Don't Make These 10 MISTAKES in Animal Crossing New Horizons

I love that you encourage players to realize that each island is unique! I honestly have trouble with this because I don't use the online feature nor treasure islands, so I am building my island completely step by step which is why it does not look like other islands at all

The fact that you hit Bea with your net and her crying afterwards filled my heart with unexplainable sadness 😢💔☹️ you should've done this to Wart Jr

Flatten your island in sections. I completely flattened mine, and now I want to have the cliffs I started with, and it's a lot of work to revive it.

Breaking tools is part of getting nook miles though, it takes a long time, but that's a category called 'Trashed Tools' So don't really fix them until you get all those stamps for breaking tools. The last stamp is 200 tools.

Comparing your island to others is one of the biggest mistakes I ever made playing this game. I felt so disheartened and embarrassed, cause I had and still have absolutely no structure in my island. Comparing even made me stop playing for a long time. I accepted now that I never can make such beautiful islands like some content creators here, BUT I learned to enjoy and adore my chaotic islands (I made several islands and they were all Chaoscore, haha :D ) In the end enveryone needs to play the game and create the island the way THEY want, it's so important to remember this. I didn't know you can reset the usage of tools by customizing it! Big help, thank you so much for this!

My favorite tip is to put your net/ fishing pole away before the time runs out during tournaments. They won’t break during a round, so if it’s in your pockets before the time runs out, you can use the same tool for as many rounds as you want! 🤓

Customizing tools to reset their usage?! wow, that’s DEFINITELY something I wish I knew sooner, cuz every time a tool breaks I just buy another one at Nooks Cranny or craft one of it’s closed, but this is a new fact I just learned! Thanks, Ben!

The island backups are only really useful for transferring though because you have to have both switches ( the one the island is currently on and the on its being transferred to) to get any use out of it. If you lose your switch there's still no way to recover that island until you find said switch.

I have had the same island for over a year, and I would like to experience the game all over again. I am going to start my OWN ACNH YouTube channel series about my new island when I restart!

I absolutely love my island. other than some light terraforming (mostly to allow more bridges and inclines to be built), placing walking paths, as well as building said bridges and inclines, i kept the place very natural. i went for a "quaint, small town where everything is in walking distance" feel to it. i have even embraced the parts of my island where the flowers have multiplied crazily! 😂

I've never regretted starting my second island over again. I've kept my islands on my Switch and Switch Lite both flat since I had no interest in changing my island and I've never liked decorating very much. I never restarted my first island since I wanted to keep all my fruits and I don't have friends that I regularly play with.

For me, my biggest mistake was choosing the ordinance that waters your crops and flowers automatically. My island became so overrun with flowers that digging them up and throwing them away was very tedious. I won’t make that mistake again.

I just bought a Switch after three years of thinking about it (a bit indecisive lol) and I’m binging every ACNH content like this I can to feel ready for the next week. So thank you for all the good videos on your channel, really great content! ❤

I actually needed to hear the second part about comparing islands, thank you I am currently rebuilding mine and I am not as creative as other players so I always felt down about that my island just wouldn't be as cool as others

I just started my island again not too long ago when I got a new switch and decided not to back my island up and restart! It’s been fun. Bobs Gang!! 💜:_bobhi:

i needed to be told my island was fine. I just came from a video about how to decorate my island and was so so overwhelmed because i don’t want to be limited to just a certain time of year for grass and i don’t want to have SO much that my island lags. This is MY island and I wanna love how it looks year round. So thank you.

Regarding the tools bit- the only tools with limited durability which cannot be customized are flimsy tools, golden tools (which have high durabilty, so it's not a big deal) and axes. Also, upgrading tools resets durability as well

can’t agree with 1:27 enough!! for years i was always comparing my island to other peoples, which made me reset easily 20+ times because i always wanted to bigger, better themes which inevitably made me burnt out. at the start of this year i reset for the last time and now have a very simply, non-aesthetically please island but i haven’t loved the game more! i’ve loved playing slowly, and how the game intended. it’s really brought those march 2020 feelings back for me!

I haven’t played the game for over a year, i’ve been thinking about restarting but at the same time i really don’t want to lose all my designs and progress. But i’m also really tired of working on the same island since 2020. I feel like it’s a big risk to restart if you don’t have nintendo online 😵‍💫

So I have restarted my island then knocked it all down and have been trying to build it up again. I keep walking away from it because I'm either bored or unhappy because it isn't looking as cool as yours. Thank you for the pep talk. I'm going to pull it back out again and keep pushing on. Again, thank you.😊
