All changes taking place in Animal Crossing in September

Changes in the scenery

September marks the onset of fall for Animal Crossing players in the Northern Hemisphere. The entire month will be full of exciting changes, and the first change will be the look of the island. Grass will turn a lighter shade of green before turning orange, marking the transition between the two seasons.

Crafting materials

September will also introduce a couple of new crafting items, including acorns and pine cones.

They look good the way they are and can be used as decorative items. However, players can also use these to craft items. Players will also get to try out a great deal of new DIY recipes. Interestingly, they can get more by shooting down balloons that hover over Animal Crossing island.

Players in the Southern Hemisphere can collect young spring bamboo from the bamboo trees, which can be used to craft an array of new items.

Again, Animal Crossing players will have to hunt for DIY recipes to craft items inspired by a bamboo theme.

Events and bush changes

September doesn't have a lot of events to offer. Sadly, Moon Viewing Day, Chuseok and the Bug-Off event are the only affairs players are looking forward to.

Even though the aforementioned events offer a handful of new items, players are eager for events that October will introduce.

Animal Crossing players can plant a wide array of bushes on their island. Unsurprisingly, these spawn in the game depending on the season they are associated with.

For players in the Northern Hemisphere, the Hibiscus Bushes will stop spawning on September 20.

Fret not, the Tea Olive Bushes will replace them and will be available from September 21.
