#i usually try to stay positive about everything i do in acnh since thats honestly also how i feel 90% of the time

decided to do an island-design challenge and i instantly messed up(kinda, only a little)🌝⛺️

🌼first big oopsie was def being too impatient! i did not spend enough time grinding for nookmiles and unlocking things from the huge cataloge on the original island! i didnt get cooking and its buggin me!! (one fruit at a time is so 1.0 lol), also didnt get the camera update and i really miss that too..

🌼another thing - its very hard to keep the villagers tents! you might need to keep your game on one of those very first days for the entire time you are decorating if this is your goal!? it was my goal at first but i instantly messed up and ofc the placement of my villager homes, that were meant to be for tents, is now where their houses are placed and i cant move them..

(Small side-note but i actually thought of a way that you can maybe cheat this system! maybe by making your terraforming/waterscaping character into the second character on the new island and just never playing the original rep, never upgrading the resident rep from a tent to a house and kinda putting the “story” on halt? you might be able to keep the tents and still progress and play daily?!? just a thought tho i would have to test it i guess)

🌼something i did spend a lot of time doing while my character was still on the first island was upgrade my house! this was not at all needed bc you can just do that on the new island with tom nook(the only reason to do it on the first island would be to fill your storage with things from that island, something i 100% could have done but didnt bother to so lol)

🌼i also spent my hard earned nook miles on the in-game pathing only to find out that you can just get that from the nookmiles shop on the new island(had no idea, and also dont really see how i could have known so im not mad about it) all the hair things are also available on the new island btw..

🌼I decided to keep all my custom codes from the original island bc i thought it would be too much work to get all the new ones and then change them all back once i moved the new character away, but honestly i should have done that🥲 you can get ables on the new island but i really dont want to, it doesnt go with the look u know.. i love the codes i have but i’ve now used them on two islands so im sad i cant get new ones👀

#i forgot to post this!! its been weeks but whatever..😬 ignore the typos pls💛 #im sorry if some of this doesnt make sense! #im 3+ years and 2000+ hours into this game okay im no longer normal about it #this is my complain for the challenge! im not mad or negative about any of it #i consider it part of the experince lol #but it can work as a little what not to do so im posting it for that! #i usually try to stay positive about everything i do in acnh since thats honestly also how i feel 90% of the time #but hey part of challenge is room for messing up and changing with the failures! #i would never recommend anyone to do a challenge in this game without being ready to mess up a little💛 #acnh #animal crossing #animal crossing new horizons #new horizons #acnh complain #acnh challenge #acnh text post #hawthorn island
