This guide is to make a dream island your own. From there, you can update your dream island with it and then edit your main.dat file to import all of your original files in order to recover your original island while having the new dream island.

In NHSE, open the main.dat file from your island.
  1. Go to Map - Edit map - Edit field items.
    • Dump/Import - Dump all acres
  2. Buildings:
    • Dump Buildings
    • Write down the Plaza X & Y location coordinates
  3. Terrain:
    • Dump/Import - Dump all acres
  4. Acres:
    • Dump/Import - Dump Map Acres
Now do the exact same steps for any dream island main.dat you want to have in your dream offline.

After you've exported both your island and dream island main.dat map files, open your own save main.dat and go to Map - Edit map - Edit field items. You need to import all 4 files you exported from the dream save.

My recommendation is to do it in inverse order, starting from 4. Acres (which will set the correct river exit locations). So:
  1. Import Acres
  2. Import Terrain
  3. Import Buildings (remember to set the correct Plaza X & Y coordinates from the dream main.dat file)
  4. Import Items
    • Delete Luna's Bed in the plaza
    • Delete item #13218 in the plaza
Update your dream with this new island. Then after it's updated, go back to edit your main.dat and import your original files and plaza coordinates.

Do with this guide what you will, but you shouldn't be updating your own dream island with another person's island, or playing online with another person's island for that matter. I use this method mainly for playing around with the editor, and never to play online with other people.

Oh no! sorry ☹️ how did it happen?
I honestly don't know - I am still so new to this. People on this site are so willing to help newbies out - I wanted to be able to help, too. It's my own fault - I should have read more about how to safely do things. Fortunately, I do not play online (except to use Luna) so it's all good. You are so very kind for asking - have an incredible day (you just made mine :) )

Hi everyone! Do you know which code must be entered to display ceiling items on nhse?
Hello, GOT85! I think I know this one: please try 1452 (UnlockInterior_CeilingFurniture = 1) (and, unsure if necessary, but 1481 HasLookMyHouseExplain_CeilingFtrAWall = 1). Let me know :)

I noticed that the first one had been dumped, but I am not authorized to access the Google link.
I greatly appreciate it.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
