How many of you are just getting started with New Horizons? What other topics would you like to see me cover?

Another tip: if you get a wet suit from Timmy on your first day, you can technically “cross” rivers by swimming in the sea to the other side instead of having to wait for the vaulting pole

My favorite pro tip that I did for a while... It’s true that the amount of bells you plant will usually triple when you grow a money tree, but there are actually percentages that allow you to grow more than $30K.
If you plant $30K, you have a higher percent chance of reproducing $30K (3 bags of $10K), but there is a smaller percent chance of still producing triple the original amount (3 bags of $30K). This means that there is a (approximately 30%) chance you can grow a money tree with $90K after planting $30K! I like this method because you never will lose money by planting $30K (since the minimum return will always be $30K), but you have a pretty good chance of getting lots of trees with $90K if you do this every day! :)

just got animal crossing yesterday with no ideas how to play lol thank god i came across your video!

[JodieC]

Started 1 week ago. So far diving for sea creatures is my favorite part. Sure that will change as I unlock new features

[brystalmelzer]

Finally got my switch today and this video is super helpful! 😁 let the journey begin

You cannot change the location of resident services. If the river is dividing your island and you don't have the vaulting pole yet. Get a wet suit from Tommy or Nooks kiosk and swim to the other beaches when you swim in the ocean. You can get more shells and bottles on the other beaches, yes you won't have the ladder/inclines to get to the second or third level. But this can let you work with the other trees and rocks you have and more area to work with until then.

I’m new to this game cuz i really have forgotten absolutely everything about it, but that’s why I’m relearning about this game now.

But thank you for the starters guide for new fresh newbies.

[lovehim]

Thinking about getting the new one, I’ve never played ever- can’t decide- I’ve heard it’s a great slow paced very cozy game!

[justindunlap]

my girlfriend wanted this game, i ended up grinding it 🤣 i love it i am always searching for animals to fill up my museum

[saiykuza]

I just got ACNH for Christmas yesterday and this proved to be very helpful! Thanks!

[theTrend]

I just started a couple of weeks ago, and this was super helpful. I didn't know how to increase my carrying capacity. Thanks😄

[AdamScottH]

I just started playing ACNH on May 6/21 so I’m VERY new to the game! These tips are very helpful. Thank you!

[MsJal]

I just got this game on Saturday. Your videos have helped me so much already. 💓

[teasonm]

3:58 Actually its possible to get balloons sometimes by climbing up a ledge and hitting it with a net before it rises above you.

[GirlMomma]

I'm new and so far this is the best guide I've found! Done searching and I'm going to subscribe, thanks so much! 💕

[RevoMae]

Just bought animal crossing yesterday, so far my favorite thing is catching bugs!!! I love entemology so I would like to eventually have a collection of bugs in my house 😁

[piggypower]

Great Vid!! I wish i could've seen this when i first started :) haha

[judethaddeus]

I just got my game on 6/3/2021.. I have not played since the game was on DS, around 2008 or so… I am already hooked! This is so amazing and fun, very relaxing and gets your creativity going.. I just paid off my house last night, got the 1* three plots of land for neighbours and last night, Apple moved in???
My resident critters are Fuchsia and Louie… not too fascinated with Louie already

[stannosaurus]

I’m getting Animal Crossing on Easter and I’m grateful for the video. Super excited! I really want to see my starting villagers and fruit.
