**Introduction: September Surprises in Animal Crossing New Horizons**
It’s that time again! September is here in *Animal Crossing: New Horizons*, and with it, a new set of seasonal changes, bug-catching opportunities, and—of course—bugs (in the game, not the kind you find in your house!). Some players have noticed a few glitches and issues in the game this month, and it’s causing a bit of frustration. But don’t worry, we’re here to talk about it, laugh a little, and find some solutions together. Let’s dive into the September bugs causing a stir!
**What’s Going On? The September Bugs in the Game**
In September, *Animal Crossing: New Horizons* players have been encountering several bugs that disrupt gameplay, some of which are pretty hard to ignore. You might see certain creatures not appearing at all or even experience odd behaviors in your island’s environment. These bugs may also affect certain gameplay mechanics like the daily routine, special events, or even the appearance of specific animals that should be around for the month.
Some players have reported that the game’s new autumn-themed changes don’t seem to trigger as expected, with things like flowers or fallen leaves not showing up on time. Other bugs are more specific—such as the appearance of critters not matching the in-game calendar or even some villagers randomly walking through walls (Yes, it sounds as strange as it looks!).
**Platform and Settings Impact**
Interestingly, the bugs seem to appear in different ways depending on the platform you’re playing on. Players using the Nintendo Switch Lite have reported more frequent bugs and glitches than those on the regular Nintendo Switch. While it’s unclear if the smaller screen or the lack of a dock causes these issues, it’s something to consider. Similarly, some players report the bugs are only affecting certain time zones or game save files, making the problem even more puzzling.
**The Fun and Frustration of Bug-Catching**
In true *Animal Crossing* style, part of the joy of playing is catching the many bugs and creatures that appear throughout the seasons. September has its own collection of critters, such as the much-loved Cicada Shell and the spooky, autumn-themed Tarantula. However, these September bugs have been tricky to find, and many players report that they appear only sporadically or vanish before they can catch them! If you’re someone who loves completing the bug collection, this can be both an exciting challenge and a source of annoyance.
**How Can We Fix These Bugs? Solutions for a Smoother Experience**
Now, let’s talk about how we can get things back on track. First of all, make sure your game is up to date! Nintendo regularly releases patches to fix bugs and improve the gameplay experience. It’s always a good idea to check for any available updates, as some bugs could be addressed through these patches.
Secondly, try restarting the game or your console. A fresh restart often clears out any temporary issues. You can also check your island’s settings, like adjusting the time or visiting another player’s island to see if that resets things.
If you’re experiencing specific bugs like the game not loading seasonal changes, try playing in different in-game time zones or adjusting your system’s date and time settings. Some players have found success in syncing their in-game calendar with the real-world date.
**What Are Other Players Saying? Community Feedback**
Players are not shy when it comes to discussing their frustrations and triumphs. Many have shared their experiences on forums, Reddit, and Twitter. Some players are laughing it off, sharing screenshots of their villagers walking through walls and saying, “Hey, it’s just *Animal Crossing*!” Others, however, are frustrated with missing bugs and broken seasonal events, especially those aiming for 100% completion of their critter collection.
In fact, a few dedicated players have started documenting which bugs are showing up in September and which ones are missing, helping others avoid the same mistakes. One player commented on a Reddit thread, “I’ve been trying to catch a tarantula for days, but it never shows up! I guess the game doesn’t want me to catch it.” It seems that many players are feeling the same way, making it clear that this issue isn’t a one-time thing.
