New Year’s Day 2022

Today is New Year’s Day, and my villagers all had dialogue related to the start of the new year. Eloise said that starting a new year is like pressing a restart button. I’m sure Resetti would strongly disagree with that outlook. 😉

Eloise: Starting a new year is like pressing a giant restart button! And we all deserve a fresh start, darling.

And Louie was looking forward to some new muscle soreness in the new year. Oof.

Louie: Feels weird saying this out loud, but I'm pretty psyched for this year's muscle soreness, oh banana!
It’s weird written in text, too.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed a song called K.K. Lovers for me and Apollo.

After the show, I flew out to Lottie’s island to do a little work. Claude was on the island, and he wanted a vacation home that was a “home game hideaway.” Or a home arcade, basically.

This time, I had the chance to decorate the outside of the house too. But I didn’t really do much; I added some trees and rocks, and that’s about it.

But indoors, I gave him a variety of arcade games, a gaming desk, a pinball machine, and three crane games all customized with a different theme. I used the club wall for the wallpaper, and some rubber-tile flooring.

I earned 6,000 Poki for the job, and I bought myself a small LED display for 3,800 Poki. It’s basically an animated sign board, so that’s pretty awesome. 🙂

I also unlocked the Happy Home Network app, which lets me review the houses I’ve designed so far. Except that Olivia’s house doesn’t have a screenshot associated with it, so I can only look at the one house I just made. 😂 The app is pretty useless at this point, but I’m sure that will change once I do some more work.

One last note about last night: I forgot to lead everyone to the area where I have a bunch of free recipes lying on the beach. Oops! Guess I’ll be leaving them there for a while until next time (whenever that may be).

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all have a great 2022! 🙂
