TIPS AND TRICKS YOU'LL WISH YOU KNEW WHEN YOU STARTED | Animal Crossing New Horizons

If you’re starting/restarting and don’t want to wait for the pole vault recipe, you can buy the wetsuit and swim around the rivers to get the the other land.

A really easy way to catch wasps and avoid being stung is having your net out as you shake the tree. Your character automatically turns towards the falling nest and you only have to swing your net. It’s something they introduced in the big update of New Leaf and luckily kept in. It’s a total lifesaver 🥰

The best tip I've ever read: Don't judge your own island to harshly! You see so many picture perfect island on socials and it might frustrate people whose island isn't up to that standard in their eyes. I've visited so many gorgeous islands where people apologised for it looking so bad. It really doesn't! Visit other islands for inspiration, but never try to copy it because you are your own worst judge.

My last tip is to save the bugs you’ve caught until Flick shows up. He’s a very cute red dragon looking guy and he buys all things you catch with your net for more bells than if you sold them at Nook’s Cranny… I have several spots close to resident services that I place & stack up all my bugs/butterflies/hermit crabs/etc. Flick just came by my island and I sold him all my bugs ☺️ It gave me almost enough bells to pay off my 2nd floor home expansion!

Pro tip on getting blue roses. It won't be the 25% shown in the graph but it has only 4 steps. Seed whites mixed together to get purples, mix those purples with seed reds to get pinks, mix the pinks with seed yellows for special reds. Mix those for a 6% chance for blue roses. Lot less of a headache.

12:38 a faster way to get a lot of bells is to buy a wetsuit and swim in the ocean for sea creatures. There’s only a few who are hard to catch (I have tips for that too lol) but a majority are easier than fishing or catching bugs, and the best part is the cheapest sea creature is worth 500 bells- many of them being worth much much more. Whilst fishing/bug catching, a lot of them are worth less than 500 bells.

11:34 the MOST you should plant is $30,000 bells. But the best amount to plant is $10,000. Cos you have a 30% chance of getting 3 30k bags of bells and a 70% chance of getting 3 10k bags of bells. If you plant more than $30k, you’ll more than likely only get $30k back. Oh! And once you bury your 10k bells, immediately dig it up and place it next to your house so you don’t have to go looking for it. I have a little fenced off area with enough space to plant four trees equally spaced. Cos once you get your bags of bells from a money tree, it turns into a normal hardwood tree. So I keep my ax right next to my money tree area and cut it down right after i get my bells. Then take my shovel and dig up the stump, so I have room for my next money tree. They take three days, from planting to harvesting. So 4 is just the right amount. Hope that makes sense!! 😂

A good (or possibly bad) tip is to set up another player profile (or more) on your Switch (I set one up for my guy, though I mostly play it for him…). They will get a tent/house (which you could hijack for a store, restaurant or whatever and use for more storage), a daily money spot & message bottle and can interact with/be rewarded by the visiting NPCs - one of my goals is to get all Redd’s art (real & fake) so that is speeded up having 2 purchases with each visit (even quicker when he’s set up at Harv’s). But it does mean more work, I mean, play!

i’m so glad that people are still playing this game! i have a small feeling inside me that no matter what nintendo won’t let this game completely die.

This is great thanks for sharing! I learned that if your turnips spoil, you can set them out and wait for bugs like ants and flies to come eat it, then catch them with your net. This was great for me as I hadn’t donated those to the museum yet.

The max number of bridges and inclines goes up to 10 if you have the Pro Construction License :3 It appears as a buyable item in the Nook Stop if you already have 8 bridges and inclines already present. Steep requirements but can be very handy!

Just a tip that you didn't mention -- instead of selling your materials raw (e.g. gold, crops, etc.,) craft those materials into an item or a food and THEN sell. You will make more bells that way. Although it's time consuming (VERY TIME CONSUMING) the time spent is well worth it in the long run.

For the hitting rocks technique you can also dig two holes in the ground right behind where you're standing before you start hitting, it'll help you to not start sliding to the side and get all hits. Or if you're standing in front of a tree for example, you can dig a hole next to the tree for that extra support. I'm excited to see more ac videos from you! c:

Using party poppers instead of nets for wasp nests is a lot easier. Just use the party popper and they fly away. It can be in your tool belt or your inventory. The wasps stop when you access either of those things so you have plenty of time to grab them.

I don't know if this might be helpful for someone but: whenever you are going to shake several trees have your net on your hand, and try to shake it from the front and a little bit with an angle, too, so a bit to the side, if a wasp appears, right after the character shocks press A and you will catch it! they sell pretty good and you will have around 5 wasps a day (2500 each at Nook's Cranny and 3750 if you wait for Flick so that makes more than 10k bells if you can catch them all!)

5:41 a better tip would be to dig two or three holes one space back from the rock, so when you hit the rock with your shovel, you don’t jump back. Which lets you hit the rock in succession fast enough to get all 9 resources. Oh, and make sure there isn’t a hole or weeds in the 9 spaces around a rock. Otherwise there’s not a free spot for one of your resources to fall. Hope that makes sense!

If you get wasps you can run into a building if one is close enough. You don’t have to be super close, but you would need to have a clear & close to straight path to a door.

For placing houses on the beach, you can move residents houses and your house (Moving residents houses is 50K, moving yours is 30K) To move your house, you have to have paid off your moving fee (5,000 nook miles) and taken a 98,000 bell loan for your new house. You can replace houses by talking to Tom Nook after building Nooks Cranny.

Thank you for the tips! I restarted my island recently. Last time I paid $ for bells so I never worked the island, it became boring. There was so much about island design and turnips that I had no clue on

This is super helpful for a newbie like me. My island sucks bc I had no clue what I was doing 😂 I think I’m moving all the homes to the beach and starting over like you suggested. Thank you ❤

This was super helpful, considering I am a beginner! This definitely deserves more attention! (The dimensions of the buildings are just what I needed to plan my island out!)

I usually gather resources on trees on my island in the beginning with axes- and one big tip that helps is when chopping a tree have a net to the left or right of the axe and when Wasps come down just press left or right the game will face you forward then press A and boom caught a wasp every single time.

Great video, super helpful! Also I’m loving all the additional tips and tricks people are leaving in the comments! This is such a great community! One that I’d like to add, in case no one else has yet, is that your turnips will only go bad if you time travel backwards! If you go forward, they should stay just fine (granted you don’t time travel past Saturday) Hope this helps! Happy crossing!!

Even though it wasn't on your list, I had no idea you could plant the fruits/veggies from crops as starts, I thought you could only plant the literal ones you got from Leif. THANK YOU!!!!!!

0:39 you literally save my life I was having trouble knowing where to put the house is what I need to renovate and terraform my island you saved my life ❤ Thanks for the great video

I got burntout of the game and didn't play it for a year. The burnout didn't come from only the game itself but also from school and stuff. Now I have started playing it again and it has been really fun and made me feel guilty for not playing it :") Thank you for these tips, these videos just make me want to go back to the game and play it for the 3th time of the day :D

Love love looove all this advice! I just started playing new horizons, used to play the old animal crossing back in the day and it’s so different. I’ve literally only been playing for 3 days or so. I didn’t know you have to beautify your island for KK to come so I still have a long way to go before all that. But I appreciate this advice. I have paid for online yet so I can’t visit real islands but once I have things settled I will! Thanks so much!

I'm completely new to playing Animal Crossing and you're videos have been so incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much 💞

You’re content is so peaceful but also so helpful! Thank you so much for these tips! Definitely subscribing!!💖

Loved your video....I'm always learning new things. The comments below brought up others I thought about while watching yours. I'm at the designing phase. I didn't know where to begin in moving my houses.

This video was so helpful and easy to watch! Thank you for all the tips and tricks :) I'm excited to start using them and to design my island

Just found your video today, these tips are so helpful. I just started my island not too long ago, I’m so excited to play the game again and I’m taking the game slowly before thinking about designing and when I do I’ll be sure to use these tips^^

Nah the putting the houses on the beach tip is smart. Awesome video

Thank you for making this video!! I'm just abt to start Animal Crossing and these tips will surely help me alot, keep up the great work

Great video. I started and stopped the game a couple years ago and had forgotten so much. This was a great reminder!

I really like your channels energy. It’s nice for in the background or watching someone else build. I hope that you continue to have fun with it this year 🎉

thanks for all of the tips. i just started playing today and having good time so far!

This is extremely helpful I just saw it but Omgee the amount of bells I’m going to be making now thanks to you and I’m just starting out is freaking phenomenal thank you.! Please keep the videos coming.!

I'm starting my animal crossing adventure tomorrow when it comes. Thanks so much for the cool tips ❤

I'm new to ACNH and love it. Thank you for posting this video as I found it very helpful as I build my island.

Your voice is so calming and these tips are awesome! i was thinking about starting over and this is very useful! subscribed!

I am just starting out and this is my first Animal Crossing game (also my first video game without counting a couple crappy Android apps I’ve had over the past couple years.) These sound* so helpful and literally perfect timing! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Thank you Carmen! This video was very helpful, I would very much love a part 2 to this! Thanks again for this very helpful video 😊

Your channel is going to blow up- keep up the great vids! 🙌

These are amazing tips and your voice is so relaxing! Thank you for this!! :)

Hiya great video! I've been playing animal crossing since march 19, 2021 and i did learn something new rn :) i'm gonna go for the stunt trees on my new island i started 3 weeks ago! thanks for your tips! even though alot of them i already know :) i subbed your channel! 💚

Your voice is so CALMING!

The real big brain move is making a video like this and getting hundreds of more tips for ACNH in the comments.

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL i’ve had the game for a year and these will help me so much!!

Your voice is so comforting 🥹🤎

Thank you so much for this video. I'm so new to this game. This really helps me.

thanks a lot for making this vid! sending this to my partner so they feel more confident starting an island

I got it today and only have 3 hours on the game so far but seeing how gorgeously decorated your island is makes me want to play more 😭

Your video has waay better information for a new person then a lot of the ones I've watched. Thank you!

Your outfit and island are so precious! ♥

Excellent video!!! I’m only halfway thru and you’ve given great tips! (Also- I’m the 91st subscriber!)

2 things i wanna add: Always carry a net when shaking trees, particularly if you havent had the 5 wasp drops from each day (also face the tree from the front and the nest will drop to the side or right where you are, then all u have to do is swing your net without running away in fear lmao) And with crops, if u have the patience to get a 3 star island, kappas boat tours have a pretty good chance of islands with a bunch of specific crops (all carrots etc) and u can take home a ton of any ones u dont have :)

Thank you! I recently just got animal crossing and got Horribly addicted so all of it was super educational!

So freakin helpful!!! I just started playing in 2023… greatly appreciated. I love playing the game and these tips make the experience even more enjoyable.

First off THANK YOU! OMG love you for putting the dimensions for all the buildings, I'm no beginner but I never took the time, and thank you for putting them all together and one nice screenshot 😁👏 Also I love that gown you're wearing! I'd like that code please

Wonderful video thank you! Just started playing a little over a week ago ❤️

Thanks for the tips! I didn’t know there was a limit on inclines and bridges.

You are amazing! Amazing video! Would love an inspo video for choosing a new theme?

Outstanding video. THANK YOU!!!

Great video! Many different tips in different areas.

Very good video but here’s some expansions on the things that might clear things up for new players. - in spring when you hit bamboo, you can get young spring bamboo instead of normal bamboo to craft seasonal items - if you shake a tree you may also find a item inside of the tree (one spawns per day) and ornaments inside of decorated ceder trees in winter. Bells also can fall from theme - you can use a toilet in the game to remove the fruit/food buff - eating cooked or purchased food will give 5 spaces of food buff instead of one. Eating turnips will fill all 10, which is fast for wildlife removal. - if you break a rock, it will respawn the next day, yes, but it will be in a different, randomized location (this can be manipulated) - each day one rock on your island is filled with money instead of rocks - there is one diy recipe bottle on your beaches every single day, not including your secret beach. Your friends can take it from your island so make sure to collect it before having others over - you can wait for lief to come to your island for the vegetables and shrubs, but you can also have him set up a shop at Harv’s island where you will be able to buy from him all week long (he will still continue to visit your island, unlike Mabel) - bugs are very good for making money, but keep in mind that old videos about emptying a nook mile island and farming tarantulas has been patched and no longer works. Look for more recent farming methods. hope this helps if you were confused why something might be happening in game ^^

i’m new & this was so helpful wow thank you 😊

I love how you take the time to like all the comments, I love your vids btw❤

Had a switch in 2020, sold it to a friend. Animal crossing was probably my most played game. Last month I've started getting an itch to play again, been a minute since I played a nice, relaxing game. Naturally, I bought a switch again and this is helping me get back in

This helped a lot, thanks!

I just started in the game, great tips

Omg your voice is so calming

I subscribed a couple das ago your voice is so Nice and calm

I love the design of your Island.

That cottagecore dress is so cute O: We just got the Resident Building so we're pretty far behind haha. My girlfriend got into AC just a few weeks ago and it was maybe a few days later I was into it in no time. I never realized how extensive the game was. I subscribed and I'll go through more videos later. You do a good voice over and your videos are nicely done.

About to get a switch and play this game, thank you for this 🤠

Thanks for this video, I am a newbie and have just started playing today. 😇

Thank you so so much for this, I'm pretty new to animal crossing this really helped a lot :o I also wanted to join your discord server but the link here has expired. Once again, thank you for sharing your tips ^^ hope you keep up with the great content :3

If you do have a resident services that is only one or 2 tiles away from the airport, I have seen some amazing builds that still manage to hide it both natural and urban islands. My old island was very close and I still managed to do it. It comes down to if you really want to deal with the challenge or find something else. But it isn't a deal breaker by its lonesome.

Another great video! - Trollmoose88 the best rainbow six siege player in North America on Xbox

New subscriber here! You helped me so much!

I like your sense of humor 😊Nice island

Thanks for the tips

Your voice is so soft 🥺💜

Ur amazing I love the video sp much 💖

You can also get crops occasionally from Kapp'n Islands

Great video!

Just started playing animal crossing seriously. I’ve had the game since it came out but I’ve never really been that interested in playing it. I’m not binge watching videos about it while playing the game 😂

I love that they added the vines and permanent ladders. I barely use all my inclines now!

I’m just now starting out as of a few days. I had no idea this game has so much to offer 😭 your island is beautiful omg. I regret placing houses in the land now 😭 i only put my house near the beach (not on it). Ahhh

If Kapp'n takes you to a nighttime island, spend some time watching the sky. Shooting stars will keep appearing pretty much the whole time you are there. There might be 2 in a row, than a gap of a few seconds to like a minute, then 3 or 4 shooting stars, and so on. They appear in a random pattern. I'm not sure if there are nighttime islands without shooting stars, I've only ever been taken to two, but they both had shooting stars.

First time playing this game,I can't put it down ,good info thanks

Hello! I've been playing for a decent while and managed to learn some new stuff, thanks! Also I was wondering if you have any tips for planning islands, I have about a third of mine planned but there's a lot left... 🤔

im getting this game soon so thanks alot

I did not knowthe first two tips and I've had to work on how I will terraform the island around where I placed my main building and the rest of the houses.

Omg girl your voice is the prettiest i´ve ever heared!!

For hitting rocks you can make two holes on the diagonal and get all the resources

I remember when I first played I had no clue you could catch wasps. It was a very hard time 😅

Keep a turnip and save it to go rotten so you can get an ant for Blathers 😘
