  • Update: We spent several hours learning about Treasure Islands, using Twitch may be better but far too many hoops to jump through for me. The Pange Plays website is easier. The biggest problem for me was it made the game too easy, it may be OK if all I wanted to do is decorate an island to impress others. Maybe if you needed something like fish bait, but then they have fish you can donate, why fish if you can just grab what you need. The free islands I listed do not have art work or items you purchase but everything else. It was interesting, just need to be patient, other players are always coming or leaving. We are restarting my island again, my favorite time in the game is the first day, not having anything but lots of ideas and challenges. It is nice to know about Treasure Islands, and I do not see it any different than people visiting other islands to get free stuff.














  • Weather Seeds show the exact times for shooting stars, as well as rain, and other weather conditions. We use it mostly for shooting stars, likewise if we know there will be shooting stars we can look for Celeste to get star related diys. Celeste is not there every time there are shooting stars. Knowing when it will be raining helps with getting bugs and the rain fish.

    At one time we only used time travel for short periods, now we leave the Switch stay there for weeks at a time. We keep the same day of the week, and time of day, just a different starting date.


  • Interesting, we just got Avery, our 10th villager today. I restart my Southern Hemisphere island often, I really like the first couple days on a new island. The last 3 islands we Timed Travelled to the first week of January to start, it is a great time for a Southern Hemisphere island, great fishing and lots of bugs.

    ACNH is the only game we play, so setting the clock to January does not create any problems. We may time travel within the same day to meet our schedule but do not do any serious time travel until we get the beautify ordinance. We found that most times our Southern Hemisphere island will get shooting stars in early January, so at night I may use a cheap, less than $10 HDMI video capture card and record several hours of the night sky to watch later and get the weather seed as soon as posssible after an island restart. Tomorrow the Beautify Ordinance goes in effect and we will work on the fish and bugs first to fill the museum. We don’t always finish the museum, some times it may need 1 or two fossils or a statue we can not get.



  • About 2 years ago my wife was able to get blue roses in about 60 days, it was Northern Hemisphere during the snow season. We tried using the same method at the same time in the Southern Hemisphere (summer) but did not do as good and finally gave up. She was extra careful to make sure she did not mix flowers, kept them well isolated. She did not allow them together until step 4, then she kept all the step 4 hybrid red roses together. It took up a lot of room isolating each pair to make sure they did not cross bred with the wrong flower. Each step she planted a new seed flower. We had flowers everywhere, every time we got a hybrid we moved it to a different spot and planted a seed flower next to it. If the pair produced anything other than the desired hybrid flower, it was trashed so not to get them mixed.

    I pretty sure this is the method she used:

    Step 1 : Seed White + Seed White = Purple

    Step 2 : Purple from Step 1 + Seed Red = Pink

    Step 3 : Pink from previous step + Seed Yellow = Hybrid Red

    Step 4 : Hybrid Red from previous step + Hybrid Red from previous step = blue
