is a game many still adore and play despite being released nearly five years ago. It has amassed a significant following within the cozy gaming community. Even those outside the cozy gaming community have found solace within the world with its charming villagers and peaceful island life.

Whether players are just starting or have been playing for a while, there's always something fun to do. Even after completing the main storyline and watching the credits roll, players will find there's still a lot to explore, create, and enjoy. While the game is almost five years old, there are still finishing touches all players can participate in to continue enjoying island life in 2025.

Starting out in, players are given a random fruit native to their island, which can't be changed unless restarting. There are six fruits: apples, oranges, pears, cherries, peaches, and coconuts. If you're a completionist or want a new challenge, the first step should be collecting all six fruit types. There are a few ways to do this.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons players are full of creativity, and that extends to filling their bank accounts. Here are some ways to earn Bells fast.

First, you can visit mystery islands in hopes of finding a non-native fruit. Mystery islands usually have coconuts and your native fruit, and it's rare to find others. If you're not up to island-hopping,you can visit a friend's island with a fruit different from yours or have them visit your island and bring you a fruit along. They can also send it to you through snail mail. If you have no friends who play, you can usually find players willing to donate or trade fruits through Facebook groups or Discord servers.

You can sell native fruit to the Nooks for 100 Bells, while non-native fruit can be sold for 500 Bells.

The final way to collect fruit is through your in-game mom, who occasionally sends you snail mail with an attached random fruit. This is the longest method, with exchanging with friends being the quickest.
