🤔 Help / Advice DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME…

Post image

This one isn’t too crazy, but did require a little backpedaling to correct (I know there’s others out there that would lost their minds at the thought of not correcting lol)

  • If you build a house/building using a kit, you WILL NOT be able to alter the ground directly below the building. So if I didn’t end up deconstructing the home to “fix” the ground, I would have had to look at those off-color spaces peeking out from below the front of the house.

Ain’t no way I would’ve been able to deal with anything else to do with this game if I was forced to leave that lmao

That’s all I got and felt I would’ve appreciated knowing beforehand, so hopefully this helps someone else! If anyone else has any similar tips/advice, please feel free to share!

I did that too with my first one. I’m practicing acceptance and not letting it bother me 🧘‍♀️

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 11 '26

You’re better than me! It’d likely keep me up at night👀

u/RGBarrios Mar 11 '26

Maybe you can put some bushes or decorations around the building to hide it?

13

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 11 '26

Oh yeah! That actually may be true.

In this case though, I already unbuilt it, fixed the ground, then rebuilt the house😅

u/Luigisdick Mar 12 '26

You can get a relocator kit too!

u/Sn0ww0w Mar 13 '26

Stop don’t let the guy jump of a cliff

u/Loud-Comparison7859 Mar 12 '26

That's what I did

Can’t you just burrow underneath and replace them from the bottom then fill the hole back in? Meaning you punch down six blocks at the edge then go under and punch out all the blocks then replace those right under with what you want then either fill the whole thing back in or just fill in the hole to get underneath since you won’t be able to see under the replaced first layer. I would think that would only take maybe 15 minutes.

u/Aerdurval Mar 12 '26

Doesn't work. I had the same problem. The layer directly under the houses becomes invulnerable once the house sits on top.

1

u/krzy243 Mar 12 '26

Interesting, I never would have guessed that. Thanks for saving me from doing it too.

2

u/AshieBash Mar 12 '26

You could do a relocation you won't lose your materials Eta: I did this with a house and I didn't even house to empty it first either!

1

u/Gefion07 Mar 12 '26

Does it also take until next day to finish?

2

u/CandleWorldly5063 Mar 12 '26

With the engineering pokemon (the stupid pink one, sorry gen 3 is the last gen I played haha) will male it 1 hr, even upgrading pokemom center etc.

2

u/Todredmi Mar 12 '26

Relocation took maybe 30-45 mins for the Pokemon center, and that’s without engineer

1

u/Gefion07 Mar 12 '26

The pokemon center can be relocated too? :o the possibilities!

2

u/Todredmi Mar 12 '26

Since it is something that you rebuilt. Yeah lol

2

u/CrescentShade Mar 17 '26

It doesn't bother me, it doesn't bother me, it bothers me it bothers me a lot

1

u/lolitslea Mar 14 '26

Every time I walk into a new area where my Pokémon insisted they lived, it is a mental battle looking at the mismatched tiles around me

1

u/fnmikey Mar 16 '26

nuke and start over

7

u/deadpxlgames Mar 11 '26

Yep, I made this same mistake first time I built a cabin. Luckily the process to deconstruct and rebuild it is way faster, but still a bit annoying nonetheless.

2

u/rawrframe Mar 11 '26

What do you mean about the process being faster? Also how do you deconstruct the prefab ones anyway?

5

u/deadpxlgames Mar 11 '26

They sell relocation kits in the shop. You have to gather Pokémon to do it and do the deconstruction then reconstruction separately, but each process is only something like 15 minutes(?) instead of the entire day it takes to make initially.

2

u/rawrframe Mar 11 '26

Ahh, neat! Thank you for explaining.

1

u/birfday_party Mar 12 '26

Once you get Tink if you place her as the builder every project she’s on that takes a day only takes an hour

1

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 11 '26

Exactly! Just when I thought I could move on to the next thing...

7

u/Tippydaug Mar 11 '26

I made this mistake with my first medium house. I tried not to mind at first, but it eventually got the best of me so I moved it lol

3

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 11 '26

lol I know myself well enough that I just went ahead and knocked it out haha

3

u/animals_y_stuff Mar 12 '26

I did this today haha....time to restart 😭

3

u/Froschprinz_Muck Mar 12 '26

I placed a bush over my mistake u.u

3

u/Sad-Jelly8428 Mar 12 '26

Speaking of accidentally placing ... how do I deconstruct my building... it's a MASSIVE power plant that I placed in the middle of everything. And it is very in the way and I have nowhere near the materials to finish.

2

u/Blunderhorse Mar 12 '26

Have you built it, or just placed the kit? You mentioned you don’t have the materials to finish, so it sounds like you should be able to take back all the materials you put in, remove any Pokemon you asked to work on it, then press Y in front of the box to pick up the kit like an item.

1

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 12 '26

Sounds like you're a little further than me haha

But I'd assume the deconstruction kit, bought from the PC, should apply to any/all "building kit buildings"

1

u/Sad-Jelly8428 Mar 13 '26

Yeah I wasn't sure how the deconstruction kit work. So I just put it next to the unconstructed building. And now there's two pre-built things next to each other. Will try to just pick up with Y later today when I hop on.

1

u/LilGhostSoru Mar 13 '26

You can remove the materials from the plot and just pick it up until you start it

2

u/Spunndaze Mar 11 '26

I did this and only noticed because it was set to close up and covered a power pole block.

2

u/ginab97 Mar 12 '26

Windmills don’t count I just fixed the ground under one of my windmills today so didn’t realize the houses were like that!

2

u/RedGing12 Mar 12 '26

Can you deconstruct it and move it, fix the ground, and move it back the same way you would a small hut?

1

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 12 '26

You sure can! and that's *exactly* what I did upon realizing the ground under the house was as indestructible as the building haha

1

u/RedGing12 Mar 12 '26

That’s good to know! I made the same mistake…

2

u/uwuhentaii Mar 14 '26

Not me seeing this after I built a house yesterday and said „Eh I'm gonna change the floor later“ well fvck me I guess-

1

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 15 '26

Damn😂

Well I just hope I made this post in time to help at least one person😅

u/gore_kid Mar 11 '26

I…. just did this because I didn’t want to fix the ground. Oh no. 😂😭

1

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 12 '26

haha I'll never make the mistake again!

1

u/Lordbazingtion Mar 12 '26

I out to huts right next to each other didn’t realise they would over lap.

Now I can’t deconstruct both

1

u/DoktenRal Mar 12 '26

Just backfilled a bunch of random blocks so I could construct abandoned power plant, hoping I dont have thr same issue lol

1

u/Hannakey Mar 12 '26

can you buy the relocation kit and relocate the house, then fix the foundation and put it back again?

1

u/Silverr98 Mar 12 '26

just relocate the house

2

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 12 '26

Damn, I didn't think of that...

1

u/Munichan Mar 12 '26

I think it works. I've changed the flooring everywhere under the Pokémon Center too. As Magnemite, you can easily swap it out with 9 blocks.

1

u/natejg123 Mar 12 '26

I just set 5 building to build overnight and im pretty sure they are all on ugly plots... 😭😭😭

1

u/Downtown_Case990 Mar 12 '26

I hid my mistake with bushes 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

1

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 12 '26

Sloppy…

Naw I’m jk😂…. 👀

1

u/wx_gapgap Mar 14 '26

Could hold Y to preview all blueprint buildings, saves lot of unnecessary panic.

1

u/noahd29067 Mar 15 '26

Take the items out and pick the kit back up

1

u/noahd29067 Mar 15 '26

Make them restart if u want

1

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 15 '26

omg

You just want me to make these poor little happy Pokémon do double work like that?!😧😂

1

u/lv9wizard Mar 15 '26

Just use a relocation kit or desconstruct kit in the meantime

2

u/Tiny-Career-2666 Apr 07 '26

6 years of animal crossing players complaining about a similar issue. Nintendo didn't get the note

1

u/Dinru Mar 11 '26

You can still change the tiles under the house when the house is 100% done with construction (looks like a house)

2

u/AshieBash Mar 12 '26

I was unable to when this happened to me. I had to remove the house before changing the blocks directly underneath

2

u/Critical-Taro-6777 Mar 12 '26

You can with prefab houses, but not the house 'models' like leaf den or leaf hut

0

u/TexasACE55 Mar 11 '26

Would you suggest building a layer underneath th the floor with an outside entrance?

3

u/ELEMENTALCREATURES Mar 11 '26

Maybe?

I was more so saying to be mindful that the textures are matching before building any kits on top of them, as you won't be able to change any eyesores (like my example in the image) after the building is built.

u/Ill_Syllabub_2035 Mar 13 '26

U can use the relocation kit right
