Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Tuesday, I spotted six villagers in the plaza at once! That’s pretty unusual for a non-event day. Four of them (Louie, Ketchup, Static, and Apollo) were singing, while Bones was exercising and Agent S was just passing through.

Hamlet the hamster was camping out at the campsite. I’ve had him in New Leaf before and I like him, but I didn’t invite him to my island.

Wisp was in town, and he gave me a washbasin when I returned his spirits.

I’ve been spending more time working on my house lately, and ordering/customizing items. Cyrus has never had so much business before. 😂 I’ve never done a proper house tour video for New Horizons, so I think it’s time. I may be able to record a tour over the weekend. Then I’ll have at least one house tour video for all five main Animal Crossing games.

Today, I found a lost item (a book) on the ground. I returned it to its owner, Sasha, and he rewarded me with a dolly.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a formal outfit. She gave me a cafe uniform as an example, but I decided to go even more formal than that. I put on a vibrant tuxedo, a top hat, and some loafers. I also took off my sword. 😛 When I returned to Label, she said my outfit was perfectly coordinated.

She rewarded me with some Labelle sneakers (and two tailors tickets, which I’ll get in the mail tomorrow). For now, I decided to keep the tuxedo on, even if I have no legitimate reason to do so. 😂 I’m all dressed up with nowhere to go. 😛 But it looks nice, and it’s something different, so why not?

I’ll be back with another entry soon. Hope to see you then! 🙂

At first glance yesterday, I briefly thought I was witnessing a glitch: I thought I saw a fish shadow…on the grass!

But it was just the shadow of my balloon. 😂 Maybe I need to get my fish-eye lens checked out. 😉

One of the Nooklings’ hot items was a forbidden altar. Since I have a lot of stones in storage that I don’t necessarily need to keep, I got a bunch of them out and crafted forbidden altars out of them. Each one takes 30 stones, so it’s a quick way to clean out unnecessary stones (and profit from them). They sold for 9,000 bells apiece.

Today, the Nooklings had a throne for sale! It was red, and I thought it would look good in my bedroom. So I got a king’s ransom out of storage and bought it!

When I took it home, it gave me a reason to finally do a little redecorating. I moved some things around, and I decided that the Leo sculpture on the wall actually looked pretty cool with my throne. I dressed up like a king, but apparently I’m just a pirate king, because I don’t have a complete king outfit. 😂

As I was working, I earned a whopping 5,000 Nook Miles for completing the Hoard Reward achievement. You get it for having 150 pieces of furniture in your house.

I moved all of my villager photos to my left room. I crafted some low marble island counters to display my special character photos (except for the ones I’m using in my Animal Crossing museum castle), and a few other miscellaneous items. At least this room finally has a purpose!

I may make some more minor changes to my house in the coming days too.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked on the north beach, but he didn’t have any art that I needed. However, I did buy a hanger rack just to have it in my catalog.

See you next time!

I cleaned up my extra D.I.Y. recipes today, but the Nooklings had something interesting to say about one of them. They called the festive wrapping paper recipe “extremely valuable,” and they asked if I really wanted to sell it. But despite being so valuable, they still only offered 200 bells for it. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Safari. Louie, Ketchup, and Marina were also at the show.

Here’s some cool art that Jac left on the bulletin board last night:

I went out to Lottie’s Island to work a shift at Paradise Planning. Winnie wanted to build a stable that raises fast horses. Unfortunately, the available items didn’t give me much to work with. The only horses I could add were the springy ride-on horse or the rocking horse. I just decided to make a track where the horses could race. But I couldn’t even use paths to make a dirt track, so I just made a separate area with log benches as a divider.

Indoors, I was able to use a racetrack flooring, and I also used a rice-paddy wall. I used the new “fields” soundscape, and I again added some horses to race.

Lottie paid me 15,000 Poki for my work. She then informed me that Niko has put up some scaffolding on the north beach, in preparation of the big concert finale.

See you all next time!
