Give Clear Instructions on What to Do
You can be as strict or as lenient as you want with the visitors on your island, but make sure to set up at least a few ground rules to protect your island from getting ravaged.
For instance, you might want to mention that certain special NPCs are on your island, such as Leif, Kicks, or Redd, and that visitors are allowed to purchase items from them before leaving. For those of you that don’t want that, make sure to specify that before letting people in, and you might want to create a fenced path from the airport to the shop so that people can’t wander.
If you do let people wander, you’ll also want to set clear rules like, no running on your flowers, or no talking to villagers in boxes who might’ve already been promised to a friend or another player.
If you’re working with groups, make sure to let everyone know that they need to leave via the airport to prevent communication hiccups, or ask them to stick around until the group’s done so you can kick them all out at once with the – button.
