Gulliver sent me a letter in the mail, and he included this Elder mask. I’m really not a fan of the stuff he’s sent me so far. Although this does remind me a bit of the snowman from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer…
Sebastian from the other night sent me a couple of apples, and Vinnie sent me a pear. Thanks, guys! 🙂 I also got a letter from Daisy Mae, telling me that she’ll be in town on Sunday morning to sell turnips. And the Nooks sent me my three-ball shirt.
I headed up to Resident Services, and Tom Nook was on the phone. He told me that he has three people that are interested on moving to Forest. He asked for my help in preparing their homes, and he told me the first step is to build a bridge. He gave me a DIY recipe for a bridge construction kit. Unfortunately, the recipe requires four log stakes, and I haven’t seen anything like that so far.
The big news of the day is that the museum and Nook’s Cranny are now open for business! I was able to attend the opening ceremony for both venues.
From the airport’s boardwalk, I stopped to take a look at both new buildings. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out a way to hide the date/time display. City Folk and New Leaf, at least, had a button for this purpose. Does anyone know a way to do it in New Horizons?
Anyway, I went inside to check out the museum. It is beautiful, and it is huge. It will be easy to get lost inside here! 😀
After exploring it, I headed next door to Nook’s Cranny. This shop is making its first appearance since City Folk in 2008. When I first walked in, Timmy and Tommy were speaking with Mabel!
The Nooklings need a clothing supplier, and it sounds like Mabel is going to help them out with that. In the meantime, they welcomed me to the new store.
I was going to buy the chair they had, but my pockets were full. But after I made room (by donating some things to the museum), I forgot about it. Once I did remember later on, Nook’s Cranny was already closed. Oof.
I visited Louie at his home, and there was an option to say “Do you want this?” I chose it, and then my inventory popped up. I gave him a stone. He actually liked it, and said it would be perfect for some heavy curls.
Shari was walking around outside, and she taught me how to use emotions! Uh, I mean reactions.
I have four reactions to start with: Joy, delight (clapping), greetings, and surprise. Not a bad bunch to start with, although I’ll definitely need laughter as well.
I dug up the daily glowing spot and re-buried the 1,000 bell bag. So I guess I’ll be getting a money tree; I’ll post the results when it’s fully grown.
On my passport, I browsed through the options for my title, and I changed it to City Folk Something or Other. 😛 I probably won’t keep it like this, but for the moment, that’s what I am. 😛
On the beach, I found yet another bottle message. Do these come every single day (other than Day 1)? Anyway, this one was from Tom and contained a DIY recipe for a sleigh.
I saw a large fish shadow at the mouth of the river, and I caught myself a sturgeon! It was my first time catching one of these.
After I crossed the river, I found an old friend: Wisp!
His role is basically back to the way it was on GameCube: You have to find his five spirits, catch them with your net, and return them to him.
As I was searching, I spotted a tarantula. I got my net out, approached it slowly, and paused repeatedly when it threatened me. When I finally inched close enough, I struck. I caught it!
A couple minutes later, I finished up catching Wisp’s spirits. I was hoping to ask Wisp to weed my town, since that is what he’s known for in earlier games, although he offers rewards as well. However, that wasn’t an option here (the one time I actually need it).
He offered wallpaper…what does he think he is, a camel? I could choose one I haven’t had yet, or something expensive. I chose the latter, and he gave me a purple quilt wall.
Before ending my night, I also caught an emperor butterfly. It was quite an eventful day for me! What does tomorrow hold in store? See you then!
Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
A helpful tip: For the money spots, if you bury 100 bells it‘ll still grow the 1,000 bell tree! So you can make a little extra 900 there!
Also, for pitfalls, they are in fact in the game! They’re just a DIY – I’ve never come across anything but fossils in buried spots. I got the Pitfall DIY from Boots (one of my starting villagers) when he was at his workbench in his home one day. I don’t think it’s solely connected to your starting villagers, but just in case it is I’ve included that tidbit.
The Log Skate is a furniture you can craft. You might need to buy the DIY recipe from the shop first though. (I think it was DIY for beginners that have it?)
You need to use the Camera app on your NookPhone if you want to get rid of timer when taking screenshot. It also includes filters and frames you can use.
I found the log stakes, thank you.
As for the time/date stamp, I actually wanted to remove it for videos (for making a GIF or Youtube outro, for example). True, I could enter the camera app and disable the date, but then the camera app controls are displayed instead, and that’s even more obtrusive. 😛 I guess I’m out of luck.
I bought the DIY recipes from the store but I still can’t seem to find the log stakes, any advice please??
Make sure you’ve shown Tom Nook at least two catches (bugs or fish).
To change to or remove the display of the date and time or to add a black or white boarder you would press L. Without frame? I think
You should be able to craft it right away! I would check your DIY recipes again.
Idk if there is a way to “move the clock” out of the way other than just walking again. And lol I think everyone starts out with the same four emotions, I mean “reactions”
I’m guessing the lack of weeding service is due to weeds actually being building material in this game
Yeah, I’m sure you’re right.
I’m pretty sure log stakes are one if the first crafting items you get. It’s furniture not a material. Check your DIY bench.
