One cool thing I’ve noticed about Slumber Islands involves the animals you can invite to appear there. The list contains not only your current villagers, but also your previous villagers. Remember seeing these villagers in Forest?
After paying Tom Nook 1.5 million bells Wednesday night, my storage was expanded to hold 7,000 items on Thursday. I know I can expand it again to 9,000, but I’m not in a rush to do that right now.
I encountered my 2nd tourist on Thursday, it was O’Hare the rabbit.
Leilani told me about the mannequins, and I displayed a frog suit on one of them. The mannequin outfits will be useful for multiplayer sessions, although I don’t have anything specific themes in mind so far.
I designed another hotel room, and I was given an option to design a Japanese room or a modern room. I chose the latter, and I used some iron, tubular, and cool furniture.
I earned another 200 hotel tickets for designing the room, but no tourists showed up to rent it like they did with the first room.
I was informed by Mr_DotoroBear that you can use the “L” button jump and slide. I later learned that it’s actually to help when using the Island Designer app (so you can clearly discern which space you’re on and move to the next one quickly). But I noticed that if you press L on a bridge, it doesn’t work…and your character makes a disappointed face. 😆
On Friday, I went to design Room 3. For the theme, I could choose a simple room or a ranch room. I chose the latter, and of course I mostly used ranch furniture. I’m not putting tons of effort into these things. 😛
Anicotti and Jacob were the tourists for the day. I found Anicotti over by Resident Services, and she said somebody should offer a swim/dive/fish tour. That’s pretty bold of Nintendo to mention tours when it just reminds me of the island tours from New Leaf that aren’t in this game. 😛
Yesterday, I designed Room 4 at the hotel. I chose to make a kiddie room instead of a dreamy room, and I used a lot of these new kiddie items. Unfortunately, this kiddie slide still can’t be used. Slides need to be usable items! 😆
Tipper, Axel, and Coco were the tourists for the day. Interestingly enough, Coco wanted cocoa! What a co-incidence.
Today, I spotted Monty the monkey walking around outside my house as I checked my mail. Monty recently moved out of my City Folk town, so it caught me off guard to see him here. I guess I’ll have to get used to these surprises. 😛 Bubbles, Chester, and Fauna were the other tourists for the day.
I didn’t design a hotel room today, but I think it might be a bit overwhelming once I get to the point where there’s eight tourists in town every day! That seems like overkill, especially considering we can only have ten villagers of our own.
I found Chester in Able Sisters, so you can indeed find tourists in shops as well.
Here are a few other quick notes from the past few days:
- On Thursday, Gulliver sent me a tubeteika.
- I learned that customization kits can also be used from storage, so there’s no need to carry them with you.
- Friday, I sold 32 bugs to Flick for 144,750 bells.
- Last night, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Mambo” for me, June, and Bob.
- I built a perfect snowboy yesterday, and he sent me another three-tiered snowperson today.
I recently posted a video showing highlights of my first two days with the Version 3.0 update. So please check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.
I may also have another video for tomorrow, so stay tuned for that!
And FYI, I’m still planning on having a Friday Night Forest this week (January 23rd). But don’t expect me to have a new obstacle course ready just yet.
