Just send a message and I'll hop in game

Thanks! You should be getting a friend invite from Neener. I'll let you two figure this out. Have fun!

Friend request accepted and the gate is open.

All I'm hearing from her end of the office is "Wow!" and apparently I have to turn around to check out your island.
FYI, if she says gibberish or moves weird it's because both kids are climbing over her trying to claim a turn with the 'walking game.'

My island has nothing on RJs. Hers is a wonderland.

Post her info on the shared Google doc and have her send me a friend request. I'm always willing to add Goodjer vetted friends.

Just checking in. I haven't update the OP in forever. Stock predictor and weather predictor links still good? Any other tools to add in there the last few months?

Who's still playing?

I play once in a while, but I finally dropped off a bit. This is the most I've played any of the games in the series, so I don't think that's an indictment of this game. I do miss there being more businesses and actual "city" stuff in the game, but I think I'm just a little burned out on it.

I still play near the beginning of the months to get all the new creatures. Once K.K. arrived and I finished off the fossil collection, the benefits from playing daily seem to wane.

I should probably be logging in daily to check for Redd. I'm woefully behind on my art.

Haven't played since September last year. I went from pretty much every day to just needing a break.

My kids still play it and tell me of all the new exciting things like Mario stuff etc. I might go back soon and hopefully don't have too many weeds!

I was pointed to this thread from the Switch thread. I've been playing this for about a week and a half now.

So far I found my biggest mistake was eating the apples that were sent to me in the mail at the start. I didn't realize I should be planting them to make more apples.

I've been to several random islands using the ticket that's redeemed in Miles, and keep hoping to find one with apple trees. So far no luck. I do have coconuts now on my island, and I got some cherries from an island and planted them back home. It took many days to see any new cherries though, in fact, today was the first day I got any new ones.

Today my island's Resident Services is shut down as it gets upgraded to an actual building. And my museum just got an art wing, although it only has one item so far.

If you want more fruit types, send me a friend request. My Switch code is in my profile. Then send me a message on Discord and I'll open up the gates. I should have all 6 types ready for picking.

Tscott, friend me up I’d be happy to help you get ahead if you want or just give you a place to pick some variety of fruit for planting.

Thanks, I haven't gotten around to getting nintendo online yet, but when I do I'll keep these offers in mind. If I visit a friends island do they need to be in game as well? Or is it like the random islands where you just visit and explore on your own?

Oh, and I just discovered that swimming is a thing in this game. I kept passing on the wetsuits because I thought it was just another clothing item.

Is Amazon Prime still offering the Nintendo Online free thing?

*Finger hovering above rage button* Prime free what now? *A quick Google later* That ended in September 2019. Stand down!

And you know what, for Nintendo it worked -- I've had it on auto-renew for a year and a half now and, for the most part, have completely forgotten about it. Definitely use it between Animal Crossing and Mario Kart sessions, but they got me

I'm playing somewhat regularly, and my kids play every day)) I've just added myself into that Google sheet, i hope it's how it's done or is there a person in charge?

I'll be happy to befriend goojers though time zones will make it tricky to actually visit. Dream codes are a great way of just looking at what people are up to.

btw mine is DA-5377-4559-7328

Yeah the spreadsheet is good but posting is probably good too. That way anyone still playing can just add you. Otherwise it's a lot of work for you to add 20 or 30 friends that might not be active lately.

We got New Horizons a while ago, but it has taken off in the past month. My oldest son at 7 loves it, but the underdog winner is clearly my wife, who is not a gamer, now plays it most evenings to relax. I’ll read back in this thread to see how the GWJ community is engaging with this great game.

Still playing most days, almost done with my art collection. Enjoying the Bunny Day stuff as it happened before I got my switch last year.

Still enjoying Animal Crossing after about a month (although Bunny Day is annoying me on this particular day). I just got my 10th villager to move in. I'm already forming a tier list in my head of who I'd like off the island, so I can maybe pick up some different villagers.

I'm pretty happy with the last 3 villagers I added, but I haven't had too much time to get to know them yet: Judy, Tia and Kabuki

I'm also enjoying having Goose and Apollo around as kind of a bird themed Odd Couple.

And Chops is there for me to hate. But I kind of enjoy hating him, so he probably won't be the first kicked off my island.

Oh and also, Issabelle is currently telling me I need more varieties of fruit on my island to improve my 2-star rating, so I'm thinking of taking some people up on their offer to visit their island so I can get some apples, pears and peaches.

Kabuki is awesome. Had Apollo back on DS or 3DS. Don't know the rest.

Bunny Day is infamous in Animal Crossing circles as last year it came a mere month into the pandemic and suddenly the game ground to a halt as you could only get eggs.

Bunny day was annoying to me because I had just watched a video on some good ways to build friendship with your villagers and the night before I had wrapped up several presents of a couple pieces of fruit each to give out, but the only dialogue I was able to do for the whole day was the offer to trade eggs. No options to give anyone anything. I finally had to drop off the presents on the floor of my house so they weren't clogging up my inventory.

Speaking of hate, I've got Big Top moved in some time ago after one of my bunnies left and I didn't find anyone I'd want while villager hunting.
He is my only lazy villager and either because of this or for some other unknown reason, the game doesn't let him go. I've tried all the tricky methods with time travel and even (shame, shame) abused him. Nope. Other villagers wanted to leave more than once in the meantime even those with who I have a great friendship. So he is my kind of pariah villager, neither I nor my kids speak to him.

i have all kinds of fruit and also some double DIYs so we'll be happy to help. The only challenge is time zones for me as I'm in Middle East, but it is not impossible. Let me know.

My switch code is 3059-7817-0012

Tscott, I also have an ever growing portion of my landscape serving as a DIY repository. You're welcome to take anything you can use as well as any fruit you might need. I'm MST if that time zone works better for you.

Guess who (HOO!) my two favorite characters are in the game...

How did I get Blathers out of the museum?...

Spoiler:

I made a wish on a star and it came true...

Spoiler:

...or a "wish" on Amazon, and it came next day shipping...

Hello everyone! Wondering if anyone has a decent buy rate for Turnips in their island. Anything above 104 bells would do me fine to at least break about even hahaha got murdered in the "stalk market" this week.

EDIT:

Don't have much to exchange, but you can pick me clean of Oranges, Apples, and Cherries, if you'd like.

Unfortunately my price is at 62 so I can't help out there.

But, if you're willing to wait in a queue for a little while, you can usually find a selling location at https://turnip.exchange/islands

I usually go with All Islands, No Fees, and leave a tip. The 500+ price islands usually have a lengthy queue unless you see them as they first get posted. But getting onto a ~300 bell island doesn't usually take too long. Just don't go wearing a swimsuit and be sure to exit through the airport.
