I’ve always wondered if modding is actually controversial in the animal crossing community or if we’re all still scarred from the star fragment tree era
well it's not like nintendo is gonna add any more content, they basically abandoned it to go work on splatoon 3. I'd say mod to your hearts content for sure, these mods are beautiful!!
The only issue is how annoying Switches are to mod compared to everything else. You either need to have an old vanilla Switch with an unpatched chip, have one on a very specific OS version, or solder something in its circuits. This will likely limit it compared to New Leaf modding.
It’s always made me kind of sad modding has been kind of controversial in the ACNH community. I’ve always loved modding games like Minecraft, Stardew valley, and Sims four and I think that acnh has Some real potential to have some amazing mods! From this video it looks like it already has some pretty great ones as well!
feel like that's mostly Nintendos fault which is part of why one of my mantras is f Nintendo (even though I love many Nintendo games... maby it's because)
I think so much of the stigma largely stems from Nintendo unfortunately. With Sims 4 and Stardew Valley, it's so incredibly easy to just drop mods in a folder, load up your game, and see instant results. Nintendo purposefully makes it difficult to deter people from doing it, and while I'm a huge Nintendo girl, this is one aspect I really dislike about the company. This video has really made me want to try, though. I have been experiencing a lot of burnout with my current island, and I want to complete it so badly, but maybe this is the push that I need. You've given me a lot to think about! I am going to join the discord and hopefully get some much needed inspo. Thank you for this!
hehe thanks for watching and for your input! i’ve actually created a much more organized discord for the modding community that i think you’d enjoy! we’ve got a bunch of mod creators and people just modding their islands alike- discord.gg/HvBRMspp
If I wasn’t scared of breaking our Switch I would absolutely try modding things here and there, or even if I didn’t I always enjoy seeing what other people can do! I’ve been having my own little strike of inspiration thanks to froggycrossing’s 30 days series. It’s reminded me to just have fun again, which is great because school is… very exhausting… so it’s nice to have ACNH to unwind with. Sometimes I log on to build and don’t get much done but still run around the areas I have decorated because it makes me happy to be there :3 Also, welcome back to TH-cam! Glad to have you here~
Coming from the sims community where literally EVERYONE even the game devs use mods its truly lovely to see the animal crossing community modding again and flourishing after the star fragment flop era and also missed that era from new leaf too its time to have fun again guys!!!
i think mods are extremely important to many different kinds of games, especially ones that dont plan on expanding their horizons (hehehe puns) if nintendo isnt gonna update their game, then why not? making the game more immersive and fun to play with small details for aesthetics or making the game a whole different play style!! adding new elements to the game that werent added or possible before makes anch so much more fun and cool to play as you can be more creative. the selling factor of nh was that you can further customize your own island however you want, but theres a lot of things that arent possible in vanilla acnh which can leave people dissatisfied with the games playstyle. do what you want and if you dont want to mod, then dont, but let people do what they want with a game and console they spent around $300 for.
I am so open to modding and did it with new leaf. I think my only personal concern is that I’m also not tech savvy especially when it comes to coding and it was a lot of work with new leaf, and I don’t want to accidentally brick my switch. I also get extremely overwhelmed with new items, the update last year had me in a panic to get everything and if this was available to me, I would never sleep and want to get it all
ugh yes!! i remember when 2.0 came out, i didn’t sleep well for days 😩 this has definitely had a similar effect! but i’m sure it’ll settle down soon? idk haha it seems like people are having a blast with creating their own mods too!
switch modding is different from 3ds as i found out the only way to really launch between the emulated and legit switch (which is the safest way to have a modded switch) is to literally short circuit your switch to access the homebrew every time 😬 otherwise yeah i prob spent a week reading guides and figuring things out to avoid getting banned, but my modded game to my legit game are on separate consoles
I don’t understand why so many ppl are against modding for acnh. This is not a competitive game once so ever and a modded island isn’t affecting anyone else’s. It’s different from modding on games like Mario kart or smash when modding could literally be considered cheating. But I see doing this on Acnh as harmless sense most ppl are just doing it for aesthetic purposes. I feel like it would actually be smart of Nintendo to allow this for Acnh because it would rekindle lots of peoples passion and excitement for this game!!! Personally, after watching a modded island tour video, I’m super excited to start playing again!
It’s going to be great to see people start to post their islands that are made up of modded items. It’ll be like seeing something you’ve never seen before all over again
i used to mod my new leaf town and it just brought so much more life to the game :’) id loveee to do the same in nh but i no longer have a pc or anything to access the mods, so currently just vicariously living through your streams
just so you know, modding is possible with a macbook! you just need an extra resource to run it via windows i do wish i’d been around for the acnl modding scene days, though! thanks for watching demi ❣️
omg if AC would just let us mod freely the fun I would have on my island would be endless! I wish they would atleast give us new items to work with from time to time that would def be nice
Wow, the modded items are just wow! Lemon trees? Strawberries? Sunflowers? A dream for the animal crossing community 😍 I have a switch lite and probably won’t be able to mod but if I could, I definitely would. Oh, it would be great. Thank you for sharing this video and loooove your island 💕
Some are compatible with being modded. there is a list of serialnumbers of wich is compatible. The oled on other hand is not compatible. i also i have i Lite but i think mine broke after being dropped :(
I can't believe nintendo is so against modding, since it keeps their games relevant. I'm starting to think they are planning on just letting this game die so we will somehow be more likely to buy newer games. Idk why they don't just release more dlc's.
All those mods are so gorgeous :) I’ve debated about modding my switch but the idea of playing acnh near a computer and typing and calibrating to decorate is too much of a hassle for my lazy butt lol, I refuse to play anywhere else than in my bed :’) I do think modding makes sense for content creators though! it’s very exciting to watch from afar and I’ll cross my fingers that it’ll give ideas to Nintendo for the next games
yeah it can definitely not be the most fun! especially if your computer set-up isn’t the comfiest.. like mine it’s a sacrifice i’m willing to make for the streams though! they’r SO fun!
All of these mods are so beautiful! I’d really love to see the animal crossing community embrace these instead of shun them and anyone who uses them. Animal crossing is not a competitive game so I have no idea why people are so against modding to begin with. I’d love to see a day where we can upload beautifully modded islands without the fear of people mass reporting :/ however that may take Nintendo themselves to embrace mods as well, something I’m not sure if I ever see them doing.
I've been considering modding my second switch for a while now mainly for two reasons... for the older games' ost and for faster villager animation (faster terraforming). But these items you showed are everything... 😱❣
im too scared to mod any of my nintendo consoles after i accidentally softbricked my 2ds, but man i would kill to make a modded acnh island. I love some of the features people have made with mods
Those items are so beautiful why couldn’t they be in vanilla 😭 it sucks that Nintendo is so uptight about mods, how do they not understand that more people would play the game if it had more freedom like this. I especially wish there was a way to more easily decorate like the system they have in the dlc. Terraforming each little square and trying to place items one by one is such a pain in the ass and not relaxing or fun for me at all. It’s just tedious and prevents me from experimenting.
I have always wanted to mod my switch. I just hate the risks involved. But after seeing these items.. I feel like I *HAVE TO* otherwise I will not sleep at night. 😅 Thank you for linking resources for us so that we can begin our modding journies! Wish us luck! 😅
I never understood the controversy around modding… like, it’s not illegal. Just let people play the game however they want. If someone mods Minecraft, the sims, so on suddenly it’s “yay mods! So cool!” ,etc. but the MOMENT it’s animal crossing suddenly it’s a crime. I’ve never experienced modded animal crossing, and I don’t think I’ll be able to any time soon, but I’ll happily watch others enjoy it! I love Acnh so much, and I’m so glad it’s still thriving. I can’t wait to keep working on the island that will be the first island I’ve ever finished!
i think modding the game would be insanely fun and id like to learn! ive made a few designs for different villagers and it would be so fun to see them in action, i feel like modding would and could be a great future for new horizons
I’ve never really thought about modding my switch because I was always scared that somehow Nintendo would find it and delete it (and I know that has a very small chance of happening unless it’s a DA) but also because I’ve never really seen many content creators with modded switches, so I wasn’t aware of all the possibilities! I don’t think I can really mod my switch though, as my computer is very old and probably wouldn’t be able to handle it! If I do get a new simulated sometime soon, I’ll definitely look into modding though! You’ve truly opened my eyes for SO MANY things! If you weren’t here on TH-cam I probably would have stopped playing the game for a LONG LONG time until I found more inspiration! Thank you for sharing everything with us and keeping us updated and aware, because if it weren’t for you I really would have never known much about modding and what great benefits it has, and I would have lacked GREAT inspiration that you create!
aww i’m so happy to share! a lot of the mods i shared this week came from members of my community that are already so talented and creative! i’m really glad we’re all feeling inspired by modding right now
in the modding is it possible to add new tabs of the house storage? also to be able to craft without needing to take resources from the house storage? and to be able to craft several times without stopping? that would be nice it improves the functionality of the game
Modding is actually such a big thema for PC-games. Much indie-dev's even encourage modding because it's just free content for youre game. Before the switch, i modded my nintendo 3ds. But with my switch i'm a bit scared that i could break stuff. Because for me, the nintendo switch was a lot of money, which i couldn't afford to replace immediatly if something would go wrong xx. And as i just found out, i have a patched switch. Nintendo really don't want anything to do with mods ^^''.
I would love to mod my switch but I have an OLED and a lite which I read I can’t mod these switches and I don’t want to buy a 3rd 😖 I’m just so inspired by the modding community at the moment though! I love seeing everything 😍
My modded switch has kept me in the game MUCH longer than I would have otherwise. I am by no means a tech expert, but there are some great tutorials and discord servers out there. I would absolutely do it if you've played the game for a while and are bored. It's so fun.
Thank you so much for this video! I am modding my switch this weekend, special thanks to this video for sending me over to the dark side! I was on the fence before.
This is just so awesome. I will not mod mine, simply out of fear and I wanna have my dream address public. But mods are simply amazing. Generally. They make games a lot cooler.
I hope that with all the awesome mod created lately it will help the modding in acnh been accepted because even if I don't have a modded switch just seeing the amazing creativity I really don't see why some people are so against it 😪 I'll definitely try do mod my switch when I'm old enough to buy one myself so I don't own anything to my mom if anything happens 🤣
I hope there'll be more of modding in the animal crossing community so i can get someone to help me do it :D (or even learn how to do it by myself !! )
i want a modded switch but its just too confusing, expensive and risky. mods are amazing but im fine with just making things work with what i have. maybe one day ill get one but idk since heard its hard to get them now after one of the switch updates and dont know if its going to be any easier in the future to get them. (also for those who want strawberries pansies actually work quite well, its not the fully grown ones though its the 3rd stage so you would need to put them on the beach)
my only hesitancies for modding acnh are not being able to share dream addresses and the daunting risks of modding a game console. i don't know much at all about stardew and how that modding community operates but i've been in the sims community and using sims mods for many, many years. the main differences for me between the sims modding vs acnh modding is that 1. putting mods into a folder and being able to take them out whenever you want feels so lightweight and thoughtless, other than for ts4 when a new update comes out and it breaks some mods until the creators fix them, it's not an issue at all vs what seems to be a permanent change to your switch (correct me if i'm wrong, i haven't looked very far into any details about what it takes to mod your switch) 2. nintendo being vehemently against modding and actively punishing people who mod their game vs ea who celebrated and welcomes modding and custom content. though these are only a couple of reasons, they're enough to scare me into not being comfortable in modding acnh so i will sadly continue to let my copy of acnh rest until i (hopefully, someday) feel inspired again to continue decorating my island within the constraints nintendo has given us :/
I'm a huge fan of modding, it certainly is one of my favorite aspects of video games. Whether it be the Sims, Minecraft or Stardewvalley, looking for mods has always been one of my favorite things. Unfortunately I'm very broke and super scared of bricking my switch since I really can't just get a new one. I had to scrape everything I had together to get my current one so I can't afford losing it. I wish Nintendo was more open to the idea. I mean what harm is a cute little tree mod gonna do? Now that the game is in it's ts final build and almost all of the devs have moved on, I don't see a point in banning modding. It would keep the game thriving for way longer!
I got into ACNH in 2021, and only recently have i been so immersed that I have joined online ACNH spaces (watching videos, Nookazon, Reddit pages, etc.) I had no idea that you could mod it until maybe 1 month ago, and of course that knowledge was immediately followed with the discourse of "cheating" with modded game systems and time traveling. I'll be the one to say it, as someone who missed the initial online conversations about modding and time travel, I don't get the issue. I think creators talking more about modding is great, because I'll be honest, the only thing holding me back is a lack of information on the subject. If I saw more people safely modding and including the information they have, I would 100% do it.
there’s already plenty of info out there about it but the stigma is so real! everyone is starting to mod now though which will make that a thing of the past
i was gifted a harv’s clothesline back in that era of acnh mods, then literally the following day nintendo found out and removed them from the game, i never even took them out of my inventory 😭
t’was a sad day indeed 🥹 i’m sorry for your loss.. for me, i had the items but was too scared to even put them on my island. so i never did! and then they were gone 💔 RIP
I am not interested in hacking my own switch at all but I am excited to see new decorating content for ACNH thanks to these mods. I've never even played Sims 4 and fell off playing years ago w/ sims 2 but still watch Sims 4 decorating video to this day. I feel that way about this new modding. I don't have the interest in putting the time into modding an island myself but would gladly watch others do it.
I really really wanna mod my island so bad since I‘ve been part of the acnl modding community back in 2015-2018 but I sadly have a patched switch…and buying a unpatched one is so expensive… I wish we could be able to mod even with a patched console…for the soundtrack replacement alone, the old soundtracks are so much better
Samee!! I wanna have the strawberries the lemons the grapesss but how am I going to explain to my parents why I need to buy a third Nintendo switch off of etsy because I need lemons on island 😕
@@ketchupcrossing4679 the most ridiculous thing isn‘t even the prince for the console itself (around $300) but the shipping and import taxes which are another $150 for me from the seller she linked below
i’ve suggested this a couple of times but try looking to in-person electronic stores that sell switches secondhand! then, check the serial code number to see if they’re able to be modded i provided a link in the description box that helps you see all of that!
Personally, I don't think mods are worth the risks. At least not with Nintendo and I would enjoy people doing more island tours without mods so we can still see truly beautiful islands that don't use hacks. I didn't realize so many of the island tours I've seen were of modded games and it made me feel like garbage that my islands weren't as cool. I didn't realize it's because they were breaking the rules and I wasn't. P.S. I dont have a problem with Mods in animal crossing I think the creative freedom it offers is totally awesome, I just wish that people were more upfront in their videos that they are modded and would love to see island tours without them.
if you say it outright in the vid description, title and sometimes in the vids. nintendo will make yt take down your vid. and can also ban your yt account. There is creators who use a diffrent word for saying that their switch is modded and is magic or spicy
@SeaSaltedBiscuit I have watched hundreds of island tours wishing I had the ability to decorate my island as beautiful as some of the people in the videos never understand why I could never get mine to look that way only to discover that most people have modded their switches. Code words would be welcome, but I personally have only come across 2 or 3 that have openly stated in some fashion that their systems are not factory. It's frustrating to not have some sort of transparency. That was the point of my comment.
@@moldyvoldy1231 i get that but their cant be any transparesy when nintendo are such asshats here on TH-cam. But as a vanilla player myself i would recommend looking for inspo on instagram there people are very upfront If its modded or not with a anchmod hashtag. Becouse on instagram and twitter nintendo cant be asshats and ruin peoples life
@@moldyvoldy1231 and also to be fair here on TH-cam some people arent that upfront on If they use mods or not in any game 🤣 look at the sims 4 community nearly 99% use custom content but they dont state that sometimes
i’ve been considering modding my game for a while, but this really made me want to do it even more haha however the process seems hard and i’m scared of consequences 😭 maybe one day
I feel the same as you lol. The only reason why I’d mod my switch is honestly just for new leafs hourly music, but I only have one switch and not a lot of money so I’d be horribly screwed if I happened to mess something up!
as someone who's played ac since ww, i will never understand where the sudden animosity towards modding came from. i always bring up nl when ppl rag on modding, but even ww and cf towns had some serious mods. literally what abt nh made ppl suddenly go "if u mod u are actually the child of satan"
Happy for those that are able to mod and refresh the game but my problem is for those who can’t. I would love to be able to do half the stuff shown in this video but I don’t have a switch that can be jailbroken and I am not interested in trying to find one just so I can try to keep up with everyone else. If modding starts to become widespread over what’s left of the acnh community I think this will truly ruin the game for me. Also, I don’t think this is comparable to the other modding communities of different games because, again, you need a jailbroken switch. Idk I’m about the possibilities but also feel like I’m being left out
I'm considering modding my switch but i want to make sure everything is fully safe before anything; I might wait to do any modding until I see how everything plays out and even then, I might subtly mod mine.
understandable!! i was definitely doubtful at first too! but seeing how treasure islands are thriving and how some of my friends have been modding for a while, i bit the bullet and ran with it!
I'm a fan of modding in general- mainly thanks to Stardew Valley (I myself have made mods) so I'm very excited to see the ACNH community getting into it! I'd mod my own switch *if* my switch wasn't patched 😂 so I shall just enjoy seen content
Modding should be allowed. It does not hurt anybody. Nor their progress. Many people uses in game exchange system and communicate via apps to agree on exchange. Also having new stuff to work with is so important, since they wont do any more updates, people should be able to work with mods.
I’m really tempted to mod my switch aaaahh,,,,items in the water look so amazing!! Do you know if you can still visit/trade with people online if you mod? Or can Nintendo tell you’ve modded your island if you hook it up to the internet in any way? I’m a lil scared of getting banned 😭😭
What I am most curious, is the terraforming much easier if modes? Because I just hate taking so much time to do something and than I decided I didn’t like it and than now I have to take forever taking it down lol
@@dianaulait i did that AND downloaded a ton of model textures! tysm for sharing the links to the original creators, i’m having too much fun with the strawberry crates & the star crates 🤣🤍
I'd like to see a mod put eggs, milk, cheese, and chocolate as ingredients in the game. and making tiramisu a recipe I can make in the game would be great too...
Oh I absolutely would! Mods do not hurt anyone, and for games that allow it? Especially if it makes the game better for me and doesn't give me a one-up over anyone else? I do mod.
I hope I can get brave enough to try this! This is awesome. I have 13 GB of custom content in Sims 4 and love it. Why should Nintendo care if people do this. They told us they are finished with the game and don't care a f about it.

Diana where did you get that outfit from? ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
For me modding is a big no just because I’m scared of bricking my console. Maybe I’ll give it a try when the new console will come out
I'd love to see the ACNH modding community grow. I can imagine modding could greatly influence the features of next animal crossing game.
100% agree!! nintendo, take notes 👀

I have always wanted to mod my switch. I just hate the risks involved. But after seeing these items.. I feel like I *HAVE TO* otherwise I will not sleep at night. 😅 Thank you for linking resources for us so that we can begin our modding journies! Wish us luck! 😅
I'm here waiting to a mod that bring new leaf dialogues to new horizons
Nintendo should start taking notes and adding some of these mods into the actual game
I never understood the controversy around modding… like, it’s not illegal. Just let people play the game however they want.
If someone mods Minecraft, the sims, so on suddenly it’s “yay mods! So cool!” ,etc. but the MOMENT it’s animal crossing suddenly it’s a crime.
I’ve never experienced modded animal crossing, and I don’t think I’ll be able to any time soon, but I’ll happily watch others enjoy it!
I love Acnh so much, and I’m so glad it’s still thriving. I can’t wait to keep working on the island that will be the first island I’ve ever finished!
i think modding the game would be insanely fun and id like to learn! ive made a few designs for different villagers and it would be so fun to see them in action, i feel like modding would and could be a great future for new horizons
I've had a modded switch for over a year and somehow am just now starting my first modded island. It's so much fun!
I’ve never really thought about modding my switch because I was always scared that somehow Nintendo would find it and delete it (and I know that has a very small chance of happening unless it’s a DA) but also because I’ve never really seen many content creators with modded switches, so I wasn’t aware of all the possibilities! I don’t think I can really mod my switch though, as my computer is very old and probably wouldn’t be able to handle it! If I do get a new simulated sometime soon, I’ll definitely look into modding though! You’ve truly opened my eyes for SO MANY things! If you weren’t here on TH-cam I probably would have stopped playing the game for a LONG LONG time until I found more inspiration! Thank you for sharing everything with us and keeping us updated and aware, because if it weren’t for you I really would have never known much about modding and what great benefits it has, and I would have lacked GREAT inspiration that you create!
aww i’m so happy to share! a lot of the mods i shared this week came from members of my community that are already so talented and creative! i’m really glad we’re all feeling inspired by modding right now
in the modding is it possible to add new tabs of the house storage? also to be able to craft without needing to take resources from the house storage? and to be able to craft several times without stopping? that would be nice it improves the functionality of the game
okay seeing the acnl music in the game was enough to convince me to try it.
The way you can change the colors of the buildings! Amazing!
Modding is actually such a big thema for PC-games. Much indie-dev's even encourage modding because it's just free content for youre game. Before the switch, i modded my nintendo 3ds.
But with my switch i'm a bit scared that i could break stuff. Because for me, the nintendo switch was a lot of money, which i couldn't afford to replace immediatly if something would go wrong xx.
And as i just found out, i have a patched switch. Nintendo really don't want anything to do with mods ^^''.
I would love to mod my switch but I have an OLED and a lite which I read I can’t mod these switches and I don’t want to buy a 3rd 😖 I’m just so inspired by the modding community at the moment though! I love seeing everything 😍
The Lite can be modded if it has a specific serial nummber :)
I would honestly pay money for a mod that made the villagers have more personally like they did in wild world
Those tall trees and the cat tails in the water tho! 😍
My modded switch has kept me in the game MUCH longer than I would have otherwise. I am by no means a tech expert, but there are some great tutorials and discord servers out there. I would absolutely do it if you've played the game for a while and are bored. It's so fun.
I would honestly love to see so many of the furniture sets ported from pocket camp to ACNH!
I really wanted to mod my switch, but the thing is it's definitely patched so now I gotta struggle with landscaping with the laws of the land :,)
I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY WITH THE IDEA OF STRAWBERRY TREES AND STUFF
The “look at my cliffs” really got me ahahahhahaha thanks for this video Diana 💖💖
Thank you so much for this video! I am modding my switch this weekend, special thanks to this video for sending me over to the dark side! I was on the fence before.
This is just so awesome. I will not mod mine, simply out of fear and I wanna have my dream address public. But mods are simply amazing. Generally. They make games a lot cooler.
I hope that with all the awesome mod created lately it will help the modding in acnh been accepted because even if I don't have a modded switch just seeing the amazing creativity I really don't see why some people are so against it 😪
I'll definitely try do mod my switch when I'm old enough to buy one myself so I don't own anything to my mom if anything happens 🤣
There are so many ppl just now getting into the game as well! So it’ll be amazing for them to have new stuff:)
I hope there'll be more of modding in the animal crossing community so i can get someone to help me do it :D (or even learn how to do it by myself !! )
I assumed the game was over when the credits rolled after KK's concert. The rest seems like collectors/completionists tasks.
i want a modded switch but its just too confusing, expensive and risky. mods are amazing but im fine with just making things work with what i have. maybe one day ill get one but idk since heard its hard to get them now after one of the switch updates and dont know if its going to be any easier in the future to get them. (also for those who want strawberries pansies actually work quite well, its not the fully grown ones though its the 3rd stage so you would need to put them on the beach)
the pansies do work really well and they’re super cute! 🥰
Why did this video make me emotional- but I’m scared to mod my original switch lmao I might actually mod my dads switch at some point-
I’m in the process of researching and saving up for an unpatched switch so I can mod my island :)
my only hesitancies for modding acnh are not being able to share dream addresses and the daunting risks of modding a game console. i don't know much at all about stardew and how that modding community operates but i've been in the sims community and using sims mods for many, many years. the main differences for me between the sims modding vs acnh modding is that 1. putting mods into a folder and being able to take them out whenever you want feels so lightweight and thoughtless, other than for ts4 when a new update comes out and it breaks some mods until the creators fix them, it's not an issue at all vs what seems to be a permanent change to your switch (correct me if i'm wrong, i haven't looked very far into any details about what it takes to mod your switch) 2. nintendo being vehemently against modding and actively punishing people who mod their game vs ea who celebrated and welcomes modding and custom content. though these are only a couple of reasons, they're enough to scare me into not being comfortable in modding acnh so i will sadly continue to let my copy of acnh rest until i (hopefully, someday) feel inspired again to continue decorating my island within the constraints nintendo has given us :/
I REALLY would. I just can't find a spicy switch to purchase. This all looks so cool
I really want to mod my switch but mine is patched😭 my older brother has a 1st gen switch from 2017 and he said we can mod it so I hope we can
I'm a huge fan of modding, it certainly is one of my favorite aspects of video games. Whether it be the Sims, Minecraft or Stardewvalley, looking for mods has always been one of my favorite things. Unfortunately I'm very broke and super scared of bricking my switch since I really can't just get a new one. I had to scrape everything I had together to get my current one so I can't afford losing it. I wish Nintendo was more open to the idea. I mean what harm is a cute little tree mod gonna do? Now that the game is in it's ts final build and almost all of the devs have moved on, I don't see a point in banning modding. It would keep the game thriving for way longer!
I'm so behind this trend!! I absolutely love modding Stardew and hope to one day mod my switch. Keep fighting the good fight!!
if i could 100% confirm my switch wasnt gonna be killed, id love to mod acnh. but im too scared lol
I got into ACNH in 2021, and only recently have i been so immersed that I have joined online ACNH spaces (watching videos, Nookazon, Reddit pages, etc.) I had no idea that you could mod it until maybe 1 month ago, and of course that knowledge was immediately followed with the discourse of "cheating" with modded game systems and time traveling. I'll be the one to say it, as someone who missed the initial online conversations about modding and time travel, I don't get the issue. I think creators talking more about modding is great, because I'll be honest, the only thing holding me back is a lack of information on the subject. If I saw more people safely modding and including the information they have, I would 100% do it.
there’s already plenty of info out there about it but the stigma is so real! everyone is starting to mod now though which will make that a thing of the past
Nintendo please don’t take this video down
the links to the discord are expired, could you post new ones?
I hope it isn’t because not all people have the possibility to mod and/or have contact with someone with a modded switch that can help them
Hi Diana!! :)
Milkweed is looking as cute as always 🌾🤍
ahh thank you!! 🥹🤍
i was gifted a harv’s clothesline back in that era of acnh mods, then literally the following day nintendo found out and removed them from the game, i never even took them out of my inventory 😭
t’was a sad day indeed 🥹 i’m sorry for your loss.. for me, i had the items but was too scared to even put them on my island. so i never did! and then they were gone 💔 RIP
I’m just too scared of bricking my console if that wasn’t the case I would do it
That will definitely make me play a lot more, I think I'm going to do it. I'm scared lol but it seems like people aren't having problems. I love it
I am not interested in hacking my own switch at all but I am excited to see new decorating content for ACNH thanks to these mods.
I've never even played Sims 4 and fell off playing years ago w/ sims 2 but still watch Sims 4 decorating video to this day. I feel that way about this new modding. I don't have the interest in putting the time into modding an island myself but would gladly watch others do it.
I really really wanna mod my island so bad since I‘ve been part of the acnl modding community back in 2015-2018 but I sadly have a patched switch…and buying a unpatched one is so expensive… I wish we could be able to mod even with a patched console…for the soundtrack replacement alone, the old soundtracks are so much better
Samee!! I wanna have the strawberries the lemons the grapesss but how am I going to explain to my parents why I need to buy a third Nintendo switch off of etsy because I need lemons on island 😕
@@ketchupcrossing4679 the most ridiculous thing isn‘t even the prince for the console itself (around $300) but the shipping and import taxes which are another $150 for me from the seller she linked below
i’ve suggested this a couple of times but try looking to in-person electronic stores that sell switches secondhand! then, check the serial code number to see if they’re able to be modded i provided a link in the description box that helps you see all of that!
@@dianaulait thank you!!
Personally, I don't think mods are worth the risks. At least not with Nintendo and I would enjoy people doing more island tours without mods so we can still see truly beautiful islands that don't use hacks. I didn't realize so many of the island tours I've seen were of modded games and it made me feel like garbage that my islands weren't as cool. I didn't realize it's because they were breaking the rules and I wasn't.
P.S. I dont have a problem with Mods in animal crossing I think the creative freedom it offers is totally awesome, I just wish that people were more upfront in their videos that they are modded and would love to see island tours without them.
if you say it outright in the vid description, title and sometimes in the vids. nintendo will make yt take down your vid. and can also ban your yt account. There is creators who use a diffrent word for saying that their switch is modded and is magic or spicy
@SeaSaltedBiscuit I have watched hundreds of island tours wishing I had the ability to decorate my island as beautiful as some of the people in the videos never understand why I could never get mine to look that way only to discover that most people have modded their switches. Code words would be welcome, but I personally have only come across 2 or 3 that have openly stated in some fashion that their systems are not factory. It's frustrating to not have some sort of transparency. That was the point of my comment.
@@moldyvoldy1231 i get that but their cant be any transparesy when nintendo are such asshats here on TH-cam. But as a vanilla player myself i would recommend looking for inspo on instagram there people are very upfront If its modded or not with a anchmod hashtag. Becouse on instagram and twitter nintendo cant be asshats and ruin peoples life
@@moldyvoldy1231 and also to be fair here on TH-cam some people arent that upfront on If they use mods or not in any game 🤣 look at the sims 4 community nearly 99% use custom content but they dont state that sometimes
i’ve been considering modding my game for a while, but this really made me want to do it even more haha
however the process seems hard and i’m scared of consequences 😭 maybe one day
aww give yourself the time you need! as long as you’re still enjoying acnh as it is, that’s all that matters
I feel the same as you lol. The only reason why I’d mod my switch is honestly just for new leafs hourly music, but I only have one switch and not a lot of money so I’d be horribly screwed if I happened to mess something up!
I would absolutely LOVE to have some of these items and be able to create my island 🏝️ in a whole new light!
I have a question, are some of the already existing items/fruits replaced with modded stuff?
Leon trees 😩
as someone who's played ac since ww, i will never understand where the sudden animosity towards modding came from. i always bring up nl when ppl rag on modding, but even ww and cf towns had some serious mods. literally what abt nh made ppl suddenly go "if u mod u are actually the child of satan"
All the modding items are so beautiful 😍👏😭
Thank you for this video 🤍
I really hope Nintendo is listening! 👀👀📝
i think my only problem with modding is the hassle of it, i just wish it was somehow all just available in game already lmao! but ...lemon trees!!!
Happy for those that are able to mod and refresh the game but my problem is for those who can’t. I would love to be able to do half the stuff shown in this video but I don’t have a switch that can be jailbroken and I am not interested in trying to find one just so I can try to keep up with everyone else. If modding starts to become widespread over what’s left of the acnh community I think this will truly ruin the game for me. Also, I don’t think this is comparable to the other modding communities of different games because, again, you need a jailbroken switch. Idk I’m about the possibilities but also feel like I’m being left out
I would love to mod one of my 2 switches!! Love these features but right now, it’s all greek to me haha
I'm so excited to see all the new modded islands I can't wait until I can save up to get a modded switch
aw libby!! i really hope you can get your hands on one!
I'm considering modding my switch but i want to make sure everything is fully safe before anything; I might wait to do any modding until I see how everything plays out and even then, I might subtly mod mine.
understandable!! i was definitely doubtful at first too! but seeing how treasure islands are thriving and how some of my friends have been modding for a while, i bit the bullet and ran with it!
Makes me sad they aren’t updating it anymore ;(
I'm a fan of modding in general- mainly thanks to Stardew Valley (I myself have made mods) so I'm very excited to see the ACNH community getting into it! I'd mod my own switch *if* my switch wasn't patched 😂 so I shall just enjoy seen content
I've modded my wii u and 3ds but im too scared to do the same for the switch but I would absolutely love having modded items in my game
omg you did?! wow i didn’t even know the wii u could be modded too!
Anyone got the link to the discord with all the mods? They’re expired.
Modding should be allowed. It does not hurt anybody. Nor their progress. Many people uses in game exchange system and communicate via apps to agree on exchange. Also having new stuff to work with is so important, since they wont do any more updates, people should be able to work with mods.
wait, so u can visit other island of people with modded switch too?
I’m really tempted to mod my switch aaaahh,,,,items in the water look so amazing!! Do you know if you can still visit/trade with people online if you mod? Or can Nintendo tell you’ve modded your island if you hook it up to the internet in any way? I’m a lil scared of getting banned 😭😭
Can you give modded items to a non-modded player?
What I am most curious, is the terraforming much easier if modes? Because I just hate taking so much time to do something and than I decided I didn’t like it and than now I have to take forever taking it down lol
im here bc i just been completely burnt out on acnh the last few months the limits are just really holding me back.
I'll probably mod (?) my switch once a new console comes out. That's the safest way to not get banned I think. 😅
i never knew that i could have inclines directly beside each other, even with my modded switch… time to play animal crossing today 🤣
yes!! i did it with poker
@@dianaulait i did that AND downloaded a ton of model textures! tysm for sharing the links to the original creators, i’m having too much fun with the strawberry crates & the star crates 🤣🤍
I'd like to see a mod put eggs, milk, cheese, and chocolate as ingredients in the game. and making tiramisu a recipe I can make in the game would be great too...
Oh I absolutely would! Mods do not hurt anyone, and for games that allow it? Especially if it makes the game better for me and doesn't give me a one-up over anyone else? I do mod.
I have a modded switch but I don't get it how to install the mods into the switch I tried but I can't find that stuff in my inventory.. :(
I hope I can get brave enough to try this! This is awesome. I have 13 GB of custom content in Sims 4 and love it. Why should Nintendo care if people do this. They told us they are finished with the game and don't care a f about it.
😍 return of the New Leaf soundtrack!!! Has to be the best mod
the strawberries! the grapes!! i love this so much 🤎🤍
thanks hana!! 🥹🤍
i’m so sad my switch is patched… can you transfer your island from a patched switch to an unpatched switch?
i was alreadyy looking into modding acnh but this might make me actually do it :D
I would mod in a heartbeat if I could!
