I thought I was close to completing my animal crossing: the Aquarium
wing at the New Horizons Museum, but, boy, was I wrong. The July update
brings swimming, which is undoubtedly the biggest gameplay update since
the game's release. Let's see how it works.
To swim, you need a wetsuit. To get your first wetsuit, go to the nooks
and crannies and check out the tools, seeds and the like in the
cupboard. You can use 3,000

one, and if you don't like it, you can buy more through Nook Shopping
or other channels. You'll also receive a submersible, but that's just
for fashion.
This means that your little villagers can now explore the surrounding
ocean islands and dive down into the new bio-water, after which you need
to put on a diving suit and head to the edge of your island. Hit A jump
in the water, then hit A continue to pull. You do it! That's most of
it, and when it comes to Vibing, you've done it.
There's plenty of Marine life here, but unlike fish or worms, you have
no real way of knowing what you might be looking at until you collect
them. You just have to swim around and look for those bubbles that pop
up. When you see this, press Y to dive underwater: the camera will move
and you will be able to see the shadow of the bubble disappears. As far
as I know, all shadows look the same, so you need to go over and see
what it is. Your character will find something new, maybe a mussel,
seaweed, or jellyfish. Unlike fish and worms, there is no real way to
tell them apart before you catch them.
You can donate these new creatures to Blathers and get them collected-- it's a game that we do business and collect
Animal Crossing Items
after all.. This is the main part of it: a neat little addition that
brings the museum back into play, and I always like it when it does. It
might take you a whole year to get them all right, just like bugs and
fish. Also, if you get a scallop, a cooled otter will appear to give you
a DIY recipe.
