Just becareful to NOT upload your island to the dream address. I understand you want people to see what you did to your island with the modded items but you know how Nintendo is strict about that. Think about to the Star Tree Controversy when disgruntled people reported the islands as "cheating". They can do that so just beware that anything can get you banned if you choose to mod your switch while still using the Online service.
It’d be nice if Nintendo made an official modding platform for Acnh that allowed people to download mods officially. It’d make it much easier to mod and people would stop banning each other. They’ve done it with Minecraft and it’s really taken off. Best thing is that they’d never have to drop an update again (even though they won’t anyway) because players will be self sufficient.
I think having a little area to make 3D objects in (able to be priced 0-25,000). it wouldnt be preset 3d models you paint on like dresses and all that and it'd probably have to get verified first and then upload a day after you posted it if it follows nintendos rules (eg. no innapropriate content). the sizes would be 0.5x0.5-4x4, providing 50 slots. there'd be 10 extra slots that can be sizes 4.5x4.5-6x6 i think this would be fair but feel free to suggest other ideas because i havent played animal crossing before.
Keep on dreaming every night I dream that I can mod my switch with a new exploit play that are we found but I know a new exploit will not be found for a V2 switch I am definitely smart enough to mod my switch because I already hacked my 3DS my Wii U and my Wii
@@that_tvhead well problem you would probably have some bad seeds that will like make inappropriate models EG NSFW content so Nintendo would have to get rid of those bad apples but the closest thing we have is patterns right now
I don't see an issue on this. I think Nintendo really dropped the ball by not keeping up with the updates and giving up after a year and a half. Keep up the good work modding community
I would mod if I had a second switch, but I can’t afford to potentially brick my switch to ever take the risk. Had a modded og Xbox way back in the day with almost the entire nes snes genesis 64 and ps1, game libraries, good times. Love your content Kora.
Bricking on Switch is almost impossible tho, and even if you do you can easily recover with a backup of your nand. The thing you should be worried is about getting banned.
hacking the switch isnt even doable if you dont know how to do soldering unless if u have a unpatched switch i have a jb switch lite and its awesome. u can unlock the switchs full potential
I like seeing the island decorations that mods have created, some are absolutly amazing, others proivide so very nice homey touches. Of course, I would not mind having the items from Able Sisters shot for my sewing room LOL. Mods do not affect others. I'm to lazy to figure out how it done and have no shame with living vicariously thru others.
i kinda wish they’d make a feature for community contributions. like custom packs / furnitures that you could import Via the online service or smth. or where you could make custom furniture by making it with a “3d model software” made specifically for animal crossing. // to make sure no assets are stolen from other games etc, they’d have one for animal crossing *specifically*. this is like 100% too much anyone could ask for but would be kinda cool ngl. still, wishful thinking but man. the stuff the community could create with that.
Awesome idea!!! Little white base designs that we can change the textures or colors of, carve (in a pixel art way, similar to paths but.. more 3d) it'd be difficult to make easy for the entire community given there ARE kids but.. Nintendo's animal crossing fanbase is insanely creative and always thinking outside the box. Nintendo implimenting a sort of custom furniture type thing would be so cool! I'm like imagining minecraft marketplace but with nintendo's weird rules 😅
I've noticed a difference in modding trends between games. Acnl was more plants on rocks and public works projects on beaches+furniture outside when it came to mods, where as new horizons lacks so many plant items the modding community basically said "fine I'll do it myself" and added amazing furniture. Even with 2.0 adding additional items (most still being one item with up to 8 recolors) I never felt like there was enough item diversity in new horizons so I'm glad the modders are showing off their creative item sets.
I am not going to mod my switch. I have nothing against those who do it, but I just don't wanna risk getting banned. Its sad when Nintendo has abandoned this game and the modders are keeping it alive.
I agree - it's not competitive, and what I LOVE about modding and the people who are sharing their creations is the fact that it's openly and freely given. TIs are the most common example, but item modders too. I'll also have to check out that documentary! Thank you for the suggestion. :)
I have an idea. What if nintendo made an option in the next game where you can make your own furniture? Like with custom designs but furniture. You could choose a chair from the game and give it new paint or new fabric, or even give it a complete makeover. There should definetely be more plants, i agree. And being able to establish an entire ecosystem in a pond? Theres nothing i want more. I want to let my ponds and rivers quite literally blossom with different kinds of lilypads, shrubs, mangroves, and bugs too. It would be so awesome if they added more wildlife in the next game, since it is based around nature. Animal crossing helped me learn a lot about some bugs and fish that i wouldnt have known anything about if it wasnt for that game, so if they could help spread awareness on some more endangered species (like minecraft did), that would probably bring a lot more attention to them. Theres a lot of things that Nintendo are missing out on.
I think the only reason to hate it is the crippling jealousy over the items we can't have or the trees we cannot plant next to/on water. Aside from that, it's a solo game, people can play however the hell they want.
I'm gonna be honest. I have gone through and modded my switch about six months ago. And honestly, I've gone back to playing vanilla. Personally, if I have everything at my disposal for a game, I don't feel like playing it: especially animal crossing. It was amazing to be able to call items into my inventory instantly, and speed up animations. But it felt very stressful because suddenly I felt like I needed to make a beautiful island right away. But of course, that's just my experience, yours might be different. If I were to fire up hacks again, I'd probably just do a few cheats of speeding up animations, immediate nook shopping items to your inventory after ordering, and instant text. I wouldn't want to hack in anything else because it would feel like I had nothing else to play the game for.
as someone very new to animal crossing the only concern I have is whether visiting someones island when they've used mods is going to cause any risk to you. like whether it could crash your save file or break your switch or something just by visiting them. I still use turnip exchange quite often and I keep passing up really good deals out of fear that visiting a modded island is gonna ruin my life 😂
I don’t think it would affect you. If they did model swaps you only see the original items from your point of view. You’d see weird things like items in water that isn’t possible though. I don’t think it will harm your game. The modder that opened their island for a visit puts themselves out there to Nintendo. I’m too chicken to lift the safeguards that custom firmware has put on my my modded Switch though to invite anyone over for a visit . lol
I’m not trying to be rude, but I feel like modding just doesn’t add a good feeling for me. I feel like animal crossing wasn’t meant to go this far with designing/ complexity. To each there own I guess
I think mods are really cool, made by the community and a new breath of fresh air for players. I will probably never use them though, just because I’m someone who doesn’t like taking big risks. The mods could corrupt your game or Nintendo may spot you using them and punish you. For me at least it’s not worth it because I’ve spent dozens of hours on my island and I would be devastated if I lost it. Edit: my switch can’t use mods anyways because it’s one of the newer models
Also, if you DO mod your switch, don't forget that Nintendo apparently keeps record of what you have, as well as the different parameters of what you have on your island, so keep that in mind if you do get a notification about hacked items in your DA, especially if that happens only a short time after uploading your address.
games like minecraft and sims who dont only make it easy to mod, but actively encourage it, i will always love and if you look around there are discord servers that let you have access to hacked stuff without actually hacking your island, its wonderful
I use mods on pc games that I have played through multiple times. they're all single player so they don't affect anyone's gameplay. Even though I own an og switch, I'm not sure I want to risk it. But the mods the ac community are creating, I absolutely adore how cute they are!
If Nintendo would just have their people put a few more hours into ACNH, they could not only provide all that modding can provide but also make their fan base happier and more loyal. They could even make more money from us as well but for some reason they don't care. I almost think that the reason they won't provide more updates, is that they are just too lazy. The fan base has given them a zilliion great ideas but they are too lazy to follow up on any of them or create any of their own. [/gripe]
I know these videos always come to the conclusion of" do what you want " but to me they are still fun, and tell us what the RUclipsrs think of the subject. So Kora, keep on what you are doing!👍😁
Don't do it on your new switch. Do it on the older switch that didn't get updated so that way Nintendo won't find out that you're using mods and make sure NEVER use their Online Service.
@@snailien363 must have used emunand or pirated bc if you use sysnand and don’t pirate Acnh will not get you banned. Just take a look at all the treasure islands that are online 24/7 they’re on hacked switches and aren’t banned Edit so basically if you do actually know people who were banned it wasn’t bc of Acnh
Nintendo should have an official and FREE system for easy modding on the Switch/to make life easy on modders by making it open-source. You know. Since they abandoned ACNH.
I totally agree! Newer Xboxes let you mod without getting banned while they're fully aware of it. You can mod your more recent Xbox safely if you don't pirate games. Why doesn't Nintendo do this?
@@KoraAperture I guess they assume it will hurt their sales (like their attitude with emulators for games AND consoles they refuse to produce or sell anymore, even if the person using it obtained the game legally), but look at what it's done for Starbound, for Skyrim: It kept bringing money IN (so much so that Starbound got multiple updates years later, and therefore had an influx of new players) because it was able to reach a wider audience, because people could continue to add content well after the launch at no expense to the company, and therefore no expense to the playerbase unless they could and wanted to show their support. I think the only feasible argument might be that they are afraid of 1. the community creating something that destroys their vision for the IP in general, (which is literally impossible for any single entity, you will always have opposing and contrasting interpretations because PEOPLE are complex and they are what's playing your games. If worried about being associated with some ideal or concept they don't agree with, it's absurd. Adult mods for Skyrim or Starbound do not prevent children from enjoying the vanilla experience, nor anyone from any age, for that matter.) or 2. they are afraid the community will start holding them accountable for their anti-consumer choices. Like their latest habit of launching games in an unfinished state, continued issues with never lowering prices for games older than 10 years with no improvements (still contain bugs), etc.
Okay says the GTA fan you should know that game is very bad it is inappropriate if I were you I would go buy Super Mario instead even though I'm a pirate
Wow, modding is starting to become more popular, I actually have a switch that I got from launch, but I’m too scared to break my switch on accident. Although I really want to mod my switch so bad-
Go for it, bricking is almost impossible, and even if you do, most guides online makes you make a nand backup (basically the heart of your Switch) and if you brick you can easily recover from it.
I wish that there was like a way for us to buy layouts with bells that would be super cool and actually being able to use stuff in the game like a bath or a pool or something.
I did this on my 3DS for New Leaf and let me tell you... I loved it! I sunk so many hours into it. I don't think I'll do it for ACNH, though. When I considered it, it seemed like it'll be a lot of work and maintenance... and I'm forgetful lol
I feel like Nintendo should’ve made an update where you can change your island name, it would make a huge change. I remember deleting my island maybe like.. 5 times?! I wasn’t comfortable with the island name.
It really does bother me how Nintendo is only offering the one dlc and expecting the game to last for the next 7 years or however long until we get the next installment.
I'm looking forward until modding fixes a lot my issues that spoiled the enjoyment out of NH for me. Mainly how long my play sessions were per day compared to New Leaf, Tom Nook is in control but not really, Isabelle being next to useless after forming a connection with her in New Leaf and the worst offender which is how they handled shops. Harv's island doesn't feel connected to my island, I want a mod that allows these places to exist on my island or a sub area like previous installments town centres.
So I decided to mod my switch. Is it safe to visit my other switch island and get items with the online switch. I new to this and I'm a little paranoid to get banned.
I think modding games and homebrew are so cool and fun, but I think it's not fun if hack game to be annoying like competitive game to cheat or illegal download games that is available buy legally. Mods that I enjoy like Animal crossing, super Smash ultimate skins/music I think you still be careful to not get ban especially mod that change gameplay of a game.
You can mod with the newer switches but it is a little bit more complicated since some welding is required and you need to buy something called a chip, so is not for everyone 😅
I agree that splatoon hackers should get banned animal crossing is a different story but with splatoon a lot of hackers are posting spoilers and ruining a game that people have been waiting years for Animal crossing hackers are mostly just enjoying the game a different way
Nooks Cranny is kinda stuck wich is super weird since many characters visits the plaza but don’t get their own show like they had in New Leaf. They could at least offer design options like you can do to your house so Nooks Cranny doesn’t destroy the aesthetic of the island.
If Nintendo added the option to add mod you know it'll cost a lot of money to get them and will most likely nee the online thingy which costs a lot. Also I miss pocket camp, since it got removed from Android I've been sad that so many hours I spent in that game when I was at my lowest is now gone
I have a pretty old switch (got it at the end of 2017) and now an oled but I am terrified of modding my switch since I’m stupid and don’t want my account banned or something so I’ll just admire everyone else😅
If i had the magic combo of money and know-how ? yes ... Yes i would mod b'cuz my dearest wish is to have the fountain from the butterfly museum. But anyway ; what i took from this is putting lights behind the trees in a grove ! That looks fab-oo.
I've had a troubled history with modding Nintendo products so, as fun as it would be to inject some new content to get me back into playing New Horizons, I'll probably pass 😅 (My Switch is most likely a patched version anyway 🤷♂)
personally i am SO thankful that the acnh modding community started popping off, i haven’t played the game in months, maybe almost a year. mods however made me interested in this game once again and i’m currently back to playing every day! (that is, until splatoon 3 comes out)
I’m tempted to mod my switch cause I got it December 2017. But I’m afraid something will happen to it. In the next game, we should be able to customize the buildings and have a wider range of colors on furniture. I also liked that in the original AC, villagers would paint your roof. I want some rudeness back.
I love ACNH but I can't risk modding it. I use my switch to stay in contact with my friends after moving to the city, so I can't risk getting banned. But man... this all looks so good. I haven't played in almost a YEAR due to school and I'm afraid of what I'll find when I go back. But also, I miss my sweet little island. It looked like trash because I can't terraform, but I loved it. I still do. I'm just... scared to go back.
Should just get a steam deck. It officially let's you do everything you'd probably want to do on a modded Nintendo switch without being potentially banned from all your legitimate purchases forever,Just because you wanted to play Gameboy advanced games that nintendo won't sell to you for some god forsaken reason. Mother 3 fans will understand my feelings.
But I'd wait to get one. Some ppl can't shell out another 300 on another gaming console, and the steam deck is a GREAT idea but right now, needs major fine tuning. But for sure, in the future models it'll be more than worth it
Is there a mod for giving villagers more dialogue and changing the music to previous games' OSTs? It would be wonderful if Nintendo did that but they won't 🤣
It's worth mentioning that emulation is a good option if you have a decent PC. Given these mods are single player only you're not losing anything with an inability to play online multiplayer. Games can be legally dumped or illegally obtained of course. Depending on your moral viewpoint, you may either have zero issue with that or view it as being fine as you've bought the game. Yuzu and Ryujinx both have excellent compatibility with Animal Crossing and have things such as resolution enhancement. If you're the kind of person that likes playing your Switch docked, then running the game at a higher res (1440p in my case) looks amazing. Modding via emulation also has zero repercussions as you're not at risk of being banned by Nintendo over anything. Final thing to note, newer Switches, Lites and OLEDs can be modded via modchip. It's just expensive as heck to have done and you'll have lost any warranty in the process.
I think it is cool and wish we could have this stuff but I won’t be doing this even if I had an older switch. The chance of getting caught and blocked even if it is small I love my acnh to much right now to lose of it. Too bad they wouldn’t hire these people to give us this stuff.
It''s honestly such a damn shame that they just decided "you know what?.. Let's stop here".. Imagine if like.. Minecraft just stopped updating their game 10 years ago?? Like it makes such little sense to me.. Man i miss the updated and the hype around them :''(
I wish modding was as easy and acessible as it is for fallout, elder scrolls, minecraft, and stardew valley. it would be deeply beneficial to players but I know Nintendo won't have it.
I feel like what I'd want from mods is just improvements to the core gameplay, and bringing back the more complex personalities villagers had, less so just, more furniture...
I got my Switch in April 2017, so I'm sure that the system version wouldn't be a problem for me. Though, I am a bit worried to do anything with modding on my Switch in case if I get banned from online play or anything like that. Recently, I have been playing some Wii U and Wii games with mods, though. I'm just finally getting used to playing popular fan projects from other Nintendo game communities like Project M and Mario Kart Wii CTGP.
This museum pound and river things are just to die for I am between fairy and forest core so it would just be amazing, but I have no clue how to do that I would eventually buy a switch just for acnh alone out of network
one thing thats been agreed upon between people who know how Japanese companies roll is that Japanese devs dont get the concept of how to cater to the audience, they dont get the concept of what would make a game truly shine and just stick to things that have always worked for them, which sucks because they lose all that wasted potential
Okay so, what’s the chance something bad happens? Like breaking my switch or being banned? I’m not gonna go online, is there a chance I still get banned? I just maybe want to customize the Home Screen. What are the consequences? I want to mod my switch, but it’s my only switch. I’m not risking it if there is a good chance. I’m just too fearful
I'm just asking for something so that customized pathway designs actually make a noise when we walk on them. It bothers me so much that they don't make a sound and it has never been corrected
Modding, cheating, whatever you wish to do with the product you bought should be ok, as long as you keep it to your console and don't dump anything online, "ruining" the game experience for legit players. Every online game should be fair for everyone, that's what I think. Sadly most people don't agree with that and prefer an online experience where hacking is permitted and justified.
I say hacking online is okay as long as you're hosting the server and everyone gets the hack. Like making a fun lobby is okay in my opinion. Now joining someone's random lobby and killing everyone is a different story.
Just becareful to NOT upload your island to the dream address. I understand you want people to see what you did to your island with the modded items but you know how Nintendo is strict about that.

your island doesnt get banned. its only your dream address that gets banned
Wouldnt the mods end up invisible or glitchy from a non-modded switch?
@@raekuni Exactly. You just get banned from NSO all together.
I'd also like to add that while it is unlikely, I would watch out for future patch updates that'll remove all these mods.

Don't do it on your new switch. Do it on the older switch that didn't get updated so that way Nintendo won't find out that you're using mods and make sure NEVER use their Online Service.
You can use online with ac mods, they only ban for piracy and using mods in competitive games. Or if someone reports but so far no one has been banned
@@T_Jade I know many ppl who have been banned over AC:NH
@@snailien363 must have used emunand or pirated bc if you use sysnand and don’t pirate Acnh will not get you banned. Just take a look at all the treasure islands that are online 24/7 they’re on hacked switches and aren’t banned
Edit so basically if you do actually know people who were banned it wasn’t bc of Acnh
@@T_Jade if i jailbreak my oled and would never connect it to internet, it is safe?!
How i can connect a jailbroken switch to net?!
I wish there were a villager editor - so I could pick appearance, character, and name for an npc - and invite him to my island
Nintendo should have an official and FREE system for easy modding on the Switch/to make life easy on modders by making it open-source. You know. Since they abandoned ACNH.
I totally agree! Newer Xboxes let you mod without getting banned while they're fully aware of it. You can mod your more recent Xbox safely if you don't pirate games. Why doesn't Nintendo do this?
@@KoraAperture I guess they assume it will hurt their sales (like their attitude with emulators for games AND consoles they refuse to produce or sell anymore, even if the person using it obtained the game legally), but look at what it's done for Starbound, for Skyrim: It kept bringing money IN (so much so that Starbound got multiple updates years later, and therefore had an influx of new players) because it was able to reach a wider audience, because people could continue to add content well after the launch at no expense to the company, and therefore no expense to the playerbase unless they could and wanted to show their support.
I think the only feasible argument might be that they are afraid of 1. the community creating something that destroys their vision for the IP in general, (which is literally impossible for any single entity, you will always have opposing and contrasting interpretations because PEOPLE are complex and they are what's playing your games. If worried about being associated with some ideal or concept they don't agree with, it's absurd. Adult mods for Skyrim or Starbound do not prevent children from enjoying the vanilla experience, nor anyone from any age, for that matter.) or 2. they are afraid the community will start holding them accountable for their anti-consumer choices. Like their latest habit of launching games in an unfinished state, continued issues with never lowering prices for games older than 10 years with no improvements (still contain bugs), etc.
This doesn't surprise me because this also happened with New Leaf
Okay says the GTA fan you should know that game is very bad it is inappropriate if I were you I would go buy Super Mario instead even though I'm a pirate
Wow, modding is starting to become more popular, I actually have a switch that I got from launch, but I’m too scared to break my switch on accident. Although I really want to mod my switch so bad-
Saaame
Go for it, bricking is almost impossible, and even if you do, most guides online makes you make a nand backup (basically the heart of your Switch) and if you brick you can easily recover from it.
@@AnonimoJodas thx for that! Im gonna think about it much more now! Might actually mod my switch after all!
i have a hack switch lite and its freaking awesome best portable consile
If you hack it and Nintendo finds out you WILL be banned from online
Omg i love love LOVE that you use the same backround music as one of my fav RUclipsrs, andiematronic! It fits ac so nicely!!
I wish that there was like a way for us to buy layouts with bells that would be super cool and actually being able to use stuff in the game like a bath or a pool or something.
I genuinely hope the next animal crossing has it to where you can have two villages/islands/towns
I did this on my 3DS for New Leaf and let me tell you... I loved it! I sunk so many hours into it. I don't think I'll do it for ACNH, though. When I considered it, it seemed like it'll be a lot of work and maintenance... and I'm forgetful lol
I feel like Nintendo should’ve made an update where you can change your island name, it would make a huge change. I remember deleting my island maybe like.. 5 times?! I wasn’t comfortable with the island name.
It really does bother me how Nintendo is only offering the one dlc and expecting the game to last for the next 7 years or however long until we get the next installment.
I'm looking forward until modding fixes a lot my issues that spoiled the enjoyment out of NH for me. Mainly how long my play sessions were per day compared to New Leaf, Tom Nook is in control but not really, Isabelle being next to useless after forming a connection with her in New Leaf and the worst offender which is how they handled shops. Harv's island doesn't feel connected to my island, I want a mod that allows these places to exist on my island or a sub area like previous installments town centres.
So I decided to mod my switch. Is it safe to visit my other switch island and get items with the online switch. I new to this and I'm a little paranoid to get banned.
I think modding games and homebrew are so cool and fun, but I think it's not fun if hack game to be annoying like competitive game to cheat or illegal download games that is available buy legally.
Mods that I enjoy like Animal crossing, super Smash ultimate skins/music
I think you still be careful to not get ban especially mod that change gameplay of a game.
You can mod with the newer switches but it is a little bit more complicated since some welding is required and you need to buy something called a chip, so is not for everyone 😅
I WISH I could mod it, it would bring life to the game for me.
I agree that splatoon hackers should get banned animal crossing is a different story but with splatoon a lot of hackers are posting spoilers and ruining a game that people have been waiting years for
Animal crossing hackers are mostly just enjoying the game a different way
Finally, a complete animal crossing game with heart and soul.
Correction: any switch can be modded but you'll need to install a chip with the later models.
Nooks Cranny is kinda stuck wich is super weird since many characters visits the plaza but don’t get their own show like they had in New Leaf.
They could at least offer design options like you can do to your house so Nooks Cranny doesn’t destroy the aesthetic of the island.
5:38 ayyyy my name is there :D
FUN FACT: they are still updating animal crossing but its not gonna be big free updates they say it in the last free update 1:36 it says in the bottom
If Nintendo added the option to add mod you know it'll cost a lot of money to get them and will most likely nee the online thingy which costs a lot. Also I miss pocket camp, since it got removed from Android I've been sad that so many hours I spent in that game when I was at my lowest is now gone
1:47 I misheard that so bad-
I have a pretty old switch (got it at the end of 2017) and now an oled but I am terrified of modding my switch since I’m stupid and don’t want my account banned or something so I’ll just admire everyone else😅
yah, i'd probably brick mine by accident 😓
If i had the magic combo of money and know-how ? yes ... Yes i would mod b'cuz my dearest wish is to have the fountain from the butterfly museum. But anyway ; what i took from this is putting lights behind the trees in a grove ! That looks fab-oo.
“Ooh! High score is cool on Netflix” *Tree falls in mollys head*
I wish this was somewhat like sims mods. You do you and no one gehts hurt, because its not online gameplay. Let people have fun nintendo!
I would love to mod my switch but it’s way to risky since I love my island
I've had a troubled history with modding Nintendo products so, as fun as it would be to inject some new content to get me back into playing New Horizons, I'll probably pass 😅 (My Switch is most likely a patched version anyway 🤷♂)
personally i am SO thankful that the acnh modding community started popping off, i haven’t played the game in months, maybe almost a year. mods however made me interested in this game once again and i’m currently back to playing every day! (that is, until splatoon 3 comes out)
I’m tempted to mod my switch cause I got it December 2017. But I’m afraid something will happen to it. In the next game, we should be able to customize the buildings and have a wider range of colors on furniture. I also liked that in the original AC, villagers would paint your roof. I want some rudeness back.
I have a modded Switch and one that isn’t modded. You just have to be really careful or you will get banned.
1:47 Why Did I Hear *THE OTHER CORN* Islands?
I love the mod artists like this so cool, let community run this game if the developers don’t care
its so weird omg, like modding a single player game that has multiplayer as an option isnt unfair to anyone, it just improves how your island looks
I love ACNH but I can't risk modding it. I use my switch to stay in contact with my friends after moving to the city, so I can't risk getting banned. But man... this all looks so good. I haven't played in almost a YEAR due to school and I'm afraid of what I'll find when I go back. But also, I miss my sweet little island. It looked like trash because I can't terraform, but I loved it. I still do. I'm just... scared to go back.
Thanks for featuring one of my photos 😭😭😭
Also rosie is purple. K bye!
Hi:)
Should just get a steam deck. It officially let's you do everything you'd probably want to do on a modded Nintendo switch without being potentially banned from all your legitimate purchases forever,Just because you wanted to play Gameboy advanced games that nintendo won't sell to you for some god forsaken reason.
Mother 3 fans will understand my feelings.
But I'd wait to get one. Some ppl can't shell out another 300 on another gaming console, and the steam deck is a GREAT idea but right now, needs major fine tuning. But for sure, in the future models it'll be more than worth it
Is there a mod for giving villagers more dialogue and changing the music to previous games' OSTs? It would be wonderful if Nintendo did that but they won't 🤣
There was definitely a mod that added I think the original AC soundtrack in.
@@IdiotRace That's awesome! I don't have a moddable switch but I wish I could have the NL ost modded into my game :D
I use a modded OLED for my animal crossing mods. It's my favorite and Perfect way to play acnh atm. Especially with 60fps mods
just figured out switch is old enough to mod, which is very cool, but I don’t think I ever will until I get a new one tbh. just in case.
i'm so jealous...
OMG...my Switch is like over 5 years old. It's probably able to be modded. I'm gonna look into it. 😄
2:42 Animal Crossing Burglary Mod
It's worth mentioning that emulation is a good option if you have a decent PC. Given these mods are single player only you're not losing anything with an inability to play online multiplayer.
Games can be legally dumped or illegally obtained of course. Depending on your moral viewpoint, you may either have zero issue with that or view it as being fine as you've bought the game.
Yuzu and Ryujinx both have excellent compatibility with Animal Crossing and have things such as resolution enhancement. If you're the kind of person that likes playing your Switch docked, then running the game at a higher res (1440p in my case) looks amazing.
Modding via emulation also has zero repercussions as you're not at risk of being banned by Nintendo over anything.
Final thing to note, newer Switches, Lites and OLEDs can be modded via modchip. It's just expensive as heck to have done and you'll have lost any warranty in the process.
4:13 No need for that many tickets.. the amibo card comes with amibo festival. I don’t even have a wii u, but got it for the two amibo and the cards.
I think it is cool and wish we could have this stuff but I won’t be doing this even if I had an older switch. The chance of getting caught and blocked even if it is small I love my acnh to much right now to lose of it. Too bad they wouldn’t hire these people to give us this stuff.
It''s honestly such a damn shame that they just decided "you know what?.. Let's stop here".. Imagine if like.. Minecraft just stopped updating their game 10 years ago?? Like it makes such little sense to me.. Man i miss the updated and the hype around them :''(
I got my switch a year after it launched
I wish modding was as easy and acessible as it is for fallout, elder scrolls, minecraft, and stardew valley. it would be deeply beneficial to players but I know Nintendo won't have it.
I feel like what I'd want from mods is just improvements to the core gameplay, and bringing back the more complex personalities villagers had, less so just, more furniture...
I got my Switch in April 2017, so I'm sure that the system version wouldn't be a problem for me. Though, I am a bit worried to do anything with modding on my Switch in case if I get banned from online play or anything like that. Recently, I have been playing some Wii U and Wii games with mods, though. I'm just finally getting used to playing popular fan projects from other Nintendo game communities like Project M and Mario Kart Wii CTGP.
I like the idea of modding my switch but I love online play
I have a launch day switch I got it for Christmas the same exact year
Love the island, and the message you’re putting out. I’ve got a question though. Can I have the design ID for those dirt patches?
I'd love to, but I'd rather not risk it
This museum pound and river things are just to die for I am between fairy and forest core so it would just be amazing, but I have no clue how to do that I would eventually buy a switch just for acnh alone out of network
well i modded my wii and it was easy and worth it. but on the switch... oh god its hard... and i dont wanna risk bricking my switch
Wii is easy to mod because of its age
I have a switch from like 2017 a lite and the new oled and Ive been considering modding the old one, thanks for this video!
i like looking at modded switches but id never mod mine, but all the results from mods are pretty cool
Nintendo has to hire modders for the animal crossing decorarions
The thumbnail goes so hard though
Okay but… A mod where you can put items out diagonally, instead of just horizontally at 90 degree angles. PLEASE. I want a corner chair!
i have an old switch, but its also very easy to get it bricked without mods, so you have to be very careful in general.
Nand.bin boot.elf sysnand.backup
There is a third option, and it rhymes with schmemunation.
one thing thats been agreed upon between people who know how Japanese companies roll is that Japanese devs dont get the concept of how to cater to the audience, they dont get the concept of what would make a game truly shine and just stick to things that have always worked for them, which sucks because they lose all that wasted potential
I mean, how else could Kermit throw a blue shell at Minecraft Steve while racing in Green Hill Zone
Okay so, what’s the chance something bad happens? Like breaking my switch or being banned? I’m not gonna go online, is there a chance I still get banned? I just maybe want to customize the Home Screen. What are the consequences? I want to mod my switch, but it’s my only switch. I’m not risking it if there is a good chance. I’m just too fearful
I'm just asking for something so that customized pathway designs actually make a noise when we walk on them.
It bothers me so much that they don't make a sound and it has never been corrected
I love all the Amazon items the Mods make but I love animal crossing too much to risk it 😂
yes. if u have an old ass switch id say do it you get more out of your console even if u dont use it for acnh
Modding can be good but also people have copy and pasted islands trough dream addresses
Modding, cheating, whatever you wish to do with the product you bought should be ok, as long as you keep it to your console and don't dump anything online, "ruining" the game experience for legit players.
Every online game should be fair for everyone, that's what I think. Sadly most people don't agree with that and prefer an online experience where hacking is permitted and justified.
I say hacking online is okay as long as you're hosting the server and everyone gets the hack. Like making a fun lobby is okay in my opinion. Now joining someone's random lobby and killing everyone is a different story.
I think modding yourown game just for yourself is ok but online hacking no
