Thanks for the tips! My depression has gotten so bad that I could even get up to play the very thing that fought against it for a while. This video was a huge breather.
I just bought New Horizons, and I'm gonna start playing in Christmas! Can't wait to decorate my little tent, upgrade to a House, and start decorating like crazy! Making my own designs for clothes and terraforming! I'm extremely excited, and I haven't played a single AC game ever, so I'm thrilled to see if it IS as Epic as I espect It to be. Edit: Yeah, it's super Epic. But... Guess my exterior decorating skills aren't as good as my interiors' skills... And now that I got rid of almost 100 percent of my island's landscape.... *I don't know what to do*
Thanks for sharing! This is so helpful! I’m over 900 hours in but I’m contemplating starting over. There is so much I didn’t know when I first started and my island is a disaster.
starting new horizons is so intimidating ! i feel so anxious to get my island to the perfect place where i want it to end up 😭 it’s starting to get there though !
For Anyone Getting The Game and Switch Soon: - I have both the game New Horizons and the switch in lite, I recommend getting the Nintendo Switch Lite if you aren't able to afford the regular switch as it works just as fine as the regular one. It also narrows your pricing down by a lot so you don't have to pay for much when you're at the register. 😁 Now, a case for the switch is optional (I don't have one). The reason I don't have a case is because I don't really take my switch anywhere with me, it also feels like it won't be capable to break easily. But if you feel like you're going to be taking it with you everywhere I recommend getting a case, they'll protect the switch no matter how many times you drop it. 😁 - The game New Horizons is amazing and super enjoyable to play, the music is flattering and calming. The game really gives off a cool, cute, classy, and relaxing vibe. I 10/10 recommend the game for anyone who loves designing, exploring things, and adventuring. The game allows the player to unlock and try new things, I know many of us are doing online school or are staying home often so the game is an easy way to release boredom or stress. I believe the game is definitely worth the price, because of the updates and cool new features it adds to the game monthly. When I first got the game I couldn't stop playing it because of how fun and attached I got to it. 💖 - I hope my tips on both the switch and New Horizons gave you help on buying them as I know Christmas is coming up and so is the Winter update in Animal Crossing. 🎄 Please stay safe and have an amazing day. 🌟
I didn't know anything about placing buildings and moving stuff because I played acnl and just did what I did there. I was so confused when I had to place the villagers myself 🤣🤣
Best tips video I’ve seen so far. Thanks! I got the game for my daughter as a Christmas present and I believe I’ve been playing more than her. 🤔 It’s addicting.
I restarted my island about a week ago and OMG, best choice ever! I’ve started terraforming recently and everything is coming together so nicely! Like it’s honestly becoming the dream island I wanted. 😅 Also great video! 💕💚
just received this game for my bf to help with my mental health. Thank you for taking the time to post this upload, it's eased my anxiety and answered some of my questions
@@k-poptrash6834 it’d probably only take 1 day if you time travel and if you have a lot of time on your hands, but may take a week if you don’t want to time travel. first you need 6 villagers for me my villagers were my starters, 3 I got from nook mile islands, and the 6th you have to get from the campsite. After that you get island evals, in which you need to get 3 stars so K.K. comes to your island and then you can terraform. (sorry this is a bit long because I’m sure you already know some steps by now)
I just got a switch the other day and was planning on buying animal crossing soon and was looking for just a video this was perfect thanks for the help I can’t wait to start playing.
Every time I restart I do the beach thing! It saves so much money and really gives me time to terriform and plan. Once I have the villager I want I put their house in the spot designated for them
omg- i got ACNH 3 days ago and im just NOW watching this- im planning on restarting it now since i dont like the map i chose, the villagers, or the native fruit. plus i LOVE changing things up 24/7 so yeah! but ty! this video was very helpful!
The second day of playing animal crossing i reccomend buying the pro designer if your more into dressing up your charecter .And dont forget to shake all the trees and bring a couple of medicine with you and some tools. Also recommend getting the slingshot to pop the balloons that are tied to the gifts that come everyday
I'm thinking of restarting my island because I suck and terraforming and I can't get my island the way I want it to be. I hate how best friends cant use the island designer app with you so if you have friends that are good at terraforming, you could tell them what you want done and they can do it for you. Terraforming, especially the water scaping tool, is so hard for me 😔
I’m so excited- I’m going through tons of videos bc I’m getting my first switch in a few days and I want this as my first game- I find these tips so great-
Hey Lex!! I just wanne say that i love your island, and you give me so much inspiration to build and what i want for my island!! much love from the netherlands ♥
I’m apparently watching your videos in reverse order. 😂 I love your videos a lot and I wanted to ask if you knew that you can bury $30,000 worth of bells and the tree will either grow $30,000 or $90,000! It doesn’t produce $90,000 bells every time but it does a few times a week (for me). This isn’t a tip that’s helpful until you’re farther along in the game but it’s one that I was told so I wanted to pass it on. ☺️
Yesss! I’m happy for u! I’m looking for someone to play with so sorry if this is random but.... when you get it do you want play together? It’s okay if not :^
I’m not sure if I want to restart or not after watching this video. I’m new to acnh anyways, I just got the nooks cranny and placed the 3 houses ready for more villagers. Can someone help me decide?
I wouldn’t. It’s tempting but I didn’t want to after I realized that I spent my time on it! I’m at the same spot as you soooo... but it’s up to you! If you want we can also play animal crossing together :^ heheh...
Just got a switch for Xmas. It’s awesome so far! I got an Animal Crossing addition of the switch which already came with Animal Crossing, so I’m looking at some tips. These are super helpful! Thanks!!
This makes me want to restart my island but I already did it once so I’ll pass maybe if there’s a new animal crossing game I could upgrade it and make it better

@@LexPlayy wait why exactly must we place houses on sand at first??
@@user-ql4dg1rn3s it helps while terraforming so you don have to move the houses all the time and wasting bells
