Update: We spent several hours learning about Treasure Islands, using Twitch may be better but far too many hoops to jump through for me. The Pange Plays website is easier. The biggest problem for me was it made the game too easy, it may be OK if all I wanted to do is decorate an island to impress others. Maybe if you needed something like fish bait, but then they have fish you can donate, why fish if you can just grab what you need. The free islands I listed do not have art work or items you purchase but everything else. It was interesting, just need to be patient, other players are always coming or leaving. We are restarting my island again, my favorite time in the game is the first day, not having anything but lots of ideas and challenges. It is nice to know about Treasure Islands, and I do not see it any different than people visiting other islands to get free stuff.

Thanks for the information

We restarted my island last Tuesday (game date Dec 31, 2024), last evening we got the weather seed it looks like this:

Weather Seeds show the exact times for shooting stars, as well as rain, and other weather conditions. We use it mostly for shooting stars, likewise if we know there will be shooting stars we can look for Celeste to get star related diys. Celeste is not there every time there are shooting stars. Knowing when it will be raining helps with getting bugs and the rain fish.

At one time we only used time travel for short periods, now we leave the Switch stay there for weeks at a time. We keep the same day of the week, and time of day, just a different starting date.

Interesting, we just got Avery, our 10th villager today. I restart my Southern Hemisphere island often, I really like the first couple days on a new island. The last 3 islands we Timed Travelled to the first week of January to start, it is a great time for a Southern Hemisphere island, great fishing and lots of bugs.

ACNH is the only game we play, so setting the clock to January does not create any problems. We may time travel within the same day to meet our schedule but do not do any serious time travel until we get the beautify ordinance. We found that most times our Southern Hemisphere island will get shooting stars in early January, so at night I may use a cheap, less than $10 HDMI video capture card and record several hours of the night sky to watch later and get the weather seed as soon as posssible after an island restart. Tomorrow the Beautify Ordinance goes in effect and we will work on the fish and bugs first to fill the museum. We don't always finish the museum, some times it may need 1 or two fossils or a statue we can not get.

About 2 years ago my wife was able to get blue roses in about 60 days, it was Northern Hemisphere during the snow season. We tried using the same method at the same time in the Southern Hemisphere (summer) but did not do as good and finally gave up. She was extra careful to make sure she did not mix flowers, kept them well isolated. She did not allow them together until step 4, then she kept all the step 4 hybrid red roses together. It took up a lot of room isolating each pair to make sure they did not cross bred with the wrong flower. Each step she planted a new seed flower. We had flowers everywhere, every time we got a hybrid we moved it to a different spot and planted a seed flower next to it. If the pair produced anything other than the desired hybrid flower, it was trashed so not to get them mixed.

I pretty sure this is the method she used:

Step 1 : Seed White + Seed White = Purple

Step 2 : Purple from Step 1 + Seed Red = Pink

Step 3 : Pink from previous step + Seed Yellow = Hybrid Red

Step 4 : Hybrid Red from previous step + Hybrid Red from previous step = blue

Sorry, I should have said my wife and I play every day, we have our own islands. This community is not very active, do not know how many still play. I prefer Lemmy World but Reddit is better for active ACNH players.

Very good, we play every day.

Do you play ACNH?

Grandpa from New Home coming to visit..?.

Interesting setup, I did see a few empty spots in the row of bags with bells, so I added a few (not much of a donation)

Not many active posters here.

My wife and I play ACNH every day, she has a NH island and I have a SH island that I restart often . I think Feb 4 is the last restart, but I time traveled to Jan 1, 2025. We are into the basics, last evening my wife caught 29 dorados (15k bells each) on a mystery island, today we got the new Residential Services building and now she has 40 pocket spaces , so she will be trying it again to see if she can get 39 . The first couple weeks on a new island are my favorite part of the game.

Yes, you are correct, at one time using blank NFC tags was considered the best method.

The big difference is the little unit I described is ready to go, the only thing you need to know is the amiibo number for the character you want if you do not want to edit the file names. They have a chart with pictures to look up the character, but it follows the same as the regular amiibo. For example, Avery is 140, you scroll down to AC 101 -200 and in that folder select AC 140.bin and hold the unit near the pro controller and it calls Avery. It is really fast at Harvey's Island doing group pictures.

I think they have every amiibo currently available already in this newest system, but I only know about ACNH , and it seems complete . I have no experience with the amiibo characters for the other games, we only play ACNH.
