Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Tuesday, Wardell told me that I can place a special order from his catalog. Apparently, I can order any items that I use for designing homes? It seems to let you choose any color variation of each item from the start, so that is helpful.

Update: His prices are in Poki after all, not bells, as I first thought. Sorry about the mistake if you saw this entry when I first posted it.

Yesterday, I posted a new video. I turned my castle into an Animal Crossing museum, highlighting some features and special characters that were introduced in each game. It’s a short video, so I hope you’ll give it a watch.

I also updated the dream version of Forest, so that you can check out the museum yourself by visiting dream address 6717-1633-3682.

I recently got my first two packs of Series 5 amiibo cards, and this is who I got:

• Pack 1: Harvey, Marlo, Reneigh, Rio, Quinn, Frett
• Pack 2: Niko, Sasha, Shino, Chabwick, Tiansheng, Zoe

I got some good cards! And almost as if on cue, Admiral surprised me by telling me he wanted to move out of town. I never really wanted him in Forest to begin with, and I’ve already received his photo, so I had no qualms about letting him go after just three months.

Niko has taught me how to make marble pillars and island counters, and then gold pillars/counters as well. I have now learned all of Niko’s D.I.Y. recipes.

Today, I went in to say goodbye to Admiral. Good luck wherever you end up, Admiral!

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town, but he didn’t have any art that I needed. So I bought another fake ancient statue for my collection. 😛

Sasha was telling me how much he enjoys spring. He described it as “green fall.” 😛

I’ll be scanning a Series 5 amiibo card tomorrow, so I should be getting a new villager soon! 🙂

On Saturday, C.J. was in town for the spring fishing tournament. I participated, but only long enough for a single round. I caught five fish, which earned me a total of seven points.

I then redeemed some points for a fish-print tee.

When I checked my mail, I was surprised to find three letters from Lottie. She sent me photos of all three Able Sisters!

Their favorite quotes are as follows:

• Sable: Keep working and the water mill won’t freeze.
• Mabel: A stitch in time saves nine… more stitches.
• Label: Ask for a hammer, and you’ll get a needle.

I also got a tam-o–shanter in the mail from Gulliver.

Yesterday (April 10th) was a dark day. Zipper T. Demon has returned from the dead!

He has unleashed his evil fury in the form of an egg plague. Eggs now show up everywhere in town, and they’re nearly impossible to avoid. Be careful out there!

K.K. Slider was also in town (on Sunday night instead of Saturday, due to the fishing tourney). He performed K.K. Steppe for me, Apollo, and Hornsby.

Today, I found Ketchup enjoying some coffee at the Roost. To my surprise, she said she was in the process of slamming down half a dozen cups of coffee! That sounds like a lot for such a small duck!

I also spent some time tonight trying to craft a number of DIY recipes that I haven’t made yet. Since I can use craftable items in Happy Home Paradise vacation homes, this will give me more options for future designs.

Out on Lottie’s Island, Niko taught me how to make steel pillars and island counters. And Lottie introduced me to the new ABD, which can dispense both bells and Poki. I can even exchange the two currencies, with a variable exchange rate that changes each day.

I didn’t exchange any currency today, but it’s nice to have the option. After I donated more materials to Niko, I wrapped up my game for the night.

Barring any problems, I’ll have a short new video coming up tomorrow. See you next time!

Yesterday, Lottie sent me Pavé’s photo in the mail. His favorite quote on the back is “There is no right or wrong. There is only Pavé.” That’s the same quote he used in New Leaf.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked at the north beach, but he didn’t have any art that I needed for the museum. Still, I bought myself a (fake) ancient statue, just because I think it would be cool to have an army of the little guys.

Today, I went out to work on Lottie’s Island. Lottie was speaking with Niko, when Lottie suddenly had to be evacuated due to a medical emergency. No, really!

Wilbur flew her out to a hospital somewhere, and Niko took over at the main desk of Paradise Planning. The good news is that I could still work; the bad news is that I couldn’t find my own client. I was forced to design a vacation home for Knox the chicken.

His theme was “Castle of the Noble Knight.” I picked out a location where he could have a moat around his castle. Unfortunately, that didn’t leave much space for the castle itself. 😛

Indoors, I used the slate flooring and rustic-stone wall. I gave Knox a throne, a stonework kitchen, two guards (plate armor), and some golden elegant furniture that was fit for a king.

By the time I finished, Lottie was already back at the office. She said she ate something at the celebration party that disagreed with her. But let me tell you a little secret: I was at that party, and she didn’t eat a thing! All she did was drink, drink, drink! 😛 Anyway, the big drunk paid me 15,000 Poki for my work. 😂

Back in Forest, I found Gulliver washed up on the beach. I recovered his communicator parts for him. Celeste was also in town tonight, and she gave me five star fragments.

Later tonight, after making my rounds, I returned to Lottie’s Island. I was finally able to work for the client of my choice: Label. So I scanned Labelle’s amiibo card to summon Label. She informed me that her sisters would also be using the vacation house, but I didn’t let that deter me from my plans.

I picked out a scenic location, but I didn’t do much to the yard.

My plan for this project was to make GracieGrace. City Folk-era GracieGrace, to be specific…when it was Labelle, not Gracie, running the shop. I used the dark parquet flooring and stately wall to make it look like the upscale shop that it is. I put some clothing and accessories on display, as well as some high-end furniture. That elegant furniture from Knox’s castle came in handy!

I’m quite pleased with how it turned out! Do you like it? If you’d like to refresh your memory of the ACCF shop, check this out.

Back at the office, Lottie paid me another 15,000 Poki for my work.

Have a great weekend, everyone! See you all next time! 🙂
