I share my Island with my 4 year old daughter (thanks Nintendo for not allowing different users to have different islands on the same Switch). She keeps envying my stuff. Complained for weeks that she had a tent while I was living in a house. So I helped her upgrade to a house. I had set her up on the beach away from my island space. When I helped her upgrade to a house she then started complaining that she does not like living on the beach. So on Sunday I decided to help her relocate. Cost 40,000 bells but luckily I had scorpions stored outside waiting for the guy that buys insects and such at a premium. Took a few using her character, sold them and paid Tom Nook for the relocation. Takes a day. So she would get off my case immediately I timed traveled to the next day, got her the house and restored time settings back to normal. Changed back to my profile, went back into my house and I was faced with a horror. My 1.6m bells of turnips had gotten rotten as a result of my time travelling activities. By moving block forward to Monday and then restoring back to Sunday Nintendo treated it as though I had gone through the whole week without selling the turnips. Well I was totally distraught. But that was not the end of the disaster. Having lost N1.6m of turnips due to time travelling I decided time travelling would have to restore my money and then I would never do it again. So decided I would immediately sell all my scorpions. Sold for 800k bells and used them all to buy turnips. Plan was to quickly time travel through the week checking prices for each day, sell the turnips, make money and then repeat the process until I made back all the money I had lost. Well the whole time travelling week the prices were way down. Got to Saturday and it was half the price I bought the turnips. Had to sell at that price meaning I lost 400k. Add to the 1.6m I lost on rotten turnips and I have lost 2m bells. So if you plan to do time travelling make sure you never travel back to a Sunday with turnips in your possession. Actually I presume you can't travel back at all with turnips in your possession. |
I believe you are safe to travel forward but travel back any time day (not sure if hour but I assume any time back) will spoil the turnips. Sorry to hear about your loss but I'm sure you'll get the money back eventually. You just wasted a few hours of gameplay. I heard some stories or rumors that people with digital copy that sometimes there is a save date error or something that ruins the file and people had to start over. I'm not sure if that is due to them turning off game when it is trying to auto save or what. I always make sure I save and exit then I wait for title screen to minimize and close the game.
I can maybe help a little and donate 200k to you or least your kid so she can upgrade her house more. My entire town is filled with mainly almost all exotic fruit trees (hardly any regular or native trees left) and I've been letting them sit on tree because trying to figure out where the last remaining regular trees (had half town trees on different shake schedule so now trying to get all on same growth cycle). So basically I can probably get 200-300k within hour of selling my fruit which I will pass on to you.
