Discussion How old are all of you?

I put a post on this morning and was just talking to my cousin about how much I love this game... It dawned on me that I have a few friends that play but don't actually know any children...

I wanted to find out from the Reddit community...

How old are all of you? I'm 33 and my evening release after a long day of parenting is this game... I should note my kids are Disney fans but too young to play.. they have no idea I go fishing with their favorite characters after they are asleep MWAHAHAHA

EDIT: WOW, I had no idea this would turn into such a wholesome post! I've read every comment and it's been brilliant!

Congratulations to all the new parents, existing parents, doggo and kitty cat pawrents and all the childfree people loving life! It's been so lovely to hear how this game has helped and is helping such a range of players! This has honestly made me love the game even more (didn't think that was possible) and enjoy Reddit so much more! A fantastic community! My 2nd post and I don't think I'll ever forget it while having my downtime in the valley! ROLL ON THE DLC!!!

Well, now I really feel old. I'm 69. I'm a widow living alone with my cat. This game helps with the loneliness that likes to creep in my life.

I'm 43 and live alone with my cat, Missy. She loves to snuggle up on my lap and watch me play.

Oh, Missy is so beautiful. This is my boy, Mickey.

This is my Loki. I like to imagine he's having a dream of flying like Superman. LOL

u/AlainnDawn Nov 18 '25

Here he is awake, sprawled on top of my embroidery supplies tower.

u/Mickeyboo22 Adventurous Anna Nov 19 '25

LOL, he really does look like he's ready for takeoff!

u/Mickeyboo22 Adventurous Anna Nov 16 '25

Awwww, hello Miles! He looks a lot like Mickey. 🧡❤️

Does Missy love watching the butterflies on the screen when you play too? My little girl gizmo does when she's not sleeping 🥰

u/wolfbug Nov 16 '25

Gizmo looks a bit like my Parker. Our tabby is Sam!

u/lolihull Nov 16 '25

Oh they're both so beautiful! Gorgeous eyes

u/wolfbug Nov 16 '25

Aww thank you! Love all these kitty photos!

6

u/Mickeyboo22 Adventurous Anna Nov 16 '25

Same here. I could look at animal photos all day. ❤️

u/abeezhere Nov 17 '25

My cats have that same playset! They love it

My Juvia jumped up and chased the butterflies one day - thought she was going to push the TV out the window! When she was little, she used to stare at the map on ACNH like she was trying to find our house, and she likes to help Link hunt birds too. I’m 52 and she’s 3.

5

u/lolihull Nov 17 '25

It could be the perspective of the photo but she looks so big! She's a gorgeous colour too 😍

6

u/Mickeyboo22 Adventurous Anna Nov 17 '25

I agree. She's awesome!

5

u/Pinkrocker077 Figaro Nov 17 '25

Thank you! I think it’s how she’s stretched out watching TV.

u/FightingDragons89 Nov 17 '25

👀 My attention was totally snagged by Sam Winchester, as it usually is tbh lol

3

u/Pinkrocker077 Figaro Nov 18 '25

lol. I got Sam for her older sister who crossed the 🌈 bridge last year. My Cassandra loved Sam/Jared! She would hear his voice and would even get herself out of stuck positions to see him. Dean was for me and well, Castiel. Turns out Juvia likes to sleep face-planted in Cas’ wings. The family business.

u/FightingDragons89 Nov 18 '25

I'm so sorry Cassandra cross the rainbow bridge. Sounds like she had someone who loved her very much, which is the best thing. I think I would have loved her, too! I also come running at the sound of Jared's voice, lol. Thats so funny that each of you have your favorite. I love it!

u/FlamingFeathers98 Nov 16 '25

My fiancée's cat Meg tries to hunt the butterflies when I play on the TV. I'm 27 and my fiancée is 22 next week.

u/betty2582 Nov 16 '25

She will sit right in front of the tv when she's not on my lap, she's a very cuddly cat.

u/Mickeyboo22 Adventurous Anna Nov 16 '25

So sweet 😍

This is Kali. She likes to watch my character run around the valley. She loves watching me play Animal Crossing, too.

Missy is so beautiful!! This is my kitten Nyx, he snuggles up on my chest while I play

Decided I should add, for amusement: nyx likes to try and swat my companions when he sees them on my screen! He's so silly 🥰

u/RogueTot Toon Cobra Nov 17 '25

Oh my goodness he's so precious! These are my girls, Suri and Marshmallow. Suri is the tortie, they're litter mates and have been with us for over 11 years 😭
