Topic: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

@BenAV That's great - thank you. Like I keep saying I am trying to build my island up at the moment so am putting in as much as I can with what I have. I'm amazed at how far forward some people are with their islands, some look absolutely beautiful

@Pink_Yoshi I'm not sure when Nooks Cranny gets upgraded. I had heard that you need to play for a full month but it's my 29th day playing and I haven't heard anything about it being upgraded yet.

You get the ability to make paths after K.K. visits. I needed to get 4 star rating for him to visit my town. I skipped past 3 star so I'm not sure if that is good enough.

@Lard_Bucket It's indeed three star for K.K. to visit.

I watched a video by Austin John on YouTube who has seen the data mining work done by others that showed Nooks Cranny will upgrade naturally after 29 days with 200,000 bells spent and sold collectively in the shop. So I’m expecting the shop to upgrade over the weekend. Fingers crossed because nooks is a rubbish shop in general.

@Lard_Bucket I heard that also but was not sure so I thought I'd check with everyone on here.

I am currently trying to get my island up to scratch for the star rating, I'm making a park at the moment and a shopping area. I am not as talented for design and layout as some people are but I will get there!

@meeto_1 glad its not just me who thinks Nooks Cranny is a little bit rubbish! I wish Tommy and Timmy wouldn't repeat each other's last word either, ha ha

@meeto_1 I'm kinda expecting that mine won't upgrade any time soon. I was playing when the clocks went back for daylight savings and I noticed when the day changed at 4am so I saved and quit and went back in and it jumped back from 5am to 4am so the game will probably count that as time travelling backward and reset my count or something. But we shall see.

What's up with the pictures that are for sale on the PC? They look like pictures, but they have a music note symbol. Are they music for my vinyl player, or just a pretty picture?

@Octane Music for your player!

@Octane They're the music tracks that you can buy for any of the various music player pieces of furniture. There should be one in Nook Shopping every day so make sure to keep buying them so you can build your collection, and once K.K. Slider starts showing up, you can request specific songs from him each Saturday.

@BrittGOAL14 @BenAV Cheers. No idea if I should be hoarding stuff and dropping it in my storage. I sell most of it.

@Octane You can also hang them on your wall as artwork which is pretty cool (:

Been down with a horrible migrane so wasn't on for most of the day yesterday. ): Hoping I can make up for that lost time!!!!! Why must this game be so addicting!?!?!?

@foxyflimflam Aw, that sucks.
I know, right? I've been meaning to make some decent progress in other games over the last few days but have basically only played Animal Crossing.

@Pink_Yoshi the upgraded Nook's Cranny expands some but just to where the rope fence is I believe. I don't think the game let's you place anything where it will expand.

I have been to at least 3 islands now that have the upgraded Nook's Cranny. Only one said they time traveled. Hopefully it is just the 29-30 days. It took forever for me to get the Able Sister's shop. Everyone had been posting about them at least a week before they opened on my shop.

@foxyflimflam That makes sense. Thanks. I'll grab the KK Slider one that's on sale right now.

@Octane I buy duplicates of the ones I think look cool so I can still register the song in whatever music player I want, and still can hang it on the wall if whenever I get the urge to (:

@BenAV I know!! There are so many other games and just things in general I want/need to do. But then I end up spending entire days on Animal Crossing! Its so easy to lose track of time! Lol

@SonicMos I've already got that recipe but I wouldn't mind coming and taking a look around and grabbing another while I'm there, if you're planning to open your gates.

@SonicMos
I'd like to come if you open. Anything or flowers you've been looking for. I usually try to bring a thing or two to trade or catalog.

@BenAV I hope that isn’t the case because I had a similar experience when BST started end of March. I woke up early and noticed the game was 1 hour behind but then it corrected itself when I saved and quit. For a game linked to real-time surely they account for clocks going back and forth in large parts of the world.
