Yay my gold trophy came! Fuck you CJ I only have to do this three minute bullshit two more times ever (unless Nintendo adds more fish items in updates, the bastards...)

Why didn’t anyone tell me when I bought 100 items I’d get the nook shopping app

Yeti · « **Reply #3122 on:** July 13, 2020, 10:11:56 AM »

I never really use the app, I just use the kiosk to make sure I get my daily Nook miles. Even though I have 90,000 Nook Miles and nothing really to spend them on

Damn I'm not sending my Switch in for SHIT until Dream Suite / Cloud Backup gets here.

Thinking now it was the right choice to move ACNH from SD to internal storage, although actually... I wonder what the failure rate for the internal memory is vs. the SD card reader. $:-\$

Ugh thinking about this happening to anyone is a giant fucking bummer. All the stuff we traded.

I still have all our times together in photo/video form, but goddamn... goddamn...

Part of me is slightly holding out hope that they can still somehow get your data from their servers... Changing your passport pic updates it everywhere even without you traveling or opening your gate... But it's an extreme long shot...

I'm at 50k and I don't even bother some days. Only reason to go to the kiosk is to find the KK songs I don't have and Isabelle continually telling me I have too much shit laying around on my island to get 5 stars

The only reason I enter Town Hall anymore is to dump bells into the ABD (where's *that* app?)

I'm at like 120k+ miles lmao, I'm thinking a few months down the road they gotta give us something extra to do with them. (Maybe spend miles to get a particular kind of weather on a certain day? Shit like that.)

Animal Crossing’s next summer update adds dreaming and cloud saves

Quote

The promised second summer update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons is coming very soon, and it brings with it some exciting changes. According to Nintendo, the two big gameplay additions are the ability to dream and new fireworks shows. Meanwhile, for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, a cloud backup system is also coming so you won’t lose your island.

For dreaming, Nintendo says players will be able to take a nap in any bed in their house. “While dozing off, you may find yourself in a strange realm where you’ll be greeted by Luna,” the company explains. “Luna offers visits to other islands as a dream, and with her help, you can share your island as a dream with others too. She will grant those who share their island a ‘Dream Address’ which players can exchange and use to visit each other’s island in a dream. In dreams, nothing is permanent because nothing you do is saved, so explore to your heart’s content.”

The fireworks shows will be a regular occurrence, meanwhile, taking place every Sunday evening in August at 7PM local time. Players will be able to buy raffle tickets during these events to earn prizes.

Perhaps the biggest part of the update, though, is the long-requested option for players to back up their islands via cloud saves. Here’s how Nintendo describes the feature:

Nintendo Switch Online members can enable the new island backup service, which automatically uploads island and user save data to the internet at certain times. If your Nintendo Switch system is lost or damaged, you may be able to recover your island paradise as long as you’ve enabled island backup. In the event of loss or damage, contact Nintendo Consumer Support about restoring the island and user save data on your new or repaired Nintendo Switch system. After your island data and individual player data is restored, you can get back to building your island community.

The company also says that “a function specific to Animal Crossing: New Horizons to move users and save data to another system is planned for later this year. Details will be announced in the future.”

This will be the second major summer update for the game, following the recent addition of swimming. The update will be available starting on July 30th, and the company also teased a fall update for the future.

Would be great if they add this kind of back-up feature to Splatoon 2, too.

Tasty · « **Reply #3139 on:** July 28, 2020, 12:20:56 PM »

It's taking the best parts of NL and reincorporating them into NH but making it less tedious AND way prettier. 😍

Like instead of going to a specific "shop" to do Dream Suite stuff you just use your own bed (and possibly *any* bed on your island??)

Automatic cloud backups for NSO subscribers is a dream come true too. 😍

Finally, it's been like 14 months since they first were like "Yeah this won't support cloud backup..." at E3 2019 to "Maybe we'll do it" in November last year, to "it's coming" earlier this year, to "IT'S HERE!" Been a long road and I'm so happy we have cloud backups now. 😍 😍 😍

Tasty · « **Reply #3140 on:** July 28, 2020, 12:25:10 PM »

Tasty · « **Reply #3141 on:** July 28, 2020, 03:07:30 PM »

Free animated fireworks wallpaper with the update! Like the snorkel in the last one.

Also they're adding some new seasonal items like Chinese robes (also pictured.)

Camofrog happened to send me a fake of this, which is great since I can display it for all to see. 👀

When I get bored with the front I'll turn it around. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

He was out sleepwalking!

Had to relax at the spa of course

Broke into his house too. That's a lot of toilets!

LOL, what's your beef with CJ?

Yeti · « **Reply #3159 on:** July 30, 2020, 10:21:45 PM »

Also visited pilonv1's island:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

He was awake and walking around

It was cool seeing winter. I really like his pathways were set up to make his town square look bigger.

His house is amazing, towering over the island.

Broke in to check out his bathroom too. Very fancy! But again so many toilets haha.

Thanks for reminding me that I think I have one more toilet to put in that room.

Will upload a new dream later with my ice bar

Tasty · « **Reply #3162 on:** July 31, 2020, 09:16:12 PM »

Will check it out! Been going through a lot of personal/family stuff so haven't been able to do anything except daily chores lately.

Thanks for thinking of me.

Also @Yeti, CJ pissed me off when he just gave me silver even after wasting four hours in his stupid tournament.

So I bought this but have no idea what I'm doing. Seemed I did all I could for day 1, museum guy on the way and nook is going to get me a house.

This going in to debt shit is too much like real life tho

Yeti · « **Reply #3164 on:** August 02, 2020, 04:50:10 PM »

Early game it’s just about familiarizing yourself with the systems. Work on your nook mile goals, hit all the rocks, plant the money tree, get your recipes, check in with the daily visitor, etc. while you’re going about your island catch bugs and fish along the way. Early goals I would say get your house expanded a bit and fill out your museum with any new critters you find. But there is no rush, your loan has no interest and can be paid back whenever you feel like it. It can take a while but you will eventually build up a routine and build up your crafting recipes, and then you can start planning and developing your island

Cool cool. I like catching bugs so far, have a big collection despite the museum still being under construction.

This is a super nice change of pace from the other stuff I've been playing lately.

Let's Cyber · « **Reply #3167 on:** August 03, 2020, 08:00:40 PM »

Is it worth burning Nook miles for tickets to the random islands? 2000 is kind of a lot for day 3 but I need resources.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3168 on:** August 03, 2020, 09:14:55 PM »

Depends what resources you need. People here can probably send you what you need if you couldn't be bothered.

Let's Cyber · « **Reply #3169 on:** August 03, 2020, 10:25:10 PM »

I'll have it by tomorrow, I was just 2 iron nuggets away from getting the shop.

Do I need in-game passport codes to visit friends' islands? I have people on my friends list with the game but can't visit them.

Sorry for the n00b questions.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3170 on:** August 03, 2020, 11:41:37 PM »

You need to open your island/they open theirs to visit either by opening to everyone or sending you a code. Then you can become in game friends.

They just added a feature though where you can visit someone elses island in a dream if they're not around though.

Yeti · « **Reply #3171 on:** August 04, 2020, 09:21:13 AM »

You actually have to visit their islands if you want to be able to send mail to each other/interact though, dreaming is just for looking around. I was in Pilonv’s dream and wanted his lucky gold cat recipe, but it said you can’t learn recipes in dreams. (Which is bullshit because of how often my villagers say the idea for their recipes came in a dream

)

If you need some resources let me know and I can stop by later today if you want.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #3172 on:** August 05, 2020, 10:09:23 PM »

I'll open up my island if you want that recipe, or if you've already visited I'll send it

Let's Cyber · « **Reply #3173 on:** August 06, 2020, 12:14:20 PM »

I did figure out how to visit my buddy, got some new fruit. The different possibilities for island customization, room styles/layouts, etc is pretty varied. Also black and gold roses.

The power of Google Photos... in the palm of my hands...

(Lol literally three days to upload my Switch's 11 GB media payload... -_-)

Protip: the Switch saves media at 720p max (photos and videos), which both fall under Google Photos' free limits, which means you can open a Google account and backup your Switch media at "full res" for free (without hitting the default 15 GB storage limit.)

Tasty · « **Reply #3177 on:** November 08, 2020, 12:31:24 PM »

Also, sad to see this thread slow down a bit. The other communities I'm apart of which have AC threads/channels have stayed fairly active. The updates are really doing a great job keeping things fresh every month or so. I'm extremely excited for Toy Day next month.

Halloween was a lot of fun! I played every day so I had like 30 candies going in.

Ended up crafting 1 of every color of every Spooky item that night, placing them all around town, then uploading my Halloween-night island to Dream Suite. Check it out! DA-8053-6297-4495

Also after 230+ days my Museum is coming together. I only have 2 bugs left to catch, 1 fish (pond smelt!!), 5 sea creatures, and... 29 pieces of art. -_- Last night I did get my final KK Slider song though (95 out of 95.)

Anyone else going for the seasonal recipes? I've been slacking on the acorn/pine cone stuff so last night I spent two hours shaking trees for materials lol.

Acorn/Pine Cone DIY recipes still needed:

- Tree's Bounty Arch (not spawning until Nov 16th)
- Tree's Bounty Big Tree (not spawning until Nov 16th)
- Tree's Bounty Mobile
- ~~Yellow-Leaf Pile~~

Mushroom DIY recipes still needed:

- Forest Flooring
- Forest Wall
- Mush Lamp
- Mush Log
- Mush Low Stool
- Mush Table
- Mush Umbrella
- Mush Wall
- ~~Dildo~~ Mushroom Wand
