I’ve missed Animal Crossing but can’t seem to make the time commitment to pick it up again so I think this series is going to be a lot of fun! I will live vicariously through your videos 😂
I started hard mode for awhile but eventually fell off so props to you for sticking through it! Enjoy Mori's, myself and others attempt at this challenge in the mean time :D
Omg Casey! I almost named my forever island Larkspur as well (I was also born in July)! 😦 This was awesome to watch, the narrating, the editing - I really loved it! Excited for this for sure! 🥰
You commented this as I was watching one of your videos, how awesome is that haha. So cool you almost did Larkspur as well, July bday buddies! Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it :D
This video is giving me SUCH ACNH 2020 vibes when it first came out and everyone was so excited.. the vibes are immaculate. Dare I say, it even feels like a chuggaconroy video from his ACNL series 💕
I love this! I just restarted my island but because I didn’t have the know how I do now when I first started it. BUT I should have just demolished everything on my island instead, because I forgot how long it takes to accumulate items/bells. 😅 This challenge is tempting though.
Ahhh see I’m the opposite! Flattening an island seems freaky to me have such an empty canvas. But to each their own! I get wanting to keep bells and items though 😂 appreciate the comment and hope your new island rules!
Thanks Kanin! Very happy with the direction I'm going in this island. Loved your new vid too (I forgot to comment cause I was watching on my TV! congrats on all your chanceys :D )
Oh awesome! I just found you but I just finished my back to basics island It was such a fun time! Looking forward to watching your island come together.
Wow great job!! I am slow drip feeding my episodes out only when I have time to but plan on getting back to it when I’m home from vacation! Thanks for the comment 🩵
Thanks awesome Kaleb! I don't know enough flowers to nickname all my pokemon after them. My partner works with flowers so she tells me about them a lot haha
i had an amazing island that was totally unfinished and imperfect, but i loved it so much and i restarted. now i dont really care about my current island, i miss my old one
@@crossingcasey i sure hope so!! anyways, your video was super calming! played acnh as i was watching this, and even though i really miss my old island, you’ve made me more excited to start this one up
Back to basics+: Still all of the same rules except, the diy furniture only Instead: •Where ever your starting villagers want to place their home is where theyll be placed, you cant change them til 5stars •Only allowed to craft tools (you can still buy tools too, i just dont know how to word this better) •Only able to craft the required beginning of the game diy furniture •All other furniture must be bought or shaken from trees. •Only able to use Nook miles for the first house debt, pocket upgrades, character customization, and one nook miles ticket to get brewster (or however many you need… i don’t remember. If there happens to be your sister fruit and flowers you are allowed one of each color flower and three fruit) •No travelling to other players islands •Custom designs *are* allowed and pathing (i know that isnt like basic, basic but they really are a good qol upgrade) •Gold Roses are only allowed once you get the gold watering can (if you get a thunderstorm one, you can stockpile it and only pick it when you have the can or just throw it away, up to you) Optional: •you can do happy home from the start, however only one villager per day *or* you can start happy home at 2 stars (buying furniture with poki counts as usable furniture) •you can timeskip after 3 stars •you can terraform after 4 stars •you can villager hunt after 5 stars •you can go to other players islands at 5 stars
I like your addition to timeskip/ terraforming! Maybe I'll allow myself to terraform after 5 stars or something. I'm liking the laid back version of not terraforming right now though. I would really like a way to get other island fruit though, maybe one day I'll go to an island and get it!
I just restarted tonight and I was going to like transfer the good shit I had but then I was like na bro I need to just take it slower and not worry about what I use to have. Idk I wanted the same feeling I use to have where I was making shit and challenged...
Awe! It's okay, I found a community through Pokemon challenge videos so the new AC content won't be super engaging just yet! I'll keep at it and hope more of the AC community will come by and watch :D
When I looked at what you'd want to bring I thought the options were 1.a sleeping bag⛺ 2.a lamp🕯 3.Some food🌯 4.SOMETHING TO KILL ME👻 Even thought number 4 says something to kill time😳
I should clarify, the rules say you can only use DIY outside to decorate, not inside! That being said, I’ve already picked up items that were non diy (like the chair at buds house, etc) and put them in storage 🫡
I bought the game last month, I had been wanting to play it since Illymation mentioned it in one of her videos, but by the time it launched I was poor as hell, didn't have a cent to my name and since then until this year I didn't have enough money to justify buying a nintendo switch and ACNH. Anyway, it's really interesting to me hearing others talking about burnout with this game while I'm here like, this game is the chillest thing ever in my life lmao. But I found this video to be very entertaining and it makes me realize how much faster I could have made some things (it took me like a week to pay off my first loan lmao) but it has been really fun figuring out all of the things and only googling a couple of things when I get stuck. I decided to not time travel and only play an hour tops daily and keep it simple, although, lately I'm thinking on playing a little more "serious" and really start planning my island because it's been a month and my island is pretty empty with no roads and one basic bridge, so I'm sure I'll enjoy more of your videos plus, I really liked your personality.
thanks for sharing this story and I'm glad youre having a good time playing! I decided when I first played to not time travel either and it makes me excited to play every day. Glad you're enjoying the stuff, can't wait to make more videos!
you post the video 3 weks about but i just watch it now and i comment now. It was a cute video and you seem kind and i liked it for you. i think the homeade cape will look great i will watch the next videos of this island soon. Haha good job wwith the vid ad the island casey. keep it up:3
Im just now realizing how little views this video has. I dont know why its such good quality 😭 loved it. I dont have a switch so i cant play animal crossing and this is the only way i can somehow calm my annoyance of not having the console :(
Very sweet of you! I’m fairly new with this channel and just hit the 5k sub milestone after only having 300 in January! I’ll keep working on this quality of videos (or ever better quality) while I work on this island!
What was that island in the footage you used for the intro of the video?? I love the style, I've been looking for inspiration around the internet but everything feels over cluttered to me. Pleaaase tell me you have a tour video of that!
It’s my main island! One I had since launch of the game that I’ll never delete haha. I plan on working on it on stream potentially next weekend so if I ever finish it, I’ll upload a code!!
@@crossingcasey it looks great! I'll definitely be there for the stream. Did you use any references or does that styles have a name? I can't seam to find anything like it online
The island you see me walking around on in the beginning of this video was used with light time travel aside from villager hunting. I never duplicated items to get a bunch of bells either cause I felt it was pointless to pay off my house in full so quickly. But also have never cared what people do. If they buy it, they can do what they want with it to have the most fun haha
Wrong the website is wrong making you wrong for repeating something that is already being proven wrong. Zelda breath of the wild for Nintendo switch is second best-selling game super Mario Odyssey is number one super Mario Brothers ultimate is number three Mario kart 8 deluxe is number four and the 5th best selling Nintendo switch game is animal crossing New horizon so you better check your facts again, I am a big fan of animal crossing New horizon I'm also a big fan of Zelda breath of the wild Zelda tears of the kingdom is a prequel I hate prequels fuck it but animal crossing New horizons is number 5 when it comes to best game on Nintendo switch and best seller
I have found 3 different articles from may of 2023 saying new horizons is number 2 when it comes to number of units sold. Not sure where you’re getting your info! Regardless, all the games you listed are great haha
@@crossingcasey I just looked it up right now five best selling Nintendo switch games super Mario Odyssey, super Mario kart 8 deluxe, super Mario Brothers ultimate and number for best seller is animal crossing New horizon. No I'm not going to make anyone look like a Yahoo because I'm a big animal crossing horizons fan myself I even prefer playing it over Zelda breath of the wild and I'm a giant Zelda fan I know things about Zelda that's not even being published in news articles or Nintendo magazines or anything. Zelda breath of the wild he's number five edge best seller for Nintendo switch the only reason I keep check on this stuff is because it really grinds my gears when I see on TH-cam people tell me other people false information about a game or games that I really enjoy like fierce deity Zelda breath of the wild. People have said you came from Majora's mask and no it doesn't fierce deity was never a mask in Zelda Majora's mask. Fierce deity words added for the remake of Zelda Majora's mask. I know this for a fact because my brother has the original Gold edition and he has all the masks in in that game fierce deity and dark Link are not in the original Majora's mask and Zelda Twilight princess is not a regional Zelda game
This is such a fun idea. It's always nice going back to the beginning so you can appreciate all the progress you've made so far.
I’m really excited to get this started! It’ll be cool to look back to see the progress made!
I’ve missed Animal Crossing but can’t seem to make the time commitment to pick it up again so I think this series is going to be a lot of fun! I will live vicariously through your videos 😂
I hope it helps entertain you during your time away from it :D
I just finished day 92 of Hard Mode. Not sure I'm up for another restrictive challenge just yet, but I'll enjoy watching you and Mori Mushi! :)
I started hard mode for awhile but eventually fell off so props to you for sticking through it! Enjoy Mori's, myself and others attempt at this challenge in the mean time :D
Recently been playing daily for almost 2 weeks now and I'm enjoying myself a ton. Here's to you branching out! Editing is crisp as always my dude :)
Thank you! Glad you’ve got the animal crossing bug too 🩵 hope you like the series!
It would’ve hurt deleting that save data lol! Looking forward to seeing how this island will turn out!
Yeah 😅 I just made sure to delete it without checking how much work I had done on it so I didn’t have to hard feelings! Thanks for watching :D
Make sure to check my animal crossing playlist to see the series continue! Link in description. Thanks for watching :D
I don’t get it
They seriously just need to let us have multiple islands so people can play again without loosing something they put alot of time into ....
I agree :( wish we could have multiple ones
Omg Casey! I almost named my forever island Larkspur as well (I was also born in July)! 😦
This was awesome to watch, the narrating, the editing - I really loved it! Excited for this for sure! 🥰
You commented this as I was watching one of your videos, how awesome is that haha. So cool you almost did Larkspur as well, July bday buddies! Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it :D
Omg hi sparksby!!
0:18 sherb being mad is so cuteeeeeeeee
He was the perfect candidate for “angry but adorable”
This video is giving me SUCH ACNH 2020 vibes when it first came out and everyone was so excited.. the vibes are immaculate. Dare I say, it even feels like a chuggaconroy video from his ACNL series 💕
Awe I’m glad you’re liking it! Hope you enjoy the series as I upload more. Part 5 should be coming out this weekend!
This is so fun to watch! Also, your taste in flowers is great. I love Larkspurs!
Thank you! My partner is a florist and so I have learned a lot about flowers from her haha
Ekkkk!! Thank you Casey for giving my challenge a go!! I hope it makes the game feel fresh and fun again ^_^
It has so far! I’ve missed being excited waking up to play AC every day haha
@@crossingcasey honestly SAMEE!! :D
This challenge seems really cool. Looking forward to more!
Thanks for watching 🩵
I love this! I just restarted my island but because I didn’t have the know how I do now when I first started it. BUT I should have just demolished everything on my island instead, because I forgot how long it takes to accumulate items/bells. 😅

Thank you!
1. LOVE this new challenge idea for Animal Crossing
2. That island, fruit, and villager set up is 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Kanin! Very happy with the direction I'm going in this island. Loved your new vid too (I forgot to comment cause I was watching on my TV! congrats on all your chanceys :D )
@CrossingCasey yeah dude, I love the early diversification on the channel!
Also, thanks brother! Glad you enjoyed it, it was a project 😅
This was soo worth the wait! ☺️🎶 This was really fun to watch! I feel like playing along now! 😊
Lemme know if you like your starters!! Haha
@@crossingcasey Phoebe and Teddy! 🥳
Oh awesome! I just found you but I just finished my back to basics island
It was such a fun time! Looking forward to watching your island come together.
Wow great job!! I am slow drip feeding my episodes out only when I have time to but plan on getting back to it when I’m home from vacation! Thanks for the comment 🩵
Wonderfull! can't wait to see the next one! also love the name of the island, I name my pokemon after flowers all the time!
Thanks awesome Kaleb! I don't know enough flowers to nickname all my pokemon after them. My partner works with flowers so she tells me about them a lot haha
i had an amazing island that was totally unfinished and imperfect, but i loved it so much and i restarted. now i dont really care about my current island, i miss my old one
I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe you can build up your current to be even better than the old one!
@@crossingcasey i sure hope so!! anyways, your video was super calming! played acnh as i was watching this, and even though i really miss my old island, you’ve made me more excited to start this one up
I wish I wish with all my heart, that next gen we get more saves, so we don’t restart.
please please please
personally i love animal crossing! i really hope this series continues!
(pls get lyman if you can)
We’ll see about Lyman! Everything will be random haha. I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
Back to basics+:
Still all of the same rules except, the diy furniture only
Instead:
•Where ever your starting villagers want to place their home is where theyll be placed, you cant change them til 5stars
•Only allowed to craft tools (you can still buy tools too, i just dont know how to word this better)
•Only able to craft the required beginning of the game diy furniture
•All other furniture must be bought or shaken from trees.
•Only able to use Nook miles for the first house debt, pocket upgrades, character customization, and one nook miles ticket to get brewster (or however many you need… i don’t remember. If there happens to be your sister fruit and flowers you are allowed one of each color flower and three fruit)
•No travelling to other players islands
•Custom designs *are* allowed and pathing (i know that isnt like basic, basic but they really are a good qol upgrade)
•Gold Roses are only allowed once you get the gold watering can (if you get a thunderstorm one, you can stockpile it and only pick it when you have the can or just throw it away, up to you)
Optional:
•you can do happy home from the start, however only one villager per day *or* you can start happy home at 2 stars (buying furniture with poki counts as usable furniture)
•you can timeskip after 3 stars
•you can terraform after 4 stars
•you can villager hunt after 5 stars
•you can go to other players islands at 5 stars
I like your addition to timeskip/ terraforming! Maybe I'll allow myself to terraform after 5 stars or something. I'm liking the laid back version of not terraforming right now though. I would really like a way to get other island fruit though, maybe one day I'll go to an island and get it!
you have no idea how much serotonin "we're having soft tacos later" gave me
Gotta love cat bug 😁
14:36 catbug reference lol
Love the soft taco line haha
I just restarted tonight and I was going to like transfer the good shit I had but then I was like na bro I need to just take it slower and not worry about what I use to have. Idk I wanted the same feeling I use to have where I was making shit and challenged...
That’s valid! It’s nice to start with a clean slate. Hope the island is going well 😁
I have been so stressed on decorating and terraforming my island that I want to do this now
You should! It’s very nice and not as overwhelming of a project!
So much fun!
Glad you enjoyed 🩵
500 views is criminal. The effort and content you put into your videos is great man, keep it up 😊
Awe! It's okay, I found a community through Pokemon challenge videos so the new AC content won't be super engaging just yet! I'll keep at it and hope more of the AC community will come by and watch :D
When I looked at what you'd want to bring I thought the options were
1.a sleeping bag⛺
2.a lamp🕯
3.Some food🌯
4.SOMETHING TO KILL ME👻
Even thought number 4 says something to kill time😳
That’s scary haha glad it’s not that dangerous!
I haven't played Animal crossing, and only played a small amount. So I do not know what is going on, so I'll sit here and enjoy.
If you have any questions I’m happy to help answer them!
i love the island but the top right corner of the map had me 😭😭other than that i loved the video🫶🏻
thank you!!
“can only use DIY items for decorating” proceeds to use a non-DIY item from a tree and one from Timmy and Tommy
I should clarify, the rules say you can only use DIY outside to decorate, not inside! That being said, I’ve already picked up items that were non diy (like the chair at buds house, etc) and put them in storage 🫡
Just found your channel love your content
glad to have you here! More ac stuff coming soon!
such a goooood idea can't wait for the next episode
coming soon! (editing it as I reply to this comment :D)
remember when villagers said they were about to fucking die if you tried to delete your island
good times
Yeah they really hated us in the old games if we did anything scary for them
I bought the game last month, I had been wanting to play it since Illymation mentioned it in one of her videos, but by the time it launched I was poor as hell, didn't have a cent to my name and since then until this year I didn't have enough money to justify buying a nintendo switch and ACNH.

Let me know if you start the challenge too!
@@crossingcasey i might but already have a fairly new island and havent done town hall or anthing but might when i next restart
Last time I hated my island because everything people can do I could not do it . I will not reset my island because my hard work will be gone
Don’t do it then! Play the game exactly how you want 😁
ive done my time with ACNH and im quite happy to watch someone else do it now 😅
I hope you like the series 😁

Very sweet of you! I’m fairly new with this channel and just hit the 5k sub milestone after only having 300 in January! I’ll keep working on this quality of videos (or ever better quality) while I work on this island!
@@crossingcasey omg that's actually an incredible grow in such little time. Hope it gets even better! Thank you for the content
No way you got the exact same starters as I do on my current island.
That’s incredible! What a coincidence!
That makes your July baby
larkspurs kinda look like foxgloves, which are also toxic (i held one before and my mom was panicking)
who knew flowers could be so scary haha

I might give this a try ! 😄 when im done with my shiny badge quest 😅
Sounds like a plan! Hope you get good starters hehe
blessed start
Very lucky!!
Awesome video
Thanks!
@@crossingcasey your very welcome can’t wait for episode two
I've got the same island as u as I did this challenge, only difference is the rocks.
so many people said they got the same one thats awesome!
i spent like 3 hours trying to get the perfect island layout i have no regrets
I've seen people do it for days. I felt lucky to be happy with the one I got first try haha
You are so underrated +New subscriber
Thank you 🩵 more stuff coming soon when I’m back from vacation!
I just restarted a few days ago!
I'm sad that Nintendo just dropped it
Well you have a lot of game to catch up with!! Hope you’re having fun!
Its funny how so many people have to challenge themselves not to cheat in the game. Lol i did it twice trying for completion and regretted it.
The island you see me walking around on in the beginning of this video was used with light time travel aside from villager hunting. I never duplicated items to get a bunch of bells either cause I felt it was pointless to pay off my house in full so quickly. But also have never cared what people do.

we have the same island layout
twins
Keep it up Casey you are my favorite!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy my stuff 🩵
Bro just asked for his island to be the way it was
I'm simply built diff
Is it possible to get 5 stars only using diy furniture? I thought you had to use nook miles and regular furniture also
We’ll find out!!
Great video this makes me wanna restart my 2020 island and do this challenge too
No peer pressure but DO IT
This is very Pogchampion
so true bestie

Maybe they were caught off guard by its success and weren't prepared to support it for so long! Either way, I hope the next game is this and more!
