Jeff's New Horizons Blog

Last Saturday, Bob and Kid Cat told me they were going on a picnic together. They asked me for advice on where to have it.

I suggested the beach, and Bob was happy because he likes to fish. And he said seashells are the chips of the sea! Yikes, I hope he has some really strong teeth!

Broffina the chicken was camping out at the campsite, so I stopped in to say hello. But unlike last week, there was no temptation to adopt this camper.

On Monday, Agent S was surprised to see me wearing the rabbit tee she gave me. But there’s just one problem with that: It was Peanut that sent me the rabbit tee! I even went back and double-checked my footage from last week! So I don’t know what Agent S is talking about!

Savannah was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. She rewarded me with a bottled ship.

C.J. was in town on Tuesday, and I caught three big-time fish to complete his seasports challenge. The third one was an ocean sunfish! 🙂

I then sold him 32 fish for 520,500 bells. That’s a nice chunk of change when you get over half a million bells for one pocketful of fish!

There was another camper on Wednesday, Gloria the ugly duckling, at the campsite. Let me tell you, I ducked out of there pretty quack. I mean, pretty quick.

Thursday (July 9th) was Static’s birthday, and I made sure to attend his birthday party. Just like with Agent S a week earlier, I gave Static some bamboo grass that I recently ordered. He seemed to think it was a generous gift, and I think it’ll look nice in his house.

That wasn’t the only similarity to Agent S’s party last week, though. Louie was again the squirrel’s other party-goer…and he again accused me of being late to the party!

Who made him the town’s official timekeeper, anyway? Maybe he keeps up with his Donkey Kong jungle beats…but I think punctuality is slightly different from rhythm. 😉

Today, my old buddy Apple (of Apple Lane fame) visited town as a tourist. It was nice to see her again! 🙂

Have a great weekend, and I’ll be back with more next week!

I recently put a new chair near my cooking/crafting/changing/storage area by my western ramp. And I guess I should’ve expected to find tourists there, but it caught me by surprise when I found Peewee there on Sunday.

When I walked up that ramp to the campsite, I was excited when I saw Big Top was the day’s camper! I really wanted him to move in, but it all depended on who he would replace. When I asked, he said something I didn’t want to hear:

He would replace Static. Oof. As much as I like Big Top, I couldn’t kick out Static.

I recently moved my leaf statue to my stargazing area. Do you like it here?

Thursday (July 2nd) was Agent S’s birthday. I made sure to attend her party, and I gave her some bamboo grass that I had just ordered. She seemed to appreciate it.

And as you can see, Louie was also at the party. He accused me of being late to the party, but I wasn’t late at all. 😛

When I wrapped up my session, I was taken back to a crowded scene on the title screen. Six animals (Peanut and five tourists) were all huddled closely, as if they were in a mosh pit! 😆

Today, I spotted Cephalobot walking around near my house. He was visiting Forest as a tourist, but he didn’t book a hotel room.

I took him back to the hotel and I designed a VIP room for him. I went with an underwater theme, so I hope he’ll feel at home here. As long as he doesn’t rust, that is.

He loved the room!

Leilani rewarded me with 300 hotel tickets for designing the room. Unfortunately, I still need to do five more of these before I can finish that Nook Miles achievement. I’ll get there someday. 😛

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week:

• Last Saturday, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Bashment” for me and Kid Cat.
• On Wednesday, Peanut sent me a rabbit tee in the mail. And that’s what I’ve been wearing since.
• I helped out Gulliver on Thursday, and he sent me a silk hat in the mail.

I recently posted my latest video comparing my Animal Crossing towns, so please check out Forest Quick Comparisons 2026:

Last Saturday, Pascal popped up after I caught a scallop. And you know how he normally shares some words of wisdom? Well, he apparently forgot them this time! Oops!

But he still gave me a mermaid fishy dress and a pearl for the scallop.

My former villager Tybalt returned as a tourist on Tuesday. It wasn’t his first time visiting, but I was surprised when he said he was voted “Buffest Forest Hero” twice running. 😆 I think Louie might object to that statement! But it was good to see Tybalt again!

June recently asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “in spring.” So I told her to say “all summer” now instead. I’m keeping it seasonal, except for the fact that her greeting is still about hibernation. 😛

On Wednesday, I found Gonzo camping at the campsite. He seemed nice, but I’m not a big fan of koalas in Animal Crossing.

On Thursday, Bones asked me to play a treasure hunt game with him. He only gave me three minutes instead of six, but that wasn’t a problem…because it took me just 17 seconds to find the buried treasure!

The treasure was a vampire costume. What a fang-tastic reward. (Sorry for the bad pun. But it is a bloody good prize.) 🧛

The June Bug-Off was held today, but I played about an hour too late to participate. But that didn’t stop Flick from asking me how I enjoyed the event! You’d think he would’ve noticed if I had participated or not, but I guess he was just obsessing over the bugs instead.

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week:

• Last Saturday, K.K. performed “K.K. Song” for me, Bob, and Savannah.
• C.J. was in town on Monday, and I sold him 12 fish for 198,000 bells.
• Yesterday, I sold 32 bugs to Flick for 220,500 bells. That bumped my savings account balance up to 140 million bells.
• Due to the Bug-Off today, there was no K.K. concert tonight.

The full slate of summer bugs and fish arrives next week! Hope to see you then!
