Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 48

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

A new day has begun, Nature Day is over, and to my surprise, something was actually announced today: A visitor at the campsite! Before I made my way over there, I emptied my mail of the random stuff I ordered plus a letter from Flurry.

Along the way, I also combed the beach and picked up more Star Fragments. I’m going to start carrying a Taurus one around until I show it to Celeste. I also had gotten 8 Pink Lolita Dresses to give out to some of my villagers. Since I know they can switch between multiple outfits, I thought it’d be fun.


The last three are reserved for Diana, Maple, and Peanut whenever I finally get them T__T Mira and Teddy could absolutely pull it off too, but I just love their current outfits a lot.

Also I love when I see them wearing cute designs… I need to set up another cute dress.

Leif was also here again… If I had Redd even just a fraction of the time at this point :(

My camper ended up being Olaf this time. Still not sure if I feel relieved or not each time. For once, I decided to try and talk to my campsite villager more to see if I could learn a new recipe.

He first offered a card game for a Mountain parka to guess the suit of a card– sadly, it was a Club and I guessed Heart. The second time, he offered a Snowglobe, but I turned him down as I already had one. He tried to hint on moving in so I didn’t bother talking to him further, but I pretty much declined his request. Really didn’t feel worth the paranoia, honestly :(

I then continued on my way to look for fossils and thankfully, they were all pretty close by again… and even right next to each other for the last two.

Cookie had only just gotten up and was crafting with a recipe I still didn’t know yet! I feel like a lot of people have it by now, but I was really excited to get it.

Besides that, honestly, not much else happened today. I visited a lot of friends to get new recipes and catalog things and I even have just 19 rugs left. I even got to stop at a friend of a friend’s for some art (so I should get a Moody painting in the mail tomorrow). I also let Mika take some of the flowers I wasn’t planning on keeping. I generally can’t stand crafting, but I find if the part I hate the most is gone (the resource management grind), it doesn’t bother me as much. Resource management and durability are just systems that stress me out which is the last thing I need in a relaxing game.

Similarly, I’ve always been awful at watering flowers. I actually never kept any flowers alive beyond Golden roses because I would get tired of watering them until New Leaf with the beautiful ordinance. But I don’t really mind watering for friends as I just enjoy being helpful, especially as I feel I can’t help as much in some other ways due to my… particular-ness with certain things. I don’t know if I’d have ever finished my Watering Nook Miles thing otherwise.

In that same vein, crafting for myself is just so draining. I hate resource grinding so much, but I love being able to craft things for friends and it’s part of why I have the crafting situation I do. And sure, it helps with Nook Miles too, but that honestly feels like a bonus if anything.

Speaking of crafting though, I have about 127 recipes left to go at the time of writing this post as far as I can tell. I don’t think you can actually permanently learn the construction kit recipes. Of the ones there, most of it involves Flower Crowns/Wreaths, Event stuff (like the wedding items), Seasonal stuff (From Winter with Snowboy and also balloons as well in Summer, Fall, and Winter I believe?), or items from Celeste. Exceptions are the Acoustic Guitar, Iron Armor, Iron Closet, Iron Shelf, Iron Worktable, Stacked Magazines, Straw umbrella hat, Wooden table, Wooden-block bench, and Wooden-plank sign which are all from Villagers, a handful from Cranky ones which I don’t have any. But then it’s just… waiting for the Seasons to turn.

Moving on to some other things, thanks to my Taurus fragment carrying plan, I finally had it with me when going to see Celeste. I really like her Zodiac tales.

I learned a new reaction from Mira: Disagreement.

Too bad I’ll never be able to nod thanks to Reactions requiring certain Vllager types :|

I also experimented with putting the Moon here. I don’t know if I’ll keep it there, but I kind of like it too.
