult time in my life … NL not so much. I hated it. I mean, no museum? What’s that about?? I do realise though, that I am the only person in the universe who feels this way, but I digress …), suggested that I started playing AC again, hoping it would help with my ongoing stress and anxiety issues. So I treated myself to a Switch Lite and … he was right … I loved it! The creativity is what I love most about the AC games, and it was coming up to Hallowe’en so I had lots of fun turning my island orange.
I planned to do something similar, ( but not orange), for Christmas but for whatever reason that didn’t happen and I somehow managed to miss Toy Day and (thankfully) Demon Bunny Day, but was really looking forward to Cherry Blossom Season. I had looked at loads of beautiful ideas, and in the run up to April, I did a lot of crafting, planting trees and moving stuff about. (Shout out to the friend who supplied me with a million pink petals and got Cyrus to make me about 100 pink party arches)
So, me being me, of course, the end of Cherry Blossom Season 2025 arrived and I still hadn’t finished. I had a Sakura Café, Cherry Blossom Walk, Cherry Blossom Falls, and all the buildings had lanterns and branches outside them. Then, it occurred to me one day, that there was always going to be, “one more thing to do”. And, to be honest, I was starting to get a bit fed up looking at it, (especially when the trees returned to their natural green state), and my island was so cluttered with pink stuff that it was getting hard to get around it. Somehow though, I couldn’t quite let go of my dream, which was to build Cherry Blossom Island and then make a Dream Address for it. It seemed such a waste of time when I thought about how much work had gone into it. But then I realised that the whole thing had started to feel a bit of a chore, so I left it pretty much as it was, but distracted myself by doing other things, such as breeding flowers. Then life intervened and our two precious cats both became ill, and both ended up passing away just after Christmas, within 10 days of each other. My partner and I were devastated, and still are, to be honest. I have long term health issues and I am very isolated in many ways, (as you can probably tell 🤣), and my cats were my company and my comfort. I had no interest in doing any of the stuff I do for fun … crafting, crochet and AC.
Until … a few weeks ago, when a friend, knowing how much I loved it, asked me if I was going to start playing again in time for Cherry Blossom Season. I actually hadn’t even thought about it, and had honestly wondered if I would ever play again. I hadn’t even updated my game in January. Much to my surprise, I actually thought I would like to get back into it, so I charged my Switch Lite and did the update thing.
I haven’t actually played yet, but it is imminent! And so to the point of this ridiculously long message. I know my island will be a big mess, but actually the thought of mindlessly clearing flowers and weeding quite appeals to me at the moment. But then I remembered about the ongoing issue, and still couldn’t decide whether to give up and bin the whole thing, or keep going and see it through to the end even though I’m a bit tired of it.
Then I remembered about slumber islands, and really like the idea of being able to make the whole island cherry blossom themed, with a lake, and cliffs and … well you get the idea.
I honestly can’t remember if I had actually started removing items in my pink island, but that won’t be a big deal, and there are still a lot of fun things I still have to do on my original island. I don’t have Harv’s Island sorted … and I’m ashamed to say I don’t even have Brewster! So there’s plenty off things left to do, and I ado have lots of ideas.
But! There’s still a little voice inside my head that’s saying, “But you put so much work into it … Just a few more weeks” etc etc
So what should I do? Persevere and hope that someday I’ll be satisfied with my Cherry Blossom Island? Or clear up all the pink stuff, concentrate on other fun stuff, and all the while start planning my pink slumber island?
PS I’m so sorry for how ridiculously long this post is … I really need to get a life lol 🫣
My ACNH slumber islands have made my heart and mind extra happy lately. I’ve been creating spaces where I can escape, unload stress, and thrive for a bit.
Have you tried it?
price doesn’t matter. anything is more than zero bells.
Over the last several months, I looked into Meteonook with increasing frustration. The Reddit consensus seemed to be that for islands with new seeds (created post-2.0 and ofc 3.0) it just no longer works.
I was inclined to believe this myself, after multiple failed attempts to find my weather seed across multiple months and various methods (double rainbows, rain/no-rain, meteor showers timed to the minutes or seconds, etc).
Well, thanks to a pointer from the ACNH discord and some internet heroes, I discovered to my delight that meteor showers do still work to find your seed on MeteoNook (!!!).
But!!! You have to do it in a very particular way.
I had (yesterday- 4/16) what was clearly a light meteor shower with infrequent stars. Following the advice on the GitHub issue linked above, and as per the stellar* suggestion from ThexXTURBOXx, I did the following:
As my luck would have it, that single seed predicted that I would experience another light meteor shower today. With bated breath, I set my alarm to the timing of the first meteor and -- et voila! The meteors showed up like clockwork at the minutes and seconds predicted.
Based on the guidance linked above from ThexXTURBOXx, you may be better off completely ignoring the seconds to search for the seed, using them only to confirm that you've gotten the correct seed. (I will add a little more info about this in a comment to avoid cluttering this post.)
As for me, I am over the moon to finally have my weather seed!
Please try it, and let me know in the comments whether it works for you!
*see what I did there?
On Sunday, KK came to my island to play. (Saturday was the bug-off, so he didn't visit on his usual day,) After I finished showing my appreciation, I realized I'd finished a Nook Mile task. Weird, right? It was for my 100th KK concert, and my final Nook Mile Milestone! FINISHED! 😯 🎉😊
I don’t have anyone else to share this with but I’m really happy about it and want to share with others who get my excitement. I meant to post this the day of but life, etc, etc…
April 15, I updated the game and received Nintendo’s letter celebrating their 25th year anniversary the next day (How has it been 25 years already?) and the leaf.
I’ve been playing since I was a little girl on GameCube, so this was already oddly emotional for me, realizing that Animal Crossing has been a part of me for most of my life. It was one of the first games I ever played and is still a part of my daily life.
But that’s not the part I’m truly excited about.
Earlier in the day I celebrated an achievement that has been a primary goal in every AC game I’ve played but had yet to succeed in. The fact that I later found out it was the anniversary feels so unbelievably serendipitous and special.
After (apparently) 25 years of trying and failing, I have officially grown my first ever Blue Rose. They’re my favorite flower and, finally, I have one of my own. I seriously cried when I found it and now, every time I see it, it makes me smile. That most radiant blue that practically *shines* glowing in the distance. It will take time but, if I have my way, one day my island will be painted in that blue.
Happy anniversary (a little late), everyone. If you took the time to read my ramblings—thank you.
I just thought this would be an interesting idea. Tell me what y'all think about it :]
I have this strip of land between two second levels and I’d what to do about it. This is what I currently have but I don’t like how small the space for the picnic area is. Idk if I want to open up the back side to go somewhere bc the strip is so long. I wanted there to be an incline to go up but because it’s a 3 space strip, the incline would be off center and thats gonna bother me. I just don’t know what to do here and is looking for inspo or suggestions.
I need help guys. I accidentally sent my hornsby away. I been trying to get rid of Leopold but it seem everyone but him is trying to leave. I haven't been on in a while bc I tryd for a week giving him trash to make him leave and instead hornsby got picked. well now another villager got picked but this time I'm coming for advice. I really don't care about any of the others but if anyone knows how I can get Leopold kicked would be better ? I don't have the amiibo cards so I couldn't do that way yet.
I don’t remember giving him these funny glasses but if I did, I deeply regret it. My adorable little guy looks demonic in those! Sadly, I wasn’t carrying any glasses to gift him to make him change. Are there any items your villagers wear that are disturbing?
