Gulliver was in town today, and he again made a space reference to his UFO-piloting days in Wild World and City Folk.
I helped him out by recovering his five communicator pieces for him. He will send me a reward in the mail.
My frog race course is causing some problems for me. Two of my fossils today were buried in awkward places like this:
It wouldn’t let me dig them up diagonally, so I had to use the island designer app to fill in some water spots with land so that I could dig them up. I could avoid this problem by using certain types of paths (stone or wood) on those spaces, but I don’t want to do that. It wouldn’t really fit the theme of the frog race itself.
I suppose I could use an invisible pattern there… but that could cause a different problem: Kicking off the pattern during a race when trying to run. So I’ll just deal with the occasional inconvenience for now.
Nook’s Cranny had an arcade fighting game for sale, so I bought it…even though it cost an absurd 64,000 bells.
I put it in my arcade at the amusement park, replacing the dart board.
I’ve been noticing a number of blue pansies popping up, so I’ve decided to put them around Hornsby’s house. Even though he currently has pink cosmos around his house, that’s only because I mistakenly thought that was Midge’s house a while back. Oops. 😛 So Midge will now get those pink cosmos.
July is here now, so that means lots of new bugs are out! I caught and donated a horned dynastid, miyama stag, walking leaf, saw stag, cyclommatus stag, and earth-boring dung beetle. It’s weird seeing a dung beetle in the summer, even though it’s not the snowball-pushing kind.
I also caught a new fish, the Napoleonfish.
There are still more new creatures to catch, but the peak season is just beginning. It’s going to be a lucrative summer, and much museum progress will be made. 🦉
My third gold rose is budding, as are a bunch of new blue hyacinths.
That’s all for tonight, but the game update is coming tomorrow night! In less than 24 hours, I may be swimming for the first time! See you then!
I haven’t caught beetles yet and I still haven’t caught the elusive scorpion. Maybe I should play at night more often.
Yeah, I always enjoy Animal Crossing on summer nights. Lots of big bugs to catch. 🙂
I’m ready to start swimming in New Horizons now! I just completed my diving collection in New Leaf!
Congrats on completing the diving collection! Except now you have to start all over in New Horizons! 😂
Lol yeah it’ll be such fun.
Invisible paths or just design paths can’t be kicked up during multiplayer, so if the fossil spots get really annoying then you can always place invisible designs over, just remember to not kick them up while racing and you should be fine. I’m excited to swim on Fnf for the epic dive animation lol.
Visitors can’t kick them up, but I could, if I’m not careful. 😛 Yeah, it is an option, but I’ll just wait and see how often the fossils show up there. If it’s just occasionally, I probably won’t bother with the invisible patterns.
Hi Jeff! It’s my first time commenting! I always look forward to reading your blogs and enjoy all the hard work you put into your amazing videos and Forest. 😊
One thing I thought of for stopping fossils from appearing in your frog race area is to create a transparent design in the custom designs and laying it in each square. I am doing that to buffer the growth of flowers in my town and it preserves the natural look. Have a great rest of your week!
Hi Eric, and thank you! I may consider using transparent designs if the fossils keep showing up there too often. I hope you have a great week too!
