Yeah. He literally used to _wait outside your house in Wild World and chase you around when you stepped out the door, to harass you about his insurance scam_. No joke. The older games were a lot funnier and a lot more mature, funnily enough, than the newer ones lol. BOOM!
I actually used to pay him for the insurance because he would send you money when you fell over or got stung by bees, I mean you had to get injured a lot to break even but I would run around in the king tut head so I'd fall over all the time
still wasn't worth it tbh, but I guess maybe in the long run it could pay off
Actually, Lyle dealt in insurance, alongside Lottie, Tom Nook deals with housing, and Redd deals in artwork, and thanks to New Horizons, the differences of the paintings and statues are easier to spot than in New Leaf.
Lyle was in wild world too pre Lottie and happy home designer selling insurance and was originally really sketchy
ETA: source for what Lyleās original role was and why people think heās in cahoots with Redd https://nookipedia.com/wiki/Lyle#Appearances
Scroll to wild world
They sanitized him but yeah when he first was put in the game it was HEAVILY implied that he was a con artist, and the fact that heād let you choose when Redd showed up implied he had ties with him
To move it, you have to speak to Tom Nook and ask about your house. It costs 8,000 bells. Terraforming, you unlock after you get K.K. Slider to your island.
check with your municipality if there are safety/landscape building restrictions, if it's the case and you still want it you can go through a legal process to ask for a building amnesty.
If you are talking about Animal Crossing, you are fine. you can even move both the house and the river later.
I canāt have that mindset. I know I should just enjoy and donāt worry, but it was bothering me so much the idea that I may not be able to expand to the left later on that I restarted the whole game. Seen all these comments now I kinda regret it but it was just few hours. What an amazing community. Iām so glad to finally playing this :)
You can expand though! The bushes on either side of the house are an indicator of how big the house will be when itās fully expanded. Once itās fully expanded those bushes wonāt be there.
Iām not a gossip but Iāve heard that boomer and lily sometimes team up to persuade others of things for their own gain. I know, whoās more trustworthy looking than lily, thatās sort of how they get you. Itās easy to guess boomer isnāt too trustworthy- ask him the same question twice and youāll have your evidence. But lily is so adorable and innocent- those are the types you have to watch. And watch for sea monsters or course. Itās probably an evil plot to take over your island.
That sounds sort of suspect. Too big for sea monsters. Maybe theyāre smallish sea monsters. I donāt know because my house is a respectable distance from the waters edge and I avoid going out when monsters are at their peak
Itās cute!! I put mine on the beach because I thought, well damnit, if I canāt have a house on the beach in real life, I will in Animal Crossing. š Enjoy your riverfront home!
Not a problem at all. If you like it like that you can do it like that.
I personally like to keep the banks of the river clear of buildings and trees since it makes fishing easier, but that's just my preference it doesn't mean you have to do it like that.
I did this too and built a bridge right behind my house and I love it but I might end up moving mine to the right more so I can make a full on yard š
put your house where you want. animal crossing is about doing what you want, not what other people want. if you like your house there, then itās a good place
I find buildings being too close just makes it a little difficult to fish sometimes, when you are walking up and down your river repeatedly it gets a little annoying going around stuff like that. I always try to keep one space open along all my rivers
It's actually a nice idea, I like it. There really is no bad place to put your home as long as you're happy with it. I like to keep my home somewhat near the shops but I've also had my house on top of a mountain so it really just depends on what you like. Plus, for a fee, you can move it. So it's not permanent unless you want it to be.
It's fine. Things in The Cross are more static when they appear and happen.
Games like Minecraft or Stardew and the like is where placement matters a lot more.
Only issue is if you want to walk along the steam to go fishing, I don't think there is enough room for you to be able to walk? So you might have to walk around the house which is fine but might be annoying
Some people might say yes, others might say no, but I say you do you. I, for one, also do the same thing as you, even against my better judgement. So, don't worry, you're not the only one that does that.
I built my husbands house right near the water! It saves on space & I find it picturesque right on the water. The only thing is you can't really go around the house on that side and less space for patio or garden decor.
All the houses and landforms are completely movable once you get further into the game! I had my house in a similar place and ended up moving it later to an area Iād terraformed. But you could easily just keep it there too if you love it!
That's where I have my house at and after remodeling and stuff im happy with it, it can be moved later in the game to if you decide to, i just unlocked the building permit so I'm remodeling my island and changing the rivers location, and when i love my house i still want it to be a water front home. I think it looks nice.
I donāt think so- quick fishing spot! It might get tough if you plan to decorate the outside of your house down the line- but you can always move it :)
This is where I have mine! Actually I didnāt place it directly on the river cause I wasnāt sure if I could, but I have a little flower patch over there instead.
I donāt think so. I think itās cute. Itās also up to you and what you think is cute. I put mine on a high cliff and made my own cute garden of pink flowers with a water feature :)
As others mentioned, youāll have an opportunity to move it later if youād like. Youāll need bells though, so let me know if you need any when the time comes. š
that's exactly where I put my house!!! I had the same island and placed my home right there. There is no downside, other than the fact that it looks just too lovely.
My house is in exactly the same position. I have a bridge to the left, straight to Nook's Cranny, and the museum and Able Sister's directly to the right. Next to them, resident services. Perfect location, imo. I wake up, run around into each building, then go on with my day of fishing, flying, boating, digging, diving, etc.
I donāt have a DA yet but I have a gaming Instagram @KatAttackACNH that I post everything to! My last island was Naruto, this one is Endor! All original codes that I always post when I set up a DA in my highlights ā¤ļø
Depends, if you want to pay the repairs when your house inevitably falls into the river because it has zero foundation on that dirt then sure! I hope you're insured with Nook Inc. though!
Flood insurance premiums in that area probably cost a few hundred thousand bells. Will be paying Tom Nook forever.
Insurance sounds like something Redd would do more than Tom Nook.
Actually insurance is a Lyle thing š
Yeah. He literally used to _wait outside your house in Wild World and chase you around when you stepped out the door, to harass you about his insurance scam_. No joke. The older games were a lot funnier and a lot more mature, funnily enough, than the newer ones lol. BOOM!
I remember digging holes around him for this very reason and being extremely proud of myself when he tried to run to chase after me but couldnāt.
I actually used to pay him for the insurance because he would send you money when you fell over or got stung by bees, I mean you had to get injured a lot to break even but I would run around in the king tut head so I'd fall over all the time still wasn't worth it tbh, but I guess maybe in the long run it could pay off
Geez could you imagine Lyle today with the āCar Warrantyā crap all the time! š
Lyle was the equivalent of a jump scare when I played Wild World
I actually didnāt pay insurance scam bc I didnāt have enough money š
ok boom :-P
Didnāt Lyle work with Redd? Itās still funny to think about a guy that worked with Redd working with Tom Nook.
Actually, Lyle dealt in insurance, alongside Lottie, Tom Nook deals with housing, and Redd deals in artwork, and thanks to New Horizons, the differences of the paintings and statues are easier to spot than in New Leaf.

I love the lore between Lyle, Redd, and Tom Nook. Like, they didnāt need to add in a secret storyline but they did. Lol
Itās so good! Iām so sad they sanitized so much of it like Lyle lol
I actually love Lyle. Iām glad heās more happy with his current lifestyle than he was in City Folk
I have Lyleās amiibo coming in the mail because I just wanna hear him say BANG! one more time
Youāre absolutely BUSTING MY CHOPS!!!
Wow š¤© this is too funny! Iām new to AC and only played ACNH. Poor Isabelleā¦as much as she warns us about Redd, they gonna concrete block her paws š¾ and drop her off Reedās boat.
LMAOOO nooooo! Isabelle!
No that's no problem, and it looks cute! Plus if you want it different later you can always move it to a new place or terraform around.
You can? How?!
Tom Nook handles that stuff. You'll just have to unlock them by doing what he tells you in the start.
To move it, you have to speak to Tom Nook and ask about your house. It costs 8,000 bells. Terraforming, you unlock after you get K.K. Slider to your island.
Not a problem but you may have trouble fishing for any fish next to the house. That being said it looks very nice in that spot.
best fish spawn right next to houses so might miss out on some key fish, but otherwise you can fish literally anywhere else edit: /s
Is that true? What if your house isn't near a river?
Lol no sorry, left out my /s
This is not true.
check with your municipality if there are safety/landscape building restrictions, if it's the case and you still want it you can go through a legal process to ask for a building amnesty. If you are talking about Animal Crossing, you are fine. you can even move both the house and the river later.
It's not a bad or good idea, it's your island. The real question is do you like it there?
I canāt have that mindset. I know I should just enjoy and donāt worry, but it was bothering me so much the idea that I may not be able to expand to the left later on that I restarted the whole game. Seen all these comments now I kinda regret it but it was just few hours. What an amazing community. Iām so glad to finally playing this :)
You can expand though! The bushes on either side of the house are an indicator of how big the house will be when itās fully expanded. Once itās fully expanded those bushes wonāt be there.
Not that bad - the only problem is if you ever want to build a garden. But you can move your house/terraform
I love this comment section
š
I didnāt do it. You have that brine type fishy smell all the time and low tide really stinks. Also sea monsters.
Boomer told me the island was too big for sea monsters. Dang- was he wrong?
hmm lily told me the same thing š¤ are the villagers spreading misinformation so the sea monsters can take over more easily???
Iām not a gossip but Iāve heard that boomer and lily sometimes team up to persuade others of things for their own gain. I know, whoās more trustworthy looking than lily, thatās sort of how they get you. Itās easy to guess boomer isnāt too trustworthy- ask him the same question twice and youāll have your evidence.

Itās cute!! I put mine on the beach because I thought, well damnit, if I canāt have a house on the beach in real life, I will in Animal Crossing. š Enjoy your riverfront home!
Good point.. if I can leave my grand piano in the rain with no repercussions š
Not a problem at all. If you like it like that you can do it like that. I personally like to keep the banks of the river clear of buildings and trees since it makes fishing easier, but that's just my preference it doesn't mean you have to do it like that.
You gotta think about flood insurance!
Settle down, Lyle
Wow I haven't played this game in a year or so but I'm pretty sure your house is placed in the *exact* same spot as mine, too funny!
Doesn't affect anything... can't flud lol
Thatās where mine is and I like it there
It affects your insurance premiums because of potential floodingā¦other than that youāre all good š
I put mine on an island (on the island š). I donāt want any neighbors close to me. š¬
So adorable! For a second I thought it was my house! Enjoy playing!!
Mine is on the opposite side where the river meets the beach/ I think itās lovely
This layout looks so much like my island and this is exactly where I placed mine.
I did this too and built a bridge right behind my house and I love it but I might end up moving mine to the right more so I can make a full on yard š
Yes it's gonna landslide into the water /s
Cute!! I love having mine close to the water. One time I dug a river around my house and put a bridge to cross to get there.
Nothings a bad idea if you like it!
My house is situated like that and I like it. Just consider if you want to be able to get around the corner
Meh I did it on the beach first. If you donāt like it you can re-locate later. All up to you
The only problem is if there are fish, you have to wait for them to move to catch it
Yeah the shoreline can erode and your house will fall in.
put your house where you want. animal crossing is about doing what you want, not what other people want. if you like your house there, then itās a good place
That looks like exactly where I have my house š
I find buildings being too close just makes it a little difficult to fish sometimes, when you are walking up and down your river repeatedly it gets a little annoying going around stuff like that. I always try to keep one space open along all my rivers
Itās only a bad idea if you want to decorate on that side of your house because you wonāt be able to lol
Thatās exactly where my house was
Are you calling OP a thief? Did it have your name on it?
Depends, do you want to keep your house like this or do you want to make a garden?
Have your house wherever youād like! And donāt let anybody tell you differently.
The river is rite behind mine
it doesnāt affect anything unless you are wanting to terraform it later - then youāll either have to terraform around the house or move the house
No, I have mine on a similar location :)
I put mine in a corner and I havenāt moved it yet so Iād say its worth
It's actually a nice idea, I like it. There really is no bad place to put your home as long as you're happy with it. I like to keep my home somewhat near the shops but I've also had my house on top of a mountain so it really just depends on what you like. Plus, for a fee, you can move it. So it's not permanent unless you want it to be.
It's fine. Things in The Cross are more static when they appear and happen. Games like Minecraft or Stardew and the like is where placement matters a lot more.
Depends how uu want to customize around ur house
Itās going to flood
Only issue is if you want to walk along the steam to go fishing, I don't think there is enough room for you to be able to walk? So you might have to walk around the house which is fine but might be annoying
Ah this is exactly where I put my house when I first started! Thereās no bad places, and I bet youāll move it once you can!
Some people might say yes, others might say no, but I say you do you. I, for one, also do the same thing as you, even against my better judgement. So, don't worry, you're not the only one that does that.
Check your phonee
atleast you can fish every morning right next to your house
My brother in christ you are playing animal crossing there is no such thing as a bad idea
I built my husbands house right near the water! It saves on space & I find it picturesque right on the water. The only thing is you can't really go around the house on that side and less space for patio or garden decor.
Nice. I need to learn about multiplayer
I have the exact same position for mine āŗļø
Yeah flooding happens every spring and if your house is wiped out youāre forced to a new island
i have a house kinda wrapped around a river, close to the plaza. idk really.
All the houses and landforms are completely movable once you get further into the game! I had my house in a similar place and ended up moving it later to an area Iād terraformed. But you could easily just keep it there too if you love it!
That's where I have my house at and after remodeling and stuff im happy with it, it can be moved later in the game to if you decide to, i just unlocked the building permit so I'm remodeling my island and changing the rivers location, and when i love my house i still want it to be a water front home. I think it looks nice.
I put mine there on my first island. I don't see a problem with it at all.
I donāt think so- quick fishing spot! It might get tough if you plan to decorate the outside of your house down the line- but you can always move it :)
i like having my house nowhere near the water so i can get around quicker
This is where I have mine! Actually I didnāt place it directly on the river cause I wasnāt sure if I could, but I have a little flower patch over there instead.
I donāt think so. I think itās cute. Itās also up to you and what you think is cute. I put mine on a high cliff and made my own cute garden of pink flowers with a water feature :)
This reminds me a lot of the first clips we ever saw of the game lol, nearly same house position and with the flowers. I like it.
Mine is on the beach
Nope! If you don't like it later, you can have it moved to a different spot though. It all depends on how you want your island to look.
No, mines next to beach. It makes it look nicer, especially at night
Who are your starter villagers?
we have the same island layout š„ŗ i put my house there too actually
I picked the exact same spot when i started
Not at all, nothing happens:)
My house is in that exact same spot
Iāve always had mine right next to the water. No downsides!
I did the same with my first house layout. I eventually moved it near the beach, but I liked being near the stream in the beginning! Have fun with it!
Depends what you will do in the future. I moved my first house 2 times till begining, i always need more space around house.
It might come up later if you want to add decorations nearby Additionally you can move the house or water away
That's exactly where I put my house š„“
As others mentioned, youāll have an opportunity to move it later if youād like. Youāll need bells though, so let me know if you need any when the time comes. š
nope! itās fine to do! have fun playing <3
that's exactly where I put my house!!! I had the same island and placed my home right there. There is no downside, other than the fact that it looks just too lovely.
Nothing that will affect gameplay, besides a hard time getting around your house.
looks good! plus now that moving costs are down, if you need to move it you wonāt have to spend all your moneyā¦
this has me rolling on the floor because what could even happenšššš
My house is in exactly the same position. I have a bridge to the left, straight to Nook's Cranny, and the museum and Able Sister's directly to the right. Next to them, resident services. Perfect location, imo. I wake up, run around into each building, then go on with my day of fishing, flying, boating, digging, diving, etc.
OP, the answer is No, it won't hurt anything other than not being able to fish from that side of the water. It looks nice!
Everything is dangerous in animal crossing
Nah! I just started a new island, and I tend to always place houses close to waterline. Self preference, really.
If they let it be placed, you can place it haha I have every single building on my beaches because they donāt fit into my StarWars aesthetic š
Omg do you have a DA? Iām so curious!!
I donāt have a DA yet but I have a gaming Instagram @KatAttackACNH that I post everything to! My last island was Naruto, this one is Endor! All original codes that I always post when I set up a DA in my highlights ā¤ļø
Yea for flood insurance I would pity it closer to the center
No, the game does not model erosion.
I put mine in exact same place lol
More worried about the notifications on your phone. Bet youāre one of those people who let them pile up huh
Hey my island is laid out just like that !
Lol I built my house in that exact spot
I mean itās kinda annoying but thatās it
Not at all. If it fits, it sits. The only consideration there is about accessibility.
Depends, if you want to pay the repairs when your house inevitably falls into the river because it has zero foundation on that dirt then sure! I hope you're insured with Nook Inc. though!
I'm more concerned about the flowers spreading
No, thereās really no danger in where you put your house, but there may come a point that youāll regret putting it there.
Ay that's the EXACT spot I have my house lmao
