    Use a slingshot. You will get one later in the game if you're starting. When you get one, step into the shadow of the balloon and shoot straight up. This is a handy technique if you want to get your balloon on your first try.

    To upgrade Resident Services, you must pay off your moving fees, upgrade your tent to a house, unlock the museum and Nook's Cranny, build a bridge, and build housing plots for 3 villagers. Following what Tom Nook tells you to do will unlock it eventually.

    Sometimes the game has an autosave issue. Before you stop playing and exit the game, you can press the - button. This will give you the option to save and quit the game. Press this, and the game should save itself.
  • Question
    I used my nook miles ticket and invited a villager. But the villager won’t show up on my island. Any tips?
    Idabelle
    Community Answer
    If you don't have any plots of land ready, then that is probably why your villager won't show up. However, they will if you simply prepare a plot of land. It also may be that your villager just hasn't showed up yet because sometimes, even with a plot of land, it will take a few days for them to arrive.
  • Question
    After I finish the 3 plots and the villagers move in, what do I do?
    Idabelle
    Community Answer
    Once all the villagers move in, Took Nook will say that resident services is going to be upgraded. After waiting two days, walk into the upgraded residents' services, and Tom Nook will tell you the next steps on getting K.K. Slider to visit your island.
  • Question
    I get how to play, but I own every fruit in the game. I even let some people take the trees, but someone said "I'm gonna dig your island unless you pay me!", is there any way to undo digging for BFFs?
    Idabelle
    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, no, the only way is to change it so you aren't BFFs anymore.

    You need to have ten villagers, fencing around all recreational areas, connect all parts of your island with bridges inclines, at least 110 trees or shrubs, 250 flowers in bloom, 20 pieces of Nook Miles furniture, 40 pieces of Nookstop furniture, 50 DIY items, and little to no weeds or tree branches. In hindsight, very hard.
