Topic: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

@bimmy-lee Ah...that's too bad then. That's good you're saving those gold nuggets, at least. Those gold DIYs are insanely rare, I only saw one gold balloon throughout my entire play time. I think there's two of them that you could get by fulfilling certain conditions, one of which being the golden shovel I mentioned earlier. That'd be cool to make those, I've made a golden lucky cat myself.

Yep, the game throws so much duplicate DIYs at you the longer you play. It's pretty much expected at this point, which is why it feels good to get a new one. It really is a rewarding feeling, I'm pretty happy with how my island and house turned out, though I was thinking of changing them up a bit. I love getting new stuff to donate to the museum too, I still have yet to fully complete it! I got to donate a new fish after going to a fall Kapp'n island.

@roy130390 - I’m headed over to the Turtles thread after this to reply to you.

@Anti-Matter - Yeah, I need to see how many I have. I guess what I meant by a “bunch” of gold is that I’ve never used any of what I’ve collected. How many nuggets does it take to make a golden tool? I’ll trade you for a peach. Two years playing and I still don’t have peaches.

@MarioLover92 - I just love those mystery islands chartered by the good Kapp’n. He’s my favorite character. I love his songs and his outlook on life. I like crypto creatures and monsters of lore, and Kappas are a really cool, weird entry in that category. I’ve found his smaller islands to be much more bountiful than the mystery islands, and don’t even get me started on Gyroids; my son and I are kinda obsessed with them. They’re so funny. The museum has been a huge focus for us since day one. We have the fossils complete, but we still need more bugs and fish, and Redd barely visits; so we still need to buy a LOT of art. I don’t even mind when they’re fake because I like to put them in my house.

I change up the main room of the house seasonally. I like to surprise my kids with it. I love setting it up for Christmas, just like our actual house, haha. Right now it’s a disaster, but my last theme was Super Bowl party. I’m going to set up something temporary until Easter next month.

With our fossil exhibit complete, I’ve been setting up dinosaur exhibits around the island. It’s pretty cool to see them in the distance because some of them are so big. Do you do the fish and bug models? We’re really into that as well. I’ve had two great whites and two whale sharks in storage since the end of last shark season, just need one more of each to get a couple really cool models. I can’t wait til they’re back.

@bimmy-lee
I have all the fruits on my orchard.
I will open my gate so you can visit my island.
My island name is SuperNOVA.

@bimmy-lee
Btw, what is your Switch username ?

I think you might enjoy this, guys:

To clarify, it's not self promotion haha, just some modded villagers that I found based on the new starters. Sorry if it breaks any rule!

@bimmy-lee Just so you know, peaches are my native fruit on my island! I can help out with those, though I don't think we're Switch friends yet. I could tell you my friend code, but I would have to edit that out after you add me so I don't get any random invites.

Ah yeah, I like the Kapp'n islands more than the ones you'd get from Nook Miles tickets. I like collecting the gyroids as well! I have every fossil and sea creature donated, while I still have some more fish, bugs, and art to get. I think I have only two art pieces to get, I'll be real happy when I get those remaining two. Especially since I like art in general!

That's cool you're into the bug and fish models, I've been getting those on occasion, though not nearly as much. I don't have fossils displayed on my island besides inside the museum, but I do have an amusement park and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I always liked amusement parks, that's why I was happy to get those rides after last year's update.

@MarioLover92 - The amusement park sounds awesome, I haven’t started with those items yet, but we’re definitely going to get them. I used to go to Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH all the time. Love coasters, but I haven’t been in a while now. That was the first place I saw the Street Fighter II cabinet. I know we’re not Switch friends yet because I don’t have very many, just a few folks from NL. I’ll get my friend code in a bit and tag you with it under some random, old article, and then delete after we’re friends.

@bimmy-lee I punched in your friend code and I sent you a request. Thanks a lot!

That's awesome. Though there aren't any coasters in the game - I had a friend of mine tell me that there should be a roller coaster after I posted screenshots of my island's park. I don't recall seeing a SFII cabinet in real life, just played it on consoles like the SNES. Though to be honest, I'm not very good at it and many other fighting games, lol. The only one I'm reasonably competent at is Smash Bros.

@MarioLover92 - Thank you! Glad to be Switch friends. Please let me know an item or two you’ve been searching or hoping for, and I’ll gladly trade it for a peach when we get a chance if I have it. I finally caught a spare coelacanth last night! Two more and we’ll have a cool model. I also received a ladybug model and it’s really cool. Its shell is open with wings spread. I’m pretty miserable at fighting games. I got used to bmups first and I’m just wide open offense. Someone’s getting beat within 30 seconds. Usually me.

@bimmy-lee
What is your username on Switch currently ?
I couldn't find from Friend List.
Have you send your FC to me?

@Anti-Matter - No, I haven’t. Gotta be honest, I’m pretty put off that you deleted me from your friend list, and now want to be friends again to get some gold ore, and then you’ll probably delete me again in the future when you snoop around my profile and see I’m playing games you disagree with. I’m not going out of my way to get back on your list.

@bimmy-lee
Oooh.... I'm so sorry.
I think i knew when Thanosrexxx was still here and have some conversation with you, you have different idea about me now. I'm really sorry if i disappointed you.

@bimmy-lee Yeah you're welcome! The few things I could think of that I'd really love are the two remaining artworks I need. (Wild painting right half, tremendous statue) If you don't have any spares that happen to be real, that's ok. I'll still be happy with getting you a peach or two. That's awesome - I got a ladybug model as well, mainly because I like ladybugs in general. lol

@MarioLover92 - You need a legit right half of the wild painting for the museum, or just something for your personal collection? I have a forged right half and it’s all yours if that’s what you’re looking for.

@bimmy-lee
Um....
Do you still upset with me ? 😥
At least we can have some chit chat here if you don't want to play with me.

@MarioLover92
Hi, I have sent wild painting right half for you. Check your mail box.

@bimmy-lee I was looking for the real ones for my museum, but thank you anyway. I have a fake one displayed on my island. Anti went ahead and sent the real one to me.

@Anti-Matter Thanks a lot for sending the painting to me! I just need one more art piece to go now.

@MarioLover92
You're welcome. 😀
I will try to get the genuine Tremendous statue by any chance.

@Anti-Matter Ok sweet - when I get it I'll be sure to post an update to this thread!

Woohoo! After all this time, I finally got my island up to a 5-star rating and got the gold watering can. Now I just need to wait a couple of days or however long it will take to get at least one lily-of-the-valley to show up and I can go around and pick up all this furniture that is now in the way of everything and cluttering up the island. What a horrible requirement to get five stars.
