My Forever Island is now exactly how I want it after 1000’s of hours of game play and rethinking and redoing many things. It is my “happy place” and I’m sure to log on at least a couple times a week. It’s like being in my Hometown. I even decorate the interiors of my villagers’ homes based on different seasons and holidays thanks to completing HHP. I do have a 2nd Switch so I can design different islands -LOVE starting a new island-but I could never delete my Forever Island. I understand and appreciate what you are wanting to do! Enjoy your content.
So excited to watch this series, I love having long play videos in the background while I’m playing. Your build videos are amazing but I can’t play while they’re on because I need to see how you’re building everything 😂 Can’t wait for more, thank you Melissa, enjoy!
My questions are, do you think ACNH gets too much hate from the fans, especially the old ones? I admit that those used to new leaf will be less than thrilled with the "streamlining" of all the different things into one, like with the post office just becoming part of the airport, but I feel like we are not truly appreciating the wonders of new horizons, like imagine going back to your villagers not asking you before they leave or not having terraforming?
I have only played ACNH for the last year and I love it. I have not played any other versions of animal crossing, though. I see so much hate for ACNH all the time, and I ignore it because I really enjoy the game and just play it at my own pace. I don't understand all the hate around it 😢
I've been around since wild world, and while there are definitely things about nh that could be fixed, I think it's the best animal crossing yet. It for sure gets too much hate. The villagers do need more interaction and variety like in the old games, but that's my biggest complaint. I think everything else people complain about (crafting, tool breaking, etc) comes from fans not understanding that this was Nintendo's FIRST attempt at a game like this. Like sure there are some quality of life things that get annoying, but it's not a huge deal imo. Every choice they made had a reason (monthly updates to prevent spoilers, crafting to give you more to do besides grind for bells, and 2.0 update to see what exactly the fans wanted). I just wish online functions were smoother and had mini games like new leaf, and that Celeste got an observatory in the museum like in wild world. It would be so perfect across the hall from the roost. I have over 1300 hours in this game and I've never used a treasure island or cared about grinding for materials. The only changes I'd make would be having an end game tool that doesn't break (incentive to keep playing and get to that end stage), and maybe the ability to buy DIY items after you create them the first time (would help a LOT with seasonal decorations like Xmas ones). It would also be helpful to craft multiple things at once, and order multiple things at once especially at the nook machine. Other than that, you're totally right that some old game functions would suck in the modern day. Being able to terraform is so helpful, especially when it comes to bridges. I'll never forget the full hour i spent in new leaf trying to find a good bridge area just to have Isabelle deny it for some reason or another. Same with choosing where the houses go, I had so many hybrid gardens destroyed in ww and nl because someone moved in on top of them.
I’ve played since Wild World and I think there is a lot of valid criticism in my opinion, but i also think a lot is over exaggerated. It’s still a very fun game and I love it, but it is also lacking in many areas in comparison to the previous. However, it is sooo much stronger in certain areas, i just hope the next title is a better balance of all the games (+ more content, of course!) 😅🩵
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Typically, acnh videos I watch are speed builds or speed running acnh islands so it's really nice to see it played as intended again.
This was relaxing and I enjoyed watching. This is how I like to play. I tried to do themed islands and liked doing them at first. Then it turned into a chore and I couldn't wait to start over. Can't wait to see more videos!
I love that you’re just playing the game!!! It’s my fave!! I also like long plays!! Anything honestly. But have you playing while I play on my forever island. Trying to get all the goals!!! ❤
I really enjoy these longplay videos, its kinda like the streams but with no "interruptions", I like to play along to these & I hope that more videos like this one will follow for this new project :)
I also enjoyed doing Redds games, at least until I got them all. On GHOSTEARTH, I also had a little scavenger hunt. I had eav variation of pocket magazines, and pocketbooks scattered all over the island. One was hidden in my house too.
I love both Timmy and Tommy. I think Tommy is so sweet cute and shy but I’ve recently fell in love with Timmy because I feel like he’s the older more outgoing twin so he speaks more because he knows his twin is more shy and doesn’t like talking much. Obviously I’ve made up my own lore for them 😭 but it makes them seem so much more sweet and baby.
Oh for a forever island that you might plan on100 percenting. You ay want to also not quite sell every single piece of clothing that you do not like. All clothes have styles, and the styles is most important for the Label fashion check. Try and keep 3 items from every style, until you have each of her items. Shirt and bottoms, or 1 piece Headwear Accessories Socks Shoes Backpack I hope this helps. I generally try and keep the clothes and check styles, and swap out for dresses in preparation for Label, but May not bother if doing a TI. Good luck, but there are lots of different styles; Comfy, everyday, fairy tale, formal, goth, outdoorsy, sporty, party, work, and probably more, unless mistaken. I hope this helps.
If you restart your island do you lose the dream address of the old island or can you revisit your old dream address? And if so how long do your old dream addresses last for? Would be great if you could do a video on this as its really tricky to find confirmed information on this. Love your videos :)
Oh, I do not know where your pier is located at, or it it is a small or long one. One time, when I had an island the pier was on the left side, or your left side, facing resident services. It never spawned any fish without fish bait. Just for normal fish like horse mackerel and sea basses. It never spawned the rarer fish, even with fish bait. I eventually googled the problem, and apparently, several people were stuck with the same short pier on the same side of the island. Now, I will never even choose a map which does not have a long pier on the right hand side of us looking at the map, and I am always able to catch fish naturally on the pier, without wasting fish bait, unless I try for the rarer ones.

I look forward to this series! I started my forever, casual island and love the familiar coziness of it all. Love this !
Very excited for your new way to play - I will enjoy watching this winter while crocheting and keeping cozy inside!
This is so exciting!! I love ACNH casual lets plays so much
Omg you got my dream forever starter map too! I’ve just never had it cause I’m picky about peninsula, rocks, beaches etc 😅

I’m so excited for this series. Katt is my all time favorite. I’ve had her on my forever island since 2020! 😻
Yay I am so excited for this island… loving the longer video ❤
Thank you ☺
Yeii restarted for a forever island as well 😍 good luck with it! I love it so far and it‘s so relaxing
Loved the pace and starting at the beginning. It is so refreshing. Thanks for the memories. I love this.

This video was so nice to watch. I’m getting back into “normal” acnh game play and it’s so fun
Awww yess!! Forever islands seem like so much fun but I only have one switch right now😭 I’m so excited to see the progression of this island❤
Awww Thank you so much 🥰
@ Of course!!
I love that you’re just playing the game!!! It’s my fave!! I also like long plays!! Anything honestly. But have you playing while I play on my forever island. Trying to get all the goals!!! ❤
Loved the video Melissa. Can't wait til the next episode.
This was so relaxing. Looking forward to what comes next. Katt is alright, I had Cousteau as my starter
I’ve not long started a forever island, so I am really excited for this series. Team Tommy all the way
I really enjoy these longplay videos, its kinda like the streams but with no "interruptions", I like to play along to these & I hope that more videos like this one will follow for this new project :)
Me too!
I also enjoyed doing Redds games, at least until I got them all.
On GHOSTEARTH, I also had a little scavenger hunt.
I had eav variation of pocket magazines, and pocketbooks scattered all over the island. One was hidden in my house too.
This was cozy, and I enjoyed watching it.
I also like picking my weeds too.
Thank you so much 😊
I love this!
I started a new island on my second switch January 1st and I’m not doing any time traveling or treasure islands. Gonna do it the old fashioned way 😂
I love both Timmy and Tommy. I think Tommy is so sweet cute and shy but I’ve recently fell in love with Timmy because I feel like he’s the older more outgoing twin so he speaks more because he knows his twin is more shy and doesn’t like talking much. Obviously I’ve made up my own lore for them 😭 but it makes them seem so much more sweet and baby.
Oh for a forever island that you might plan on100 percenting.
You ay want to also not quite sell every single piece of clothing that you do not like.
All clothes have styles, and the styles is most important for the Label fashion check.
Try and keep 3 items from every style, until you have each of her items.
Shirt and bottoms, or 1 piece
Headwear
Accessories
Socks
Shoes
Backpack
I hope this helps.
I generally try and keep the clothes and check styles, and swap out for dresses in preparation for Label, but
May not bother if doing a TI.
Good luck, but there are lots of different styles;
Comfy, everyday, fairy tale, formal, goth, outdoorsy, sporty, party, work, and probably more, unless mistaken.
I hope this helps.
the round yellow ball on the fishing pole is the bobber
You have Cousteau as a starter villager!! That is amazing! I love Couseau.. he's a 10 for me! and Katt is an 8 for me
Cute starter villagers. I say a 6 for both mostly b/c I've never had them.
Starters - 8 for Cousteau (oui oui) and 2 for Kat (eek)
Blob, blob 😆 It's a bobber but I like your name for it better!
Good luck on your forever island. Is that a duck shaped pond at the top of the beach?
i love longplays
Im finally got a 5 star rating on my old island. Not sure what else to put on my island.
Yeeeeeess I’m so excited for this
When i do time traveling. I try and just use it to move houses all over and also bridges.
this is my superbowl
Ah forever island is this different from your other island you had while we were watching chunk island?
Yes this is a new different island 😊
Question which island did u use your forever island on im thinking that the one im on is not my forever island.
If you restart your island do you lose the dream address of the old island or can you revisit your old dream address? And if so how long do your old dream addresses last for? Would be great if you could do a video on this as its really tricky to find confirmed information on this. Love your videos :)

When doing a forever island do you pre plan it, or will you just see what comes to you?
I will not be planning this island 😊
Do you like your villagers in your island on animal crossing new horizons?
Yes!!! 🎉❤
Are you ever going to work on Moonbean again?
I'm looking forward to all the content coming up!
At some point in the future I would like to yes. But not sure when.
Tommy❤❤❤❤❤
Hi💘
Hey 👋
this is so exciting!! congrats starting on your forever island, Melissa - can't wait to see how it develops 🩷
Thank you ☺
