I love starting on fresh islands. I must be the only one that rolls with what the game gives me though. I don't reroll a hundred times or have favorite villagers or not favorite villagers or anything like that.
I think over the years, as someone who’s played since the very first ac, you sincerely develop bonds with the villigars, and in some instances, some become your genuine favorites. That’s the beauty of this franchise and why it’s the second most successful game for switch. It’s just something about animal crossing that’s screams childhood, nostalgia, and beauty ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏽
I just started playing for the first time and I had no idea you could have different island layouts than the 4 they gave you and now I'm kinda sad 😂 just proves there is still so much I dont know about this game lol
I’ve played over 300 hours of this game and never restarted my island. I never knew there were so many different island layouts!?! I thought there were just the 4 they show you when you start the game. 😱
I was so upset when I started playing. I said to my bf , I don't like these choices. He's like just pick one ... if I only knew back then ( 2 months ago lol)
I just started my forever island. I'm almost finished with it! I've had it for 6 months and my goal is to have complete museum, every villager home decorated, beaches fully decorated, and I want to participate in every villagers birthday at least once and celebrate every holiday, etc. It's helped me gain my love back for the game. I kept it the whole 2023, i just restarted on January 1 of 2024 and currently am working on finishing my mood board, i got 3 of my dreamies already.
Katt is the best sisterly… I took her once just to get a sisterly for the reactions and planned to dump her quickly but fell in love! I rolled a forever island on my switch #1 and was so happy to invite her ❤ she’s so sweet and plays the drums in her house to her music and looks so pleased doing it
@@Artist_shaboI had to sell my switch a year after animal crossing came out. I just got a new one thinking I could still get my island back from the cloud. They only keep it two years 😭😭😭😭😭 I was devastated but I'm starting over 🥺 As long as I find my baby Aurora
I found you tonight while I was decorating and terraforming my island while my son napped and I’m subbing for sure. I feel like I was playing with you as I built along side your video. That was a lot of fun. Thanks!
Omg I started my new forever island like a month ago and I also named it Calathea (because I had recently gotten a new calathea plant and it is my new baby)! I'm also absolutely obsessed with the name Calathea, still so happy I chose it
I just restarted my island recently too, hoping it'll be a forever island!!! I also got Katt as a starter and unexpectedly loved her, same with Deena on a nmt island! AND I got some nmt from a TI and found one of my favorite villagers from my first ever island (Tutu the bear, love her so much), it was a sign so she came home with me too... but then BAROLD autofilled in my last plot. TLDR good luck does run out eventually
I literally just started a new island while watching this video and got like the best island for me. Blue airport, starters I've never had before, pears, and tulips. All first try
Bottom right of reroll 4 is my first island i started in winter. Returned after a few months and restarted. I actually didnt know there were other island layouts until i restarted
restarted my island about two weeks ago bc i haven't played in a long while and this is my first long-term island and so far the acnh gods have been smiling down on me I got a blue airport, while the resident services are sadly close to it, i dont really care about that, the rivers are nice (one of the rivers even ends in a heart shape). Even the mandatory villagers I'm getting have been amazing!! My starter villagers were Cherry and Snake, both villagers I LOVE. The three villagers I got was Felicity, who I actually convinced to come to my island on my first nook island, Pekoe, who I also met, on my second nook island (tho by that time she was already predestined to move in), and Rodeo. Then the campsite villager is Quillson, who I know a lot of people dont like but I find this smug lil duck so cute
Lol, I got pretty lucky because I was gonna give up and settle for whatever I got, but on the last roll, I got what I wanted, oranges as my native fruit with a yellow airport! ❤
@@sparksby I'm pretty sure it will! As long as you are having fun with creating whatever you feel like there will be nothing in the way of the island becoming exactly what you want it to be. 💚
You are as bad as me at restarting until I get a good map lol I love ur style I could watch you create all day. The islands you create are always beautiful. ❤️
I’ve restarted my island 7 times😅 I’ve played ACNH since the day it came out and I’ve restarted that much😂 Maybe I should keep my island that I have now lol😊🎉 Nice video btw!
I got back into acnh recently and decided to try doing an island that was mostly just one color, and the most agonizing part has definitely been trying to do this whole thing without time traveling. I do kind of wish i did some rerolls before deciding on an island layout
I’ve been wanting to restart my island since the beginning back in 2020 but I haven’t because I feel part of the problem is me and not knowing how to decorate.
You have the same denim cap my villagers Sheldon gave me yesterday and color when I started a new Island yesterday and my oufit was black and white stripy top for starter
Hey Sparksby, I have a question. If you upload a DA for an island, and then restart on the same switch and save a new DA, does it overwrite the old DA?
20:03 top right is my island map! i hated it so much at first but i didnt know i could reset but i love it now im bad at designing tho, so my island looks like a hot mess, but its *my* hot mess 😔
Once you restart an island, how do you know where to place new cliffs? I recently restarted and completely flattened my island out and have NO idea where to build cliffs or rivers...
Could I ask for advice? (Sorry if it’s long, it doesn’t take much time to read) I’m a pretty amateur animal crossing player. I’ve had the game for quite a while, and I’ve never restarted. I’ve always stayed with my first ever island. But I haven’t really played in months, just visited it from time to time. Probably because I screwed it up. My island is ugly and full of junk, and it’s full with pretty mid villagers. I only really like 1. I’ve gone way too far to redo it (as in it’ll literally take me a year to flatten) but I don’t want to keep it this way. I was way too obsessed with villager hunting at the start of the game so I barely had any nook mikes tickets to actually work with, so it’d just autofill into random villagers. I also didn’t buy any decorations because I spent the little money I had on tickets. But, my house is really pretty and the game is full of really good memories. I feel like I’d miss it and regret it if I restarted it, but if I didn’t I don’t think I’d really play game anymore. I have a really cute idea for the island and I think it’d be great to start from scratch, but I’m definitely not getting another 300$ switch +another game just so I can have 2 islands. I feel like restarting your first island for me would be like if you got your first pet, and when it got old and ugly you just threw it away and replaced it with something younger. It’s definitely an exaggeration, but even understanding that I don’t know if I’d be able to shake off the guilt. I don’t understand why you can only have 1 island per switch. Do you think I should restart? I keep going back and forth, and I think it’s be good to get advice from a chronic restarter.
I hate restarting the game because you can only do so much per day and I’m the type of person who wants to play a lot at 1 time. Lol Also, I love the white and yellow striped shirt, so that’s one thing that would get me to restart the game so much so I can get that because I’m stuck with it for a while. Lol and it depends on the villagers too. But I don’t care how good the villagers are. I just want cute ones. Lol
I always time travel when I start a new island but only to speed up constructions and that’s it as I like to play for a long time in one sitting and I can only do so much fishing and catching bugs until I get bored lol
Ooof, this is always a struggle of mine too... Sometimes I search 'pretty words' on Pinterest and then try and find something that fits the vibe I want or I just use plant names that I love! 😊
I just restarted and im trying to do no time travel and ‘the intended way’ to cure my burnout but im not sure how long im gonna last😅 its taking so long just to get isabelle on my island!!
You can visit Calathea at DA-4160-7822-1001
I hope you enjoy!
I love starting on fresh islands. I must be the only one that rolls with what the game gives me though. I don't reroll a hundred times or have favorite villagers or not favorite villagers or anything like that.
Also definitely super fun! Always depends a bit on my vision for the island! 🥰

@@dolly15roxMy cousin reset the game 375 times to get the right island and starting villagers 🤣

same!!!
omg same !

I loved this so much. I have over 2300 hours in my island that I started the day after release. I can't bring myself to restarting.
Same and ill never restart my island is a forever island for EVER

I still have my original island too, I won’t ever restart that one! But I do have a second switch and I’ve restarted that island a few times 😊

This was so entertaining!! I’m a little late to the game but I’m here for it!!
I have never clicked on a video so fast! Now off to actually watch it 😂
I've actually had Matt and Adel as starters! Also Agnes and Billy r my dreamiesss😭

I have the map on reroll 8. Top right. Loved it bcuz it remind me of antennas on bugs. But it’s a yellow airport for me🥰
Lol, I got pretty lucky because I was gonna give up and settle for whatever I got, but on the last roll, I got what I wanted, oranges as my native fruit with a yellow airport! ❤
Pashmina and Dom that’s so lucky 🙊
holy heck this editing turned out amazing! (as always

when i did that i was crying it was a lot for me i was like 😢
It’s literally my map! Identical! I’m so excited to see what you do with it. I need some inspiration 😂
I’ve restarted my island 7 times😅
I’ve played ACNH since the day it came out and I’ve restarted that much😂
Maybe I should keep my island that I have now lol😊🎉
Nice video btw!
Honestly do what’s fun to you! If that’s restarting, that’s totally valid! 🥰
Agnes and Billy are literally the best starters possible!😭😭😭
oh man just watching this makes me want to play animal crossing again! I'm so on the fence if I want to get back on to it or not lol.
im really looking forward to this!! the editing was amazing btw~ l
i loved eucalyptus but calathea is very pretty as well and i love that you have a connection to it :))))
my finals start tmrw and this video just made me so happy, i needed the mental break:D
You got this! I wish you all the best for your finals!! 👏🏻
You got the best starters! I got every neon character in the game over and over 😢
I really enjoyed watching all the rerolls!

I RESTARTED LAST NIGHT TOO OMGHHHH!❤️❤️❤️
The bit with Malun cracked me up. It's always hysterical to me when I misspell my own name too.
This is so exciting. I followed your last one.

29:13
That fish was not having it
You are me . I’ve been looking for the best island for days still haven’t found the one😭
Why is watching people reroll maps so satisfying?
This was soooo fun for me to watch tysm for making me laugh :)
Have you heard of Froggycrossing?
You guys should do a calab because you both love love LOVE acnh
Yessss! I agree! They would be so funny together!
Agnes is my all time favourite!!!🩷
Just watched this video I'd love to visit and play along side I have no animal crossing friends
You have the same denim cap my villagers Sheldon gave me yesterday and color when I started a new Island yesterday and my oufit was black and white stripy top for starter
Dizzy's smile!!! All those teeth! 😁🤣
7:39 The top right is my exact island i picked
Got me at the,
"Ohr nor, the peninsular."
Oh my , how did you get all your villagers to show up for KK Slider ! Only 1-3 show up at any given time on my island. I'd love that group shot
oh wow you got Shino as one of your villagers?? So cute I just can't 🤩
I was crying laughing so... craughing! That was so entertaining! Thank you for that. 😂😂😂
Hahaha yay!! 😂🤭
Craughing-XD ima start using that word 😂😂

The way you were talking as Axel had me laughing is hard omg pls keep doing that until he leaves LMAOO

Hey Sparksby, I have a question. If you upload a DA for an island, and then restart on the same switch and save a new DA, does it overwrite the old DA?
No! If you start a completely new island even if on the same switch, it’ll be a total different DA! 🥰
@@sparksby That's awesome! Thank you 🥰
I love starting on fresh islands ! i have 14 🤣
I have over 2000 hours to start over 😢not sure I could. Finally got characters I love and will it delete the dlc. 😮❤
Totally understand that as well! Unfortunately it would delete the DLC as well 😖
It will delete ur save data for the dlc but you dont have to buy it again 😉

Omg my birthday is the second of July! I’ve never met anyone with the same birthday, but I know/know of so many who are one day off 😭
How do you restart an island? If you already have an account? It’s probably a dumb question, but how??
You have to delete the save data for Animal Crossing, so you delete your island!
It’s funny cause I got the perfect island and blue airport first try
love your voide
I really just don't understand why the rivers matters so much XD you get Terraforming XD this wasn't a No Terraforming challenge XD
watching this an i have the butterfly rock haha
I want axel now😂❤❤
You make me want to play😂
I’m british 26:32 it sounds british
Nintendo needs to let us cycle through ALL peninsula options. Not having to reroll over and over and over ad nauseum… 😅
I resented my Greenville island to Atlantis
If I restart a new island, does it delete my dlc happy home? Do I have to re buy? Do I have to restart everything over there?
If you restart your island, your hhp progress will be gone, however you will still have the dlc:)
thought i was bad
My birthday is the 3rd of July to
Ok but how did you know I just restarted and am doing the same thing..?
