If I switch to a family account, my sis said I could joins hers, would I lose my games that I bought on my account? Or how would I re-download them?

@Spamela Your games should still be there when joining a family group, since all of your downloaded games are tied to your Nintendo Account. A family group simply lets up to 8 Nintendo Accounts have access to anything NSO offers, provided that anyone gets any NSO family membership. I don't see how your games would be gone when joining a family group, so seems like you have nothing to worry about.

@Spamela Are you talking about joining an Nintendo Switch Online family plan? You don't lose anything. You keep your current nintendo account, save data, and everything you purchased with that account.

If your sister buys the family plan, she just needs your email address (of your nintendo account):
After your sister purchases an NSO family plan, your sister will need to log into her nintendo account on nintendo's website, select Family Group tab; Then hit Add Member then Invite someone to your family group, and she plugs in the email address of your Nintendo account. Afterward, I think you'll get a email notice asking to agree/accept joining her family plan.

It's super simple. It's been a few years since I set one up, so forgive me if I'm slightly off in my description, but that's generally how it works.
