Where to Start on Your Animal Crossing Island - Tips and Tricks // Animal Crossing: New Horizons 

Lex “I recommend to invite over some friends” *laughs in no online play*

I’m gonna get it for Christmas so I just wanna be prepared

Me : played 450 hours, have a 5 stars island Also me : *clicking on the video at the speed of light* 😍✨

lex: "i recommend inviting a friend over" also lex: invites herself 🤔🤣

thank u because i LITERALLY don’t know what i’m doing 😭

Me: not having a switch or animal crossing Also me:clicking on this video anyway Update: I got one😏

The tip about placing the houses on the beach is so so valuable~ I'm looking forward to more!

Definitely wish I'd had some of these tips the first time I chosen an island! Thanks for the helpful video. 🤗✨

Oh and remember, mom will send you a fruit. Don't sell this! Plant it and you will get anothet fruit!

Lex: *fast forwards through the introductory scenes featuring the original island inhabitants* Me: *pauses and zooms in on the video, rubs eyes* “is that Donkey Kong??”

your timing is impeccable, i just restarted my island ! so excited to see what you do with lost falls

I got a Nintendo and animal crossing for Christmas today so this might help!

The wetsuit tip was awesome, definitely didn't know that.

i wish i had known about the map stuff when i started,, i've completely flattened my island bcs i refuse to restart and loose everything 😭

i'm getting a switch and animal crossing in two days, i'm SO happy that this came up on my recommended in time :)

Thanks for the tips! My depression has gotten so bad that I could even get up to play the very thing that fought against it for a while. This video was a huge breather.

I love the early stages of the game, it feels so much more relaxing

Getting a yellow switch lite and animal crossing new horizons for Christmas, getting my self prepared 😬

I just bought New Horizons, and I'm gonna start playing in Christmas! Can't wait to decorate my little tent, upgrade to a House, and start decorating like crazy! Making my own designs for clothes and terraforming! I'm extremely excited, and I haven't played a single AC game ever, so I'm thrilled to see if it IS as Epic as I espect It to be. Edit: Yeah, it's super Epic. But... Guess my exterior decorating skills aren't as good as my interiors' skills... And now that I got rid of almost 100 percent of my island's landscape.... *I don't know what to do*

me now having an anxiety because I didn't place my houses on sand😀

Thanks for sharing! This is so helpful! I’m over 900 hours in but I’m contemplating starting over. There is so much I didn’t know when I first started and my island is a disaster.

this is the only starting video i’ve watched that has original tips!!! thank you so much i’m going to go dive!!

What a queen this video is so informative 😭😭💙 Also yes Tom is our fearless leader and always will be

Omg congrats on your very first video!!! I love your intro bgm 😍😍

Best tips video I’ve seen so far. Thanks! I got the game for my daughter as a Christmas present and I believe I’ve been playing more than her. 🤔 It’s addicting.

I just got my switch and the game like 30 mins ago lol now im watching this

Hey Lex!! I just wanne say that i love your island, and you give me so much inspiration to build and what i want for my island!! much love from the netherlands ♥

I have played Wild World and Pocket Camp but I'm starting New Horizons next year so this has been very helpful! Thank you for the great video.

These are so helpful! Just got the game and I’m so excited to start!! Thanks Lex!

starting new horizons is so intimidating ! i feel so anxious to get my island to the perfect place where i want it to end up 😭 it’s starting to get there though !

Thank you! I watched this before I started my island - very useful tips for the first days of play :)

I’m so excited- I’m going through tons of videos bc I’m getting my first switch in a few days and I want this as my first game- I find these tips so great-

YAY CONGRATS LEX 🥳 already can’t wait for more

Now I wanna restart the whole thing thank you for these tips~ subscribed!

Im so excited for this channel, this was a great video!

I just got a switch the other day and was planning on buying animal crossing soon and was looking for just a video this was perfect thanks for the help I can’t wait to start playing.

For Anyone Getting The Game and Switch Soon: - I have both the game New Horizons and the switch in lite, I recommend getting the Nintendo Switch Lite if you aren't able to afford the regular switch as it works just as fine as the regular one. It also narrows your pricing down by a lot so you don't have to pay for much when you're at the register. 😁 Now, a case for the switch is optional (I don't have one). The reason I don't have a case is because I don't really take my switch anywhere with me, it also feels like it won't be capable to break easily. But if you feel like you're going to be taking it with you everywhere I recommend getting a case, they'll protect the switch no matter how many times you drop it. 😁 - The game New Horizons is amazing and super enjoyable to play, the music is flattering and calming. The game really gives off a cool, cute, classy, and relaxing vibe. I 10/10 recommend the game for anyone who loves designing, exploring things, and adventuring. The game allows the player to unlock and try new things, I know many of us are doing online school or are staying home often so the game is an easy way to release boredom or stress. I believe the game is definitely worth the price, because of the updates and cool new features it adds to the game monthly. When I first got the game I couldn't stop playing it because of how fun and attached I got to it. 💖 - I hope my tips on both the switch and New Horizons gave you help on buying them as I know Christmas is coming up and so is the Winter update in Animal Crossing. 🎄 Please stay safe and have an amazing day. 🌟

Hi Peaches! Thank you for the tips! I started playing last month. My island is set up just like yours!

THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG!! i just got it for christmas, and i feel like i’m kind of stuck. so thank you!!

I just got Animal crossing today and I’m so excited and I’m looking at tips on RU-vid!!

Good video. Thanks for answering a question I had about the glowing grass

I restarted my island about a week ago and OMG, best choice ever! I’ve started terraforming recently and everything is coming together so nicely! Like it’s honestly becoming the dream island I wanted. 😅 Also great video! 💕💚

omg- i got ACNH 3 days ago and im just NOW watching this- im planning on restarting it now since i dont like the map i chose, the villagers, or the native fruit. plus i LOVE changing things up 24/7 so yeah! but ty! this video was very helpful!

i just got the lite and the game today. this helps a lot thank uuu

I just started playing last night so I need this haha

LETS GOOOOOOOOOO! I have my post notifications on and am so proud of you! :)

Starting over after only playing like the first month and the wetsuit tip helped tons!!

brb restarting my island, though im gonna cry bc i wont have clay:(

OMG I’m getting animal crossing on Nintendo switch lite (the yellow one) IM SO EXCITED!!😆

just got my game yesterday, AND I LOVE THIS!

YAY! FIRST VIDEO. CONGRATULATIONS LEX I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

Okay sis, we see the commitment. Love this

Thank you this helped a lot i just restarted my island and now i have Sorbet! I feel like i didn’t really start it right so this will help so much!

This is the BEST video I’ve seen to start an island! Thank you so much! Well done 👍

IM A WEEK IN AND HAVE NO SHOVEL😭 this video was so helpful tho I was so far behind without knowing thank you!!

I’m on day three and I’m still in a tent and without a shovel🥲

AYE CONGRATS 🎉 i love the intro btw really simple but pretty

I started today bd this really helped tysm also I love your voice it’s very wierdly calming 😂😂

awww man -- I should have built on the beach!!! This was a great video - very helpful! Now I need to find a friend to invite!

1:03 omfg you got the same villagers as me

I just got mine today and i am so thankful i watched this video it really helped a lot! Tysm.^^

Thanks! I just started my island so this will help me a lot!

Every time I restart I do the beach thing! It saves so much money and really gives me time to terriform and plan. Once I have the villager I want I put their house in the spot designated for them

I made a second character for my island, named her Lexie after my best friend and she looks just like yours 🤭☺

i have never played animal crossing and this helped so much! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for the tips , just bought a yellow switch and animal crossing new horizon, can’t wait to play

The second day of playing animal crossing i reccomend buying the pro designer if your more into dressing up your charecter .And dont forget to shake all the trees and bring a couple of medicine with you and some tools. Also recommend getting the slingshot to pop the balloons that are tied to the gifts that come everyday

YESSSSS OMG THIS IS SO EXCITING HEHEHEHE OMGGGG

I just got ACNH today, so these were SUPER helpful. 🥳🤩 Thanks! 🤩 I also have Phoebe on my island.

I dont even have animal crossing or nintendo switch but your videos calm me so much ♡

I’m apparently watching your videos in reverse order. 😂 I love your videos a lot and I wanted to ask if you knew that you can bury $30,000 worth of bells and the tree will either grow $30,000 or $90,000! It doesn’t produce $90,000 bells every time but it does a few times a week (for me). This isn’t a tip that’s helpful until you’re farther along in the game but it’s one that I was told so I wanted to pass it on. ☺️

Just got mine today (it’s Christmas) I’m so excited it loading right noooow

just received this game for my bf to help with my mental health. Thank you for taking the time to post this upload, it's eased my anxiety and answered some of my questions

This is my exact map! I'm excited to see what you do with it!

why is no one talking about her sister's message at the end, it's so cute 🥺

That beach rock hits different

Thank you I just got my switch for Christmas and I got the game with it. I am really looking forward to upgrading my island.

Love it!! It’s so fun to hear your voice 😍

My Nan brought me this game today, and I’m a complete noob on what to do 🤣

I'm thinking of restarting my island because I suck and terraforming and I can't get my island the way I want it to be. I hate how best friends cant use the island designer app with you so if you have friends that are good at terraforming, you could tell them what you want done and they can do it for you. Terraforming, especially the water scaping tool, is so hard for me 😔

THIS RU-vidR IS AWSOME AND SOOO HELPFULL TYSM

Very help definitely going to bare this in mind when I start my next Island

Me: just got a switch and hasn’t even hooked it up yet, doesn’t even own animal crossing yet Also me: must watch for ✨ideas✨

Ah okay, I’ll invite my friend over also my friend: showers me in 1m bells *mission successfully failed*

Thx the idea with the wetsuit is sooo helpful

Thanks for all the great advice and a big shout out to Peaches! May the Force be with you, always!

THE FIRST VIDEO IS OUT WOOOOOO

i don’t want to restart because i don’t want to go through the process of getting terraforming again :(

Got a switch for Christmas... This video literally saved my life!!!

Thanks! I got the game today, and I'm kinda bored already, but I'm ready to sped time to try and get the game to a nice point where its fun to play
