Only Two Villagers to Begin With
When you first start out on at Tom Nook’s Deserted Island Getaway, you’re going to be a little underwhelmed.
That island teeming with decorations, furniture, neatly-laid out paths, beautiful flowers and just a general magical aura about it that you’ve seen in the trailers are a stark contrast from what you’ll be greeted by when you first arrive.
The island is a blank, albeit weed-filled canvas. You’ll need to really do some gardening to get things up to scratch.
What makes things worse, though, is that it’s only you and two animal villagers on the island when you first arrive. It limits the variation in what you can do during these early stages, particularly during those opening days when there’s not a whole lot going on.
Don’t worry too much, however, as the animal villagers will soon be flocking to your island ready to set up life alongside you. It really is just a bit of a waiting game at the beginning more than anything else. Just stick with it.
