Topic: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Who else agrees that the next game in the series needs to have an easier way to get the paintings and statues? In this one, you either have to wait for Redd to randomly set up shop on your island every now and then with a small selection of art (and it’s possible for all of them to be fake), or you’ll have to donate 100,000 bells to help him set up a shop on Harv’s island, where he’ll have a selection of two pieces of art, and the selection only changes every Monday, unless you buy a piece, after which Redd will replace the item with another one the next day. But most of the time (at least for me), both pieces are fake. So you either have to wait till the next Monday when the selection is refreshed, or you’ll have to buy one item so that another one will replace it the next day. And regardless of whether you buy it from his ship or RV shop, you can only get one item per day. Normally, I wouldn’t care about getting the art, but I’m trying to complete the museum, and I only have a few artifacts in the art section. I really hope they make it easier to get the art in the next game.

@StewdaMegaManNerd Please no. They already watered down the series enough with New Horizons. Making it even more watered down would ruin the need for any Real Time clock to even remotely exist.

@StewdaMegaManNerd
The easier way so far to get all paintings and art stuffs in ACNH by doing Time Traveling.
I did time traveling so many times just to exploit all the art stuffs for museum and my art stuffs was already completed long time ago.

Yosh...!

I used myself to portray my characters from BAPD which I have to change my skin tone, the eye design, hairstyle, outfits choices and wallpaper color that match with their color association.

@Anti-Matter wow, you really took a lot of time to make these look astounding! the characters backstories are really good. also you are so much better at taking photos than me haha 😝

@OctolingKing13
Thank you. 😄
I already have the idea of fictional police department when I was grade 10 back during year 2000.
I got the inspiration from NYPD Blue, Martial Law by Sammo Hung, VIP by Pamela Anderson, CSI NY & Miami (during my young adult age in late 2000's era)

@CaleBoi25 Yeah, hopefully decorating your town/island will be easier in the next game, the same as how you could decorate your home by dragging stuff with a cursor. I remember that Disney Dreamlight Valley had a mode like that for decorating your town in that game.

@Anti-Matter I would just time travel, but I’m afraid of messing something up. Maybe I’ll do so during the Easter season.

Yosh...!
Today is 5th Anniversary of Animal Crossing New Horizons! 🥰🎂
I made another photoshoot to celebrate this anniversary.

Five is for Police and Indigo color.

@Anti-Matter Awesome! I didn’t get into this game until a couple of years ago, but it has still been a fun time! I hope the next entry isn’t too far away. Also, these photos of yours are really neat! Keep up the good work!

I also wanted to take a lil' picture for the game's 5th anniversary!

Definitely can't wait for the next Animal Crossing game. Hopefully the folks at Nintendo are working on it as we speak!

I haven’t heard played anything before New Lear, but I’ve heard that the villagers could get interesting with their dialogue. Now it seems like the only times they get weird is when they suddenly lose all of their brain cells and say something really stupid. Should future entries bring back the more colorful dialogue (I personally hope they do)?

@StewdaMegaManNerd
I don't care with the dialogue.
I just only care with my villagers that I can keep them forever.
I'm glad in ACNH it has less yada yada yada that I will skip quickly.

If Switch 2 heavily decreases loading times for their games, this will be a huge one I'd want to revisit. The loading takes up so much of the game's time and is one of the most annoying parts of the game, it could really benefit from the power increase.

@PikminMarioKirby I feel like the most annoying waiting was not really loading but the 5 minutes it takes to do anything involving an internet connection.

@PikminMarioKirby Yeah, that’s definitely one of the biggest problems with these games. I also hope they don’t bring back the “breaking tools” system that plagues New Horizons. And it’d also be really nice if they made the villagers lifelike again. The dialogue in New Horizons is pretty boring, with Blathers and Brewster being the only characters really worth talking to. And for the love of God, they need to tone down the Jocks. Scoot’s on my island, and I need to start flying to Mystery Islands in order to find someone to convince to move to my island so that I can finally have a chance of getting him out of there. He is so arrogant and annoying. I don’t know if all of the Jocks are like that, but I still tend to avoid them.

Does anybody know if repeatedly buying fakes from Redd incentivizes him to only sell fakes? I’ve bought ‘em a couple of fakes hoping that he would replace them with real ones at his RV shop, but he just keeps replacing them with more fakes.

@StewdaMegaManNerd I'm fairly sure it's random each time, independent of what you bought before. Most commonly, exactly 1 is real though occasionally most are real or all can be fake.

If you're having trouble finding which is fake vs real, there are guides online.

@StewdaMegaManNerd
If you got the fake art, the twins Timmy & Tommy will not even accepting the counterfeit art stuffs to be sold.
The fake arts can be good for display purpose on your island.

@FishyS I already know to use a guide, I just purposefully buy fakes when that’s all there is, as the selection won’t update either until the following Monday or if you purchase one of the artifacts on offer. But lately Redd’s only been selling fakes.
