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.

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.

So, to my surprise, most people said to continue doing daily entries T~T So thank you for enjoying them!

It was another day of no breaking news and more rain, a typical day in Pink Sea apparently T__T

To my surprise, I got the Nook Miles thing for Island Togetherness. In reality, it should be completed, but I’m only up to 30 as I just kind of suck at talking to everyone. Mail-wise was mostly K.K. songs I ordered that I cataloged from a friend (and that’ll be where all my orders go again today), but I also had a letter from Judy:

Yay for us being friends :D And Judy, you have no idea how down my mood is but I appreciate it. I hope to at least redo my ingame-house soon, but real life moving is still a mess.

It was then off for fossil hunting and to see where the last rock moved itself this time. Unfortunately, that was to my tiny little flower plot.

This really makes me want to just fill the plot up with flowers like I plan to when I don’t need any anymore, but I wouldn’t have anywhere to breed them then. I don’t have a second town specifically for flower breeding this time and this is honestly killing me. I just can’t stand something where I don’t want it to be and it just stresses me out beyond words.

As I climbed around to check for any randomly bred flowers from the rain and picked up some tee branches which I am so tired of doing, I sighted a boat I had been waiting to return for weeks now: Redd!! He was finally here again.

As much as I wanted to run over there, I had an order to my madness morning chores so he had to wait for now, but SOON.

Along the beach, I found a Recipe in a Bottle from Lily: Bamboo Bench. Sadly, I already had it :( Considering outside Seasonal/Event/Celeste stuff and the 31 Flower-related recipes (Wreaths/Crowns), I only have these Recipes left: Iron closet, Iron shelf, Straw umbrella hat, and Wooden-block bench (Also possibly the Pine Tree Bonsai if it isn’t seasonal but I think it is?), it’s probably going to be pretty rare I get anything new. :/ (I actually got a few recipes today so this was slightly longer, but yeah).

As I ran along looking for my fossils, it was generally a pretty bittersweet feeling. I wish I was more proud of my town. The difference between how I felt finishing up Pink Sea in New Leaf and this is like night and day, and while part of it could be due to things outside the game scope, I think a lot of it is I didn’t get my hopes up in New Leaf like I did here.

I knew what restrictions there were and what to expect from the get-go. I could plan every aspect with that in mind. With New Horizons, I got so caught up in the grandiose of scale and terraforming without realizing the restrictions would make a lot of the things I wanted to do either have to be done at a smaller scale or not at all. Not any area is exactly how I envisioned it and that sucks. A lot. There’s nothing I can really do to “fix” it, but I do think it means I’ll never really be happy with my town either.

My museum still getting so little progress as I wait for Gulliver and hope he gives me what I need doesn’t help.

Regardless, it was time to head to Redd’s and be the Detective Princess of my dreams.

I started with the Solemn Painting as I always found it really pretty. Alas, it was fake. The Famous and Jolly paintings were fake as well. That only left the Valiant Statue. As far as I can tell, it looks like the real one! But if not, I have an idea for where to put the fake one.

He also had the Toy Box in Blue which was the last color of it I needed so definitely a win today. The rain had started to clear up and was gone as the hour changed, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t end up raining again later.

I then decided to play around with some ideas I had with the entrance as I kind of just want to finish up with it because having to just… remove waterfalls and add cliffs to get places sucks. This genuinely hurts to do:

And there’s no need for it. Let it just have an option like the room decorating to drag things in because this is just disheartening. I’ve sometimes even considered changing stuff up, but it’s just not worth the effort and I’m not looking forward to doing similar for other areas.

I do think it came out nice, but the anxiety over it wasn’t worth it. And just ignore the one picked lily– accident from all the pain it took to place those lamps -_-

After that, I mainly did my usual crafting for people thing, but I also got to hang out at Spooky’s for a bit and check out her town after making some Crescent Moon Chairs. The area she made for Rainy was really sweet.

Heading back to my own island, I went to greet my other villagers who were now awake. Judy even taught me a new reaction.

Though, I don’t know if “Amazed” is the right now…

Not much else happened, but later that evening, I did run into Wisp.

I once again picked something new, but he gave me a Throwback Gothic Mirror which I already have all the colors of :(

Meanwhile, I tried adding a few more elements to the Grove area.

Teddy tried to give me a new nickname… but I decided to stick with the old one. Though, he added to it so now I’m “Team Captain” Princess (but shortened to Princess).

Other than that, thanks to some kind trades and friends, I’ve been slowly working on getting my pink flowers set up… But honestly, I’m so overwhelmed, that some are pretty much going in the last place they’re needed.

I work so much in patterns that I’m struggling really laying it all out as I get more of specific kinds. Right now, of the ones I need tons of, I have the most of Pink Windflowers. In Second is a tie between Lilies and Hyacinths, but I’d say Lilies are higher overall? And finally Roses which I do not have much of at all.

I really didn’t work out a breeding area enough and I’m absolutely paying for it now (especially as someone who just isn’t comfortable asking anyone to come water even when I know they don’t mind/have no problem doing it). I didn’t realize just how much having a second town just for hybrid breeding helped and I just feel kind of lost right now because of it.

Kind of like how I work best when I have all the furniture I need and can just shuffle as needed, I really just need to have as many flowers as I can good to go or I have a hard time keeping track of everything and where maybe I won’t want flowers or would prefer something else.

On a less melancholy note, I got the last Plastic Pool I needed and placed it where the Blue one had been. I’m not sure if I’ll keep this one here or not or change it to one of the other colors, but I’m happy to finally get it.

To my surprise though, things got a little more eventful as the day came close to an end. Besides crafting a lot for people and doing some DIY trades, I got a new item for around my Museum as a tip!

I’m not entirely sold on that specific spot yet, but I’m happy to be filling it out in some way.

And I even got to wish on some starts. Fingers crossed for Large Star Fragments tomorrow!

A new day had begun with sadly no new announcements. The rain had returned though, after the one Sunny Day I had in ages. I mainly just got all the items I ordered, but I also had a letter from Flurry with a Cartoonist’s Set. I then went into full chore mode to look for my fossils, gather up seashells for selling, and find my bottle recipe of the day: Lucky Gold Cat.

The Floor Lights really added to the music area like I hoped, not that the rain really shows it. I wish I saw Villagers over here.

Kicks was in my town today with some nice stuff too.

Besides that… Nothing really happened. I wish we could ask our villagers for requests or something, but it was relatively quiet for Day 50. I did learn some new recipes today (A Blue Rose Crown from Margie and others from visiting other peoples towns) and also crafted some things for people, but as for my town itself, nothing really happened.

I did adjust the path/pattern around the fountain near my house though to make it easier to walk around. I’m hoping to also organize the flowers in that area soon too.

But like with Videos, I may not continue doing Daily entries unless something big happens ooor do multiple entries over a week instead. Everything just feels so slow right now, sadly :( It’s weird, I felt like I always had a good amount to talk about with New Leaf, but ACNH feels kind of empty at times.

For now, I guess I’ll just stand in the plaza and see if any of my villagers want me to do anything for them…

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.
