So it seems like Animal Crossing isn’t actually available in China whatsoever - according to Nintendo Life there are only 3 games officially licensed in the region, which must make being a Switch owner there a real pain in the arse. 
 

I don’t really know how things work there but my husband is Chinese and so I’m familiar with Taobao, through which it seems one can get unofficial imports, and I know Taobao is legit huge, so maybe the import scene is more or less de facto in China?

 

Anyway, surprised to read that nevertheless.

I'm really trying to resist landscaping too much, and pushing myself to work within the natural shape of my island. The occasional slight shaping of a cliff or river to fit a building or something, but that's about it.

 


Same. I do much better when trying to make something work with what I’ve been given. If I had endless free rein, I’d not know what to do and would panic I wasn’t making things perfect. I prefer “near to perfect”. 
 

I think that’s why I like how my zoo turned out so much. It was a tricky build up on those plateaus to make it look nice, but I got it to work. 
 

As much as I love the stuff I’ve seen people create on Reddit etc, I don’t know if I could grind for ages or island hope or endlessly swap for specific stuff like that kitchen unit everyone wants. I’m better at just trying to put together things with the stuff I come across randomly, or friends help out with sporadically.

Yeah I’m the same. I’ve landscaped a bit here and there but I’m trying to keep the essence of the island I started with. I find my ideas of how to develop an area start idealised in my head then I kind of make do and compromise as I can’t get perfect stuff, but then it kind of looks better because of that. I love my kitchen room now - it’s just a bunch of DIY tables and some utensils, etc but it looks cool y’know

Trying to build out some kind of bamboo grove/garden, and failing. Five attempts and no bamboo nook island either. 

 

It's not conclusive but I tried that trick of flirting with Orville today by running through all the "good" emotes and got my first bamboo island ever after a run of crap ones.

Agree with all of you. I think most people go overboard when they first get their pathways and strip back their efforts when everything becomes too urban and regimented; by the time they get the cliff/water editor there's more moderation. Working with and around the land - rather than just carving convenient right angles into cliff-faces for parking lots - works well. It's definitely obvious when someone inventively builds a village into some land rather than the other way around. 

 

Of course it's fun when someone just makes a huge flat city or an archipelago but with the 'one island' restriction build like that aren't for me.

Me too. I like this idea more than some of the designs I've seen people doing on Reddit and the like. Perfectly straight and manicured rivers don't do it for me. I 'had' to relocate a branch of my river towards another direction and I went to pains to make it wibbly to try and make it look more natural.

But you get the pathways and the cliff/water editor at the same time. Or at least I did. So there's no stripping back here - I'm about to go nuts with it all at the same time.

He might. Not sure on the chances but he can sell it to a random.
