Animal Crossing: New Horizons is no doubt a smashing success for Nintendo especially after fans waited nearly eight years for a new Animal Crossing game. Now, it has been a few months since Animal Crossing: New Horizons released to the Switch and some players are probably starting to run out of things to do in the game.
While Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not have a story, the game provides players with some pretty hefty goals early on to keep themselves busy such as paying off loans from Tom Nook, inviting more villagers to live on the island, and having KK Slider visit the island for a concert. Now, for those who have already completed all those tasks in the game, here are some things players can do when they feel bored playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Visit Dream Islands
Back in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, players were able to access the Dream Suite feature, which allows them to visit the villages of other players. Now, this feature just made a return in Animal Crossing: New Horizons via the latest update, and similar to New Leaf, the Dream Island function allows players to visit the islands of other players regardless if they are online or not. Given that these islands are simply copies, visitors can do anything they want on that island given that their actions won't have permanent consequences on the visited island.
Now, the only requirement that players need to have to use the Dream Island function is to obtain a Dream Address Code that they need to provide to Luna who will facilitate the visit. As of the moment, there are now tons of codes available online and players can visit several themed-islands, or even return to the popular Aika Village from Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Make a Fortune in the Stalk Market
At the very start of the game, some players may find it difficult to earn Bells. However, it is actually pretty easy to amass a huge fortune in Animal Crossing: New Horizons especially if the player knows how to invest in the Stalk Market. Every Sunday, NPC Daisy Mae will visit the player's island to sell her precious turnips. It is worth noting that Daisy Mae's price would vary every week, and it is important that the player remembers how much they paid for the turnips.
After purchasing the turnips, players can then check Nook's Cranny the next day to see how much they can sell the turnips to Timmy and Tommy Nook. The buying price of turnips would change twice a day, so players should check Nook's Cranny often and only sell turnips when it will yield the most profit. Players should remember that turnips will wilt the next Sunday, so they should be able to dispose of all of their products before Daisy Mae returns to their island. Another good tip for those trying out the Stalk Market is to join online communities where players from all over the world share their Turnip prices.
Redesign Your Island
After earning a big fortune from the Stalk Market, players should now spend all those hard-earned Bells by redesigning their islands. With Animal Crossing: New Horizons' new terraforming feature, players now have almost limitless control on how they want their island to look. Moreover, the game's item customization feature allows players to give their islands a specific theme by designing furniture and other items that would fit that specific theme.
With all these customization options available, players can design their islands to look like a modern city in Japan, a quaint and enchanted village, or even recreate some areas in other Nintendo games such as The Legend of Zelda. As long as players have enough Bells to fund the island of their dreams, New Horizons offers tons of customization options for players to choose from and the only limit is their imagination.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now for the Nintendo Switch.
