  • I also restart often! Like you, I really enjoy the first week or so of island play where my efforts are spend cleaning and planning. I find I get bored as things come into play, and I end up doing a lot of time travel. I’m determined to do this one without time travel, but we’ll see how long that lasts. So far, so good.

    I don’t really have any interesting areas yet because my catalogue is so limited. I’ve been designing in HHP trying to unlock that sweet, sweet catalogue so I can start ordering things for villager yards. This is my first design with designated villager yard areas.

    I’ve never looked into weather seeds. What do you end up using it for most often?












  • Thank you!

    I don’t care what the reasoning is behind the decision (customer feedback vs. changes to safety ratings), I’m just glad it’s happening and I hope all manufacturers follow suit.

    This has been my gripe with new cars ever since I found myself needing one in 2022. Everything I looked at had a huge infotainment system front-ending climate and cabin controls. Want to turn your steering wheel heat off mid drive? Ha! Tap this specific spot on this screen 3 times and hope the car doesn’t bounce while you’re doing so or you’ll accidentally turn something else on. Want to use voice controls? Joke’s on you, they only work 50% of the time.

    God forbid something happens to the control board (which costs thousands of dollars to replace if you’re outside warranty), because then you’re completely hosed.

    You know what always worked without fail? The buttons in my 2005 Corolla.









  • Spider plants.

    The expression on my husband’s face when I found a sad spider plant after Halloween and said “Do you think I can save it?” would tell you everything you need to know about how well I keep plants. I’ve got two black thumbs.

    Somehow, though, I’ve kept this reject spider plant alive for 6 years, and propagated it to make dozens of plants for other folks.

    I’ve absolutely neglected this thing, and somehow it loves it. Water? Might happen weekly, might happen monthly. Sunlight? I forget to open the blinds half the time. Laves crusting up? I just chop them off and hope for the best. It’s indestructible!
