The only bad thing that happens after you come back from a hiatus is that your house will be filled with roaches 🤢

I want to add 1 thing- don't be afraid to use a guide (like Nookepedia) if you're struggling with breeding flowers, figuring out if art is fake, or just any kind of help with the game. Especially if things get tedious. Oh, one other tip, TVs can show you the weather of the next day at certain time intervals (I can't remember, but it's always after 12 pm).

I stash away my big bell critters in storage. When CJ and Flick come, cash in! Premium bells really add up! Didn't do this until the museum exhibits were full from donations.

I did enjoy taking my time. The relaxed pace of wandering my tropical island was such a joy, and still is. The only place I hurried was in getting Celestial DIYs. In the games heyday I would check message boards for anyone hosting a Celste Meet and Greet. Basically, they dig holes around Celeste to keep her penned in so all the guests can get DIY cards from her. And even in that I was mainly after the wand recipes. The idea of having all the wand knowledge was appealing because of my love for Harry Potter lore. And it took about three years in total, but I think I'm very content with what my island is like now. Not too many alterations from its start, but enough to make it my own. So, the game, at least to me, should be a gaming equivalent of wrapping up in a soft blanket on a cold day and just feeling content.
I drive a semi for a living and having this little slice of cozy to enjoy wherever I end up is such a good feeling. And I'll admit I play it as much in my head as on the screen. Imagining all the villagers hanging out, playing games, drinking coffee, or just having fun. Every year I look up guides for Turkey Day to give my residents a perfect meal. The thought of them all sitting around a big table, laughing and eating, brings me so much joy.

Also, especially the Able Sister's, sometimes you get huge lore drops if you talk to specific characters!

One of the things I make sure to do is to check any extra fossils before I sell them. If I'm not familiar with the fossil, I'll place it on the ground, just to make sure it isn't something I'd like to display as part of my outdoor museum area.

Yess, I closed without saving when I actually didn’t want the character I invited today. Awww wow! I didn’t know you could get those patterns!

I’ve reset 2 times the first time I reset because I got bored and ended up losing my favorite villager but the second time was because I took a few months off and really didn’t want to deal with the harassment of literally everyone I ended up spending 3-4 days (I was pretty busy) trying to get an island with apples and a blue airport, it took forever but to my surprise I got my favorite villager as a starter so I am probably never resetting again because I can’t loose him 😭

Haven't done much terraforming. Completed the museum. Maybe halfway thru HHP. Still fish and such. Just kind of live

The villagers used to guilt trip you for staying away for too long though. Basically like, "Why did you leave us? I thought you hated me. I thought you were avoiding me. I thought it was all my fault. I was so lonely. Never do that to me again." That was sometimes the thing that kept me away for even longer because I didn't want to deal with the guilt trip for having a life outside of the game. They seemed to have changed that - or the dialogue simply changes when you're away for even longer. Because now after my longest hiatus ever they were more like, "Where have you been? Were you out on an adventure? Good to have you back."

Can we talk about how some people just ignore decorating their houses and still upload their islands? I think it's really disappointing when visiting dreams.

[OllieStar]

Thank you. I needed this. My switch comes in tomorrow 😌🙏

[SusanPonce]

I love ur island! I tried making something similar on my island but its not quite right yet.

[toykeyper]

I reset my island once, and I have no regrets. I enjoyed playing through a second time and I can visit the old one in a dream. I can't say if I would ever reset again, only because of the hassle of getting all the DIYs.

[vstotts]

Bob's gang! I flattened my forever island when I got bored with it. Now it's like a clean slate😊

[mamacat]

My downfall has been when I'm half awake in the morning I've dug and accidentally covered the money spot before I've buried bells. Reset before it autosaves! Bob's Gang!

[bittgrundy]

My huge problem is I hoard everything I’ll have up in the corner over here all the Pears I’ve collected so far, and that corner is all the coconuts I’ve gotten On one side of the beach all the shells I’ve gotten do I have a problem. Yes, do I care? No, it’s just the way. I’ve always played the game.

[MessHazel]

Bob’s gang. I love playing the game and if I get bored with it I just renovate. Hopemont forever!

[artybe]

I am definitely not rushing the game. I started playing in February 2024 for the first time. By now, I only have a 2-star rating, and my first recipe, which I got just yesterday, is a spooky cookies, out of balloons. I play the game every day.

[kairinase]

I wish the game has a sickle, mower (functioning ones), or scythe... The grasses I can stand, but the flowers are too much!
