Jeff's New Horizons Blog

I found a lost item (an autograph book) on the ground today, and it was covered in sparkly stickers.

That made me think it belonged to a peppy villager, and that meant either Apple or Agent S. I tried Agent S, and it was indeed her book.

She gave me a dandy hat as my reward for returning it.

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three small fish in a row for his challenge. So I went fishing and caught a freshwater goby, clown fish, and a crucian carp to complete the mission. I grabbed a bunch of fish out of storage and made my way back to C.J.; I sold him everything for 224k.

(I later sold him an arapaima I caught for an additional 15k).

A balloon present I shot down gave me a DIY recipe for a tree’s bounty lamp. I hadn’t made any of the autumn recipes yet, so I thought this was a good time to take stock of my acorns and pine cones and see what I could make.

So I checked my storage, and I had a grand total of 11 acorns and 5 pine cones. (I also have one acorn at my AC cemetery, but I’m not going to use that for crafting). That didn’t sound like a lot, but it allowed me to make four autumn recipes: the pile of leaves, yellow-leaf pile, traditional balancing toy, and tree’s bounty mobile.

The bad news is that I only have one acorn left, and no pine cones. 😛 But it’s still September, and there’s still plenty of time for me to make the other recipes.

A few other quick notes about today:

• Tia asked about moving out, but I told her to stay.
• At Able Sisters, I bought a pharaoh’s outfit to go with my King Tut mask.
• There was a meteor shower, so I wished on several shooting stars. No sign of Celeste, though.
• I found Tia sweeping a bridge.

I posted Wi-Fi Moments #12 today, featuring highlights from my last two online play sessions (plus one clip from August that I forgot to include in the previous video).

My new outro has a throwback to some of my older videos that a few of you may remember. Are there any other iconic scenes from any of my previous videos that you think should be in my outro? Let me know!

Have a great day, and I’ll see you next time! 🙂

I received my latest home score from the Happy Home Academy in the mail today. They gave me 96,518 points, and an S rank. They also informed me that my main room on the first floor (the mermaid room) was my highest-scoring room. That’s what I figured…and it’s also why I need to keep the mermaid stuff up until I earn all of the HHA rewards.

Up by the Animal Crossing cemetery, I noticed a bunch of new budding flowers have appeared.

It didn’t rain yesterday, so I was a bit confused at first. But then I remembered that last night, I (and others) used a watering can to “attack” Logan from on the cliff, while he was down below, attacking us with a net. 😛

Yellow roses aren’t necessarily a flower I need more of, but at least I figured out the mystery of the new flower buds. 😛

I shot down a balloon present over the other graveyard (the Halloween one), and it contained an anatomical model. It looks like it could be a Halloween item (like a partially dissected body), so I placed it nearby. 😛

I crafted a gold rose wreath and gave it to Hornsby. He told me he would display it, but only after he cleaned his sticky door. I don’t know why his door is sticky, but I was afraid to ask. He gave me a school jacket in return.

Later on, I found Wisp back by Rizzo’s house. I thought it was amusing that the toilet lid flipped open each time Wisp would float by. 😀

Does Wisp even need a toilet? Well, anytime he drinks some coffee, it passes right through him. 😛 But anyway, he asked me to collect his five spirits for him. I was surprised to find two of them together at the amusement park! Maybe they wanted to play a “Guess My Weight” game. 😉

After finding all of Wisp’s spirits, he gave me a stadiometer for helping out.

Video update: I plan on posting Wi-Fi Moments #12 tomorrow, and New Horizons Moments #3 later in the week. Keep an eye out for them! See you soon!

Yesterday, Jolly Redd was in town with four works of art for me to choose from. The famous painting appeared to be fake, and the flowery painting appeared to be real (but I already have it in the museum). So that left a quaint painting and a beautiful statue, both of which I had not seen before in New Horizons. I took a chance and bought the quaint painting.

Today, I received the painting in the mail. I took it over to Blathers, and he informed me that it was a fake. 🙁

When I went diving for a Nook Miles+ goal, I found a scallop and Pascal showed up to ask for it. Pascal wondered why people used to try to turn lead into gold instead of just accepting lead the way it was. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town, and I asked him for a random song. He performed Café K.K. for me, Keaton, and Lopez. Now if only K.K. could perform in a café. 😉

I made a special Halloween mural that’s on my beach near the graveyard.

At 10:00, I opened up my gate. Logan and Alex from Pawnee came over…and surprisingly, that was it. I know this was my first time opening on a Saturday night, but I expected more visitors than that…so I posted to Twitter to remind people. Three people replied that they were trying to get in, but were getting an error message.

So I closed my gate and reopened around 10:30 or so. This time, Maria, James, Logan, and Alex from Pawnee came over. As you can see in this screenshot, I also made a pattern for K.K. night.

Logan told us that Alex from A-Nation was also trying to come over, but he was getting the error message as well. We noticed that both times, nobody joined in after Alex from Pawnee. So we thought maybe he was locking the door behind him when he came in. 😉 But he offered to leave and return to see if the other Alex could get in…and it worked! So we had both Alexes.

We headed over to the plaza, and I asked everyone to go crazy as I watched K.K.’s show. People running around during a show provides some funny moments, as some of you may remember from my ACCF Wi-Fi Moments.

After a few shows, we walked through Donkey Kong Country and Alex did some fishing.

A bit later, Maria was trying to catch a shark, and Alex stole it away. It turned out to be a whale shark, too! 😮

We went to my house and merged in the basement. It’s a shame that stairways seem to be the only place where merging still works. I guess it’s so that people don’t accidentally push each other up/down stairs or out a door.

After we were done hanging out in my house, we visited Apple. She was crafting a cabin wall, which I don’t think of us needed. 😛

Shortly after that, I ended the session (just after midnight). Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun!
