Superstar Designer

Yesterday, C.J. was in town with a seasports challenge for me. He wanted me to catch some big-time fish, so I caught a carp, a black bass, and a tilapia. I then grabbed 15 fish out of storage, and C.J. paid me 155,700 bells for them all.

Today, Gullivarrr was on the beach, and I went diving to retrieve his communicator for him. I also found a scallop, which prompted Pascal to pop up and ask me for it. He also questioned why “rasp” isn’t a color. πŸ˜›

Pascal: Blueberries are blue and blackberries are black, so how come I can't buy rasp-colored shorts, maaan?

For the first time since “beating” the Happy Home Paradise DLC, I went to Lottie’s Island and chose to design another vacation home. I ran into Boyd the gorilla at the restaurant, and he said he’d like to work with heavy equipment.

Boyd, at the Happy Home Paradise restaurant: I want to work with totally heavy equipment! Safely...
I low how “safely” is just an afterthought. πŸ˜›

I chose a previously unused location, where a fountain can be seen in the background. I’d like to imagine this is a new Animal Crossing town, still under construction. I used all three suggested construction vehicles out here: the excavator, bulldozer, and steamroller. Boyd’s house is yellow with a green roof, just like a banana. 🍌 πŸ˜›

If you’re wondering about the lone tiger butterfly, Niko gave it to me as a gift from Nat. I was able to release it to make a living decoration out of it. πŸ˜›

Indoors, I used a construction-site wall and construction-site flooring. I added another steamroller inside; it’s a must for any house! πŸ˜‰ I also gave him a bed, a portable toilet, a utility sink, a couple of chairs, and a few other simple amenities. He seemed to enjoy it!

Back at the office, Lottie gave me another promotion: I’m now a Superstar Designer! That included a pay raise, as I now get paid 20,000 Poki for vacation homes.

Oh yeah! I'm a Superstar Designer! I have truly ARRIVED!

Lottie surprised me even further, and this may be a slight spoiler. So if you don’t want to be spoiled by this, you may want to skip the rest of this entry. So leave now, blah blah blah, okay. Gone now? She suggested that we should add a gallery to the cafe, which will be on another floor. I never even knew there was such a thing! I’m not sure when I’ll actually work on it, though. πŸ˜†

I went over to the hospital to donate half of today’s earnings to a future expansion. However, I’m still 69,000 Poki away from my goal. That expansion won’t be coming anytime soon. πŸ˜› Hope there aren’t any patients dying to get in!

Enjoy your weekend, everyone! See you next time! πŸ™‚

  1. Hi Jeff! Remember me? We had quite a long back-and-forth conversation over the summer (Bug Hunting Season 2022)! Well, I regret to inform you that even after seeing D.J. K.K.’s performance on the North Beach, you have not β€œbeat” Happy Home Paradise. The Final achievement, Legendary Designer, comes at 40 vacation homes, and offers a new NookPhone App and a pay raise to 30,000 Poki. Good luck reaching this achievement!

    1. Yes, hi Michael! Oh dear…it may take me a while to design nine more houses. It’s tedious, but I’m sure I’ll do it eventually. πŸ˜› Thanks!

  3. Hi!! I just discovered your youtube channel and I admire the persistence with which you play animal crossing since the game was released, I could never spend so much time perfecting my island xD and I have questions: since the first game have you played animal crossing everyday?? (I suppose not because that would be impossible) but seeing how often you upload videos and blogs I guess you play at least two games a day. Have there been times when you have left your island for weeks and reasons why you came back? or have you forever and ever played every day with some rare days when you don’t? I’m just curious. Seriously, Nintendo should reward you for your persistence in all the games, sorry if you didn’t understand the comment well, I’m from Spain and I used google translator, good blog, Never stop crossing!!

    1. Hi, and thank you! I don’t play every game every day, but I play most of the games at least once a week. (And I haven’t missed a day of playing New Horizons yet.)

      I may have had a (slightly) longer break from the GameCube game back before I started making videos or the blog, but I’m not sure how long it was. I’ve been playing pretty consistently for a long time. Never Stop Crossing! πŸ™‚

  4. Next time you go to Paradise Island, buys some souvenir chocolate and give it to one of your neighbors. Just be sure it’s someone you really like, though (like Static, Agent S, or Rio)- you’ll see why.
