Animal Crossing New Horizons guide

ACNH guide

1. The start

When you start, you will be given a tent. Place the tent somewhere, but choosing the location is important. Place it near the river if you want to fish and hang out on the beach. Place the tent near the trees if you are a gardener. Want a normal life? place it near the resident services tent! 

2. Fishing, chopping wood, catching bugs.

After the tent, a racoon (tom nook) will come and teach you about diy. DIY can by used to make tools. Worry about decoration later. For now, focus on tools. Cast the rod into the water, and wait for a fish to come. Fish are black-shaped raindrops, exept sideways. The more smaller the fish is, the more rarer it is. Let the fish go to the bobber. Wait for the fish to pull down the bobber. If the fish bumps the bobber and flows back a little, DO NOT pull up the bobber. Wait for the fish to PULL DOWN the bobber, you will hear a "kablpoosh" noise. Then, spam "A" button. You will reel it up. Later on, there will be a museum, but we will get to that later. Bugs are easy. Get a net, go up to a bug, press "A" when you think you are close enough to getting it. The net will swoop down and get it.

3. House, museum, villagers.

Pay of your 5,000 nook miles to get a real house. Then, talk to your villager freinds. Make freinds with them, then they will soon befreind you. Once you talk to them 20 times, you will unlock the "do you want this?" When you talk to them. You can trade stuff with them with this." Go to tom nook, and give 20 fish+insects. (20 altogether, 10 fish, 10 insects). The next day, tom nook will have a "phone call" with someone, who turns out to be blathers, the owner of the museum. Blathers will come to your island, but tom will give you the museum kit for you to decide where to place it.  The next day, there will be a tent, brown with a own logo on it. That is the museum tent. Donate another 15 creatures to blathers (the owl) And he will open a museum. When the museum opens, and you have a new creature, go talk to blathers and click "i want to donate." 

4. Nooks cranny

After you build the museum, tom nook will request you to make a shop. 30x of each wood, 30x of iron nuggets (we'll asume you got a axe and shovel, and other tools.) Give theese to timmy/tommy, and then they will give you the kit and blah blah choose location blah~ I won't talk about nooks cranny shop, don't wanna spoil it~

5. Able sisters

There will be a blue hedgehog talking to timmy and tommy, her name is mabel. She sells clothes. Spend 5000 bells at her stall, and she asks you to build a shop: able sisters. I don't wanna spoil!

6. Aftermath

After that, you should be able to do everything else. I taught you all you need to do good. Have fun!
