Jeff's New Horizons Blog

In the mail today, I found a letter from Lopez. It was a thank-you note for the birthday present.

He must have liked the gift more than I thought, because he actually sent me his photo! I was shocked! I put it on the wall in my bedroom. Lopez’s favorite quote is “Always look both ways before crossing the street.” I guess that’s a different message from my quote, “Never Stop Crossing.” 😉

Lopez is the 2nd newest villager in town, and he’s not one of my favorites…so I have no idea how I got a photo from him before Agent S, Hornsby, Apple, Midge, or even Louie. I generally don’t talk to him more than once a day, and I rarely give him gifts (other than his birthday gift). But I do give gifts to some of the others, especially Hornsby and Agent S. The villager photo thing just seems so random.

But on the bright side, I guess I can feel free to let him move out whenever he asks. He’s never really grown on me, despite living here for almost three months.

Saharah was in town today, so I bought several products from her. I ended up with a yellow vinyl sheet, magma-cavern wall, yellow checked rug, and paintball flooring.

Rizzo was itching because of a flea, and he said he nearly asked me to help him scratch! 😮

No way I’m scratching you, you flea-infested rat! But I did use my net to catch the flea for him.

In Nook’s Cranny (the shop, not his actual cranny), I gave Agent S an espresso maker as a gift. In return, she gave me a cavalier hat because she had heard that I love them.

I actually did like the cavalier hat a lot in ACCF, but I’m not feeling this one. I liked the original dark blue color.

I went diving in the ocean, and I found a scallop (and Pascal) on my 14th dive of the day.

He gave me a mermaid princess dress, but it’s different from the one he already gave me with the same name.

In an unrelated note, I had a dream that New Horizons had a power-up that allowed you to see fish in the water. So instead of seeing just a shadow, you could see that it was a sea bass or red snapper, etc. And in the dream, I found a brand new fish that I had never seen before. 😛 The power-up only lasted a few minutes, but it was cool to see!

Remember, there is no Friday Night Forest tonight. But I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow for the Bug-Off. See you then, and have a great weekend!

While checking my mail today, I noticed that my letter count said 300/300. My letter storage was full, but there was no warning or notice. Apparently the oldest letters (at least ones that aren’t favorited) are just deleted without warning. So if you don’t keep your letter storage cleaned out, you may want to check to see if you have any letters you want to keep.

Lopez’s birthday is today, and I found Agent S helping him celebrate. Is Agent S everyone’s best friend? 😛

I gave Lopez a cooler box for a birthday present. He seemed to like it, but he may have been faking it. 😛 Well regardless, happy birthday Lopez!

My golden watering can officially bit the dust today. R.I.P.

Label was at the plaza today, and she wanted to see me in a sporty outfit. She gave me a muscle tank as an example. But for once, I took this task seriously. I went home and changed into a baseball uniform, complete with cleats and a catcher’s mask.

I returned to Label, and she liked the outfit. She’ll be sending me a tailors ticket in the mail, but she also gave me some Labelle tights on the spot. Yeah, these will go great with my baseball uniform. 🤦

Later, I went diving and found a scallop on my 4th dive. Pascal gave me a recipe for a mermaid vanity. This is my 12th mermaid D.I.Y., so I think I must be getting close to having the whole set by now.

I put everything in my main room, because this should help with my HHA scores. I don’t plan on keeping this stuff up long term, though. I just don’t have many nearly-complete sets yet.

Today I posted my latest dreaming video, where I go to the neon-filled city of Sweetland (dream address 8923-2790-9482). It’s a beautiful town, and there’s SO much to see! Check out the video, and be sure to visit the dream for yourself too!

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing!

Today, I finished up the new attraction in town. It’s a cemetery for previous Animal Crossing games (the main games, not including spin-offs or Japan-only games). Next to a gravestone for each game is a sign with the game’s box art, and an item that represents something from each game.

For the GameCube game, I chose a ball as the representative item. That game had balls that could be kicked all around town, and the ball seemed like an obvious choice to place here. For Wild World, I placed a bottled ship to represent the note in a bottle. Even though they returned in New Horizons as message bottles, they are not used the same way. In Wild World, you could send notes to random players and vice versa. By the way, regular message bottles in New Horizons can’t be placed back down once you pick them up. Otherwise I would have used them instead.

For City Folk, I made a pattern of the shopping card that allowed you to make large purchases at GracieGrace without carrying cash around with you. The funds came directly out of your bank account, just like a debit card. For New Leaf, I used the pocket modern camper to represent the RVs that would appear after the Welcome Amiibo update arrived.

If any of you have suggestions for a better (single-space sized) item to represent any of those games, feel free to comment below! By the way, I’ve already updated my dream, so you can see this area for yourself by dreaming of Forest.

I found Apple resting between two apple trees. It just seemed so cute that I had to include it in the entry today. 😛

Today is Tybalt’s birthday, and I made sure to attend his birthday party. Agent S was also there to help him celebrate. For a birthday present, I gave Tybalt the telescope that had been on Spectacle Rock. Happy birthday, tiger!

By the way, I was recently informed that Tybalt’s name is Jeff in the French version of the game. Tybalt was already growing on me, but this fact makes me like him even more. 😛

C.J. was in town, and he had a freestyle challenge for me today. That just meant I had to catch any five fish in a row without letting any get away. That didn’t take me long, and I sold my catches back to him for about 19,000 bells. I then went home to get some fish out of storage. I took them all over to C.J., and that earned me another 238k.

Later on, I found Wisp up on the eastern cliffs. I collected his spirits for him, and it didn’t take me long: just two and a half minutes! He rewarded me with some rose flooring. I also earned 1,000 Nook Miles because that was the 20th time I helped him out!

It seems like finding Pascal has been a lot of work lately. So I nearly ended my game without even trying to find him tonight. But I decided to give it a quick try, and I’m glad I did. I found a scallop (and Pascal) on my very first dive! He gave me a pearl in exchange for the scallop.

Just a few notices. There will not be a Friday Night Forest this week, and probably not next week either. But I plan on opening a week from Sunday (on the 30th) for the final fireworks festival of the year.

Lopez’s birthday is coming up tomorrow. And within the next day or two, I plan to post another dreaming video. But this won’t be an “island hopping” video this time. Instead, it will focus just on one amazing dream town.

Have a great day, and Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
