It’s been a bit since I’ve talked about Animal Crossing New Horizons and my attempt to complete all the achievements possible by the end of the year. In all actuality, I think it’s been about since April since I really talked about it. So here, have a pretty decent update.
Up until about August, I played every single day without fail. Did I play for long every day? No, not really. I would play more on the weekends, but I had made it part of my daily routine to play at least half an hour daily to do at least the five daily Nook Mile Plus achievements and slowly work towards other goals.
Around August, things started to taper off. I got busy with other things and I started missing days and weeks. I had to start utilizing one of the biggest tricks in playing the game, which is time travel, only so that I could get a few certain events that I’d missed use to non-playing. (I have one more at the time of this post, the last fishing event of 2022). I hadn’t wanted to time travel, so I’m trying to limit it to only when I absolutely need it for certain hard dates that can’t be changed.
I will say that I am two creatures away from legitimately completing my museum. I have two sea creatures left to grab, both of which I think I can still get (October and November were my downfall I swear). I got lucky with Redd and my fossils early on and was also gifted several art pieces by a few other players.
As for achievements, I mostly have the long achievements left to collect. The ones such as catch 5000 bugs or fish, or collect a certain amount of wood, or see a certain amount of concerts (which can’t be completed until next year, because I have to see 100 KK slider concerts). I also have to somehow do nine more perfect snowmen, something I struggled with at the beginning of the year, so I’m not looking forward to it very soon. I do have some small achievements to knock out, I’m just saving those for a rainy day, I swear.
If I can get my stream up and working one of these days (it’s on my list), I’m hoping to invite people to my island so that I can get that achievement out of the way.
Basically, I’ve done a lot with this game, I have a lot left to go, but I’m still enjoying it.
Just someone explain why crafting still sucks all these years later? /s
Until next time!
