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.
Now do the exact same steps for any dream island main.dat you want to have in your dream offline.
- Go to Map - Edit map - Edit field items.
- Dump/Import - Dump all acres
- Buildings:
- Dump Buildings
- Write down the Plaza X & Y location coordinates
- Terrain:
- Dump/Import - Dump all acres
- Acres:
- Dump/Import - Dump Map Acres
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:
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.
- Import Acres
- Import Terrain
- Import Buildings (remember to set the correct Plaza X & Y coordinates from the dream main.dat file)
- Import Items
- Delete Luna's Bed in the plaza
- Delete item #13218 in the plaza
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.
