97% of Players Make These 9 Mistakes | ACNH Tips and Tricks 

I finally did a face reveal! ➜ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yr7xixESpx4.html IMPORTANT: For the ladder tip - this only applies to villagers not being on cliffs - if you use NMT for things other than purely villager hunting bring a ladder to get the most out of each ticket! However, if villager hunting, never bring a ladder~

I love how your island didn’t change much. It makes me feel nostalgic, I miss when ACNH was new. It was the one saving grace of 2020. I kinda miss that feeling. I know it wasn’t a good time for all of us, so sorry if I offend anyone for saying this.

The last tip hit me hard. I restarted my island recently because I felt very exhausted trying to make my island like those super crazy ones on Pinterest. I'm working on my island as we speak and I was kind of dejected until you mentioned the last part, and it made me very happy. :) So, thank you!

I think seeing another's island that looks absolutely amazing and finished, with great details and aesthetic, is it's just like art. We are only seeing the finished product, not the time and effort that went into it. The mistakes, the redesigns, the awkward spaces they had to figure out what to do with that looked planned to you. The many touch-ups to get it just the way they want it.

Can I just say this.... THANK YOU. Thank you for saying it. ACNH is NOT a competition game... I bought this game for the relaxed feel. I have severe depression, anxiety and PTSD, so the laid back play style, the fact that it's not full of hardcore gaming and fighting or me playing against other players with different skill levels, is a HUGE reason this appealed to me so much. I've spent WAYYYY too much time on RU-vid, Reddit, FB, Pinterest, and even Google, looking at other players islands and comparing their level to my own. I've stressed myself out because I couldn't get that exact beautiful design that so many other players have, the look and feel of the island being like a real life city, farm, etc, that I put the game down and almost didn't play again. This game has helped me in so many ways with my emotional and mental health. To some, this may seem silly or absurd, but you'd have no idea how much this really did help. Finally I said okay, what is it exactly that I love most about my island? It's the ease of getting around. It's the way that certain areas are set up. I like being able to see the things that fall from the trees, so the idea of setting up my orchard in simple rows would drive me nuts. I have ponds/lakes (whatever you want to call them), I have my rivers... I have my spawn points for my fish. I need that ability to get around my island with ease... I even set up a Mario pipe by Nook's Cranny and one by my farming area/orchard where I can easily transport goods to sell them. I like my simple, effective, easy to navigate, yet beautiful island. I like the idea of being able to have it reflect ME and give it that peaceful vibe. Thank you, again, for saying it. This isn't a competition. Whatever you want to put on your island, however you want it, ENJOYING your game.... That's how you're supposed to do it. You're the ONLY person I've ever heard say it. So... Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

i stopped playing last year because i felt like my island was rubbish compared to everyone else’s and i felt a bit disheartened by it i guess? i picked it back up in april this year and i am loving it again as i did exactly what you said, just designing it how i like it without comparing it all the time. now when i see a beautiful island i just think of it as a nice design idea maybe i could use some influence from rather than feeling bad about my own. it’s weird why we do that to ourselves.

I'm a mom who plays :) I didn't know about the zoom or the ladder! I also need to stop feeling inferior when I see other towns. Thank you. 🧡

For the bells. On the days Isabel says she’s feeling lucky, plant the max bells. You’ll get triple. No gamble at all

The last one could not be more true to me. I see a lot of gorgeous island designs on social media, but they're just so *cluttered and overwhelming*, that it's hard to walk around. I have visited lots of dream islands before and while they were gorgeous, they were also too cluttered to move around on. I couldn't find my way around and there wasn't much walking space. Now I am not saying that these islands are bad, since they truly took a lot of time and effort, but I prefer simple islands where I can easily follow the paths. If I have to squeeze my way through dozens of tiny gaps just to get to a villagers home, it's not that much fun for me and I leave the island again real quick. So yeah, simple islands it is. :3

Happy to see you posting! 😎 also I did NOT know about the zoom thing. And I love what you had to say about competing with other player’s islands. Everyone’s island is beautiful 🤬

None of these are mistakes, in my opinion. Just different ways to play or do things. I appreciate the time you took to share, though, & I'm sure some people learned something new! I love ACNH so much, it's so adorable & chill!

I know most of these as an avid AC player but for someone just starting out or is a slight beginner, this is SUCH a useful video. You’re giving tips that not many people actually make points about and I love that 🥰🥰 also awesome to see you post man

Regarding the burying of bells - if you ever have a day when Isabelle talks about her horoscope when you start the day you can bury 99,000 bells and have 297,000 as a result. I have only had the good fortune of having it happen once but now every day I hope she will mention her horoscope again!

OMG. Yes. I use to compare my island to other too! I ended up focusing on paying my Loans off and building huge farms and flower gardens. My friends love my ideas. 💕 Thank you.

The King has returned 👑

I just picked up the game again recently after quite a long break. I miss the days when my entire friend list wasn't offline or I would have a silly letter in my mailbox. I also sometimes compare my island to others and think "Man, I would love to have a well-themed island like that." but honestly, I love my *completely normal* island where nothing strange at all is going on... ever...

i learned that i was time travelling the wrong way for the first year and a half. so much time wasted! welcome back, it's great to hear your voice again :')

I love the Ancient Japanese theme you have. I want to either do cottage core or maybe ancient japanese theme for my island

OH MY GOSH CHASE !!!!! WELCOME BACK!!!!

Welcome back! I hope you're doing okay. I can totally relate to that last tip as I always find myself comparing my island to others and then losing the motivation to complete my island. It's an endless cycle lmao. A fun tip relating to the fruits would be that if you eat some of the new food items from the 2.0 update, they'll give you 2 "powerups" instead of just 1.

it has been ages! hope you're doing well. i have redone my entire island this past week bc froggycrossing's 30 challenge inspired me to get back into the game and flatten it all. i miss playing it, i wish i had a second switch so i could just keep making new islands without losing my stuff :,) also, for the first tip you can change the time/date before you even save, so you can still spam through that save complete screen :)

The time travel advice, zoom feature and Nintendo app typing shortcut were really helpful. Every time I think I’ve seen the majority of what the game has to offer - I’m so, so wrong. I love it.

actually cliff islands are spawned even without the ladder... Not always flat ones. Well, it's just true you won't need to climb to villagers without the ladder, they will be spawned at 1st level

That last tip was so sweet and wholesome. My boyfriend got my a switch and AC for Xmas and I've loved it so much. I was really into sims 2 and sims 4 but between the glitches and the forever load time he wanted me to have a better game. I didn't think I could love it as much as I do. I actually -avoided- RU-vid tips and AC content because I wanted to learn it myself and I also knew I'd get really insecure at how amazing some islands are. I've visited some absolutely insane ones in dreams. But last night I wanted to fall asleep to AC content and everyone in this community is SO FREAKING NICE. It makes me so happy and I can't wait to work on my island and one say meet online friends to come and play and vice versa. That last tip made me feel very included, as I'm currently hoarding bells and my island is a slow roll of getting it to look anyway I like. Also as soon as you said bury no less than 10k bells, I stuck 1k in and moved one. 🙃😂 thanks for this video!

All of these facts are really useful! My favorite tip is don't bring a ladder with you to a nook miles island if your villager hunting. I always used to bring it and it wastes so much time.

I didn’t know a bunch if these! I had to decide that my island is never going to be as aesthetic as a lot of these amazing gorgeous islands. Instead I focus in building a little world that I want to inhabit, and that makes me happy

i just got a switch & started playing animal crossing 2 weeks ago. your island is beautiful! everything looks so different compared to where i am now. i was just able to build the museum! thanks so much for all these tips. i’ll definitely be using them!

I just restarted my island, but my first one was so empty until I decorated for a holiday, and that was exactly how I liked it. I did terraform a giant spade cliff, though, was pretty proud of that.

I definitely will be trying the time travel tip. I actually deliberately keep my ladder on me when I hunt, it keeps things from getting too boring. Plus some of the really cool islands won’t spawn if you don’t take your ladder, like fin island, since they have cliffs.

Welcome back Chase! I just saw you uploaded and ran around my house telling my flatmates that you’re back! I hope you feel rested and refreshed! So happy to see you 💞

Hi, Chase! 👋🏻 This is my first time watching one of your videos and commenting. First of all, thank you so much for those helpful tips. There was probably one or two of them I wasn’t aware of even after playing for over two years but I just wanted to thank you especially for the last and final tip; I felt like it’s something I needed to hear because I’ve just recently restarted my island for the second time and feel like I’m constantly comparing it to other islands which, I know, is something I shouldn’t be doing. So big thank you for that little reminder, it is much appreciated ☺️

I love what you said about how it’s not a competition. This is my peace. Thank you Chase ❤

This entire video and commentary got me subscribe. So informative. I actually listened to it originally. Thorough yet not overwhelming at all. Anyone who plays ac has to check this video out. I got a lot out of it. Start to finish solid. Great job and thanks for the pointers!

Hi Chase! So happy to see you posting again! You were the first ACNH creator I started following and really missed your videos!

With around 1,500 hours in, I’m actually shocked that I didn’t know 2 of these. (Time traveling without closing game, ladder spawning leveled Mystery Islands)

welcome back Chase!! we've missed you a lot, I used to time travel the wrong way, so that first tip is definitely helpful to know. I also agree with the no comparing your islands to other people's.

Welcome back! Really resonated with the last tip! I've seen lots of island tours and toured islands myself and I've never been to a bad island. No matter how far they are in their island progress, if they have a lot of custom designs, or if they have a lot of builds and items set out, I always find something on their island that sticks out and wows me ☺️

Woooah I was JUST thinking about you, I've been watching a ton of island tour videos lately and always loved your positive and fun style of doing it. Nice to see you back, hope you're doing okay!

Welcome back!! 🎉 I actually didn’t know the TT one, so that’s super helpful for me!

Just wanted to make a comment on how I really appreciate your 9th tip. I used to compare myself to others islands and felt less creative. I love my island now bc not everyone’s islands are going to be the same and that’s what makes the experience unique. Thank you for that. I have also have a quick question: what is a fertal day? I want more bells lol

This made me so happy!! Thanks for bringing us this video Chase!! I actually learned something new!! 😜

So happy to hear your voice again! Welcome back and I hope you are well :) You are so right about not playing alone. The AC community is such a wonderful one, with so many people playing all over the world. There is something for everyone!

Chase! It's so good to have you back you've been missed! Awesome video with some great tips. Think I was doing about 5 of these!

This was the first video I've watched from you. It popped up in my recommended and at first I simply was just watching with my morning coffee, but then number nine happened. That was such a sweet section and so encouraging, it made me subscribe. Thank you so much for your kind words. I feel more people should be this way.

The only real mistake many people do is to compare themselves to others, whether that is ACNH or anything else in life.

Best ACNH video I’ve seen in a while! Play it how you want and enjoy the process ♥️

I love that last tip. I always compare my islands to others and restart my islands because it's not what those other islands look like. Tysm for this tip it rlly helped! 💓

Wow, my 1st and all time favourite AC RU-vidr. I needed this little bit of joy today 💕

I absolutely love your island!!! Also thanks for the zoom trick! I wanted to know how to do that ☺️

The giggle while getting rid of the fruit

you have no idea how happy i was to see a video from you in my subs inbox! i watched your island tours borderline religiously hah but since i never commented back then i thought i'd do that now and wanted to say that i hope you've been well ☺

I was just thinking about you and how I missed you when I opened my RU-vid app and here’s a new video! So happy to hear your voice again, you are my favorite animal crossing content creator ❤️

I actually didn’t know about that money tree one. I usually put 99,000 bells and a couple times it ended up being 10,000 bells in each bag. I thought my game was glitched and was quite frustrated. Thanks for the tip

I’ve just ordered my first switch and it arrives on Thursday with ACNH (late to the game, I know but my beloved 2006 Nintendo DS lite has now died and I can no longer play AC). Thanks for the helpful tips ahead of my new addition to NH ☺️

Thank you so much for the last point. This is something so important. I played ACNH and it helped me so much with depression and anxiety. But then I started not only search for inspiration but compared myself to other players. I totally lost my joy in strolling through my neighborhood and instead became a busy and stressed out ax wielding sad mess. After a few month of not playing I had to relearn to live in the AC moment and also got my inspiration back. It is YOUR island. It's about you to feel comfy there. ❤

Yay welcome back lovely!! I knew all these except the zoom. I always wondered how streamers do that lol

New subscriber here 🥰 the Time Traveling tip was super helpful! I TT so much and it's time consuming hahaha, literally every minute counts!

The part about visiting other islands and leaving my ladder was something I did not know. Thank you for that

So happy to hear your voice again, hope you’ve been well and taking care of your ❤️

Wah 😭 i felt that last tip. I just got into animal crossing, barely my second week playing it, and everyone has such gorgeous things. Meanwhile, I'm here flabbergasted how I got scammed into paying off loans 🤣

Thank you so much for the gaming tips! I honestly didn’t know a bunch of them. I appreciate it 🐥

We need more animal crossing content!!! More island reviews/tours please you're my favorite RU-vidr!

Oh emm gee LOL! This entire video just blew my mind. Some of it was so obvious but never thought about it.. Thank you SO much!! Especially the time travel tip.. and the friggin LADDER!! I just lost my previous island due to ignorance moving my island from one switch to another, and restarted for the first time since release... Soooo these tips will come SO in handy!! Thank you ^_^

The money tree tip has a little addon I want to put: You have to bury the bells in the glowy spot, only that spot, or it won't grow and be a star in the ground.

Thank you so much! I love the zoom trick! That's going to make things fun!

Thank you so much for this video! I never knew almost any of these and I've spent so much time over these! Also, thank you for reminding us that AC is not a competative game!

Loved the zoom tip & the money tree trick blew my mind!!! Thank you!!

I really love the time traveling advice. I tried it right after watching this, so much quicker. Wish I knew that before I made it to three stars.

These tips were super helpful! Thank you! I’m slowly working on my island to one day submit to you for a tour. Look out for me one day!

A new thing I learned from this game is definitely the fact that you can use the app to type in-game, like that's super neat! But to be fair, I never really type much in-game because as in mistake 7: I play alone. Not that I don't have anyone to play with, but more that the internet here isn't the best for online multiplayer games most times so I never felt an Online sub to be worth it for me. Really love the way your island looks btw, the colour scheme is so pleasant~

Ahhhh chase!! Welcome back! I used to binge your island tour videos, I'm so happy your back!!

welcome back man!! awesome to see a video out! 💙

I actually learned something! Thank you for the tips!

Thank you so much for that last one. I like straight lines as well and being able to have a lot of space to run around and get to places faster.

Welcome back Chase!!! We missed you so much. So glad you’re back :)

I forgot my ladder a few times and there were cliffs on those islands. And I do compare myself to others. I tend to restart my island every time it comes to designing it because I never have any ideas! I see all these beautiful islands and wonder why I can’t do that.

also little trick; you can turn your character as you press a with a tool in hand so terraining is slightly less slow for example

Wow I've been time traveling wrong! Happy to see a new video from you!!

Chase!!!! So glad to have you back!!!

I did not know about the shortcut for time traveling. Two years I’ve been losing minutes waiting to load the game! 😅. Was not aware about the zoom feature either. Also, if you eat one food item you crafted, I believe it gives you 5 counts.

Me, who doesn’t own a Nintendo Switch: Ahh yes, I never knew about these shortcuts 😯

happy to see you posting again! hope you've been well💕

Nice Video :) Just wanted to add to #3 "Typing slowly" that you can also just plug a generic USB Keyboard into your Switch if you are playing in docked mode and can type that way, beats using a phone imo.

This was a really well done video... lots of good tips and also things just for us to bear in mind. I actively follow several AC RU-vidrs and I am in awe of their islands as much as I'm jealous that mine doesn't look as nice as theirs. But even with the mental mindgames I play with myself, their work inspires me to make strides to improve. The whole "don't play alone" thing... the whole reason I spent the first year or so playing alone was that I didn't want to pay for a NSO subscription. After I did, I went to the Bell Tree Forums and someone there hooked me up with the fruit I was missing... and I spent the last few months going through dream addresses.

OMG!!! Thank you so much for the time travel tip! My jaw dropped the second you said "at this point go to date and time". I was like "wait a minute!! WAIT A MINUTE! No freaking way!!". 😅 I honestly thought there was nothing new you could tell me because I've played since release. Boy was I wrong! Plus the zoom feature I knew nothing about and always wished I could zoom in to see certain details. Almost everything you mentioned I knew nothing about! Thank you for this video! You're amazing!! 🤗🥰

the last tip rlly helped me bc i wanted to make a huge beautiful one and i kept watching tutorials and i spent hours. and i decided to stop and make my island my own after watching this video tysm chase crossing

I’ve always felt so bad for playing animal crossing because I enjoy the game but I don’t enjoy decorating my island, I enjoy getting money, buying lots of clothes, decorating houses, filling my museum etc but I don’t enjoy decorating my island because it’s too much work and it stresses me out whenever I try to decorate it.

I love your video & tips. I didn't know about the zoom option as well as the time travel OR the ladder!!! Awesome tips that I've never heard of -- okay, maybe the TT, but I can never remember it lol Your cheefulness is contagious! This video is great, funny and joyful. Thank you!

You're wrong about the ladder thing. Very first island I went to had cliffs. I'm tired of all the misinformation. Out of any game I've played, animal crossing has the most rumors and misinformation.

Welcome back Chase! Happy to see you’re making videos again! Hope all is doing well man!

Oooooooooooh, dude! Come year's end, I'm going to look at my criterpedia, and then time travel to get anything I missed. THANK YOU for that time-saver tip. You're a boos. Also, you seem so sweet and kind, and your town is GORGEOUS, my gosh.

I started competing after seeing Chase Crossing videos because I wanted to be so good that it would be realistic to be among them. But the part of my island that I actually enjoyed doing, is the most beautiful.

This is the very 1st video that i saw fm you but man...i gotta say this. I really like you, the energy u are giving ppl, i love it. Im gonna immediately sub to you!!

Omg you're back!!! I sometimes checked your channels for new videos just in case youtube didn't send me a notification

The Leave Your Ladder behind tip isn't always full proof. I left my ladder behind on a 'dig up whole trees and to replant them' trip and five of the six islands I visited had cliffs.

I tried to play with people but everybody that was part of my lets play left the game ages ago. So all the people I spent time with to get footage vanished. So I mostly play alone now. It's funny because the guy that wanted me to get the game in the first place gave up in like a month. So here I am 2 years later with well over a TB of footage. I love this game to death but lost a lot of friends along the way.

I knew a couple of these but learned a lot more! I had to restart my island because the game I was playing got deleted some how. I'd been playing for almost 3 years and it's gone. I lost my friends and I can't get cherries or peaches so I'll probably check out the Discord. Thank you for posting this. You got another subscriber 😊

Thank you for the last tip! I literally restarted the game last night bc I needed *something* to control and immediately found myself hunkering down to play the game efficiently instead of in a fun way (even though that's why I wanted to start in the first place!)

Time traveling causes lots of burnout on the game and makes it more boring and you gain less play time. I don’t time travel over the lengths of days, but if a shop I need is closed I DO time travel.

when today is april 11…
