Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 61: Museum Stamp Rally!

Twitch 1Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

Isabelle let us know about the Stamp Rally for International Museum Day so after quickly checking a few things along the way (and dealing with more fossil pain), I made my way to the museum.


I quickly got to work.





And then made my way back to Blathers.



And our reward: Three lovely wall plagues:

As excited as I was, for the event, I’ll admit it felt a bit underwhelming in some regards. For one, there’s 10 Bug Stamp areas, 9 Fish Stamp areas, and 7 Fossil Stamp areas that three of each are randomly selected from each day. Personally, I think it would’ve been better to have all of them out and people could either do all of them one day or it could even be stretched out a few days. Maybe you even had to visit others if you wanted to get it all done in one day versus waiting a bit.

I also would’ve loved to actually keep our stamp cards in some way/still get to see them as a kind of achievement thing, but it just… is quickly over with. And while you can repeat the event each day, it’s the same rewards after getting three and you could even get all the exact same locations the next day. And while the rewards are nice, they aren’t something I would ever need more than one of.

I just wish they made it a grander thing. I also wish they advertised it more as a “It starts today but you have until the end of the month to do it” over making it feel like there was something new to do each day instead of the same thing and then going through the exact same dialogue to turn in each card.

I’m also surprised the Art wing wasn’t part of this considering it was added in the same update. I’m hoping to at least see each stamp thing once, but honestly, I’m already tired of a lot of the repeatable dialogue of it. I love listening to Blathers tell me new things, but the same thing over and over sucks (Such as him telling me the museum already has the fossils I assess which I already know because the Fossil area is finished!!).

As a side note, I noticed that the Museum Stamp Rally wasn’t even mentioned on the bulletin board. It feels like the board is rarely used and between that and the lack of Isabelle announcing special visitors or even certain things every time (Not everyone gets told when they are having a meteor shower…) is really weird and disappointing.

Moving on, Phil taught me a new emotion to express part of how I’ve been feeling lately because I guess the sigh from Diana wasn’t enough:

I also added a few more things to the viewing area.

And also still can’t understand where these seats come from. (Leif was also here, clearly)

The big goal of the day though, after finishing with the Stamp Rally, was figuring out just how many flowers I need. I felt like I made good progress and should be pretty close to being done. I wouldn’t have to deal with anymore breeding then or fossils growing in my tiny little garden plot. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Very very wrong.

When I added up the numbers, my heart completely dropped and I felt overwhelmingly discouraged. This was not a good sign:
Pink Lily: 91
Pink Windflower: 96
Pink Hyacinth: 184
Pink Rose: 143
Pink Tulip: 1
Pink Mum: 2
Pink Cosmos: 13

I thought I was done with Tulips, Mums, and Cosmos. I also thought I had about a third left of what Lily, Windflower, and Rose were at with Hyacinth maybe closer to 100– not 200.

In the end though, some very kind people with an abundance of pink flowers were actually kind enough to let me have some and the numbers dropped significantly:
Pink Lily: 26
Pink Windflower: 48
Pink Hyacinth: 135
Pink Rose: 21

I think the flower I need to focus the most on though are the Pink Hyacinths. So many blank spaces are set for them which not only makes finding weeds and fossils more difficult as less spaces appear for them to spawn in, but it’s also possible some of the other counts may be off. Unfortunately, I still really lack the breeding space.

To end the night off, I ended up running into Wisp again.

The next entry may be a combination of parts. I haven’t been feeling well this week (and thus, haven’t been playing much either). Right now there’s just a lot of waiting and hoping and not much I can do. I hate that it feels like I’ve run out of things to do in New Horizons so much faster than I did in New Leaf, but that seems to be the case.

I just hope I can get the 2 Pagodas, Moai Statue, and 3 Dala Horses soon so I can at least finish the outside decorations. I still feel so stressed out about getting all of that properly set up that I can’t focus on decorating my house :/

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 60

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

A new day had begun and once again, my villagers call me out.

I know how you feel, Marina.

I quickly headed off to check on Diana. She hung up the Iron Doorplate and her house is all set up now.

I then popped over to a friend’s town for some shooting star wishes.

Back over in Pink Sea, Diana, despite having only been here for a day and a half, decided to teach me a brand new reaction. That was kind of a heavy description for it, but I guess that’s what I need right now.

I also stopped by a friend’s Southern Hemisphere town in hopes of shaking our some acorns and pine cones. Unfortunately, the drop rates are awful. There were leaves falling around so I managed to catch a few, but just like the acorns and pine cones, they seemed relatively rare. Even worse than cherry blossoms were originally. The only Fall thing that seems to show up rather well are the mushrooms and even then, I haven’t heard good things on some of them.

Finally, I went to a friend’s town to catalog some things along with getting photos of Audie and Alfonso. I want to try and figure out something to do with the photos of villagers who have moved away. Unfortunately, all my ideas so far would give off the idea that they died and I’d rather not have that. I hope to eventually figure something out.

The big surprise though were her brand new trees.

New Leaf also had people hacking things towards the end to do things with their town that just wasn’t possible with Animal Crossing’s restrictions (such as putting rocks or flowers in the river). Some people made amazing things. And these trees absolutely look really pretty, but I don’t think it’s something I’d ever be comfortable having. It’s a complicated subject since they don’t harm anyone and I can think of tons of things I would do, and heck, how much better my town would be, if I could make all my waterfalls without the large amount of tiers and restrictions on what needs to be around it as that cut into A LOT of my available space and is part of why so many things didn’t work out how I wanted them to.

But despite that, I still don’t think I’d be able to do it even if someone told me they could. It’s just decorative, but it just wouldn’t feel right to me.

Anyway, I finally managed to get everything into the “things I need to catalog” list so that was nice. Next maybe I can finally count the flower specifics and work on my house, but at the very least, the Stamp Rally is tomorrow and that’s pretty exciting.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 59

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

Despite inviting her and the sold plot, I still never consider it a sure thing until I can check the next day with all the glitches going around so Isabelle confirming that we do have a new friend on the island that is, indeed, Diana definitely helped ease my anxieties about it. We also apparently had a visitor at our campsite too, but priorities first: Visiting Diana. Her house was certainly real and thankfully, she really was there.

I just have to find Maple and Peanut now… But first, I headed to the airport to mail Diana the doorplate I had been saving for her. I have three other gifts for her so I’ll be slowly mailing them out until I can actually gift her directly.

I also spent some time working on Flurry’s yard a little more.

Since she’s into nature and literally has a pet Hamster, I really her yard to reflect similar interests.

Meanwhile, I had books in my Nook’s Cranny today which was great as I could craft some of the recipes I hadn’t yet.

While doing our usual fossil hunt, I stopped in at my campsite to see our camper, but I’m still too paranoid to talk to them.

But then frustration hit.

This wasn’t even the only awful weed location I had to deal with today. As more spaces get filled, fossils and weeds pick more finnicky places and I even had a fossil in my little breeding garden again and I just… I want to get all the flowers I need ASAP because this stresses me out immensely. I’m so… specific on how things should look and where things should be and so anytime that gets disturbed, it hits me deeply.

In general, I’ve been struggling with the game a lot between feeling like a failure progress-wise (even when I know that is not the case), certain random/repetitive tasks that feel worse than in prior games, and the feeling of nothing coming out right. I feel incredibly demoralized and the only time I really am enjoying myself in any sense is when I can help others out. Except I can barely do that. I don’t keep items on-hand to catalog, I’m so stressed out and overwhelmed that I have trouble keeping track of things to send out (and only being able to do two a day just adds onto that frustration), I am the worst when it comes to flowers and watering and have none of my flowers even really near each other to breed for others and picking them makes me anxious, I can’t play the market, I suck at earning bells, I am beyond burnt out on resource management, and I can’t even do most “normal” AC things because the idea of breaking even more tools is just too exhausting for me at this point.

So all I can really do is craft, but only if people have the material for me to craft. And even then, with all my recipes, I still don’t even have everything there to really do much. And while some of it I’m fine not having like the Wedding stuff or Golden tool recipes I haven’t earned yet or really any from time traveling, ones that maybe I could get if I had a second town with a different hemisphere do not sit as well for me.

So much of this game just hits differently– not even just the game itself and its mechanics, but the community too. I know so many great and generous people, but the crazy prices in some places, large entry fees (or even in general), and what people tend to ask for, it just kind of baffles me. There are people who can easily work through those things. I’m not one of them.

I never felt a rush to get the art from Redd for my museum. I never felt so impatient to wait for items from Gulliver or while working on my catalog. Yet here I just want it all done. I just want all my flowers and town set up how I want it to be. I want my dream villagers. I want to stop having to constantly worry about everything.

I want to just be able to focus on helping people and any new events without feeling like I’m 10 feet below everyone else.

It’s hard to put into words just how complicated my feelings are with the game, but the only thing I feel lately is I just wish I was done and my only goals were working on Nook Miles (which I’m barely even looking forward to as they’re even more grindy than some of the New Leaf badges were), waiting for new events, and helping others out.

Ignoring my eternal breakdown over the game, I spent some time working on other areas.

I recently noticed the Secret-Hidden-Grove is technically missing Pear and Apple trees in the main grove area, but you can technically see them right above so I’m not sure if I should switch some cherry ones out or not. I’d just add them if I could put trees closer, but alas, I can not.

Going back around, I had gotten a nice letter from Cookie thanking me for the tiara.

I also stopped by a friend’s giveaway.

For my 10 items, I ended up getting a Mush lamp, Hyacinth lamp, 40 Nook Miles tickets, Harp, a Fossil, a Royal Crown, and a Common Painting. Of them, I was most excited for the painting, but it was all nice things.

The highlight for the day though was the giant crafting party over at Meg’s. We extended from flowers to just pretty much everything and it was fun just getting to craft a lot of things without the constant stress of resources. I even got to make tons of things I hadn’t crafted yet plus recolor some things I had never gotten a chance to.

It was the first time I think I truly had fun in a while.

The day finished off with a K.K. Slider concert of course. I’m not particularly big on most of his songs and at this point, the only song I still need is K.K. Birthday which I can’t get until my birthday, but I do still need to attend a concert each week for the Nook Miles thing so…

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 58

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

So, I had been planning to do island hunting today, but in perfect timing, Diana announced she wanted to move yesterday which meant she would be in boxes today so I quickly high-tailed it over there.

I did check my mail quickly first though. For once, it was rather empty, but I did have a very sweet letter from Merengue.

I also couldn’t resist double-checking the Zen Garden and the rock finally placed!! I may redo the order though…

Once I got back, I quickly headed to make sure the plot was properly sold. I can’t help but be paranoid at this point.

Most of my time playing today, I actually spent it at Meg’s doing ~*EXTREME FLOWER CRAFTING*~. I managed to make nearly every single wreath and crown which was really nice.

She had tiaras for sale at her Able Sister’s so I took the time to buy some for my villagers too.

Sadly, I accidentally gave Cookie the wrong hat as Flurry had given me a hat as a thank you and I mixed them up… so I mailed it off to her instead.

Regardless, I also set up Diana’s yard. I’m more or less happy with it, but may switch the Purple Rose on the table to something else for more contast, but I do kind of like it so we’ll see.

Now to just hope it all works out.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 57

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

Isabelle let us know for sure that Alfonso will be leaving tomorrow. It always makes me sad when they leave honestly. On a brighter note, I received the K. Funk from a friend so I an officially done! I just have K.K. Birthday left and I’ll be getting that when July rolls around.

Fossil hunting went oddly and it probably will continue to as I slowly have less spots for them to even spawn. I did, however, get a rock in the grove after all which was nice.

I also made sure to see Alfonso off as this would be his last day in Pink Sea.

I stopped by Filia City again and managed to get the final beetle this time. And then it was Winter and I really can’t say enough how much I love the Winter green colors and all the snow.

I also stopped by towns for some visits and to do some crafting and trading. There’s so much more I wish I could’ve done. And a lot of pattern ideas I’d have loved to do myself, but just have no space to.

Thanks to some nice people, I finally got enough Gold Nuggets to make the Robot Hero. And bought 350 Customization kits to make it in each color for the catalog.

I had no plans to keep it and if my husband didn’t still want it, I probably would’ve just stole it, but I’m glad I at least took a picture for posterity.

Finally, I managed to get Alfonso a nice new home. I’m glad he’s going to someone who will take care of him.

If anyone reading this is interested in Phil or Margie, let me know. I’ll be keeping an eye out for when they want to move.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 56

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

Today’s initial goal was double-checking. I still had things to add to lists (and it’s thankfully so much less laggy), I had stuff to double check from things I’ve crafted, and there was just a lot to do so before I booted it up, I decided to focus on those things first.

I also wanted to figure out just how many of each flower I still need as to prevent myself from being stuck with a lot of extras. This sounds easier than I know it’ll be.

Loading up, I noticed Label was in town though for a new fashion challenge. Meanwhile, I had quite a bit of mail. Something I ordered, some music from Meg, and a DAL Umbrella from DAL Airlines.

I checked again for fossils and rocks (which… still no rock, genuinely running out of ideas here… It should be far enough) with no luck…

But along the way, Merengue mentioned she was worried about her catchphrase. Once again, I said it was fine.

To be honest, of all the prompts, this has always been one of my least favorites. I genuinely like most of their catch phrases and the only ones I ever really would change are Diana’s and Peanut’s (and maybe I’ll consider eventually changing Teddy’s if I think of something decent). The big issue is if you change one, villagers often end up picking it up and while you can reset it by talking to Isabelle, it’s a really annoying feature. I wish they’d at least ask similar to the nickname thing.

As a side note, on the subject of villagers, even though Fleas will be available for several more months, I’m worried I won’t catch enough for the Nook Miles thing. I saw a good amount for a little while and then it’s been nothing for weeks now.

I then finally went to go see Label. My theme this time was Comfy so I did my best… She ended up giving me a Labelle hat.

Marina asked me to catch her a long locust. Once bounced into view nearly immediately after so it was a… really quick task to finish.

I also decided to try and start giving everyone some fruit each day. While I found most of them easily, I was still missing Teddy… So I decided to check the museum and well… There have definitely been some changes. I was right about him being there though.

Thanks to a friend, I finally had enough pine cones to make the leaf campfire. Now the campsite is pretty much done– I just would like the other leaf piles for it.

And then when I took this picture, I noticed my very first rainbow!! And not just any rainbow, but a double rainbow!!

I then stopped over to Filia City again and finally got my revenge. And also another victory.

I also found it interesting that it seems all the Cicadas have different things said when they’re caught when it’s raining.

The only July/August bug I have left now is the Giraffe stag. I think I may have saw it once while playing over there today, but accidentally scared it off ironically due to being more confident after practicing. I forgot when they stop moving, I need to freeze and I’m still kicking myself for it. I hope I see one again. On the bright side, I got to celebrate another birthday.

Meanwhile, when I got back to Pink Sea, Phil taught me a new reaction: Resignation.

And Alfonso said he was thinking of moving!! I’m so surprised as Mira asked not that long ago… I told him he could so it’s going to be villager hunting time in two days! I’ll definitely stream it unless someone mentions having one of them I can just invite over and then I won’t exactly have to island farm so… I’ll at least record myself inviting them then. Though, with all the glitches, I will admit I’d be kind of nervous to :/

I had some fun stopping at friends’ towns after.

Mira and Flurry asked if they could also start calling me Princess which I said yes to them both.

Also a bench appeared?? I don’t understand why things suddenly just randomly appear.

And finally, I saw Wisp again tonight and finally hit the second Nook Miles thing for him. Unfortunately, he gave me another item I already had in each color… :(

I didn’t really get to do everything I wanted to do, but hopefully I have better luck tomorrow… On the bright side, besides K.K. Birthday, the only song I still have to go is The K. Funk still and then I can just focus on getting art from Redd.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 55

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

It as another day with no news, but Isabelle said to pace ourselves as it is only Tuesday and in a real seasonal game, I can not afford to pace myself Isabelle. I sadly received my Gulliver item and it was a hairstyle and I’m so sad. I never found my last two fossils yesterday, I still have a rock missing in action (can they not spawn on sand?? I figured they could since fossils and weeds can, but…), my bottle recipes are nothing new (Dark Cosmos Crown), and it was raining again. I did have some very nice gifts from Madison though.

While casually looking for fossils, I also am doing my best to talk to my villagers every day. Merengue was hanging out at Cookie’s and us all being in the same dress made it feel like a club meeting.

Along the way, I noticed Saharah’s here. In all honesty, if it’s not Redd or Gulliver, I’d much rather Flick or Chip if only to get models made that I want. My storage is so full :( And I have certain ideas for some and want to see if I can place it like I’m imagining.

Since it seems rocks can’t spawn on/in sand (pathed sand, not beaches of course) after all, I ended up doing some adjustments to the Zen garden to make it looker nice again and put a random stone material in there to make up for it.

I think a Rock could maybe look nice in the grove, but honestly, I have no idea where it could fit. At this point, I have at least one rock I will be breaking still and no where for these two rocks to spawn. Maybe I can figure something out though. I at least found all four of my fossils today (though, no sign of the two I missed yesterday).

In the end, I found out the issue is that apparently the rock won’t spawn if it’s within four spaces of a cliff… which was an annoying issue. I tried adjusting some things so we’ll see if it finally works tomorrow.

If anything, today was mainly surprises. I found the other fossil I likely couldn’t find yesterday and immediately put transparent patterns down there.

I received some very generous gifts which helped a lot (on top of getting to catalog a lot of new things too).

I also realized I hadn’t properly gotten all the flowers in the Secret-Grove-Garden area so I worked on that too.

Despite nothing really happening though, I still pretty much played all day so… I also finally managed to clean out my storage a bit which at least means I should be able to work on my house now… I just have so much to do :(

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 54

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

While Isabelle had no news, I personally made a lot of progress and my own goals have shifted a bit. The big thing is with Villager recipes out of the way, my focus is on Seasonal, Event, and Celeste recipes and various other things.

1. Cataloging situation – Besides clearly needing to update my list in general and also get non-furniture items up on that image list, there is still a lot I need to catalog. I also had just 6 Saharah rugs left at the time of starting Day 54, but by the evening I got them all (thank you so much to everyone who helped!!).

2. Celeste can apparently only give out the zodiac item during the correct season (IE: You can’t get any order zodiac item besides Taurus right now). If you have all the other recipes besides zodiac, she apparently just gives you the matching Star Fragment of the current zodiac. I don’t know if this holds if you visit someone who is on a different date who has Celeste, but I guess it’s something I can try to test next time I visit a friend. I wish I thought to take a screenshot or something earlier, but I was spamming through quickly as I didn’t want to take too long as I wasn’t the only one there and I wasn’t expecting to not get a recipe.

3. Birthdays – Celebrating a Villager’s birthday at another town actually counts towards the Nook Miles thing which is nice because otherwise it’s going to take 3 years minimum if you have 10 villagers and only celebrate theirs as you need 30 total to complete it. I do wonder if you go to multiple towns the same day to celebrate the same villager if it still counts too. Either way, I’m trying to stop by whenever someone has a villager celebrating a birthday so if you happen to, I’d love to visit!

4. I do want to work on crafting everything I still haven’t yet. I’m so behind on it (partially because I hate material grinding) and also need a lot of customization kits in order to get all the colors in one go so I hopefully won’t have to remake things. Unfortunately, I have not always managed to remember to do this, but here’s hoping I may be able to just catalog them from other people before it comes to that. I would say offhand, the things I probably need the most of right now are various flower materials, gold nuggets, and wood. Maybe also more stone. Maybe I’ll put a full list together soon.

Regardless, it was a new day and I had mail. One for the painting I bought at Filia’s town (Sinking Painting), one from Mika with the Cream Stew Soup Kettle (thank you, Mika!!), 5 letters from the Nook Shopping thing that contained those books so I could go make a stack of books, and finally, a letter from Cookie.

It was the Full-body tights outfit… I adore you Cookie, but I don’t think I will be wearing that.

I wasted no time making my Stack of Books before I headed off to the world of dailies. I’m not sure if I like the default version or the “Old” version better, but I just kept it the same for now.

Reminder for self: Clean out my storage x-x But with that done, it was off. I donated the painting first, but now it was time to try and find my fossils and also see if I can figure out what happened to that rock.

Going along the beach, I found Gulliver!! It’s been so long. Here’s hoping he gives me some of the items I want… (Fingers crossed for either Dala Horse (heck, I want three of these… Maybe four), Moai statue, Pagoda (I need two of these), and Stone Henge. Also maybe the Hula Doll for the beach, though, that’s low priority in comparison to the rest. On an even lower priority a Lucky Cat just to craft a Gold Lucky Cat for the Recipe check-mark, but I’d much rather something I don’t have).

Cookie was also pretty hyped.

While I wasn’t having much luck with the communication parts, I did manage to sell enough seashells to the Nooklings to hit the final Nook Miles goal so that was nice at least.

Teddy was worried about his catchphrase, but I told him it was fine.

After finally finding the parts for Gulliver, I decided to continue my fossil search and along the way, found a lost item. I guessed it was Cookie’s right away somehow so that was nice.

I really wasn’t having much fossil luck (only found two), so I made my way to Filia’s for now as he got Redd again. Meanwhile, because I guess Margie calling me out yesterday wasn’t enough, Judy called me out today.

I don’t have time to do nothing, okay!!

Moving on, I gave Teddy a new hat and Margie asked if she could call me Princess too.

Filia then was at Lopez’s birthday so I stopped by for that birthday today! He was also in August and the fluffy clouds are so beautiful in this game.

I then did some more crafting visits.

And made another birthday stop!

The only other thing I really ended up doing was experimenting with a waterfall trick where you can kind of jump through it– unfortunately, I could only get it work when entering from the back… Not the front :( Which stinks as I had the perfect use for it in two areas, but oh well… Though, considering I think it’s a glitch, it’ll probably get patched eventually anyway so maybe that’s for the best.

I really need to stop procrastinating working on my house v-v But I need to work on getting rid of more stuff in storage first. And get the rest of the things into the image list.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 53

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

While there were no announcements, there was a lot of mail. Besides the rest of the K.K. songs I had ordered (Just 14 K.K. songs to go), I had a letter from the Happy Home Academy along with a letter from Merengue, and the last two Mom’s Plushies I needed from Madison.

What really surprised me about the HHA letter was I didn’t expect any future gifts. While it was just a High-end stereo, it still makes me a bit nervous to be redoing my home. I just hope it comes out okay. My biggest worry is the Kitchen honestly. I just don’t know if I can make a Kitchen I’m happy with in a 6×6 space :/

Regardless, it was off to do dailies, visit friends, and sell some stuff in no particular order. While looking for Star Fragments, and keeping my hopes alive for a large one, I did find a Pear Dress recipe from Antonio.

Upon heading into the Able Sisters, I saw the crown I’ve been waiting for. I’ve actually had it cataloged for a while now and people have offered to let me buy it from their shops, but I was actually really adamant not to as incase there is ever an Able Sisters upgrade (Label permanently? Gracie here instead?), I wanted to have the bells into it and I wasn’t doing a good job buying as much as I could. So I ran to withdraw 1 million bells (and also pop into Nook’s Cranny, I have an order okay?!) and finally purchased it.

I had books available through the Nook Shopping Daily Selection today. There were other items I hoped to order too, but I needed 5 Books for the Stack of Books so I decided to just get them all. I feel like I may regret this later considering I’m hoping to work on my house but it’s too late now.

As I headed back to Able Sisters though, Alfonso asked if he could call me Princess too. Even if he may not be around forever, I still hope we’ll be friends so of course I told him yes.

I don’t think I’ll manage to get the photos of all my villagers who will be leaving (I already failed at Audie’s), but maybe I can try to buy them some day and set something up to remember them. At the least, I can always order their posters.

I still had fossils to find and also needed to find where my rock had put itself now, but I found all my star fragments (And got two large ones!), but most importantly, I had friends to visit! First up was Tom’s town as it was Patty’s birthday!

I’ve been trying to visit other towns for their character’s birthdays as it counts towards the Nook Miles thing and it’d take over 3 years otherwise if I just kept to my own villagers.

Next up was Filia’s town as Redd was there :D And then I stopped by some other friends’ towns as well.

I managed to find my fossils well enough, but I could not find where the rock I broke yesterday respawned anywhere. I did get a new reaction from Phil though.

And also gave some medicine to Mira.

After that, it was just a lot of crafting for people and thanks to kind tips, I’ve made a lot of progress on the recipe front. Maybe I can finally try and relax. And hopefully actually manage to decorate my house tomorrow.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Day 52

Twitch Collection | Youtube Playlist | ACNH Overview

Today started with quite a lot of mail from everything I ordered plus my statue from Redd. I also had a letter from Margie and I agree with the sentiment and hope I can have some nice book area in my room. I had wanted to add something to the cafe too, but it just didn’t work out.

After that, I immediately ran to donate the Valiant Statue to Blathers. It was thankfully real and my Detective work paid off.

I decided to pause from my usual fossils first as one of Ruu’s villagers, Phoebe, was actually crafting the Iron Closet which was one of the recipes I still needed so I did my best to get over there first.

I then ended up getting another recipe at Vitalis’ town. Ironically, the regular Tulip Crown as the last one I got.

It was then off to look for fossils and maybe it was due to my breaking the usual schedule, I could not find my last fossil anywhere. Also apparently weeds can grow on sand which feels weird.

In the meantime, I went to talk to my villagers. Margie told me to imagine myself having a cup of tea and what kind of tea it was. I picked [Masala] Chai Tea. And then she called me out entirely.

As for Star Fragments, unfortunately, I once again didn’t get any Large ones :( But thankfully due to the power of time zones, I was able to go make some more wishes so here’s hoping I will be lucky tomorrow.

I wasn’t able to play much today overall, but I did manage to catch K.K. Slider’s concert before he left.

Just K.K. Birthday, K.K. House, K.K. Island, K.K. Marathon, K.K. Metal, K.K. Safari, K.K. Salsa, K.K. Ska, K.K. Sonata, K.K. Song, K.K. Steppe, K.K. Tango, K.K. Technopop, K.K. Western, K.K. Etude, Rockin’ K.K., The K. Funk, To the end, and Two Days Ago left to go.

I also made further progress on the recipe front! Below are, I believe, all the Villager recipes I still need– the rest are Seasonal ones from Balloons, from Events, or are from Celeste:
