See, cheating is only bad when it ruins the fun for other people. If you're kicking ass in competitive games with aimbot, you're a dick, but if you're making star trees on your island that's just cool
Yeah exactly the amount of times I have spent messing around with cheats in single players is high. Especially whenever I start to get bored of a game like Skyrim for example running around with the most broken weapons is really fun for a little bit.
cheat if its your game and no one can be effected. or mod your console when the server shut down so you can see enjoy the game you have and mess with it. its your console do what you want. had to mod my Wii because my disk drive stop working and none of my games would load, E-waste to playable console.
With AC being a sandbox game, there isn’t really such thing as cheating in it. And warp pipes are great not just for getting to another side of your island more easily, but it’s also a clever way of making a functional train/subway/bus system to fit your island’s theme. I did this when making a Wild West island and it had a functional train system.
In my opinion, time traveling will never be cheating. Some of us have jobs and can only play at night. I'm gonna change the time so I'm not always playing in the dark and the shops will actually be open.
Especially since it has be in the series since the start (minus the first game in Japan only where there was not a clock). Resetti only cares if you did not save, not if you changed the clock. I personally do not TT on my switch but I know others who do.
@faithhaight This game series is literally designed for people that dont have much time. Time traveling takes up more of your time than if you were not doing it. Almost every little thing is designed to progress slowly over time while you pluck away at it bit by bit. At the start of the game, you even have an option where you can set time so that you have daytime during your RL night. You are just making weak excuses and shifting blame for your poor decision making skills. It's not a bad thing in this case, the conversation is about abusing it. Not using it for the intended purpose.
@@Brittany_1992 time offsets, incorrect timezones, non-conventional times, these tend to have a lot of glitches. What if one joins an island they don't know time travelled? Has items, eg ones that were not out when ACNH was going through Year 1 and all it's seasonal items? Some don't like that.
If it only affects your own game, I see no problem with cheating/hacking. The second it can damage someone else’s game/experience; that’s when I disagree with it
I literally cackled! 🤣 Elijah better be careful lest he incur the wrath of Big Bitch Billy and get a C&D or other type of lawsuit for "spreading defamation" about the infamous "alleged" speedrunning cheater!
I never cheated on animal crossing at all now I did come across people who were super helpful and would literally pay off my whole house for me. It happened alot of times and I was always grateful.
I don't think animal crossing cheating is cheating, really. Just a different way to play this game specifically. So... I don't think it's wrong. Just laughed at the concept 😂😅
@@francinereinke That’s what I’m saying. The game is a time-based game and sometimes people just don’t wanna wait and that’s OK because it affects nobody but yourself.
I think it should only be considered cheating if people are negatively affected by the situation. Time traveling isn’t cheating, non malicious modded islands aren’t cheating, so on and so forth
The info around some of the building stuff at 24 minutes in is actually incorrect. This a lot of the time is just heavily layered items and the angle. (especially the image at 24:06) Every single item in that image is an actual item you can get and customise in game with patterns or alt versions.
"Gaming is supposed to be about having fun. No matter how you game." If it's not upsetting other people's gaming time, then go for it and enjoy the game in your own way. Sometimes somethings are too hard for the amount of time you have for gaming, so a quick way to get through is needed.
3:37 I don't mean to be an "Umm, actually" guy, but fun fact, Wario's Woods is on the NES as well as the SNES and was the last officially-licensed game released on the console. I wonder if that's one of the codes in Animal Crossing to get the playable ROM of that game that you wrote down & forgot about until now.
20:42 That's an 1000 level ban on the scale of 0 to 1000. I really hope none of you have to experience that ban type. That is a console ban, basically you cannot access nintendo services from that console anymore with that. That also means you lost access to digital games and your console resale value is now trashed.
21:34 because of this, there are now groups that give out free Raymonds (and other villagers when requested) that put those scams to shame. Honestly, I love when people use their hacks to help people instead.
That’s how I got my Raymond pretty much immediately after his release for free! I will forever be grateful. He’s still my fav villager, right up there with Apollo!
0:43 not to be that person, but they kinda of *were* something you could make up and input, that's why we know so many codes now when only 15 were released officially (plus codes generated when you wanted to gift an item to a friend). it wasn't really like you could just put whatever, but people found out how to reverse engineer codes because nintendo used a shockingly small amount of possible numbers to generate them (RSA algorithm i believe; supposed to be difficult to crack once encoded, but not if there's only *FOUR* prime numbers for the game to choose from).
you missed something! some people would have islands so far hacked, they became what's called "treasure islands". I was once in a server full of them, where you could just go in and collect literally any item from the game, including fish and bugs (that would be sitting in bags/cages on the ground, something not normally possible) and if what you wanted wasn't there or wasn't enough of it, you could send a command to a bot that would make the host character drop it. you could also inject an animal you wanted that'd automatically be in boxes ready to be invited to your island. this was how I got the massive amount of moss I needed for my island, as well as regular items I didn't want to have to order and wait, so I could just design what I wanted for my rooms without all the real time trial and error. sadly it just suddenly shut down without notice to anyone, but I know many are still around.
You could also get unlimited bells when going to some of these islands, all you needed was a turnip. Some of the islands would have negative turnip prices, and once you sold your turnip you'd get 999 999 999 bells in your bank. Something else that I noticed was that some items had glitched collisions, you could go through them as the game thought they were 1x1 furniture when they could've been 2x2 or wider.
Lemme stop you right there: I still remember the 30,000 bell code off the top of my head. WB28pARAcnownU jMCK%hTk8JHyrT I'm almost positive that's right.
The only thing I hate were the social aspect of Animal Crossing became mafia like when you tried to look for communities when you dont have friends interested in it. Now those folks were very scary as they started high school drama if they didnt like you for just existing and just spread false rumors with no evidence. One of the most evil fandoms ever.
sorry not sorry but Idgaf about time traveling. I'm not waiting a whole day for something as simple as moving a house or shop on my island to a better location. I would have to wait WEEKS just to fully decorate and rearrange my island. One building a day. No thank you.
literally! and what if something important came up and you weren’t able to play the game, and because of that you missed an event? some people wouldn’t want to wait for one more year to enjoy that event
Right, I tried to limit TT to a minimum during my first runthrough, but with the subsequnt islands I just want to get to the decorating bit!! I've earnt the faster gameplay now! 😄
I find it hilarious that in a video directly after taking about codes for Animal Crossing on the GCN, you didn't recognize the Animal Crossing code to get Wario's Woods in that game as a playable NES furniture. 😆
And even if it is competitive, have different sets like how some games do speed runs. Then have certain actions trigger something in the game files that you can use to prove whether or not you did something
I remember a hack on wild world called seeding, where through a wifi connection, people would basically plant buildings in other people's towns, potentially corrupting their towns. Some of my friends were victims of this, it was wild.
I remember using an action reply on animal crossing on gamecube. my step sister and i would watch my step brother use it and we would be just laughing at the crazy shit that was happening. I think the funniest one to us was the one where you grow extremly massive. it was also cool to walk to the island
I definitely do not consider time travel cheating, do they really expect us to wait 10 days to move all our villagers? Or if the shop is in the wrong position for a build we want to do we just have to wait?
I remember someone showing off and bragging to me on new horizons they bought, with real money a bunch of the hacked star trees and the next day a patch came out and fixed it and I just thought of her right away 😂
As someone who used to time travel like a LOT I never understand why ppl were mad at me for it. It doesn’t affect them in any way?? Anyways now I only time travel when it’s necessary
A lot of people have irl work, and other events that prevent them from seeing events and getting decor they really wanted. Or they can only play the game at a certaim time, so they set it back to get a different time of day to get a scenery change and to get certain bugs, fish etc And also, people just like getting stuff fast without having to wait @@femto246
Great video. City Folk was my first game, but New Leaf was always my favorite. As a kid I was always jealous of hacked towns and wished I knew how to do it. Now, in my 20s, and now that my brain is a bit less smooth I can do it myself and I fulfill those childhood dreams haha ^^ it’s a fun creative outlet, and hacking a game like animal crossing really does nothing. It’s so much different than hacking something like an online FPS or MMO. Play how you want! Mods keep games alive 👀
3:08 yeah...because the 90s-2000s are the last generation of people with common sense and not so easily offended by every little thing. So seeing Fox McCloud holding his gun on a kid's folder wasn't a big deal for us
My brother and I had the same save file for Wild World, because we had to share the game until he got his own and we copied the save. One time we were playing together as the same character and we noticed that we could dupe items by leaving them on the hosts wardrove, then the guest (that was the same character) could just get the items and they would get duped. Very obscure glitch, I haven't seem it replicated because of the weird conditions it needs.
I look forward to your Animal Crossing videos because I'm happily awaiting my first modded 3Ds so your videos on New Leaf have helped me a lot with getting to know the game before physically playing it
Honestly, is there really such thing as cheating in Animal Crossing? It's is very much a sandbox game now, so even things like utilizing cfw to modify their towns/islands would just be their way of playing the game. People like to say it's not fair to "legit" players, but honestly, if people have fun playing that way, and as long as they aren't using it maliciously (like the scandal of modders bricking innocent peoples copies of WW) there shouldn't be a problem. People who want to use external tools can use external tools, if they don't want to and want to play legitimately, that's fine too. Especially since the game is single player mostly right now unless you actively go online. The thing I would consider cheating is when people sell bells, villagers, and nmt for real money on ebay. That crosses a whole other moral line. Love your content, keep it up :)))
I don’t usually like saying this, but if people actually have an issue with cheating in a life sim game, they need to touch grass. Like it isn’t that serious.
22:00 this was during early covid! it was very interesting being in discord servers with a bunch of ppl who were all either fired or working from home, and none of us had anything better to do so we'd chat and vibe until it was our turn to go in! it was actually kinda wholesome and pretty chill. i love how the game had such a community heavy side to it at the start since it was released during peak covid. if you only bought the game in 2022, you missed a good chunk of the post-release dopamine...... nookazon was wild, but it was also very useful and fun!
I honestly don't see how time traveling is cheating or harmful to anyone else but yourself. This is coming from someone who time traveled alot in new leaf and refuses to time travel in new horizons.
@jordanekl5383 I couldn't find anything about it causing issues in mutliplayer other than some mild glitching, since it doesnt affect the other player's time. If the person visiting doesnt want to gain from time travel, they dont have to partake in seasonal differences and events going on. That would cut down on the glitches I could find mentioned. I don't consider it cheating since the developers don't
@@jordanekl5383 what does online gameplay have to do with anything? especially nowadays, I don't think there's a single timed event that hasn't already passed
@@jordanekl5383big flipping deal! It’s not competitive, it’s not an MMO, and you choose to let people come to YOUR island. Somebody who wants to time travel with their friends or build faster and show it off literally changes nothing about your life or your game. You are choosing to ruin the experience for yourself by being mad about someone else’s personal choice. If it was cheating, the developers would say “hey, that’s cheating” and ban people for it. But they don’t. Wonder why.
i remember the code for, i think one of the trophies was worth more then the 30k bell code. I also remember time travelling having to skip through so much resetti dialogue so I could do more then just 3 trophies in one day :P
I did the 30,000 bell code so much as a kid if I ever play again it usually comes back to me after typing it in once or twice. Like riding a bike baby 🎉
I usually don’t let myself time travel when I have a new animal crossing but when it gets to a certain point I’ll time travel, I only have a limited amount of time
I was definitely against the star fragment trees. Seeding was horrible in ACWW with people dropping buildings and rocks in other people's towns permanently ruining their save file. Youd have someone over and they'd drop a rock outside the players house and that would block them from being able to play completely. Forcing them to delete and start over. Then when the star tree incident happened it was a slippery slope that could of easily restarted the malicious seeding issue.
Writing on our old collectibles is such a vibe 🖤 I think we all did that as kids, didn't want anyone else to own it! That's for sure! 😂 I'm glad you showed us that little part of your childhood, so precious 💞
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about treasure islands. I still can’t figure out exactly how they work? Specially people who “run” like 20 at a time with different items
so i use them myself. while my last island was almost entirely just me ordering the items from the catalog, crafting, or trading with others, it got to a point where i just wanted to complete my island lol. i started going to treasure islands to grab what i needed. you just enter the invite code, fly to the island, & pick up any items you want for your island. the reason there are multiples is because there are so many items in the game, one island wont be able to carry all of them. treasure islands will usually have the colorway of each item, so that takes up a ton of space. they also will have villagers in boxes you can invite to your island. i personally like them because theyre useful for those of us that like to make super intricate involved islands (as far as getting all the needed items) that would otherwise take an extremely long time to complete. it took me 3 years to complete my first island but probably would have taken longer if id kept crafting/ordering/trading the items that i needed. i try to not use treasure islands all the time.. but when you need like 700+ rocks to craft a ton of the ruins items. yeah lol
I think it's important to mention that the Nook codes did have legitimate intentions, as it was a pre-internet-on-console way to transmit items long-distance, as well as distribute contest prizes.
I was like 8 years old when someone went into my town and gave millions of bells... I didn't know it was a hacker but also because of them, I could afford to pay off my house and fully upgrade town square!! I could never be mad at that
My line with cheating is that, if it impacts another player's gameplay, that's where it should end. On the "mostly harmless" end of that scale, you've got the "I'm giving my little brother infinite Bells so he can do whatever he wants," which isn't bad, but falls into the territory of "well, what's the difference mechanically between doing that and duping bells for IRL money on eBay?" So that puts Nintendo into the position of needing to patch it to undercut that market. Selling in-game stuff for real $ is on the edge of what I'm willing to accept. Modding things in for profit should be a definite "no." On the flipside of that, though, you've got Nintendo patching things out (like being able to add posters to your catalogue just by picking them up) simply so they can line their OWN pockets with Amiibo stuff, which is...also really bad. I hate that side of Nintendo, and I think that's why they crack down on cheating so much lately. It's in the same realm as why they shut down people who host ROMs or make RUclips videos with modded Switch gameplay, because they want a total stranglehold on HOW their games are played so they can sell the newest, in-studio alteration without having to bother with outside competition. But yeah. Single-player modding? Should be allowed. If I wanna play as Lillie from Pokémon Moon in Scarlet, I should be able to. If I want to randomize Echoes of Wisdom, I should be allowed to. If I want to make a 4-layer-cliff quarry in Animal Crossing where all my rocks generate and set up construction vehicles around it to look like I'm excavating, that should also be fair game. I BOUGHT the game, I can play with my little digital dolls however I want, and I should be allowed to show other people my digital dollhouse. And because Nintendo is so short-sighted in the profit department (kill the mods or we won't make our Amiibonus this quarter), I don't think they realize how much modding lengthens the lifespan of a game. I mean, look at Skyrim. Look at Minecraft. Those came out in 2011, and they're STILL popular to this day, because people love the worlds they are and what's possible with modding tools, and make their own content when they run out of what the studio first served them. Anyways. That's my two cents.
also yes, during the 90s-2000s cheat codes were very common and just a fun way to mess around with your games a little. I miss when video games were less strict as a buisness. Cheat codes don't even exist anymore
i was like 5 or 6 when we got a gamecube and animal crossing for it. i remember my dad discovering the cheat codes online and printing a bunch out for me. i thought it was SO COOL to just get neat items i wanted. i don't think i even knew about the free bells one, i was too busy being like "oooh i can get a free hamster cage" lol. the whole feature was actually very interesting, cuz in the game it was meant to be a way to send someone items in another town... which is still confusing to me over 20 years later seeing as this was a game without internet connectivity. but the catch was, you told tom nook the name of the person and their town, then gave him the item and the other person could get it...... but if you were 6 years old and bad at spelling it could just disappear into the void forever cuz i guess however the code got... coded... was with the exact spelling you entered in mind. these cheat codes though, could work regardless of your player or town name. iirc some of them were released in nintendo power magazine, so it was supposed to be this special thing for subscribers, but obviously they then made their way onto the internet. some of them may have been straight up found in the game code or something tho cuz i doubt they would have released codes for every single item in the magazine.
Another way to "cheat" in animal crossing nee horizons is using a peripheral called the Switchup, it has functions that auto-detect fish biting your rod and automatically hits the button to reel them in, among other things
in wild world, there was a huge problem with people bricking others games. if you invited someone over that you didnt really know, & they just wanted to mess with you, they would place item/building seeds in your town that would block you from entering buildings. or they would place so many item/building seeds that your game would crash. you would just have to start over because there was no way to remove these seeds. boy am i glad thats not an issue anymore. im also lucky that never happened to me. ive used cheats before myself, but never for any nefarious reasons. i had homebrew on the wii & hacked city folk. i made a cat villager that looked like my cat, & i made an "island" surrounded by the river with bridges at either side & placed my favorite villagers on that island. i didnt do much, just wanted my town to be more customized. i didnt even remove the grass degradation because i had been so careful to create pathing with it so didnt need to fix it lol. also, those "buildings" shown towards the end arent hacked at all. theyre just using furniture items you can get in acnh.. unless theres something else im missing & people were actually injecting new buildings in the game? but making fake buildings with furniture items isnt a cheat or anything, ive done it in acnh a lot. the flat panels are customizable so you can put user-created patterns on them that looks like the side of buildings, windows, doors, open signs, etc. some items like the display shelf you can flip around to make it look like a building. the castle walls they released in the last big update patch were a godsend lol.. those made it a lot easier to create fake buildings. i used so many of those on my last island.
For wild world you neglected to mention the people who would connect to other people's towns and mod in "building seeds" to place hacked buildings every where. This would basically permanently ruin your town
I had the 30,000 bells code memorized when I was a kid and I would see how fast I could do it 😂 I remember hearing the "WB2 *click* p ARA" omg the weird little sounds are so cathartic ❤❤❤
The thing I dislike is the people who time travel but hide that they do it and show off their island like they've put the actually time and work into it
Are you sure that code wasn't to get the Wario's Woods game in Animal Crossing? As I think it was one you could get and I actually still have my folder full of cheats for the Gamecube,lol
I remember duplicating the crown in new horizons by mailing the crowns to myself and i made millions of bells for me and a friend, never bought or sold anything online though, i even created the wall to get balloons for items and time traveling but stopped playing the game before the dlc dropped. Cheating in online games is bad when its competitive but single player cheats are always fun, i mean i used to run resident evil games with the unlockable cheats after beating the game so many time. I also used to counter cheat in The Forest online because people could use cheats to just kill everyone in an online game or teleport people or they would fly around with dynomite and blow up peoples buildings and such, i would use cheats to revive or block other cheaters from doing stuff or i would kick them from peoples games while also kind of helping people at times with added in items like food, nothing big just small stuff. I still do it every now and again in 7 days to die pve servers. idk its fun to help people in small ways to make their experience better i like making people happy and fighting off toxic people.
Wario Woods was an NES game that was later made for the SNES because it didn't sell very well. Also There is software that allows you to use the blank NES system in ACGC. It allows you to take NES games and convert them to animal crossing data. It is compatible with almost every NES game.
I kind of get why Nintendo cracked down on the cheating/modding of the game. Seeing how some adults can't seem to keep things PG, when there's a chance that a kid could see it. And to prevent accidental things from getting in, you have to have a full on block to it.
4:01 I’m sure this has been commented but I have no doubt that’s the code to redeem wario’s woods from Tom nook on the game cube animal crossing. It’s town and name specific so it won’t work unless you knew how to generate a code for your town specifically.
I played it officially when it first came out (ACNH) and once I did everything and caught everything, I restarted a whole new island and now time skip.
I feel like the younger you are, the more time traveling sounds like cheating, but if you're an adult that got 3 hours tops to play animal crossing................ you are a time God
3:50 in animal crossing GCN you can play Wario's Woods on the NES emulator items. This code likely gives the player that item in your town. (provided you entered information correctly on the website and got the correct code that matches the checksums for your village etc etc) It was a late-stage NES title so it made its way into the SNES as well.
I did use an Action Replay for Wild World growing up. It was enjoyable, but I do wonder what it would of been like without the cheats. I do have another copy I bought, but been too busy to play.
1:07 should clearify they are more like gift codes, often distrubuted at stores or events They are also not being put in by the developers them self, that explains why some may contain words or even slurs
I remember my cousin and I collecting villager photos in wild world and than duplicating those. So we both had them - same with rare items too. Almost like the described glitch for city folk just via local connection. So this is technically still possible. Guest leaves items in front of hosts gate on the ground and goes back home. Shortly before the end of the saving process guest turns off their ds (deals with resetti for not saving and has still all the items) meanwhile hosts game is saved correctly and they can collect all the items 😂
I just watched the Gaming recap from youtube and it says I am in the top 0,2% of viewers for this channel... I don't know how that happened but I definetly seem to like this channel
Ive been trying to figure out why my animal crossing house just..looks so good. Turns out it looks exactly like the house on the original first game. I did not play that game nore did i ever see that house before choosing my design or colors lmao
I know you already got comments about it but seeing you go on about the Wario Woods code, as someone who played the NES game through my copy of AC all the time as a teen i got really miffed and wanted to yell at my screen
Modding: adding aesthetics to a game, but the objects have no purpose/benefits to the player. Cheating: giving a player, or players, an advantage in the game
Can’t believe there was no mention of treasure islands , so many people view them as cheating , personally I don’t think you can realy cheat at a game that isn’t competitive
Time travel isn't cheating, it's called "I don't want to wait until tomorrow to play this game I spent $60 on". NH especially felt very limiting in what you could do in a single day since you need resources for EVERYTHING. Especially with iron early on.
I only take issI only take issue with cheating (or any modding) if it negatively affects other, non-consenting players. For example, giving yourself a huge advantage in a competitive game in an environment where people are not looking to play with somebody using cheats. If something solely affects you, or in any ways that it may affect others is entirely optional and is not deceiving, then I take no issue. I would consider time travelling cheating, as it gives you an in-game advantage using an exploit. However, I also don't see the issue with it. Do whatever you want to do with your game; it's your business and your business alone. I will occasionally partake in a little bit of time travelling.
The only way I play animal crossing is with time traveling and because I don't feel like grinding for everything because I just want to make a cool looking island in town
I had trident to get raymond by visiting islands for weeks but I think the villager types i already had prevented me from meeting him, so I eventually bought him off someone for nook tickets and luckily I wasn't scammed😅
i don’t think real cheating exists in ac. only different playing options. like i maxed my bells out on a treasure island so i can build and buy whatever i want. making money in the game is the one thing i hate doing. time traveling isn’t cheating. it’s a different way to play the game.
I’m okay with cheating in single player games (I don’t do it even if it’s part of the game because I like to play games correctly) but cheating in multiplayer games is wrong. Also, kind of related, if someone finds a glitch in a multiplayer game I’m fine if they use it as long as it’s not overpowered and it just gives them a slight advantage and not invincibility

Exactly 😭 idk why people get so mad at animal crossing 'cheating' it literally hurts no one
Yeah exactly the amount of times I have spent messing around with cheats in single players is high. Especially whenever I start to get bored of a game like Skyrim for example running around with the most broken weapons is really fun for a little bit.
cheat if its your game and no one can be effected. or mod your console when the server shut down so you can see enjoy the game you have and mess with it. its your console do what you want.

I guess jealousy hurts some people's feelings lol
An ex friend told me he thought the warp pipe was “overpowered”. Like, dude, it’s a game about catching bugs and picking fruit. It ain’t that deep.
With AC being a sandbox game, there isn’t really such thing as cheating in it.
And warp pipes are great not just for getting to another side of your island more easily, but it’s also a clever way of making a functional train/subway/bus system to fit your island’s theme. I did this when making a Wild West island and it had a functional train system.
In my opinion, time traveling will never be cheating. Some of us have jobs and can only play at night. I'm gonna change the time so I'm not always playing in the dark and the shops will actually be open.
Especially since it has be in the series since the start (minus the first game in Japan only where there was not a clock). Resetti only cares if you did not save, not if you changed the clock. I personally do not TT on my switch but I know others who do.
@faithhaight This game series is literally designed for people that dont have much time.
Time traveling takes up more of your time than if you were not doing it.
Almost every little thing is designed to progress slowly over time while you pluck away at it bit by bit. At the start of the game, you even have an option where you can set time so that you have daytime during your RL night.
You are just making weak excuses and shifting blame for your poor decision making skills.
It's not a bad thing in this case, the conversation is about abusing it. Not using it for the intended purpose.

Exactly, just using some simple panels
I just wanted to say the same thing! On my island I made a little castle out of those things, they always look very cute when someone makes them. 😊
yes! mostly all that were shown were made out of real in game items
OK FKN CHILL OUT AGREEING W EACH OTHER NO NEED TO SAY “EXACTLY” WE GET IT WE SEE THE COMMENT THANK YOU
I will never forget that star tree's are fake but still wish they where real :,
I wonder why they didn't make them legit items since everyone loved them
@laurieb3703 yea! There so beautiful and useful! Especially the moon and star decorations!
I mean…. Pocket Camp sort of had “Star trees,” but they’re not the same.
Playing a clip of Billy Mitchell at 8:00 when talking about cheating devices being around since the 90s is hilarious
I literally cackled! 🤣 Elijah better be careful lest he incur the wrath of Big Bitch Billy and get a C&D or other type of lawsuit for "spreading defamation" about the infamous "alleged" speedrunning cheater!
I was hoping someone commented the correlation!
I never cheated on animal crossing at all now I did come across people who were super helpful and would literally pay off my whole house for me. It happened alot of times and I was always grateful.
Isnt letting someone else who is cheating help you with the items that they got by cheating technically cheating yourself though? 😅
I don't think animal crossing cheating is cheating, really. Just a different way to play this game specifically. So... I don't think it's wrong. Just laughed at the concept 😂😅
@@francinereinke That’s what I’m saying. The game is a time-based game and sometimes people just don’t wanna wait and that’s OK because it affects nobody but yourself.
it’s kind of crazy how even a wholesome game like this has an entire fanbase of game breaking hacks
In general, most life sim games that involve a ton of decorating have communities specializing in hacks and mods.
I think it should only be considered cheating if people are negatively affected by the situation. Time traveling isn’t cheating, non malicious modded islands aren’t cheating, so on and so forth
This exactly
The info around some of the building stuff at 24 minutes in is actually incorrect. This a lot of the time is just heavily layered items and the angle. (especially the image at 24:06) Every single item in that image is an actual item you can get and customise in game with patterns or alt versions.
the trailer/2nd one appears to be some cheating but the others are just bunch of custom patterns and items
"Gaming is supposed to be about having fun. No matter how you game." If it's not upsetting other people's gaming time, then go for it and enjoy the game in your own way. Sometimes somethings are too hard for the amount of time you have for gaming, so a quick way to get through is needed.
3:37 I don't mean to be an "Umm, actually" guy, but fun fact, Wario's Woods is on the NES as well as the SNES and was the last officially-licensed game released on the console. I wonder if that's one of the codes in Animal Crossing to get the playable ROM of that game that you wrote down & forgot about until now.
You read my comment and went 42 minutes back in time to post it but better (joke)
OHH interesting!
Not to mention Nintendo tries to pretend the SNES version never existed because they only ever rerelease the NES version
This is what I thought!!!
That's what I was thinking as well - it probably gives you Wario's Woods from Tom Nook.
Elijah is a legend having printed 59 pages and living to talk about it.
20:42 That's an 1000 level ban on the scale of 0 to 1000. I really hope none of you have to experience that ban type. That is a console ban, basically you cannot access nintendo services from that console anymore with that. That also means you lost access to digital games and your console resale value is now trashed.
21:34 because of this, there are now groups that give out free Raymonds (and other villagers when requested) that put those scams to shame. Honestly, I love when people use their hacks to help people instead.
You can also create villagers by buying NFC cards that are really cheap and injecting them with your phone w whatever villager you want
That’s how I got my Raymond pretty much immediately after his release for free! I will forever be grateful. He’s still my fav villager, right up there with Apollo!
0:43 not to be that person, but they kinda of *were* something you could make up and input, that's why we know so many codes now when only 15 were released officially (plus codes generated when you wanted to gift an item to a friend). it wasn't really like you could just put whatever, but people found out how to reverse engineer codes because nintendo used a shockingly small amount of possible numbers to generate them (RSA algorithm i believe; supposed to be difficult to crack once encoded, but not if there's only *FOUR* prime numbers for the game to choose from).
you missed something! some people would have islands so far hacked, they became what's called "treasure islands". I was once in a server full of them, where you could just go in and collect literally any item from the game, including fish and bugs (that would be sitting in bags/cages on the ground, something not normally possible) and if what you wanted wasn't there or wasn't enough of it, you could send a command to a bot that would make the host character drop it. you could also inject an animal you wanted that'd automatically be in boxes ready to be invited to your island. this was how I got the massive amount of moss I needed for my island, as well as regular items I didn't want to have to order and wait, so I could just design what I wanted for my rooms without all the real time trial and error. sadly it just suddenly shut down without notice to anyone, but I know many are still around.
You could also get unlimited bells when going to some of these islands, all you needed was a turnip. Some of the islands would have negative turnip prices, and once you sold your turnip you'd get 999 999 999 bells in your bank.
Something else that I noticed was that some items had glitched collisions, you could go through them as the game thought they were 1x1 furniture when they could've been 2x2 or wider.
Lemme stop you right there: I still remember the 30,000 bell code off the top of my head.

I'm almost positive that's right.
time to spit this out to tom nook and see if he agrees that this is correct
doin gods work my man o7
i remember doing the new leaf duplication glitch with my brother and he would get mad at me when i messed up haha
The only thing I hate were the social aspect of Animal Crossing became mafia like when you tried to look for communities when you dont have friends interested in it. Now those folks were very scary as they started high school drama if they didnt like you for just existing and just spread false rumors with no evidence. One of the most evil fandoms ever.
sorry not sorry but Idgaf about time traveling. I'm not waiting a whole day for something as simple as moving a house or shop on my island to a better location. I would have to wait WEEKS just to fully decorate and rearrange my island. One building a day. No thank you.
literally! and what if something important came up and you weren’t able to play the game, and because of that you missed an event? some people wouldn’t want to wait for one more year to enjoy that event
I've literally had to time travel because of work. I'm not always available for every event in real time. Idk why that bothers people so much.
Right, I tried to limit TT to a minimum during my first runthrough, but with the subsequnt islands I just want to get to the decorating bit!! I've earnt the faster gameplay now! 😄
I find it hilarious that in a video directly after taking about codes for Animal Crossing on the GCN, you didn't recognize the Animal Crossing code to get Wario's Woods in that game as a playable NES furniture. 😆
it's not like it's competitive so why does it matter?
And even if it is competitive, have different sets like how some games do speed runs. Then have certain actions trigger something in the game files that you can use to prove whether or not you did something
I remember a hack on wild world called seeding, where through a wifi connection, people would basically plant buildings in other people's towns, potentially corrupting their towns. Some of my friends were victims of this, it was wild.
Hunter R.?
I remember using an action reply on animal crossing on gamecube. my step sister and i would watch my step brother use it and we would be just laughing at the crazy shit that was happening. I think the funniest one to us was the one where you grow extremly massive. it was also cool to walk to the island
I definitely do not consider time travel cheating, do they really expect us to wait 10 days to move all our villagers? Or if the shop is in the wrong position for a build we want to do we just have to wait?
I remember someone showing off and bragging to me on new horizons they bought, with real money a bunch of the hacked star trees and the next day a patch came out and fixed it and I just thought of her right away 😂
Little Elijah's voice was absolutely adorable, the confusion 😭
As someone who used to time travel like a LOT I never understand why ppl were mad at me for it. It doesn’t affect them in any way?? Anyways now I only time travel when it’s necessary
It doesn’t affect them, but they still want ass pats for playing the game without it, like who cares
@ fr 😂
when would it be necessary ? /gen
@ why??
A lot of people have irl work, and other events that prevent them from seeing events and getting decor they really wanted.
Or they can only play the game at a certaim time, so they set it back to get a different time of day to get a scenery change and to get certain bugs, fish etc
And also, people just like getting stuff fast without having to wait @@femto246
Great video. City Folk was my first game, but New Leaf was always my favorite. As a kid I was always jealous of hacked towns and wished I knew how to do it. Now, in my 20s, and now that my brain is a bit less smooth I can do it myself and I fulfill those childhood dreams haha ^^ it’s a fun creative outlet, and hacking a game like animal crossing really does nothing. It’s so much different than hacking something like an online FPS or MMO. Play how you want! Mods keep games alive 👀
Awesome you got a sponsor man, watched the whole bit.
Keep going with the animal crossing content!
3:08 yeah...because the 90s-2000s are the last generation of people with common sense and not so easily offended by every little thing. So seeing Fox McCloud holding his gun on a kid's folder wasn't a big deal for us
My brother and I had the same save file for Wild World, because we had to share the game until he got his own and we copied the save. One time we were playing together as the same character and we noticed that we could dupe items by leaving them on the hosts wardrove, then the guest (that was the same character) could just get the items and they would get duped. Very obscure glitch, I haven't seem it replicated because of the weird conditions it needs.
you can do the same thing in minecraft, dupe anything, even dragon egg
I look forward to your Animal Crossing videos because I'm happily awaiting my first modded 3Ds so your videos on New Leaf have helped me a lot with getting to know the game before physically playing it
I was definitely living an era enjoying city folk with homebrew as a younger and loved this video, hella good vid
3:38
Wario's Woods has a NES port and I think it's one of the NES games in animal crossing
And maybe that's the code for Tom Nook to give it to you
the NES version came first (I think)
@nicalaw they both released on the same day
Honestly, is there really such thing as cheating in Animal Crossing? It's is very much a sandbox game now, so even things like utilizing cfw to modify their towns/islands would just be their way of playing the game. People like to say it's not fair to "legit" players, but honestly, if people have fun playing that way, and as long as they aren't using it maliciously (like the scandal of modders bricking innocent peoples copies of WW) there shouldn't be a problem. People who want to use external tools can use external tools, if they don't want to and want to play legitimately, that's fine too. Especially since the game is single player mostly right now unless you actively go online. The thing I would consider cheating is when people sell bells, villagers, and nmt for real money on ebay. That crosses a whole other moral line.
Love your content, keep it up :)))
Not to mention, there are people out there who use "cheaty" methods to benefit other players; ever heard of Treasure Islands?
I don’t usually like saying this, but if people actually have an issue with cheating in a life sim game, they need to touch grass. Like it isn’t that serious.
22:00 this was during early covid! it was very interesting being in discord servers with a bunch of ppl who were all either fired or working from home, and none of us had anything better to do so we'd chat and vibe until it was our turn to go in! it was actually kinda wholesome and pretty chill. i love how the game had such a community heavy side to it at the start since it was released during peak covid. if you only bought the game in 2022, you missed a good chunk of the post-release dopamine...... nookazon was wild, but it was also very useful and fun!
I honestly don't see how time traveling is cheating or harmful to anyone else but yourself. This is coming from someone who time traveled alot in new leaf and refuses to time travel in new horizons.
Thrres one simple fact that's being overlooked.
Online Gameplay.
@jordanekl5383 I couldn't find anything about it causing issues in mutliplayer other than some mild glitching, since it doesnt affect the other player's time. If the person visiting doesnt want to gain from time travel, they dont have to partake in seasonal differences and events going on. That would cut down on the glitches I could find mentioned.
I don't consider it cheating since the developers don't
@@jordanekl5383
Still not cheating. Animal Crossing has no competitive aspect that would be affected by time travel. Ergo, it is not cheating.
@@jordanekl5383 what does online gameplay have to do with anything? especially nowadays, I don't think there's a single timed event that hasn't already passed
@@jordanekl5383big flipping deal! It’s not competitive, it’s not an MMO, and you choose to let people come to YOUR island. Somebody who wants to time travel with their friends or build faster and show it off literally changes nothing about your life or your game. You are choosing to ruin the experience for yourself by being mad about someone else’s personal choice. If it was cheating, the developers would say “hey, that’s cheating” and ban people for it. But they don’t. Wonder why.
i remember the code for, i think one of the trophies was worth more then the 30k bell code. I also remember time travelling having to skip through so much resetti dialogue so I could do more then just 3 trophies in one day :P
I did the 30,000 bell code so much as a kid if I ever play again it usually comes back to me after typing it in once or twice.
Like riding a bike baby 🎉
The tom nook codes weren't a very big secret, that's how they did distribution items.
I usually don’t let myself time travel when I have a new animal crossing but when it gets to a certain point I’ll time travel, I only have a limited amount of time
I was definitely against the star fragment trees. Seeding was horrible in ACWW with people dropping buildings and rocks in other people's towns permanently ruining their save file. Youd have someone over and they'd drop a rock outside the players house and that would block them from being able to play completely. Forcing them to delete and start over. Then when the star tree incident happened it was a slippery slope that could of easily restarted the malicious seeding issue.
oh im so bad i time traveled to finish my rock garden
Writing on our old collectibles is such a vibe 🖤 I think we all did that as kids, didn't want anyone else to own it! That's for sure! 😂 I'm glad you showed us that little part of your childhood, so precious 💞
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about treasure islands. I still can’t figure out exactly how they work? Specially people who “run” like 20 at a time with different items
so i use them myself. while my last island was almost entirely just me ordering the items from the catalog, crafting, or trading with others, it got to a point where i just wanted to complete my island lol. i started going to treasure islands to grab what i needed. you just enter the invite code, fly to the island, & pick up any items you want for your island. the reason there are multiples is because there are so many items in the game, one island wont be able to carry all of them. treasure islands will usually have the colorway of each item, so that takes up a ton of space. they also will have villagers in boxes you can invite to your island. i personally like them because theyre useful for those of us that like to make super intricate involved islands (as far as getting all the needed items) that would otherwise take an extremely long time to complete. it took me 3 years to complete my first island but probably would have taken longer if id kept crafting/ordering/trading the items that i needed. i try to not use treasure islands all the time.. but when you need like 700+ rocks to craft a ton of the ruins items. yeah lol
I think it's important to mention that the Nook codes did have legitimate intentions, as it was a pre-internet-on-console way to transmit items long-distance, as well as distribute contest prizes.
I was like 8 years old when someone went into my town and gave millions of bells... I didn't know it was a hacker but also because of them, I could afford to pay off my house and fully upgrade town square!! I could never be mad at that
3:58 The cheat code was 100% for unlocking the game in Animal Crossing using Tom Nook’s codes
My line with cheating is that, if it impacts another player's gameplay, that's where it should end. On the "mostly harmless" end of that scale, you've got the "I'm giving my little brother infinite Bells so he can do whatever he wants," which isn't bad, but falls into the territory of "well, what's the difference mechanically between doing that and duping bells for IRL money on eBay?" So that puts Nintendo into the position of needing to patch it to undercut that market.
Selling in-game stuff for real $ is on the edge of what I'm willing to accept. Modding things in for profit should be a definite "no."
On the flipside of that, though, you've got Nintendo patching things out (like being able to add posters to your catalogue just by picking them up) simply so they can line their OWN pockets with Amiibo stuff, which is...also really bad. I hate that side of Nintendo, and I think that's why they crack down on cheating so much lately. It's in the same realm as why they shut down people who host ROMs or make RUclips videos with modded Switch gameplay, because they want a total stranglehold on HOW their games are played so they can sell the newest, in-studio alteration without having to bother with outside competition.
But yeah. Single-player modding? Should be allowed. If I wanna play as Lillie from Pokémon Moon in Scarlet, I should be able to. If I want to randomize Echoes of Wisdom, I should be allowed to. If I want to make a 4-layer-cliff quarry in Animal Crossing where all my rocks generate and set up construction vehicles around it to look like I'm excavating, that should also be fair game. I BOUGHT the game, I can play with my little digital dolls however I want, and I should be allowed to show other people my digital dollhouse. And because Nintendo is so short-sighted in the profit department (kill the mods or we won't make our Amiibonus this quarter), I don't think they realize how much modding lengthens the lifespan of a game. I mean, look at Skyrim. Look at Minecraft. Those came out in 2011, and they're STILL popular to this day, because people love the worlds they are and what's possible with modding tools, and make their own content when they run out of what the studio first served them.
Anyways. That's my two cents.
also yes, during the 90s-2000s cheat codes were very common and just a fun way to mess around with your games a little. I miss when video games were less strict as a buisness. Cheat codes don't even exist anymore
i was like 5 or 6 when we got a gamecube and animal crossing for it. i remember my dad discovering the cheat codes online and printing a bunch out for me. i thought it was SO COOL to just get neat items i wanted. i don't think i even knew about the free bells one, i was too busy being like "oooh i can get a free hamster cage" lol.
the whole feature was actually very interesting, cuz in the game it was meant to be a way to send someone items in another town... which is still confusing to me over 20 years later seeing as this was a game without internet connectivity. but the catch was, you told tom nook the name of the person and their town, then gave him the item and the other person could get it...... but if you were 6 years old and bad at spelling it could just disappear into the void forever cuz i guess however the code got... coded... was with the exact spelling you entered in mind. these cheat codes though, could work regardless of your player or town name. iirc some of them were released in nintendo power magazine, so it was supposed to be this special thing for subscribers, but obviously they then made their way onto the internet. some of them may have been straight up found in the game code or something tho cuz i doubt they would have released codes for every single item in the magazine.
Another way to "cheat" in animal crossing nee horizons is using a peripheral called the Switchup, it has functions that auto-detect fish biting your rod and automatically hits the button to reel them in, among other things
in wild world, there was a huge problem with people bricking others games. if you invited someone over that you didnt really know, & they just wanted to mess with you, they would place item/building seeds in your town that would block you from entering buildings. or they would place so many item/building seeds that your game would crash. you would just have to start over because there was no way to remove these seeds. boy am i glad thats not an issue anymore. im also lucky that never happened to me.
ive used cheats before myself, but never for any nefarious reasons. i had homebrew on the wii & hacked city folk. i made a cat villager that looked like my cat, & i made an "island" surrounded by the river with bridges at either side & placed my favorite villagers on that island. i didnt do much, just wanted my town to be more customized. i didnt even remove the grass degradation because i had been so careful to create pathing with it so didnt need to fix it lol.
also, those "buildings" shown towards the end arent hacked at all. theyre just using furniture items you can get in acnh.. unless theres something else im missing & people were actually injecting new buildings in the game? but making fake buildings with furniture items isnt a cheat or anything, ive done it in acnh a lot. the flat panels are customizable so you can put user-created patterns on them that looks like the side of buildings, windows, doors, open signs, etc. some items like the display shelf you can flip around to make it look like a building. the castle walls they released in the last big update patch were a godsend lol.. those made it a lot easier to create fake buildings. i used so many of those on my last island.
For wild world you neglected to mention the people who would connect to other people's towns and mod in "building seeds" to place hacked buildings every where. This would basically permanently ruin your town
I play new leaf and on
My bday one of my
Vilger gave me the goldin
Thrown worth 1000million bells
Inception for two of my favourite technical Animal Crossing RUclipsrs!
I had the 30,000 bells code memorized when I was a kid and I would see how fast I could do it 😂
I remember hearing the "WB2 *click* p ARA" omg the weird little sounds are so cathartic ❤❤❤
The thing I dislike is the people who time travel but hide that they do it and show off their island like they've put the actually time and work into it
Man that folder and its contents absolutely resonate with me.
Are you sure that code wasn't to get the Wario's Woods game in Animal Crossing? As I think it was one you could get and I actually still have my folder full of cheats for the Gamecube,lol
I remember duplicating the crown in new horizons by mailing the crowns to myself and i made millions of bells for me and a friend, never bought or sold anything online though, i even created the wall to get balloons for items and time traveling but stopped playing the game before the dlc dropped. Cheating in online games is bad when its competitive but single player cheats are always fun, i mean i used to run resident evil games with the unlockable cheats after beating the game so many time. I also used to counter cheat in The Forest online because people could use cheats to just kill everyone in an online game or teleport people or they would fly around with dynomite and blow up peoples buildings and such, i would use cheats to revive or block other cheaters from doing stuff or i would kick them from peoples games while also kind of helping people at times with added in items like food, nothing big just small stuff. I still do it every now and again in 7 days to die pve servers. idk its fun to help people in small ways to make their experience better i like making people happy and fighting off toxic people.
I paid off some of my loans in Wild world due to duplication glitch! In New horizons i just use the river glitch and climbing on the museum.
Wario Woods was an NES game that was later made for the SNES because it didn't sell very well.
Also There is software that allows you to use the blank NES system in ACGC. It allows you to take NES games and convert them to animal crossing data. It is compatible with almost every NES game.
I kind of get why Nintendo cracked down on the cheating/modding of the game. Seeing how some adults can't seem to keep things PG, when there's a chance that a kid could see it. And to prevent accidental things from getting in, you have to have a full on block to it.
4:01 I’m sure this has been commented but I have no doubt that’s the code to redeem wario’s woods from Tom nook on the game cube animal crossing. It’s town and name specific so it won’t work unless you knew how to generate a code for your town specifically.
I think niche and weird glitchy stuff in games is so entertaining lol
I played it officially when it first came out (ACNH) and once I did everything and caught everything, I restarted a whole new island and now time skip.
I feel like the younger you are, the more time traveling sounds like cheating, but if you're an adult that got 3 hours tops to play animal crossing................ you are a time God
3:50 in animal crossing GCN you can play Wario's Woods on the NES emulator items. This code likely gives the player that item in your town. (provided you entered information correctly on the website and got the correct code that matches the checksums for your village etc etc)
It was a late-stage NES title so it made its way into the SNES as well.
I did use an Action Replay for Wild World growing up. It was enjoyable, but I do wonder what it would of been like without the cheats. I do have another copy I bought, but been too busy to play.
1:07 should clearify they are more like gift codes, often distrubuted at stores or events
They are also not being put in by the developers them self, that explains why some may contain words or even slurs
I remember my cousin and I collecting villager photos in wild world and than duplicating those. So we both had them - same with rare items too. Almost like the described glitch for city folk just via local connection. So this is technically still possible. Guest leaves items in front of hosts gate on the ground and goes back home. Shortly before the end of the saving process guest turns off their ds (deals with resetti for not saving and has still all the items) meanwhile hosts game is saved correctly and they can collect all the items 😂
I just watched the Gaming recap from youtube and it says I am in the top 0,2% of viewers for this channel... I don't know how that happened but I definetly seem to like this channel
I had everything except the bag worm, I would shake every tree every day in fall and it would never appear
Ive been trying to figure out why my animal crossing house just..looks so good. Turns out it looks exactly like the house on the original first game. I did not play that game nore did i ever see that house before choosing my design or colors lmao
Didn't know mans had a animal crossing channel.
OMG I was almost 30 when you were saving these cheat codes. I'm so old...
thats def the code to get wario woods as a playable NES item on gamecube animal crossing
I know you already got comments about it but seeing you go on about the Wario Woods code, as someone who played the NES game through my copy of AC all the time as a teen i got really miffed and wanted to yell at my screen
Wake up besties Rocket Elijah posted!!!
That Wario Woods code is probably also for Animal Crossing tbh
Wario Woods was actually on the original NES first, so maybe those cheats are from that one
"Oh whoops well thats all for today i guess" thank you thats the funniest video i have ever seen
Went to bed seeing that ELIJAH HAS POSTED 🎉 woke up to this yessss
My dad used to have some Star Fragment trees on the OG switch island back then before they patched it... :(
Wario woods is one of the playable nes games in the original animal crossing the code might be one of the cheat codes to get it
Congrats on your sponsor :)
Modding: adding aesthetics to a game, but the objects have no purpose/benefits to the player.
Cheating: giving a player, or players, an advantage in the game
Can’t believe there was no mention of treasure islands , so many people view them as cheating , personally I don’t think you can realy cheat at a game that isn’t competitive
Time travel isn't cheating, it's called "I don't want to wait until tomorrow to play this game I spent $60 on". NH especially felt very limiting in what you could do in a single day since you need resources for EVERYTHING. Especially with iron early on.
I only take issI only take issue with cheating (or any modding) if it negatively affects other, non-consenting players. For example, giving yourself a huge advantage in a competitive game in an environment where people are not looking to play with somebody using cheats. If something solely affects you, or in any ways that it may affect others is entirely optional and is not deceiving, then I take no issue.
I would consider time travelling cheating, as it gives you an in-game advantage using an exploit. However, I also don't see the issue with it. Do whatever you want to do with your game; it's your business and your business alone. I will occasionally partake in a little bit of time travelling.
The only way I play animal crossing is with time traveling and because I don't feel like grinding for everything because I just want to make a cool looking island in town
I had trident to get raymond by visiting islands for weeks but I think the villager types i already had prevented me from meeting him, so I eventually bought him off someone for nook tickets and luckily I wasn't scammed😅
i don’t think real cheating exists in ac. only different playing options. like i maxed my bells out on a treasure island so i can build and buy whatever i want. making money in the game is the one thing i hate doing. time traveling isn’t cheating. it’s a different way to play the game.
I’m okay with cheating in single player games (I don’t do it even if it’s part of the game because I like to play games correctly) but cheating in multiplayer games is wrong. Also, kind of related, if someone finds a glitch in a multiplayer game I’m fine if they use it as long as it’s not overpowered and it just gives them a slight advantage and not invincibility
