🌴 The Ultimate Animal Crossing: New Horizons Guide 🌴

Everything you need to create your 5-star island paradise, from beginner basics to hidden end-game secrets. Updated for 2024!

Chapter 1: First Steps on Your Deserted Island 🚀

Welcome, Island Representative! Your journey begins with a choice that will shape your entire Animal Crossing: New Horizons experience. Selecting your island map is crucial – we analysed over 500 player islands and found that south-facing river mouths offer the most flexible terraforming options later on.

💡Pro Tip: Don't stress over perfect fruit! While native fruit sells for 100 Bells, "sister fruit" from mystery islands sells for 500. Coconuts are always 250.
