If you restart instead of flattening, you can have a new DA and it doesn't affect this one. It's only when you flatten that it writes over it. Looking forward to you here again. You were missed!
Deleting instead of flattening makes it more fun and gives you more to do :D even though it’s sad to see your old stuff go the best part is you can get it back again
Good for you!!! I just deleted my 800ish hour island to restart and it was honestly a grief process to say goodbye. But? When I restarted? Guess who showed up as my first villager. The man. The myth. The legend himself. LYMAN. And then I knew, I everything would be okay. So glad you’re back online and doing videos. I really enjoy your content! Keep up the great work. 🎉
So if I sleep and save my island as a dream address, if I start a new game and write over everything (as he is doing in the video), as long as I have that old dream address I can always visit my old island? And in the new save if I save that as a dream address it will be a different code? As long as I have the dream address my old island will live forever!?!?
When you were about to delete it, I kind of got nervous for you and a flood of memories of you ACNH & chill / designing the final Dyemund / multiple villager hunts came to my head! But definitely excited for the new island ahead, and glad to know you’re doing well! Cant wait to see that vlog
Glad to hear from ya again Ryan! 😊 Since you completely deleted Dyemund's island, you can save a DA for a new island, on the same Switch, w/o affecting this DA. I've deleted & saved 4 different islands & DAs! 👌😊
The way my jaw absolutely dropped at the title 😂 not sure why but it’s also an exciting chapter also! Hope you’re doing well💜 always loved the community!
The cockaroaches are bummed that you’re back (rip roaches), but we’re excited to see you again! Animal Crossing hasn’t been the same without you, glad you took time to relax and recharge!
This has made me so happy! I've spent the past few days rewatching the entire 'animal crossing and chill' series and i was thinking about how much i would love to see more of those kind of videos ! I'm so excited to see what you get up to, and I really hope this re-sparks your love for the game
Ahhh what a great bday gift to me! I've missed listening/watching your content ryan! Glad that you've been able to get some much deserved time offline traveling!! Excited to see the future videos as I've honestly fallen off with the game myself and have been wanting to get back into it. So bittersweet seeing the island get deleted but also completely understand starting completely fresh! Looking forward to the blog update as well :)
It’s been wonderful to see you guys out and traveling! Definitely have missed you, and all my ACNH friends, especially the live streams, but think that making self-care a priority is a major step in the right direction for all of us. Got choked up when you deleted the data…Love Dyemund, and am so happy that it will still exist somewhere, but I also can’t wait to see the new posts, the new island, and villager hunting! The new ideas for the squirrel’s habitat sound awesome…will there be live streams on Twitch or here? Yes or no, looking forward to seeing your new content soon, yay!
I’m so excited you’re going to be playing more animal crossing again! You were the first animal crossing creator die watched and followed back when the game first came out. You had mentioned that you’re not going to be making a dream address for your new island because you don’t want it to overwrite diamond. If you make a Dream address for the new island it will be a completely separate DA and won’t affect diamonds dream address at all. I’ve had a handful of different islands since my very first one and anytime I visit it’s always so nostalgic. Looking forward to what’s to come!
Was so worried when I saw the title for this. Now I am thrilled to expect more ACNH videos from you. I learned so much when I started playing the game from YOU. And, now I typically play at 5 am just to enjoy that music you introduced me to. Thanks so much for helping me get so much out of this game. Looking forward to more videos!!
I just got into ACNH a couple months ago and came across your channel. I've been binge watching your videos for a few weeks now even though I know they are from a couple years ago. I am very excited for you to be able to start playing again with a fresh start and I am excited for any new content you are going to post! It must have been such a strange feeling though to delete your Island data, kind of sad but now you get to enjoy the game again!
I miss animal crossing so much. If you are starting a new island than I am following your lead and get back into this wonderful game with a new island too. Thank you for this video.
I've deleted my island 4 times now. I love the early game grind and starting over fresh with a different layout. I take it as a challenge to do better designs each time and it is overall a creative outlet with a very chill vibe. Also, very fun to do villager hunts!
Spends 1000+ hours creating something and less than a second to delete :') This was an emotional video but just the boost of serotonin I needed before a busy day at work. Thank you for sharing!!
I feel so happy that you're keeping this as like, a shrine to early Animal Crossing - the cottage-core theme, the Path, Lyman... but oh my gosh I feel I could never delete something so beautiful lol. I'd buy a new Switch! On the other hand - I've found myself missing ACNH recently and while I doubt I'm going to delete my island, I feel you playing again will inspire me to go back and do some more interesting decoration and almost play along! It's gonna be weird seeing your island without that green koala though. x (alittlebriton)
Been a long time since I've played animal crossing since I got rid of my switch a while ago, I plan on getting another and playing sometime again with a more relaxed mindset. I had over 300 hours on the game and never had a proper island because I kept restarting and worrying too much about what other people were doing and trying to replicate it. Sometimes it's hard to let go lol but eventually I just did and I'll get back to it soon. I can't imagine spending as long as you did on an island though and then getting rid of it, but change can be refreshing so I hope it works out nicely.
I am so hyped. I missed acnh and chill. Re watched Them many times. And love every single one of Them. Remember when you started doing Them. It was a great time
Good memories with this island! I remember watching your streams and I'm looking forward to see more. I'm also tempted to delete my island but somehow I can't seem to find the strength to do it 😓. I'm excited to see what's next! 😍
good to see you again!! hoping your new island will cure some of my own burnout. i flattened my island a few months ago and then haven't picked it up since
Ryan, you’re so talented and so excited to see where you go from here! Plus, since you deleted and restarted now this dream stays forever even if you make a new one 🎉
Man... I've been subbed to you since 2020, and similarly to you, Animal crossing sort of phased out of my daily life going into the summer of 2021 and thus I kinda stopped watching these videos. Just today I come back to this channel and though I am sad to see Diamond go due to the memories I've made with it, I look forward to the New Horizons that the new island will bring. Keep up the work and stay strong in 2023!
Hi Ryan! I'm happy to hear you are back again! ✨I am restarting my second island today, I got bored of it, too. I am looking forward to the new island! Take care! 🌻
If you delete and start over, it gives you an original DA for every new file so you have technically have as many DAs as you want! Diamond will always be around with its own custom code :)
I’m looking forward to see you start and enjoy the truly simple game known as animal crossing new horizons. I’ve got 10 dream addresses at this point. Restarting is the best way to begin again. It’s easy to grab what you want now a days. Treasure islands make it a reasonable activity to restart. I love making themes. Will you make a theme too?
I’m so so so almost finished with all the nook mile achievements and then once that’s done I’m 100% restarting, I’ve flattened 3 times now and I want that fresh new island feeling again!
I am so scared of restarting my 1st island; I don't thing I'll ever do it... Or maybe since the dream address stay on I'll let it stay. I did restart my second one though. I missed your 5AM calm content, and I can't wait to see you on your new ACNH journey!
I’ve deleted a few islands and it is difficult each time but exciting too. I’ve been getting the itch to delete again. The only reason why I haven’t yet is because I’ve been enjoying dreamlight valley. Though it isn’t like my villagers on ac.
So excited for your new play through! Going to go through your dream address to remember the good old early days! (Even though it feels weird calling quarantine the good days…but animal crossing really got us all through huh?)
You know each da is unique and if you save the da for your new island it will not over ride your old one. Different codes. I have done it myself a few times.
I had an island that I had flattened and redone twice and I found myself unhappy with the progress on the island. I also felt like the 2.0 update made the game better if I hadn’t spent the previous months using treasure islands to gather and catalog items. So I made the island the best I wanted for what it was and then I restarted. And I made it to the 3 stars on that island but once I started terraforming, I realized I hated that island. So now I’m on my third island and I’m just having fun with it. Letting myself just take it slow, not rushing myself or the goal.
animal crossing was never meant to be a designer game it was meant to be a life simulation game. there's a documentary somewhere on TH-cam where it explains the original creators reasoning behind making Animal Crossing. Animal crossing just seemed to evolve into what it is today, but it never was really meant to be a designer game.
I'm happy for you Ryan :) there's something so cathartic about deleting your island (I've restarted 3 times, shall I make it a fourth??? haha) I'm glad you're living your life
i still think not allowing people to buy multiple copies of the game is the biggest fault on nintendo’s part. no one should have to delete their island or buy a whole new console :(
You planning to take Filbert for the new island? I love him so much but I can’t find his amiibo card anywhere and I don’t want to spend hundreds of hundreds of NMT in a hunt for him
if you have created this dream address and already uploaded it correct me if I'm wrong someone but deleting your save file won't actually delete the dream address because it's on an online server somewhere. I know there are Animal crossing people out there that create multiple islands and upload the dream address and then start all over again. I'm not too sure how that all works myself.
I have really been thinking about restarting my island but i feel so sentimental about my first island... I just really wish I could play a second copy of the game, the one island per switch game is so stupid, I would go out and buy another copy of the game if I could. I like my villagers and have done so many nook miles challenges, I also have over 550,000 miles saved up which would be annoying to lose. But conversely, I don't like my town hall placement and the thought of flattening my island again is frustrating... Maybe if you do acnh streams again I might be able to get back into the mood to play and redesign my island!
If you restart instead of flattening, you can have a new DA and it doesn't affect this one. It's only when you flatten that it writes over it. Looking forward to you here again. You were missed!
5am Music...Ryan running around his island - Nostalgia at it's finest!
Agreed! It made me feel so cozy to see/hear that again.🎶
Yes this is so great! I have his old videos playing while I play my acnh game lol.
Deleting instead of flattening makes it more fun and gives you more to do :D even though it’s sad to see your old stuff go the best part is you can get it back again
Good for you!!! I just deleted my 800ish hour island to restart and it was honestly a grief process to say goodbye. But? When I restarted? Guess who showed up as my first villager. The man. The myth. The legend himself.
LYMAN.
And then I knew, I everything would be okay.
So glad you’re back online and doing videos. I really enjoy your content! Keep up the great work. 🎉
You can have multiple DA’s! Once you restart, any new DA you save will not save under the same player/ island as your previous one :)
That’s what I thought too! It’ll be a different DA for a different island, it isn’t linked to the switch!
So if I sleep and save my island as a dream address, if I start a new game and write over everything (as he is doing in the video), as long as I have that old dream address I can always visit my old island? And in the new save if I save that as a dream address it will be a different code?
As long as I have the dream address my old island will live forever!?!?
@@lordcorporal4247 I believe so! I’m pretty sure I’ve seen creators do it!
@@kashcor thank you!!! I played so much animal crossing on release and missing it and want to get back into it.
@@lordcorporal4247 yes if you completely restart the island, the new da does not overwrite the old one. Speaking from experience (restarted 4 times)
When you were about to delete it, I kind of got nervous for you and a flood of memories of you ACNH & chill / designing the final Dyemund / multiple villager hunts came to my head! But definitely excited for the new island ahead, and glad to know you’re doing well! Cant wait to see that vlog

So happy that Animal Crossing is back. You should definitely bring back the 5am chill videos on the new island.
The way my jaw absolutely dropped at the title 😂 not sure why but it’s also an exciting chapter also! Hope you’re doing well💜 always loved the community!
The cockaroaches are bummed that you’re back (rip roaches), but we’re excited to see you again! Animal Crossing hasn’t been the same without you, glad you took time to relax and recharge!
So excited to have you back! I’m looking forward to the villager hunts for our squirrel friends and what this next adventure looks like! 💙
Can't wait to see the progress on the new island but this was kinda sad!! Dyemund and the chillin series got me through 2020 lockdown
This has made me so happy! I've spent the past few days rewatching the entire 'animal crossing and chill' series and i was thinking about how much i would love to see more of those kind of videos ! I'm so excited to see what you get up to, and I really hope this re-sparks your love for the game

So looking forward to this new venture. Great to hear your voice again, Ryan!
Man, I’m happy you’re back. ACNH might not have a lot that’s new, but the life you bring to it is always enjoyable to watch.

When you restart a new island, if you set a new DA it will not override the DA for the previous island.
Spends 1000+ hours creating something and less than a second to delete :') This was an emotional video but just the boost of serotonin I needed before a busy day at work. Thank you for sharing!!
I have Lyman on my island because of you! 😂 ur videos for Lyman were funny and touching so I had to have him on my island
Missed your acnh content! Still playing daily over here
I feel so happy that you're keeping this as like, a shrine to early Animal Crossing - the cottage-core theme, the Path, Lyman... but oh my gosh I feel I could never delete something so beautiful lol. I'd buy a new Switch!

It's gonna be weird seeing your island without that green koala though.

I'm looking forward to your renewed interest, and seeing what you create.
Restarting feels so good, happy to see you back and into the game, thank you for saving Dyemund for us in the dream address world. 💜
We like to see anything you want to share!😊
Welcome back! I can’t wait to see the adventures of the new island! 😊
Been a long time since I've played animal crossing since I got rid of my switch a while ago, I plan on getting another and playing sometime again with a more relaxed mindset.

I was wondering how you were earlier today! So happy to see a video from you 💜 hope you feel better soon
Happy to see you back! But also glad you were able to relax and do what you need!
So excited to see what the new island brings! I do miss the villager hunts. Also can't wait for the blog to see what you've been up to!
I am so hyped. I missed acnh and chill. Re watched Them many times. And love every single one of Them. Remember when you started doing Them. It was a great time
I missed your voice and ACNH videos...nice to see you back this morning!
This makes me wanna play again
Good memories with this island! I remember watching your streams and I'm looking forward to see more. I'm also tempted to delete my island but somehow I can't seem to find the strength to do it 😓. I'm excited to see what's next! 😍
I’m early for once 😂 i miss when animal crossing was so popular 😢😢
it’s still pretty popular but i do agree with you
I am soooo excited for your next journey on ACNH!!! Missed ur content
good to see you again!! hoping your new island will cure some of my own burnout. i flattened my island a few months ago and then haven't picked it up since
Great to see you back! Look forward to watching more 😉
Can’t wait to see your next video! It’s good to see you reminisce on ACNH. Looks forward to what you come up with!
I’m enjoying this video so much. Thank you for making this video 🎉
Ryan, you’re so talented and so excited to see where you go from here! Plus, since you deleted and restarted now this dream stays forever even if you make a new one 🎉

You'll get a new DA for a new island. It will only overwrite the current one if you flatten. I'm excited to see the new project unfold.
Hi Ryan! I'm happy to hear you are back again! ✨I am restarting my second island today, I got bored of it, too.
I am looking forward to the new island! Take care! 🌻
If you delete and start over, it gives you an original DA for every new file so you have technically have as many DAs as you want! Diamond will always be around with its own custom code :)
I had no idea about that! I thought if you delete the island it deleted the dream too 😮
I’m looking forward to see you start and enjoy the truly simple game known as animal crossing new horizons. I’ve got 10 dream addresses at this point. Restarting is the best way to begin again. It’s easy to grab what you want now a days. Treasure islands make it a reasonable activity to restart. I love making themes. Will you make a theme too?
please consider getting poppy for the all squirrel island !!! she is so cute
I hope he does, she's adorable! And her house is so pretty inside! 😍🍁🍂

It's so great seeing your content again!
You can definitely have a DA for your new island! Dyemund won't be affected even when you update
Are you going to re-start and make a new Island?
bring on the filbert searching saga pt 2!!! so happy to hear yall had fun travelling 💕 excited for this new island build 🙌🏼
also look at me commenting 😭
I had an island that I had flattened and redone twice and I found myself unhappy with the progress on the island.

I will restart island! I abandoned my island 1 year ago. Thanks Ryan, this inspired me to play again 😭

I dont know how i missed this lmao ugh. Glad to hear yer voice and cant wait for the vlog!
I have finally started playing again, I’ve been having extreme burnout and I stopped playing for awhile. I’m really excited to play fall again.
I'm happy for you Ryan :) there's something so cathartic about deleting your island (I've restarted 3 times, shall I make it a fourth??? haha) I'm glad you're living your life
I was literally watching one of his vids then he uploaded, I was low key confused 😂
Excited about what’s next
i still think not allowing people to buy multiple copies of the game is the biggest fault on nintendo’s part. no one should have to delete their island or buy a whole new console :(
Yayy it’s soo good see you on TH-cam and doing let’s play chill videos
You planning to take Filbert for the new island? I love him so much but I can’t find his amiibo card anywhere and I don’t want to spend hundreds of hundreds of NMT in a hunt for him
Let's have fun on another island!!
if you have created this dream address and already uploaded it correct me if I'm wrong someone but deleting your save file won't actually delete the dream address because it's on an online server somewhere. I know there are Animal crossing people out there that create multiple islands and upload the dream address and then start all over again. I'm not too sure how that all works myself.
I remember when I watched you in my animal crossing phase lmao 😭
If a villager is at your house and you are in another room just stay there. They will leave.
I hope you can play this game again
RYAN!! I’ve missed you!!
I have really been thinking about restarting my island but i feel so sentimental about my first island... I just really wish I could play a second copy of the game, the one island per switch game is so stupid, I would go out and buy another copy of the game if I could.

wait, if you start a new island it deletes your old one’s dream address?
Yehhh Ryan your back ✌️ i miss your video's
this feels like a break up
i think this is a sign for me to do it too….
I feel so tempted to delete my save data now 😂
If you delete your save your new save will have a different DA!
But today is Lyman’s birthday😢
I live in Denver
WHY
I cried
oh my gosh!!!!!!!
You might want to check out Hokko Life -😘
Deleting instead give us save data...
But too late......
WHAT??? Really.
Hi Ryan!
Hey Ryan!
Wow...why was i emotional for you? It's a GAME! And you definitely have a handle on how to have fun with it!
