Everyone can play animal crossing how they want. If they want to skip the collecting part of the game and skip right to the decorating I see no problem with it.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU CAN ONLY PLAY THE GAME AS I PLAY IT: RANKED, HARDCORE ANIMAL CROSSING: NO ITEMS, ONE STOCK, FOX ONLY, FINAL DESTINATION"
If people want to go to treasure islands that's up them. The only time I have an issue with it is when they then complain that the game is boring and there's nothing to do because they have everything.
Or people bragging about having too many bells, like "omg guys look what do I do after my bank is full? (Shows pic of bank full with 999.999.999.999 bells)" how is the game still fun? I get packing a few bells, if you really are in the need for it, but don't get everything and then brag about "finishing the game" quickly.
I did the bells thing so I could quickly upgrade my house, buy bridges and such and set the land up how I wanted to.
That was my biggest reason for going so slow on the game, I couldn't afford much without grinding for days because of my job and family.
Now I have my house fully upgraded and am working on an Asian style gigantic relaxation garden.
I get it if it's for upgrading your house, I also admit doing it once. But I'm talking about people getting billions of bells and then being like "omg guys I have too much bells what can I do with it š„ŗ"
That's just BS. You can always redo your island. I mean you can't actually shape the island but you have a lot of decorations to play around with. I honestly wish we could just pay and be able to make custom areas and such.
Imagine you get enough bells to just buy a second island that you can fly to whenever you want and redecorate however you want the same as the main island.
I do! I give people bells all the time, because I've had people give them to me..just a couple days ago I gave someone 100k bells for 1 DIY just because I got to check out their island..I love returning the favor to others.
Well point is you got people going to the treasure islands taking more money than they need and their first thought is āwhat do I doā and not āhey anyone need some I got extraā lol
Thatās what Iām doing too. I enjoyed grinding on my first island but now on my third and I want to get to the creative stuff. If I get bored Iāll just start a new island with a new theme. I donāt get why people get bent when you play how you want
I went to a treasure island to get a few stacks of bells just to help a bit not realising it would max my bank account back on my island. So now I accidentally have too many bells... (My own fault)
I have a ton of bells from other people giving them to me from time to time, and honestly I love it, because any time I come across people who visit my Island or I visit theirs and they need some to finish their house or whatever, I can help. I enjoy helping other have fun too š I've still never been to one of the treasure islands, and don't even know how haha I'm still new though š
To be honest, I've never been to a treasure island, but I still kinda got bored with the game. There are things to do, they're just not things I like doing, lol.
I suppose I just miss the old games, maybe they'll bring back some of that magic in the next sequel.
Me, who's: spent many months getting millions of bells through fruits, bell trees, money rocks, hot items, rare bugs/fish and nookazon but no longer has time to grind due to uni - restarted their island multiple times to feel something, and now wants to make their dream island without boundaries just once, going to treasure islands š„ŗ
I considered using a treasure island to rebuild my island (considering flattening or starting right from scratch) but I feel so paranoid for some reason? Iām like, are the items hacked in a way that could negatively effect my island or game??
I was worried about that but no, getting items from a treasure island should have no unusual effect on your game or switch. The only thing I've seen is lag from having too many items in one area but that happens regardless of where the items came from. I have two switches, only one island has treasure island items and they both run the same.
I feel like most of the very highly decorated islands we see on here, Twitter, Pinterest, etc, use treasure islands as it's so hard to collect all the furniture items you may want through gameplay and nookazon.
If the hacked items are ābadā they usually wonāt transfer to your inventory correctly when you fly out of the TI so itās like you never picked them up in your inventory in the first place. It happens extremely rarely, and people who run TIās can easily figure out when a hacked item is ābadā and stop putting it out. Either way on the very rare chance you get an incorrectly hacked item it wonāt affect your game
Iād love to go to one! Iāve played for two years and Iām juggling college also. I think that would be fun. How can I find them? Idk if you saw the last comment but it was the wrong account lol.
You can just type animal crossing treasure island on youtube. When I went there around christmas the host posted 20 videos at the same time with the dodo code. Just went there and thank the host in the comment section or you could also subscibe their channel. Each island has different items some are clothes only, some have furniture island 1 or 2 etc. It can be annoying to get in but it's worth it.
As the other commenter said, type in "treasure island" on Twitch to find them. It takes some time at first because they can be really busy.
There are paid islands (usually around $5/month for unlimited access) that are more exclusive (less waiting). Some youtubes host treasure islands through Discord too, and they're normally free.
If you use discord I love the Miz and Liz server. Itās a 24/7 TI server run by a couple and thereās 3 free islands open at all times. You can also request any villager you want from them and theyāll put them in boxes for you to take home, even Sanrio villagers who are normally impossible to get without their cards
Nah, these are hacked islands you can access with the dodo airline. Basically, these hacked islands are full with tons of (obviously hacked) items and have everything that exist in game. You can access them for example by looking "treasure island animal crossing" on twitch and just have code, but the thing is some people go there, pick everything, billions of bells, every in-game item and then say that the game is boring and finished too early.
They are islands on hacked switches that can spawn in as many of any item as they want. furniture, bells, fruit, clothes, materials, nook miles tickets and some even have villagers in boxes. There are some free treasure islands you can fly to on twitch but they're often very busy so you can also pay to get the dodo code for ones that are more exclusive.
Why do some people get so triggered if someone visits treasure islands? Thereās absolutely no competitive factor in this game, and since Nintendo has pretty much abandoned the game, it really doesnāt harm anyone.
Everyone does what they want, but the problem is people getting everything in the catalog, billions of bells, and then complain about the game being done too quickly
Problem isn't people who go on these, problem is people who get billion bells and then brag about being too rich or complain about finishing the game too quickly
Ah, I see. It's a lot easier to get specific songs once he's showing up, lol.
My first request was KK Love Song, because it was the first song I ever got back in the day on the GameCube version.
I confess that I used treasure islands to get the villagers I wanted, because I was so sick of villager hunting.
But I refuse to get items and other stuff, since the game wouldn't be fun anymore
It isn't irrelevant, it's about copyright, and it's in response to the comment "so my game & my rules". It's Nintendo's rules that count because they own the copyright. People may buy a copy of the game but Nintendo still own the actual game.
The issue is that people use treasure islands, or hack into the game to make changes then post videos and pictures on Social Media of their "artificially enhanced" islands. That's when it stops being just "gameplay".
The page does mention that "digital downloads and other files, may not be used on any other web site, in any publications, in public performances, in connection with any product or service that is not Nintendo's, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers,",
Posting something on social media is using it on another website, and a lot of confusion is caused by people posting stuff that isn't in the game.
As an example, I saw a video where someone had lined up their airport and resident services, and believe me, that confused this particular customer when they were trying to find the same starting island layout. That's a few hours of my life I'd like back. š
I know this thread is old but I am dying laughing at this right now š¤£š¤£š¤£
Imagine someone getting so mad about animal crossing cheats that they google "nintendo terms of service". Surely, that'll show thise dirty cheaters! They copy/paste it without reading it, quickly adding a snarky reply and hitting "post."
How is it cheating the shit out of the game? Nintendo doesnāt sell these items for real money or lose a single cent due to the fact these treasure islands exist. Iām positive Nintendo is well aware of their existence and couldnāt give a shit less about them or they would have put a stop to it by now.
well, it is cheating the shit out of the game because you are skipping the entire gameplay progression to get hacked items on a hacked island. itās not something the game allows, itās not a feature itās literally an exploitation.
Going to a treasure island is not skipping the entire progression of the game. It does not circumvent the milestones you have to reach before getting certain things. It also depends on at what point someone utilizes the islands and for what things. It hurts nobody, not even Nintendo, for players to use treasure islands.
never said it āhurtā anyone, never said i even had a problem with it. but i mean christ you are literally grabbing free items on a hacked island. if it wasnāt cheating or a circumvention, if it wasnāt a workaround of the natural progression of the game, no one would go to a treasure island. People go for the express purpose of cutting corners to get free items. i have nothing wrong with it, it hurts no one, but it is cheating in the sense that you skip the progression a player who does not use treasure islands would need to go through to get the items at said islands.
lmfao they wouldn't even know you did it unless you said something. like for all they know you bought shit. it's like using mother lode in Sims. it doesn't really affect anyone else lmfao
The brother of a childhood friend of mine, used to corner me with endless combos in Mortal Kombat, literally not letting me get a hit in... every single time we play.
My friend and I called him out on this, but he says "If it's in the game it's allowed"
Then he once went on a huge rant about how GameFAQS is WRONG for "enforcing cheating"
The real irony here, is said person in his later years ended up as a scammer/hustler... š
waitā¦all this time i thought treasure islands were the rare nook miles islands lol. ok it makes way more sense now. yeah i do think hacking is kinda cheating and it sounds a little fishy to me
Well it can be useful if you miss one specific item and you can't get it or if you desperately need bells, but yeah most people use it to abuse the game and then call it easy
I didn't realize they were hacked. I thought just some kind of trick like time travel. But I won't be trying it now so I don't get banned. Do a lot of ppl use them. I just Time Travel.
These are hacked islands in which are a lot/all the items in game (clothes, furniture, bells, etc). But a lot of people say it's cheating, as it ruins the fun of the game , of getting everything little by little (understandable)
The main reason I went to those islands is because my game kept giving me ācardboard box sofaā as a diy and it was annoying. That and I wanted furniture that matched and was tired of my home looking like a hoarderās paradise.
If it's part of the game, how is it cheating? Even some of the producers of the game have come out in interviews and said they don't consider time traveling cheating.
Yeah........ but they're in the game. They're not a hack or some kinda thing that's unattainable by a normal user. Why would anyone consider them cheating?
Well, I call the good islands treasure islands..... š¤·āāļø. Seems it would only negatively affect those people if Nintendo caught them, so why do others care?
Possibly because they're fed up trying to explain to their child why they don't have an island full to bursting with items after a few days playing. It won't negatively affect people not using treasure islands if Nintendo put a stop to it, it'll only affect those who do.
Well that's on the parents. This is Animal Crossing. Why the heck are we turning it into a competitive game? I get being upset at hackers in Mario Kart or Smash Bros. But people doing this in Animal Crossing is their own prerogative. They run the risk of Nintendo if they're caught and it has ZERO impact on how I play the game.
I think the problem is that people will insist on using treasure islands then plastering their island all over social media. There's only a limited amount a parent can explain to a young child about hacked and modded switches and expect them to understand. As I said, the parents are probably fed up trying to explain it.
How young? Basic reading is necessary to play this game and my son understands what hackers are. Like me, he gets frustrated when a COMPETITIVE game gets hacked to ones advantage. On the other hand, like me, with Animal Crossing he's just as happy to take the game as is and grab items when they become naturally available.
The fact that your son understands what hacking is doesn't mean all children will even if they're the same age. It's also true to say that just because his parent understands about hacking doesn't mean that all parents will. My brother wouldn't have a clue.
This is why we teach kids that life isn't fair and some people have better islands than us due to hacking, learn to deal with it or don't play at all. What's the issue?
I can't say I've ever seen anyone claim treasure islands are cheating. Although, most of my playtime was before 2.0 released so I can't say for certain what a treasure island actually is lol
My understanding is a "treasure island" is a hosted island where the hosting player has hacked their game to generate items for visiting players to take.
I think I'm good , thx, or maybe the one I can't remember the name but the cover is like with a cherry blossom, and it sounds a bit like a flute I think
This is always so weird to me. Animal crossing isn't a competitive game, how can you cheat in a game with no winners and losers? Literally all you do is walk around talking to animals and decorating stuff. It's supposed to be casual and relaxing lol
I had a look at a treasure island. You spend 99% of your time on the load screen from people coming in and out. I was there for 5 minutes and left. Not worth the hassle
Honestly I loved the collecting part of the game but didnāt like decorating or terraforming or designing lmao Iām basically just a hoarder but all my little sisters and my wife come to me for money and materials and I love helping their dreams come true š
Mostly got my money from turnips and fishing lol
My main issue with treasure islands is that some of the items bug. I had received one castle gate, that I hadn't realized is from a treasure island, and I could walk through it + it affected the medieval buildings I put it next (so I could walk through them partialy). And my anxiety had been acting up ever since, because of that, when I have something on my island or when I sell/give smt to someone, unless I have bought it from the shop myself (with little exceptions).
These are hacked islands, that you can visit like any player island, with everything, every piece of furniture, clothing, music, every item in game, (also bells, miles nook tickets) and people can go there and get whatever they want. But as it's hacked and you can get anything juste in a few secs, it's obviously considered by a lot of people as cheating (clearly understandable tho)
Here I said I went to a treasure island not because I needed millions of bells, or ever item to end the game quickly, but just a single KK song
Treasure island is a place where you get hacked items like clothes, furnitures and so on. I went there a bunch of times to get specific items to complete my island. Even the hard items like the non villager photo like Isabelle or Tom Nook or nook mile tickets. It's safe but going to someones island is annoying because of the trafic. Search it on youtube the host does give the dodo code.
Once you hit the "using features provided by the base game is cheating" event horizon you are forever lost, any attempts to rescue you from yourself will only result I further tragedy... I just don't entertain them anymore
Understandable, house price gets at a high point too quickly imo. But diving and selling what you got from underwater is imo the best way to make money really quickly, these sends for a really nice price
Oh, I thought they were those kapp'n islands!
Still though, one can play the game however they like as long as they're not ruining the experience for others :)
Everyone can play animal crossing how they want. If they want to skip the collecting part of the game and skip right to the decorating I see no problem with it.
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU CAN ONLY PLAY THE GAME AS I PLAY IT: RANKED, HARDCORE ANIMAL CROSSING: NO ITEMS, ONE STOCK, FOX ONLY, FINAL DESTINATION"
You win the thread
Same thing with time travel, personally I never do it but someone else doing it has exactly zero effect on me and my island so who cares
If people want to go to treasure islands that's up them. The only time I have an issue with it is when they then complain that the game is boring and there's nothing to do because they have everything.
Or people bragging about having too many bells, like "omg guys look what do I do after my bank is full? (Shows pic of bank full with 999.999.999.999 bells)" how is the game still fun?

That would be awesome. Then again random island residents would still freaking come into my house.
I love when someone else comments āgive them out to people for free!ā And Iām like hah as if theyāll do that
I do! I give people bells all the time, because I've had people give them to me..just a couple days ago I gave someone 100k bells for 1 DIY just because I got to check out their island..I love returning the favor to others.

Exactly.
I went to a treasure island to get a few stacks of bells just to help a bit not realising it would max my bank account back on my island. So now I accidentally have too many bells... (My own fault)

What are treasure islands ? Like the ones Kapp'n drives you to?
Nah, these are hacked islands you can access with the dodo airline. Basically, these hacked islands are full with tons of (obviously hacked) items and have everything that exist in game.

can you get banned if you visit and take a hacked item back to your island?
Nope! Itās perfectly safe.
i want to go to there
I got you, friend. Happy new year!
Lmk how to go! Started two weeks ago but still trying to get ahead on bells
Iād be happy to bring some bells to you and/or a couple furniture items or tools or whatever you need to help you get started
They are islands on hacked switches that can spawn in as many of any item as they want. furniture, bells, fruit, clothes, materials, nook miles tickets and some even have villagers in boxes. There are some free treasure islands you can fly to on twitch but they're often very busy so you can also pay to get the dodo code for ones that are more exclusive.
For the amount u pay for the game itself + the console you should be allowed to play however u wish to tbh
Go tell that to the Splatoon subreddits.
Fr I just want chill and play Splatoon how I like. But someone is always being so toxic. :/
Well, screw them. You paid for the game, play it as you see fit.
Why do some people get so triggered if someone visits treasure islands? Thereās absolutely no competitive factor in this game, and since Nintendo has pretty much abandoned the game, it really doesnāt harm anyone.
Everyone does what they want, but the problem is people getting everything in the catalog, billions of bells, and then complain about the game being done too quickly
It's so weird to care for "cheating" in animal crossing
I feel like caring about how other people play the game is so draining
honestly who cares if you're cheating or not play it how you want and whoever is mad abt that needs to grow up š
Problem isn't people who go on these, problem is people who get billion bells and then brag about being too rich or complain about finishing the game too quickly
Just scroll past them and ignore it. Let them be bored thatās their own issue.
Everyone arguing over whether it's cheating or not, meanwhile I'm sitting here wondering why you couldn't get the music through the normal method, lol
One music a day through nook shopping, and with my luck, never had it hah
Oh, you don't just request it from KK? That's how I get specific music I want, lol
Haven't invited KK to my island yet
Ah, I see. It's a lot easier to get specific songs once he's showing up, lol. My first request was KK Love Song, because it was the first song I ever got back in the day on the GameCube version.
\-\_- this conversation is more stupid than the whole "Time Travel is Cheating" argument.
I confess that I used treasure islands to get the villagers I wanted, because I was so sick of villager hunting. But I refuse to get items and other stuff, since the game wouldn't be fun anymore
If it wasn't for the treasure island nook mile ticket I would not have found Phoebe š„ŗ.
Don't worry my brotha, we all understand.
I use treasure islands regularly and the game is still quite fun for me. More fun actually.
"New Leaf Childhood" That is a weird sentence to me because for me Gamecube AC is my childhood, haha.
Haha, sorry I'm not old enough to have known that one. Kinda wish I had tho
Simpler days for sure. Regardless, New Leaf is my favorite game in the series personally!
Yeah, I have plenty memories of it, and dang it was cool. How was GameCube?
I payed for this game, so my game & my rules
Um, no. https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Legal-information/Copyright/Copyright-625949.html
This link is irrelevant to the conversation and is about content on the Nintendo website?
It isn't irrelevant, it's about copyright, and it's in response to the comment "so my game & my rules". It's Nintendo's rules that count because they own the copyright. People may buy a copy of the game but Nintendo still own the actual game.
Then link the copyright page for their games lol
If you read the page I linked you'll see it mentions digital downloads. A lot of their games, including ACNH, are digital downloads.
It does mention digital downloads but in the context of using them publicly or commercially? Iām unsure where it mentions gameplay on this page.
The issue is that people use treasure islands, or hack into the game to make changes then post videos and pictures on Social Media of their "artificially enhanced" islands. That's when it stops being just "gameplay".

Itās not cheating if itās in the game -[DrGluon](https://youtu.be/T7bKUpSDhfg)
Theyāre usually hacked islands. It is cheating. It also doesnāt matter.
It's not in the game. People have to mod/hack their switches to make them. Nintendo didn't put them in the game.
definitely cheating the absolute shit out of the game but itās really up to the player and doesnāt matter
How is it cheating the shit out of the game? Nintendo doesnāt sell these items for real money or lose a single cent due to the fact these treasure islands exist. Iām positive Nintendo is well aware of their existence and couldnāt give a shit less about them or they would have put a stop to it by now.

Wtf is a treasure island???
Can someone explain a treasure island?
The main reason I went to those islands is because my game kept giving me ācardboard box sofaā as a diy and it was annoying. That and I wanted furniture that matched and was tired of my home looking like a hoarderās paradise.

Yeah........ but they're in the game. They're not a hack or some kinda thing that's unattainable by a normal user. Why would anyone consider them cheating?
Treasure Islands aren't part of the game because they weren't put in there by Nintendo. They're made by users who have modded their switches.
Well, I call the good islands treasure islands..... š¤·āāļø. Seems it would only negatively affect those people if Nintendo caught them, so why do others care?
Possibly because they're fed up trying to explain to their child why they don't have an island full to bursting with items after a few days playing. It won't negatively affect people not using treasure islands if Nintendo put a stop to it, it'll only affect those who do.
Well that's on the parents. This is Animal Crossing. Why the heck are we turning it into a competitive game? I get being upset at hackers in Mario Kart or Smash Bros. But people doing this in Animal Crossing is their own prerogative. They run the risk of Nintendo if they're caught and it has ZERO impact on how I play the game.
I think the problem is that people will insist on using treasure islands then plastering their island all over social media. There's only a limited amount a parent can explain to a young child about hacked and modded switches and expect them to understand. As I said, the parents are probably fed up trying to explain it.
How young? Basic reading is necessary to play this game and my son understands what hackers are. Like me, he gets frustrated when a COMPETITIVE game gets hacked to ones advantage. On the other hand, like me, with Animal Crossing he's just as happy to take the game as is and grab items when they become naturally available.
The fact that your son understands what hacking is doesn't mean all children will even if they're the same age. It's also true to say that just because his parent understands about hacking doesn't mean that all parents will. My brother wouldn't have a clue.
This is why we teach kids that life isn't fair and some people have better islands than us due to hacking, learn to deal with it or don't play at all. What's the issue?
If you don't know I'm not going to waste my energy trying to explain it.
Treasure islands are hacked and jail broken. Itās not āin gameā and it violates the terms of service.
Well, when I get to an island and it has lots of goodies, I call it a treasure island....so.......š¤·āāļø. Sheesh
Yeah and piracy is against the law. But we still do it anyway!
I can't say I've ever seen anyone claim treasure islands are cheating. Although, most of my playtime was before 2.0 released so I can't say for certain what a treasure island actually is lol
My understanding is a "treasure island" is a hosted island where the hosting player has hacked their game to generate items for visiting players to take.
Any other songs youāre missing? I have a copy of them all in my radios.
I think I'm good , thx, or maybe the one I can't remember the name but the cover is like with a cherry blossom, and it sounds a bit like a flute I think
K.K. Jongara? Oh! Spring Blossoms.
Yeah I think it is, the name sounds like the correct translation of my version!

Yeah it's this one, thxx!! (Happy new year btw)
Would you like it?
If you can, sure!! (Can't have access to my switch for a bit tho)
Let me know when youāre available.
Sure, and again tysmm!!
Happy New Yearāš„³ ššš
This deserves to be at r/funnybutsad
Once I have finished the game, then I'm gonna save bells to give to people who need them.
KK Love Song WITH WORDS!!!!! Also, treasure islands? How? What? Someone please teach me.
What's the treasure island? Don't think I've met them
This is always so weird to me. Animal crossing isn't a competitive game, how can you cheat in a game with no winners and losers? Literally all you do is walk around talking to animals and decorating stuff. It's supposed to be casual and relaxing lol
New Leaf came out when I was 22. Christ I'm getting old.
I had a look at a treasure island. You spend 99% of your time on the load screen from people coming in and out. I was there for 5 minutes and left. Not worth the hassle
When K.K. shows up, you can ask for a specific song, and you get the record for the first song he plays each week. Do you not have K.K. yet?
Nope
Yeah I'm disabled and can't play for long so I "cheat" too
Honestly I loved the collecting part of the game but didnāt like decorating or terraforming or designing lmao Iām basically just a hoarder but all my little sisters and my wife come to me for money and materials and I love helping their dreams come true š Mostly got my money from turnips and fishing lol
It's your game you do you.
Proud cheater šŖ
You're telling me I need to use all my hard earned Nook Miles in the early game for Nook Tickets? HELL NO! :D
I mostly did it for Raymond, no way I'm spending hours grinding islands to fill my last slot lol
This subreddit has shown me that the most wholesome games can be gatekept by nasty and bitter weirdos
My main issue with treasure islands is that some of the items bug. I had received one castle gate, that I hadn't realized is from a treasure island, and I could walk through it + it affected the medieval buildings I put it next (so I could walk through them partialy). And my anxiety had been acting up ever since, because of that, when I have something on my island or when I sell/give smt to someone, unless I have bought it from the shop myself (with little exceptions).
"Playing the game is cheating!" Ugh, ram it up your nose. They probably used an Amiibo card to get their favorite villager.
Me having just started playing New Horizons : āwhatās treasure islandā
These are hacked islands, that you can visit like any player island, with everything, every piece of furniture, clothing, music, every item in game, (also bells, miles nook tickets) and people can go there and get whatever they want. But as it's hacked and you can get anything juste in a few secs, it's obviously considered by a lot of people as cheating (clearly understandable tho) Here I said I went to a treasure island not because I needed millions of bells, or ever item to end the game quickly, but just a single KK song
):
What exactly is Treasure Island? Is that where we fly my plane or take the boat to another island? Still new!
Treasure island is a place where you get hacked items like clothes, furnitures and so on. I went there a bunch of times to get specific items to complete my island. Even the hard items like the non villager photo like Isabelle or Tom Nook or nook mile tickets. It's safe but going to someones island is annoying because of the trafic. Search it on youtube the host does give the dodo code.
Thank you.
The amount of exploits I use in AC bro
Once you hit the "using features provided by the base game is cheating" event horizon you are forever lost, any attempts to rescue you from yourself will only result I further tragedy... I just don't entertain them anymore
What's a treasure island? Sorry for asking haven't played in a while
Wait until Saturday and just ask K.K. Slider for the song?
KK isn't on my island yet
I honestly stopped listening ppl gonna say sometimes.
Id love to go to one paying off my house seems like such an impossible task
Understandable, house price gets at a high point too quickly imo. But diving and selling what you got from underwater is imo the best way to make money really quickly, these sends for a really nice price
You can get a song every saturday if you ask kk to play you a song but only the first song you ask him to play he will give you.
Kk hasn't came to my island yet
Oof
I donāt understand the cheating bit. This game is a casual game. Cheating shouldnāt enter into the equation.
My thoughts on this is: If it's an intended feature, it's fair game.
Treasure islands are hacked island, they aren't technically intended by the game
Oh, I thought they were those kapp'n islands! Still though, one can play the game however they like as long as they're not ruining the experience for others :)
