    For people feeling decorating burnout, here's what i did. I went online to one of those acnh map planners and spaced out the layout i wanted. Then i started redecorating, but heres the catch!! I didny use custom pathways everywhere, I didnt overcomplicate it, i decorated my island to look like it was animal crossing!!! Taking off all the pressure helped me revive my love for the game and ive been able to enjoy decorating. I dont feel like nothing is ever done well enough or anything! This isnt for everyone but I'm telling yall, if you need a breath of fresh air? Use the pathing the game gives you, dont overcomplicate the areas!!! I only used 2 custom design things, and its chalk drawings in my school-yard. Ive been really loving redoing it all

    As someone who has done or is doing everything on this list, these are the rules I have for my main island to never restart it. 1) Complete the museum 2) Complete the catalog 3) Get all bug and fish models 4) Get every villager photo (I own all of the amiibo cards) 5) Complete all nook miles goals 6) Get all DIYs and cooking recipes 7) (optional) Whenever tired of a certain theme, complete it and release a dream address, then flatten and start over

    I’m so glad I decided to keep my island as a random theme, especially since some people will move out villagers that don’t meet a theme. Dream villager hunting is, in my opinion, a great way to spend time, but it can be very tedious to get the villager I want to move out of my island, especially because there’s not a good way to do it. Getting Tom, Static, Jeremiah, Teddy, and Judy on my island was worth it, even if it meant saying goodbye to Fang, Elvis, Phoebe, Sasha, and Willow. Edit: Okay, all of the villagers I said in this text have moved out.
  • For Happy Home Paradise - if I wanna get rid of a villager but I still like that villager, I'll make them a vacation home. So when they move out, I won't feel as bad when they go lol. I just wish previous villagers in your game would remember you 😭 at least a little bit! (Especially when you go hunting for a new villager and you run into your old ones)
  • Your suggestions are amazing! Unfortunately for me, I've already done every single one of them! I feel like my original forever island is 100% complete and I only log onto it to visit, change decorations for holidays or seasonally. My solution was to buy another Switch and play a second ACNH game that I can restart whenever I feel like it!

    Gyroids reinvigorated my love for AC. The only issue is that there are 190 different variants and rooms only allow you to fill up to 150 spaces so I can't put all of them in one room. This is a shame because together they all make a song and as you add more the song gets richer. I really wish they would increase this limit. Sure, my basement walls are all covered, but I still have floor space, dangit!
  • I feel like this list is for a person that is willing to go through soo much extra stuff that the game won't really reward you to do. Collecting every villager's photo is cool until you realize you only like a villager for their looks and talking to them every day is not fun to do. Collecting every flower, bug, and fish is nice to have a basic checklist, but it won't change the fact that these are supposed to be optional achievements. It won't completely change the game and make it new like it once was. It's extra work that not everybody wants to go through. That's why many people get burnout. There is nothing new left to accomplish from the game itself and eventually doing these tedious tasks will leave a person feeling empty again. Whenever I go through videos that are supposed to help with burnout, I realize that decorating or collecting everything won't make me enjoy the game again. I hope these tasks help others. I just wanted to provide my two cents and move on.

    I think it's hilarious that most of these tips are what actually gave me burnout in the first place lmao what helped me xas getting into making my own custom codes
  • @allicat329
    Right now I am getting every villager photo in game; I have 63 out of 413. It's a stretch goal I have for NH. I have been playing Animal Crossing snice WW. I have never been so dedicated to a game. It's really fun. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Keep doing you.

    I plated daily for a full year but now only visit occasionally. Having extra switch profiles gives you the feel of restarting without losing your island progress. It's also a way to buy multiple artwork on the rare occasions Red sells more than one real artwork. I like the creative aspects of pattern designs. Some groups have design challenges for clothing etc.

    I got ACNH at launch, but never could get into it, despite the adorable villagers, whom I love. Finally, all these years later, I watched froggycrossing's 30 Day No Items Challenge series, and did it myself! I completed an island, did it in 30 days with no Nintendo Online, and didn't use anything that looked like a leaf in my inventory. That was really the only time the game was fun for me, though, so I'll just watch YouTubers do cool stuff, instead.

    I love time traveling. I don’t play everyday so I’ll go a few months without playing then when I want to play again I just catch up from the last time I played. It makes me feel like I’m not missing out by not playing and gives me more to do
  • @Steph_PeachKoopa
    Almost 4000 played hours, never restarted, started my island March 20 2020, I still play. And I still play with my new leaf town after 8years
  • I've been playing daily for over 3 years and I still loved this video list!
  • @bhzaddybhzolby1705
    I got this game about 3 weeks ago and I have a friend who's played for a while and we're both kinda helping each other and looking at all the cool stuff we get or seeing how we decorate our islands whenever I go to his house and we play on local mode. I think it's really fun when you have some friends to play it with especially when you're starting out and don't really know what you're doing.
  • @Korikocrossing2250
    I'm trying to get every villager photo...which is taking a looong time. That keeps it fun for me.
  • @raleo7466
    I don't know, this video feels like it was done just for half the fanbase, the ones who overdecorate and have everything controlled. It just looks like there's nothing to do if you prefer a life simulator apart from "completing the game" even more. I wish villagers had a bit of a personality or a few more lines, they really feel empty
