Time Travel

Last updated: 3 April 2022

What is time travel?

Animal Crossing games are based on real time – for example, things that the game says will take one day truly take one real-life day to complete. “Time traveling” refers to the act of manually changing the time of the game to either be in the future or go back to the past.

Time traveling is not considered hacking. Time traveling also does not reverse/rewind progress. You keep all the progress, items, etc. that you’ve completed/acquired even if you time travel backwards.

How do I time travel?

To time travel, you must either close your game or go to the ‘Save Complete’ screen after doing a ‘Save and End’. You now need to change your date in your Switch settings:

• Open System Settings > System > Date and Time .
• Disable Synchronize Clock via internet if it is ON.
• Go to Date and Time and adjust to whatever time you would like.
• Return to the game and the new date & time will take effect!

What are the general effects of time traveling ( backward or forward )?

• Able Sisters’ mannequin will only change if you go outside of the week.
• Some items from Nook’s Cranny can only be purchased once a week. i.e. if you bought it once, it wouldn’t be restocked when time traveling to that day again in the same week.
• Saharah’s inventory does not change if you stay within the same week when time traveling forward or back. You have to go into another week for it to change.

What are the specific effects of time traveling forwards?

It is important to remember that time traveling forwards is no different than closing your game and then logging in at the new, manually input time. With that said, here are the effects of going forwards.

What are the specific effects of time traveling backwards?

If you time travel backward more than a day, it will be like going back to “fake” yesterday.

What happens to my other games when I time travel for AC:NH?

Time traveling for AC:NH will not affect other time-based games unless you launch them whilst the system time is changed.

Do I have to wait to time travel after someone invites my villager to live on their island?

No, and likewise, you don’t have to wait to time travel after inviting someone else’s villager to live on your island either.

Can I time travel to play events that have passed?

Yes, as of the 2.0.0 update, all events for all years of the game’s lifespan have been unlocked, including all seasonal Nook Stop items.

Player birthdays can only be experienced once every in-game year , and TTing back to the same birthday date won’t restore it. You must go to a future or past year.

I time traveled to Festive season, but why are none of the cedar trees decorated?

Make sure you have time traveled forward into the season (rather than backwards) and you have at least 1 cedar tree. For more information on how cedar trees are decorated, refer to the infographic here .

How do I time travel to farm an NPC visitor?

If the NPC is on a weekday except Monday:

• Toggle the date between the day the NPC is there and a day they are not. If you are farming an NPC that sends you gifts via mail, be sure to go forward to receive their rewards.

If the NPC is on a Monday:

• Time travel forward a day to Tuesday, then go back to Monday (after 5 AM)

Will my villagers move out if I time travel too much?

Nope! Though this was something that could happen in past installments of the game, villagers in New Horizons will not move out unless you give them explicit permission to do so.

Will my villagers dislike me/lose friendship points if I time travel too much?

Nope! They may have some dialogue about your disappearance if you do a big jump forward, but time traveling has no effect on friendship.

Do the developers know I time travel? Will they do anything to me about it?

There is actually a variable turned up by data mining called isTimeSly that determines whether or not the player has time traveled! With that said, there’s no indication whatsoever that the developers care, as there are no permanent in-game consequences or punishments for time traveling. Ultimately, it is your game, and you should play it however you want to!

What are BCAT or NTP unlocks?

BCAT and NTP unlocks are flags that gets flipped when the actual date of the intended release of an event or period has arrived in real time. Collectively, both of these are referred to as “time-locks”. There is no way to manually unlock these flags other than hacking the Switch. The difference between these two unlocks are:

*Note: These will likely not be used going forward as of the 2.0.0 update.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons time traveling on Switch changes a game that plays in real time, meaning that a day in the game is as long as a day in real life. You can time travel to want to speed up your progress.

Rather than waiting until the next real-world day, time traveling lets you and see your new home renovations or new building quickly.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons time travel

To time travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons :

• Close Animal Crossing : New Horizons by pressing the Switch’s Home button, highlighting the game’s icon, pressing the X button, and clicking “Close” in the dialogue box that appears.
• Go to your Nintendo Switch System Settings (the gear icon on the home screen), scroll all the way down, and select “System.”
• Select “Date and Time,” and turn off the setting that says “Synchronize Clock via Internet.”
• Change the date or the time to whatever you want.
• Reopen Animal Crossing: New Horizons , and the date and time in New Horizons will match whatever you set it to in the Switch’s system preferences.

Be careful about skipping too many days at once, as skipping forward weeks at a time will yield the same results as not playing for weeks at a time: Your villagers may move out, and weeds will move in.

Keep in mind that you will have to connect to the internet to verify the date before you participate in holiday-based events. For example, the Bunny Day event, which starts on April 1, will require you to connect to the internet to verify your time, according to a post on the Japanese Nintendo website . This means that if you do choose to time travel, you’ll have to set your Switch to the normal date to play any of the upcoming events.

You forgot to mention to not time travel backwards for with turnips. You also can’t go past the following Saturday, or they will rot. That makes your fourth point incorrect. You mentioned that they’ll rot if you go backwards, but you also can’t go past the following Saturday.

I hope this will settle the whole "Time travel debate" and like you said people should be able to play however they feel works for them.

There is no mention of the cockroaches. If you time travel for a whole month, your playable characters’ houses will have cockroaches crawling around. I like them, but most people don’t.

VanitasFan26 said: There is a tip for getting rid of the roaches faster. If you have someone else visit your island then its possible to make 2 Roaches spawn inside your home so you can kill them at once. Your friend can also help you destroy the roaches as well. This one I recommend if you have multiple homes and you time traveled too much to point where all the homes are fill with Roaches. Click to expand...

*insert pikmin noises*.

How long do the cockroaches spawn in your home after TTing large leaps? I've never TTed this much at once (1Y 4M) in one go. (I got tired of being in February of last year due to starting a new job and all that.) I've killed at least 4-6 cockroaches on this load in; 4 on my first initial load in after TTing.

Island rep of pookydise 😺.

I've jumped forward up to a year at a time. The most roaches I've ever seen spawning is two per room. I just keep going back and forth between each room til I get 'em all.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons: How To Time Travel - What Happens When You Time Travel?

Don't do the time crimes if you can't do the... time

• by Austin Voigt Mon 8th Nov 2021

Although Reggie says he would "Never!!" time travel in Animal Crossing, jumping forwards or backwards within the game's "real time" clock system is definitely a possibility - and fairly easy to accomplish, if we're being honest. However, there are many consequences to consider - both from technical and ethical standpoints.

Curious about how your friends have managed to unlock everything in the game and gather millions of Bells' worth of items faster than humanly possible? Allow us to be your time traveling tour guides through Animal Crossing: New Horizons (tipping not required, but always appreciated).

Guide to time traveling in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Is it possible to time travel.

When Animal Crossing: New Horizons was initially announced, fans were told specifically by producer Higashi Nogami that time manipulation was something they wanted to avoid:

"New Horizons will not be compatible with cloud backups to avoid manipulating time, which remains one of the founding concepts of the series."

However, after release, players realized it was still a possibility to time travel in the game - and many took advantage of this feature, as in previous entries (and cloud backups came along for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, too).

In order to manipulate time and move either backwards or forwards in the game's clock, players must:

• Access the System Settings on your Switch
• Select "System" from the bottom of the settings list
• Scroll down within the "System" settings on the right side until you see "Date and Time"
• Within these settings, deselect "Synchronise Clock via Internet"
• Set the date and time to your preferred destination
• Load up the game and let the time traveling begin!

What happens if you time travel?

While we neither condemn nor condone time manipulation in Animal Crossing, we do caution that there are many varied in-game consequences to these types of actions .

Should you time travel?

Although we don't necessarily condone time crimes - which are considered to be "cheating" by many Animal Crossing purists who wish to play the game as it was designed by its creators - we do recognize that this is a series in which players are also encouraged to play however they wish.

Some are vehemently opposed to the idea, while others have more ethical reasons for manipulating time - such as odd personal schedules and real-life demands that prevent "normal" enjoyment of the game.

However you choose to play, it should be for your own pleasure. Whether you choose to get as much out of the game in as short amount of time as possible, or prolong your enjoyment and play with real-time limitations, it's ultimately up to you. We hope this guide helps you make your decision wisely!

Guides on how to cheat? I dunno about that one.

Honestly people are free to play games however they want but it can be a bit annoying when people cheat in games with multiplayer. Been trying to avoid interacting with time travelers where possible.

Personally I have no issue with the time traveling if that's what you're into. This game is intended to entertain and if that's what works for you go wild. I don't believe it effects online play negatively enough to be a relevant issue since you can choose who you visit and by what means.

Its interesting to me. I have seen a lot of AC fans who are clearly against time travelling and dont want to interact with those who do. Even a person I follow on Youtube binned gifted items from followers who time travel.

Im new to the series and I have chosen not to time travel. I think its a great mechanic: 'delayed gratification' waking up to see the incremental changes you actioned, seeing what plants have bred, if any. But there are no leader boards, its not competitive, so one person changing the time, in my eyes, doesn't cheat or deny others. Because of that, I'm fine with interacting with people who play the game their way. However, I don't think I would accept rare flowers I could grow myself or achieve on my own. But that is because I want to own that achievement.

• Spoony_Tech

@BenAV I saw your gates open yesterday and just missed coming by to BF you. I'll keep a look out for another opportunity in the future.

As for time traveling I would never do it unless I was just done with the game forever and just wanted to see a few things before putting the game down for good. Even then I probably wouldn't bother. I've been playing the game a ton since release and dont see that stopping anytime soon.

i used to time travel in the GameCube version of animal crossing all the time. i usually did so for shopping and getting the mail faster. because of time traveling in that game. i somehow ended up with 20+ neighbors!!! at least you can't get additional unwanted neighbors in new horizons.

I'm not utilizing time travel because, while I don't consider myself a purist, I actually enjoy the waiting aspect. It gives me something to look forward to. I don't want everything all at once. I've put 140 hours into the game so far normally, and I just unlocked the island designer app. It gives me a sense of accomplishment.

@Spoony_Tech I'll keep an eye out if I see you online too.

Each to their own. But imo time travelling is simply cheating and it can only reduce replay value in the long run. If you feel the need to time travel I question why it is you bought the game in the first place.

• Sat 25th Apr 2020

Not making excuses as a time traveler but I work Friday-Sunday every week, in fact I haven't had a weekend off in 8 years, if I don't tt then I'd never see any of the weekend events in fact I missed the fishing tourney I do set rules though like no turnip buying

• Tue 30th Jun 2020

I have been time traveling but it is more for re-designing my island. If I time travel back will I lose what I have done? Or will what I have done in time travel stay the same if I travel back to current time? I can’t seem to find anything about that. Thanks!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons — Time travel guide

Animal Crossing: New Horizons , like previous installments in the series, runs in real-time. If an hour passes in the real world, it also passes in your game, whether you're playing or not. If Tom Nook says your house will be ready tomorrow, you have to wait until tomorrow for your house to be finished. Then again, you can trick the game into thinking time has passed using time travel. Time travel is not without its risks, and some would even say it's cheating; however, there are lots of reasons you might want to fast forward or rewind your island's clock. We here at iMore have all the details on how to use time travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Time traveling in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

While early reports suggested that Animal Crossing: New Horizons would not allow for time traveling, it didn't take players long to figure out how to accomplish this feat to some pretty impressive ends. By adjusting the time and date on your Switch, you can move your game forward or backward in time. Before you go jumping into the future, though, it's important to know that you can cause some significant and undesirable changes by skipping time.

Why would I want to time travel anyways?

Because Animal Crossing: New Horizons runs in real-time, there can be a lot of waiting around. Let's say a new villager just moved to your island. Well, you have to wait until they're finished unpacking to interact with them. Usually, this would mean checking back in after a day, but with time travel, you can skip straight to tomorrow and have a new villager to interact with.

While that might seem small, let's say it's something a little more important. Maybe you missed out on one of the weekly visitors. Did you miss ours on buying turnips this past Sunday ? Well, you can skip ahead and buy next Sunday's turnips right now. Maybe you want to skip to a certain time of year so you can catch specific fish or bugs . If you've caught all the fish or bugs available to you right now, you might want to jump to next month and try for something new.

What are the risks?

When traveling forward in time, the game will behave as though you simply hadn't played for the time skipped. If you're only skipping a day at a time, this isn't a big deal, but if you skip two months, you will find your island is overrun with weeds, and your villagers have moved away. You may even find cockroaches in your home! Basically, your island will be a dump if you go too far all at once. If you're trying to sell turnips, skipping to the next week will also make all your turnips rot, and going back in time won't fix them, either.

Time-traveling also won't let you take part in certain events. For example, the Museum Day Event runs from May 18 through May 21. If you jump to May 18 right now, you would not be able to take part in this event. Your Switch console's clock needs to be synchronized via Internet to take part in these types of events. This also means if you're time traveling and an event is happening right now, you cannot participate.

Time-traveling also doesn't make rare events any less rare. Say you time traveled in hopes of catching some finned fish that are only available in the summer. Having tested this myself, I can tell you those fish are pretty rare, and most of the time, you won't be catching the sharks you're looking for, but rather suckerfish or even more sea bass. I spent a few hours and more bait than I care to admit trying for sharks and managed to only come across one. I caught a few schools worth of sea bass, though.

How does it work?

If you've read through all that and still want to time travel, the process is pretty easy. Just follow these easy steps:

• Press the - button to save and exit Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
• Press the Home button to return to the home screen.

• Press the X button to close Animal Crossing. Hint: this is critical! If you do not close Animal Crossing, the time jump will not happen!

• Tap the sun-shaped icon at the bottom of the screen to open the System Settings.

• Tap Date & Time

• Tap "Synchronize Clock via Internet to turn off time syncing.
• Change the date and/or time.
• Press the B button until you've returned to the home screen.
• Reopen Animal Crossing.

Just make sure you use your new power responsibly!

One last tip from a seasoned time traveler

If you do decide to time travel, the biggest piece of advice I can offer is make a daily checklist. This game is designed to be played daily, with things to do at any time of day. All those things might not be a priority for you, but it's easy to forget about some, especially the sporadic visitors who have no schedule to when they show up.

If you're skipping ahead to catch specific fish only available in the daytime, but aren't looking around at night, you're going to miss out on visits from Celeste . If you're not checking your secret beach for Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler , your art gallery is going to suffer.

So, make a list of everything you want to do each day. Each day you skip ahead, check off each of those things.

Should You Do Time Travel?

*In order to fully enjoy the real time gaming experience, we highly recommend you NOT to change the time with this method.

Change Time From System Settings

▲Change time from the Switch settings page

▲System Settings can be found here.

In order to change the time in Animal Crossing New Horizon, you need to change the devise time from Nintendo Switch's system setting. Follow the steps below to change your time.

Good Things - Change Time Forward & Back

You can change the season.

By skipping time, you can instantly experience different seasons. This will also allow you to catch Bug and Fish that only appear in certain seasons!

Rocks & Materials Respawn

The materials you can get by striking rocks with a shovel are limited. By changing the date, you can gather materials much more quickly!

Do Flower Breeding Faster

Want to make your island colorful? Floor breeding usually takes time but you can make it faster with time travel.

Get Interest From Bank

As you forward the time, you will get interest based on the amount of savings balance in ABD. At the start of the day, you will be notified by the bank about it by a mail

Penalties - Change Time Forward & Back

No major penalties.

There are no major penalties when it come to progression of your game. Villagers may move out from island if you progress the time too much.

How to 'time travel' in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to speed up time and skip days

• Time traveling in Animal Crossing lets you quickly progress the story, unlock new bugs and fish, and more.
• To time travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you need to change your Switch's date and time settings.
• If you time travel too far ahead, your villagers might move out and weeds will grow throughout the town.

In a lot of ways, Animal Crossing is a game of patience. You need to wait for buildings to be constructed, for special NPCs to arrive in town, and for new fish and bugs to appear. In other words: Few things happen quickly. And when you consider that the game moves in real time, you might be waiting for days, if not weeks.

But what Nintendo won't tell you is that there's a way to skip waiting: Time travel. And you don't need to craft any special items in-game to do it — you just need to open your Switch's Settings menu.

Here's a primer on how to time travel in Animal Crossing, how it works, and what the risks of skipping around too much are.

How to time travel in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Make sure to fully close Animal Crossing before you do this — don't forget to save and quit first!

1. Select the System Settings option on your Switch's home screen.

2. Scroll down to the very bottom of the Settings page and select System .

3. Scroll down again to select Date and Time .

4. At the top of the Date and Time page, you'll see an option called Synchronize Clock via Internet . Select this to turn it Off .

5. Once it's turned off, select the Date and Time option. Use the options to pick whatever date and time you want to travel to, past or future, then click OK .

Once you boot Animal Crossing back up, it'll be whatever date and time you chose.

How time travel works in Animal Crossing

As mentioned, Animal Crossing works in real time. When it's midnight in real life, it'll be midnight on your island, too. The game is able to tell what time it is by syncing with your Switch's internal clock — so if you change the time and date on your Switch, it'll change in-game too.

You can use time travel to skip days, weeks, even months ahead. Do you need a winter-exclusive fish for the museum, but it's August? Just skip forward six months and snag what you need. You can even then head right back to the present day and keep playing like normal.

Here are some other cool things you can do with time travel:

• When you ask Tom Nook to upgrade your house, skip forward a day to have him build it instantly
• Keep jumping forward day-by-day until a special NPC (Redd, Flick, etc.) appears in your town
• Switch days to refresh what the Able Sisters and Nook's Cranny are selling
• Experience both day and night on your island, no matter when you're actually playing
• Put some money in the bank and then skip forward a decade to collect the interest

Additionally, if you meet any NPC that gives you a single item on the day they appear, like Celeste or Gulliver, you can use time travel to quickly unlock everything they offer. Just get the special item from them, time travel one day forward, then time travel back to the day that they showed up. They'll appear again to give you another item.

Even though Nintendo doesn't support time traveling, you won't be punished for doing it. You can still play online with any other Animal Crossing player, even if your game is twenty years ahead of theirs.

The only thing you can't do is play through special holiday events before they happen, since your clock needs to be connected to the internet to trigger them.

The risks of time traveling in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Compared to past games in the series, there are less drawbacks to time traveling in New Horizons. But there are still some disadvantages that you should consider before skipping too far or too often.  

• Villagers might move out if too much time passes without speaking to them.
• If you time travel backwards at all, or ahead past the next Sunday, all your turnips will rot.
• The flowers in your town may wilt, and weeds will grow everywhere.
• Cockroaches will infest your home.
• You'll lose your Nook Stop bonus streak, which awards you with free Nook Miles for every day you use the machine in a row.  

If these cons seem worth the pros, go ahead and change your Switch's clock.
