Posted March 20, 2020 Is there a set number of days at the beginning that doesn't run on the real-time clock? Like a tutorial type thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 20, 2020 I’ve now just got a big pile of fish and bug tanks outside my house while I wait for Blathers to arrive tomorrow. I’ve already picked all my peaches so when they grow back I’ll open up my island so anyone who wants to come get them to plant on their own islands can do. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like a tutorial type thing There is something like this at the start but it's very short. Besides, you can't do much until you activate the real world clock. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Animal Crossing isn't meant to be played through all at once. A little bit every day. I've already decided I'm done for the day. Unless someone here opens their Island for social shenanigans, I probably won't boot it up until tomorrow. Edited March 20, 2020 by Glen-i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 20, 2020 Never time travelled in New Leaf, definitely not planning on it now. Surely it ruins the whole experience 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not everything needs to be done at once. And anyway, you can only donate an extra 15 things tomorrow either way before the museum starts getting upgraded and you can't donate until it's finished, so don't worry too much. Take it slooooooww.

Posted March 20, 2020 I’ve never done the time travelling in Animal Crossing games. I appreciate having something to do each day and never wanted to mess around with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 20, 2020 I've just finished paying off Nook for my first house (98,000 bells). Doing this also netted me a nice amount of Nook Miles as well. The amount of presents I've seen flying by me on my island is heartbreaking. I've still not got anything to bring them down with and all I can do is watch them float on by.

Posted March 20, 2020 Pro tip: craft numerous leaf umbrellas from weeds and sell each one for double the price the 15 weeds give you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 20, 2020 I'm an idiot. I didn't realise that Timmy had another section to his shop that sells the slingshot as well as other things. I was wondering why the game kept giving me Nook Mile missions for planting flowers. Here's me thinking I hadn't unlocked them yet. Bah! All those presents wasted.....

Posted March 20, 2020 So how many times did you guys reset the game to get the right island configuration then. I guess with terraforming it isn't as big a deal maybe. I'm not one to show off and I don't normally sell consoles but I sold my PS4 + my old launch day Switch to get this beauty. Won't be able to play till later though, once I get the system transfer sorted. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 20, 2020 Seems like I'm done for today. Airport is still closed and the museum will be ready tomorrow. Unlocked quite a few things, though I can see now why my mom spent so many hours with New Leaf. Sadly her copy still hasn't arrived and won't until tomorrow How will the online aspect of the game work? Would love a quick rundown so I can give it a go tomorrow and let my mom know how we can travel to each other's islands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 20, 2020 I got cherries. I'm also done for the day. Paid off the 5000 miles for the tent and upgrading to a house tomorrow. Also picked out a spot for Blathers and the museum So I can start donating more stuff tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
