Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Downloaded the update and bought the wetsuit from nook. Now to wait for tomorrows mail.

Saw some tweets that it was out. Maybe we'll play this weekend after all.

Celeste is on my island. Dodo code - 8PD8K. I think I found my correct weather seed so I should have stars in a few minutes. And I still have the paintings from earlier.

Forlorn, are you closed now?

But I heard a chime when I left the airport, and I seem to have some shooting stars myself. So I opened up, 77711. No idea if it'll turn into a proper meteor shower.

Should still be open. The shooting stars times have been accurate tonight so think I finally found my seed. The thing that was throwing me off before was I had a shower listed on the wrong day.

According to that seed, I've had two heavy showers in April so far but I never got an announcement from Isebelle.

Edit: Closed. Light shower tonight but I guess I have a heavy shower to look forward to on Monday.

Got my 5 star rating today. Hurray!

Edit: after about a week of data tracking, my seed is narrowed to 13 options. Unless I made a mistake.

Swimming is a lot of fun. I'm definitely glad for this new addition and all the new things to find while underwater.

I found entering in the dates/times I had in screenshots of Celeste or shooting stars helped a lot. And switching weather to unsure rain/snow or unsure no rain/snow. But it is tricky to figure out.

Among all the spare DIYs around, does anyone have one for the Tall Lantern? I have one and I want to make a few more. Thanks

I may have narrowed to my seed. Time will tell if it’s right. But I might have two double rainbows next weekend.

No idea about Celeste, but heavy meteor shower going on

new dodo - M7R3N

Thanks RedJen. Glad you had some spare watering cans as mine broke pretty early in watering your flowers.

Thanks RedJen wished on about ~25-30. Should get a nice group of fragments tomorrow.

Which one is the "main" island? I was unsure what needed to be watered.

Main Island is the one you landed on. I wondered if that would confuse people.

Thanks everybody who helped water flowers, I had lots of good results this morning, including a golden rosebud on my 4 star Island this morning.

Congrats!

Looks like I didn’t get my weather seed right m. Got some mistakes somewhere in my data. Back to the drawing board

Yeah I ended up with a spreadsheet to track so I didn't have to keep going back to screenshots.

And for meteors I didn't put any times because I didn't have the seconds measured. The one time I did try to put them by the minute during a shower my seed got all messed up. The seed page talks about putting your sd card in a computer and getting the screenshot timestamp, but I didn't go that far.

I think in the end I had 3 meteor shower dates, 4 Celeste only dates, and 2 thunderstorm hours, which locks in a whole day. And those were the only things I was confident in enough to use for seeds from my screenshots and videos.

My first rainbow that I’ve seen today! That should help my seed calculations, hopefully

Redd is in town. He has an authentic glowing painting, even though I have another authentic glowing painting in the museum already(?), plus fakes of the Mona Lisa (which I bought), Michelangelo's David, and Arcimboldo's Summer.

Now GF287 because I logged out without thinking.

RPG night is starting in a few minutes so I won't be around but I'll leave the Switch on.

I still feel like I need to take a shower after every time I talk to Redd.

I think I forgot to mention it because it was late at night when it happened, just as I was about to go to sleep, but I took some fossils to Blathers and he found one he didn't have after WEEKS, and THEN he told me that the fossil part of the museum is now complete! YAY!

ALSO, I FINALLY after all this time caught a scorpion! It's only the third one I've seen in-game, and the first two ran into the water before I could even think of catching them.

Yeah still only saw 1 or 2 scorpions. Used to see tarantulas every few days. Spawn rates definitely lower since that one patch.

Gratz on the museum. I had to trade a few here to finish but it's nice to have it done.

I believe I finally found my seed. I got down to only one valid option, after starting over numerous times. So far today has been right, but it’s mainly clear/sunny every hour. It shows a light meteor shower tomorrow so I should be able to tell for sure.

I never got any Cancer fragments, but I got the recipe. Does anyone have two extra? I think I have extra Taurus fragments to trade.

Thanks, Agathos. I bought the fake Gallant statue.

Today, I got my first announcement from Isebelle about shooting stars even though the app said I already had two heavy showers in April already. Anyways, I should be getting a ton of shooting stars in just a few minutes so I'm opening up my gates. Dodo code - 2956V. Feel free to take any of the diys or get the barbell diy from Kody.

Edit: Closed now. Got a lot of shooting stars and Celeste even showed up!

After three weeks of data gathering (and basically removing any day without rain since I couldn't tell between clear/sunny/cloudy), I think I finally have my weather seed locked in. I am supposed to have a rainbow tomorrow which should tell me if I am right or not. If this is the right seed, I got incredibly unlucky. I had one heavy shower in March (probably before the game came out) and one in April (on the 5th, which was before Isabelle showed up, or at least at a time when there were plenty of other announcements). I do not have another heavy shower until August 14th, which would explain why Isabelle never once mentioned a meteor shower in three months.

Redd is visiting my island today. Has a real rock head statue (which I bought), a real dynamic painting (sold!), a real scary painting and a fake informative statue. I've opened the gates, code is: 5 4 K Q K
I'll try to keep it open for the next hour or two.

My daughter's decided she's not actually tired anymore, so I'll be AFK for a bit, but still open.

Edit: all closed now, time for sleep!

Meteor shower tonight (Isabelle & villagers)

Buying Turnips at 596 until 10 pm Eastern

Trenzalore is open to friends now, I'll dodo code later tonight.

Thank you! Watered your flowers and left a tip.

Got my first Gigas Giant Clam today!
I was driving it towards a corner when it bounced off the fence directly into me.

Also, I really hope they have plans to introduce more swimming options, because my A button and A thumb are feeling the burn.

Wishlist:

Swim fins
Underwater/overwater powered sea scooter
Raft
Canoe
Boat
Sailboat(!) <-that would be amazing
Fence cutter for uncharted exploration...

Gates open to friends for Redd. Currently selling a fake academic and jolly painting and a real sinking painting (I got the other). Will probably drop off at some point to try and sell turnips at RedJen's but should be around for a few hours otherwise.

For others: I grabbed the real Sinking Painting.

Thanks, stupidhaiku

Thanks RedJen for having me. I think I watered all the right flowers...
Gates back open for fake academic and jolly paintings if there's interest.
Edit: closed now!
