Time Cheat for Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Time Cheat

By adjusting the time and date settings of your console you can cheat time in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Manipulating time will help you to do things like quickly finish building upgrades, give you more fossils to find, and reset your daily tasks. The downside to tampering with the time is that it can cause your relationships with your villagers to deteriorate and you might mess up your ability to participate in special events since they won't begin unless you are synced up to the internet.

The following steps will advance your game by one day.

1) Save your game by pressing the minus button on your left Joy-Con.

2) Close Animal Crossing: New Horizon by pressing the Home button and then pressing X.

3) Go to the system settings menu and scroll down to 'System', then scroll to 'Date & Time'.

4) Uncheck the box that syncs your Switch's internal clock to the internet. Then move the date forward exactly one day.

5) Reopen Animal Crossing: New Horizon and start the game, then save again.

6) Repeat steps 1 to 3, but this time check the box that syncs your in-game clock to the internet.

Note: Keep in mind when you advance your game that it will rot turnips.
