The Representative is the character on the user account that created the island. All other user accounts can make a character and play on the island, but can't make decisions or major changes. Only the original character can do that.

Ok, so the representative does not have to be the first user account, just the one that created the island? I'll dig into that AC RE thread to see if anyone RE'd it yet, but that might be possible. Is that the main reason people want multiple islands?

Yes, this is the biggest reason that people want multiple islands in order to get around the policy of Nintendo.
Example, in a home, two people want to play the full game but there is only one switch, nintendo does not allow it, so we want to find a way to do it ourselves with the backups

Yes, whoever creates the island, owns the island. So to speak. I'm uncertain of all of the restrictions..as I play solo..but Its a big cause of frustration in the community. A lot of people play with their families, but can't get the full experience if you aren't the island creator.

Cool, i'll take a look. Should be straight forward but you never know sometimes :)

Could I just use jksv and back up my save, then delete my save on the settings, start over a new game and back it up, will I be able to restore back to my original island and back and forth if possible?

Ok, sorry for the stupidest question in the century but...well, I don't have SX OS yet. I wanted to have multiple islands so other people in my house can play, but I'm wondering if installing SX OS and Tinfoil dramatically changes the interface of the Switch. I'd want it to be as lowkey as possible...though hoping it doesn't change how the switch menus looks visually might be too much for the other people that play.

it does not change the way the switch looks, except sxos has a boot up image when the switch is first powered on.

Hello, I currently have my own island and my husband wants to start playing, if I do this hack will it effect my current island? Can I carry on with my island as it is or do I have to start again?

Also is there any downfalls with doing this? Would any updates on the game be delayed running the game this way?

Thankyou all

Just so we are clear,

1) save the back up for (user 1)

2) delete the save file directly from Nintendo

3) create another account (user 2)

4) back up the user 2 in tinfoil and done?

i think if you have sxos license, there is an option in tinfoil that allows you to activate the codes inside the tinfoil app.
I cant seem to find it, I was hoping there was a cheat to get turnips. I always sleep in on a sunday lol
