So for the house thing...I removed a villager, saved it into my game, then went back to the editor and put in raymond. I went back to the game and invited someone. Raymond showed up with the right exterior, but the interior had the wrong wallpaper/flooring. It had most of the right furniture, but all the decoration items were missing.

Quick question, and probably kind of an odd one. Is it possible to somehow export the island representative from one switch (including their outfits, DIYs learned, etc) and import it as a secondary player character (non-island representative) on another switch? Both switches are hacked with the ability to dump and restore saves via JKSV. I would just like to somehow move my character from my switch as he currently is to the other switches's island without starting over completely.
So I've been experimenting with this but I need some help. What I did is backed up both saves using JKSV. On my original save (Where my character is the island representative), I renamed the folder in the backup folder from Villager0 to Villager1, and copied this Villager1 folder to the save I would like to import my character into. I had a dummy account on that save (also Villager1) so I deleted that folder and replaced it with my own Villager1 folder. I then launched NHSE to change the Island name from my former island's name to the new one in the save I am trying to import my villager into. Success! My character was now on the new island, replacing my dummy character and leaving that island's representative (Villager0) alone.

Only problem I've run into is that I cannot check the mailbox of my house - the screen just kinda blinks and nothing happens (But the game knows it's my house because I can move/edit furniture inside it). Second - I cannot use my axe or shovel, it states only "best friends" can do this. Third- all villagers seem to think I'm a visitor. Does anyone know how I can modify my villager to completely be marked as native to this new island? Perhaps...somehow injecting my villager without modifying any of the flags could do it? (But how?)

The only thing I could think of right now would be to revert your save back to when your island rep was the original island rep, and then look at all the flags that villager0 has set and write them down (there's no export right now which is slightly annoying).
Then, in-game, create a second islander and give them the name you want
Save, export the save, and go back into NHSE.
Dump all of your villagers to nhv files
Check all the flags you want the villager1 to have in NHSE
Then, rename the island rep (villager0) to whatever name you wanted to replace it with.
This is when you want to Load all the villager files you dumped and it will probably say that the villager didn't originate in this file, just click Yes to updating all of them, and it SHOULD work fine after that.

ok sry if this is a dumb question

i have a permanently offline modded switch and trade with my legit one via local.
am i allowed to load cheats on my hacked one whilst still on lan play? or does that run a risk of getting both devices banned?

idc about my modded one getting banned at all, i will never take cfw off.

you are 'allowed' to do whatever you want.

I think this line is to do with the island representative but I'm too dumb to figure out how to even use these files to edit anything

quick question

for Item editing:
What does Count and Flag mean?

Based on what I've observed, Count refers not only to quantity but color variation. What about Flag?

Also some items like the Casette Player which I obtained ingame actually had a "Uses" number tagged to it. What does that mean? It also had a "Flag = 1". Hope to get some advise :)

Now that we have these options, would someone mind explaining them. Is it possible to have a villager move in with these commands giving them the right furniture even without a villager dump? Is there there an explanation for these values somewhere?

Those names came out of files from the rom. Anything coming out of a rom is basically "I welcome the sweet release of death" tier difficulty in understanding, because there's one person who does the research https://github.com/Treeki/CylindricalEarth but the research is incomprehensible to mere mortals so what you'll end up doing is a lot of wild mass guessing and praying that your save file will show you the way (ie, get a villager to do something and look at the flags and look for correlations).

Has anyone had any luck doing model edits in this game?

I've tried using Switch Toolbox to replace part of PlayerBody.Nin_NX_NVN.zs and then use LayeredFS to load in romfs edits, but the game seems to just hang on the loading screen before the game boots... I don't even know where to begin with this, honestly, I've never made my own mods before.

Wonder if anyone can help me with this-used cheat codes on AC and everything worked fine, used the fish spawning one and nothing worked except Great White. I caught one and de enabled it but they are still spewing whenever I use bait! Any ideas?

It’s because the name of the island in your villager save doesn’t match the island you’re on. The name is stored multiple times and I don’t think the save editor changes them all just yet.

Well I figured out why it was hanging at least, I wasn't compressing it. Actually rigging it so it WORKS properly is a whole different story, and probably too advanced for me. Gave it my best shot at least.
