If you have multiple people living on an island, is there a convenient list of what the "main" player can do that other players can't? Thinking this could be a fun quarantine game for my girlfriend and I, but if the other residents have a more limited experience I'd like to know up front. She doesn't really play games but is open to trying, so I want to put a "Here's what this would be" pitch together.

Zutaten posted:I asked the same question earlier and couldn't find any definitive answer so until proven otherwise I am operating under New Leaf 3DS rules where the first player is the "mayor" and the only one who can place/relocate buildings and order bridges/stairs/major projects. 2nd-8th players just get control of their own house. But it does seem like anyone and everyone can place furniture outside and unlock the terraforming at least! Thanks! In the past could the other players do stuff like make designs, add to the museum, buy stuff from the store/add to the catalogue? Or were they stuck kinda using whatever player 1 did?

Thanks for the answers everyone! I kinda thought I had my fill of the series after playing a ton of New Leaf, but it's crazy how much the last week or so have made me want to get into this. Lube Enthusiast posted:

Question for folks who are playing already: does looking at/deciding to buy stuff in the store still take like a dozen boxes of dialogue each? I remember that was one of the things that ultimately drove me from New Leaf, buying/eating/redeeming the daily two fortune cookies ended up being 40 boxes of dialogue every time or something absurd like that.

Rabelais D posted:There's so many unskippable dialogue prompts it's crazy, like each time I want to show Tom nook something or use his bench I have to press extra buttons and wait for no reason. Maybe I shouldn't expect time-saving convenience in a time-sink genre? Ugh, I hated that in New Leaf. It actually counteracts the chill when I get annoyed at mashing through identical dialogue anytime I want to check the price on something

Someone on Reddit said that only the "main" villager can donate to Blathers... Is that true? Kind of a bummer but I guess the other person can give the bugs to me for me to donate? Seymour Buttz posted:There’s actually way less unavoidable repeat dialogue in this game compared to the previous ones, and they’ve added so many time savers. Like I‘m thrilled with how quickly I can enter and exit buildings. Before, every time you entered or exited a building there was unavoidable talking from the person inside. This is really great to hear! I mentioned earlier that unskippable dialogue is probably the main thing that burnt me out on New Leaf.

DACK FAYDEN posted:While I don't know, I do know that in local coop there's only one person that can pick up items but you can switch that person at the press of a button. Might be worth trying that to see if you can donate if you're not the "main" villager. Thanks! As an update, the person who originally posted said after they played another day, both players were able to donate to the museum.

I have a question about online play... This is my Switch, with my Nintendo Account and an individual Nintendo Online plan. I made my girlfriend a user profile that isn't linked to an account, since she doesn't play games on her own, but she's enjoying Animal Crossing, and you need a separate profile to make a Villager. If she wants to visit other people's islands and have people come visit her Villager, can I link her profile to my Nintendo Account so both her profile and mine are on the same account? Or would I need to purchase a family plan for our two accounts?

Republicans posted:Is there usually some kind of limit on how many fruit trees you can grow? For some reason this clump has stayed in the nursery stage while the others are growing. When I was googling tree info earlier I read something about how the game won't let you grow trees in a grid like that, the rows need to be offset so the trees aren't perfectly aligned vertically. Your outside borders seem fine so I dunno how accurate that is, but maybe give it a try? So like TxTxT xxxxx xTxTx Instead of what you have now which is TxTxT xxxxx TxTxT

Sydin posted:"Alright a couple pieces of wooden furniture, simple enough. Looks like I'll need about 30 wood total." I'm regretting being a sane person and not chopping every single tree my first few days. My biggest overall complaint so far is that there's only one music track until the town really opens up. I would be approaching this game super chill otherwise, but now I'm grinding the gently caress out of these early requirements just to get the real soundtrack.

homeless snail posted:I don't know why you'd think its a bug, its a deliberate thing, New Leaf did it too. It just takes forever to sync in a new player, maybe they can patch that but I wouldn't bet on it Yeah I think it's a function of how the game engine works. It pauses and reloads the town when you call in a fellow Villager locally from the same island as well, and it's probably the reason only one person can access their inventory or even collect things locally (whatever the other players pick up gets warped to the recycle bin)

Is there a way to put stuff back in your pockets from the home organizer view? As far as i can tell you can just move it to storage, unless I'm missing something. Just a minor inconvenience but if there's a prompt I'm missing I'd rather learn now to save myself a billion clicks over the life of this game.

GoodBee posted:Any time I've time travelled in an Animal Crossing game, I pretty much quit playing right away. It ruined new leaf for me because I allowed my ocd tendencies to take over so if I missed a day I would make myself play each day that I missed in one binge sitting because what if I missed some neat furniture or clothes or what if that's the day I could have stopped my friend from moving away

Shinjobi posted:Just for confirmation: if you're the 2nd resident on the same switch, you're not really able to take point on improving the island? I'm just now getting to blathers initial 15, and my wife wanted to know if she could also assist. I'm sure she'll be able to donate to the museum itself, but I know I had to be the one to get blathers on the island initially. It seems to vary. The second person can't give the initial five to Nook, but they can contribute to the initial fifteen to Blathers. I don't think they can give the shop materials to the kid either, but they can harvest them and give them to you.

From there you can save the photo and do whatever with it. If you don't want the images to go on your timeline, either save the photo and then delete the tweet, or create a burner Twitter account that's just for posting Switch photos.

Most of the recipes player one has gotten from Tom Nook early on can be bought from the Nook kids. But I just got a ton of recipes for putting the housing plots together (flower wreath, orange fruit furniture, etc) and they aren't there. Is there any way for my other villager players to get those?

Is there an easy way to get stuff off the walls or into your pockets in decoration mode? Unless I'm missing a button prompt it seems like all I can do is put it into storage and then grab it from there.

My house in New Leaf was on a nice little alcove in a riverbend and then this guy parked himself about ten feet away, completely ruining my vibe and making me walk around his house any time I went to or from my own home. This was five years ago and I still remember.

Just opened the Clothing Shop and the Town Hall on the same day and wow it feels like the whole game just opened up. So much to do, so much to buy. So many clothes! The fitting room lets you browse any color scheme for the items on sale even if they're not on display! I just dumped like 50k bells and filled up my storage. Am I right that some of these clothes like the gingham shirt are just always in stock?

Nook miles question: there's some items (street light, cotton candy booth) where you can directly buy the item with miles, but not the recipe. Is the recipe available elsewhere, or is buying with miles the only way to get those?

I liked how the "bunny day" was spread out over a few weeks, because sometimes it's just not feasible for me to play games for an hour or so on a holiday. But it sounds like there's still a unique one day only thing at the end of this festival?

Mordiceius posted:Another fun fact about this bunny day stuff - Primary residents get a mail notifying the start of bunny day with a recipe enclosed. Secondary residents don't know anything about the day until they talk to the bunny. Also no free recipe. Weirdly it worked backwards for me: I didn't get anything in the mail as primary villager, but my girlfriend who's secondary got a letter from Zipper with a recipe. She played after I did too, so it's not a "who logged in first" thing.
