Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Thursday, Brewster gave me another item: a pro coffee grinder.

I replaced another log bridge (the one just west of Resident Services) with a brick bridge, and it opened up yesterday. I only have one log bridge left now (the one on the cliff, east of Rainbow Road), but I’m keeping that one. That area would look too crowded with a larger bridge.

Sasha was talking about explosions in the “combobulation engines” of cars. He kept saying “BOOM!” and this was the exact moment he went completely insane. 😂

Jolly Redd’s ship was in town, and he had a proper painting for sale. It was the first time I’ve seen that one in New Horizons, so I quickly bought it up. Forgeries are typically more common than real paintings, but when I haven’t seen any version of a painting after this much time, I figured it’s probably one that’s always real.

Marina taught me how to make an illuminated reindeer yesterday, and Apple taught me how to make a holiday candle today. So I’m finally starting to get some of these holiday DIY recipes that I didn’t get last year. Better late than never. 😛

The proper painting arrived in the mail today, and I took it up to the museum. It was indeed the real deal, so I only need ten more works of art to complete the museum now. 🙂

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed a song called K.K. Robot Synth for me and Sasha.

I shot down a balloon present up on a cliff, and I was very surprised to find a wheat field inside! I used to love these in City Folk, and I didn’t realize it was added into New Horizons with the 2.0 update! Suh-wheat!

I hope you’re all having a grain great weekend! See you next time!

Yesterday, I got to see the inside of Sasha’s house…and it’s very cute. His house is filled with stuffed animals, and some of them look exactly like Care Bears!

I even sat down on the floor to play a quick board game. 😉

I found a lost item on the ground, and I was able to return it to its owner, Marina. She rewarded me with a…mantis head?

Here are a few other quick notes about yesterday:

• My latest reward from Gullivarrr was a pirate outfit.
• The mysterious island was a money rock island (the first one I’ve seen on a Kapp’n tour).
• I removed another log bridge and replaced it with a brick bridge.

Today, my bridge was complete, and I attended the ceremony.

Some cedar trees are now decorated with festive lights, and you can get some ornaments by shaking these trees. I never got all of the festive items last year, so I’ll need to do some shaking and crafting in the next few weeks!

A couple of new seasonal items are available for the winter solstice: You can order the bathtub with yuzu and the tangyuan.

There was a camper at the campsite, but it was someone that I would never willingly invite into my town in a million years: Chops the hideous pig.

At Nook’s Cranny, I bought a gaming chair for 29,000 bells. But a few minutes later, Apollo wanted to give me an eggshell for it! No way!

Good luck with your ornament search! See you all next time! 🙂

Yesterday, Eloise asked me to join her on the bench in the north part of town (near the north beach, but up on the cliff). So I joined her briefly.

It was getting late, so I wanted to at least try to look for a new villager. I grabbed some Nook Miles Tickets out of storage, but I decided to use no more than three of them. My first trip took me to a tarantula island for the first time! There were a bunch of them walking around at once, and when I caught one of them, another one attacked me!

I ended up catching a total of five tarantulas. I could’ve caught more, but I needed to refocus on getting a new villager. Jitters was there, but I wasn’t interested in him.

But it is kind of funny how animals on mystery islands will fearlessly walk through a pack of tarantulas, while on our own islands, they freak out if they even see one.

On my next mystery island, which happened to a spiral island, I was very surprised to find Sasha!

Sasha is one of the new villagers added in the 2.0 update…and probably the cutest of the bunch. So I couldn’t resist inviting Sasha to Forest!

A few other quick notes about yesterday:

• I made another perfect snowboy, and he said he’d mail my reward.
• I got a DIY recipe for frozen floor tiles from a balloon present.
• Wisp gave me a shoji divider.

Today, I found Gullivarrr in town. Or at least, I found his head. 😛

I went diving for his communicator, and he will send me a gift later.

When I checked my mail, I found a frozen mini snowperson from the snowboy yesterday. I later made another perfect snowboy.

And of course, I went to greet the new green and white bunny in town. Welcome to Forest, Sasha!
