Route: Timing starts on pressing 'Ok' on the popup window that says "Don't worry about saving- this game will autosave your data''

Go through KK dialogue. If you can, try to pick the second option when he asks what you would do. It has the least amount of text after it, which means timesave.

Go through character creation. If you keep your finger on the right side of the screen the whole time, you can just click through it all very quickly, saving time.

Let the next cutscene play out. There is no way to skip it.

When you get out of the van, immediatley hit the X on the window explaining how to walk and click on Isabelle. You can click either choice for the first dialogue option, there is no difference between what you choose. She will then ask your name, hit the 'Ok' on the middle of the screen and then hit a random letter on the keyboard and confirm it. Spam through more dialogue, choose either option. When she asks for the theme of the camp, choose sporty this is the fastest. Spam through the rest of the dialogue and head to the orchard.

At the orchard, hit the X on the window, and head straight for the apple tree. Shake it, and grab the apple on the left, and they head to Jay (or whatever villager is for your theme if you didn't choose sporty. Spam through the dialogue and give Jay the apple. Let the cutscene play out, no way to skip it, claim the cotton. Let the friendship level stuff play out, and head back to the campsite.

Back at the campsite, go through the Reese/Cyrus/Isabelle dialogue to get your furniture. This next section is very self explanatory. Just place the furniture and invite Jay. Then, talk to Isabelle a few more times and then enter the download.

The download is easily the most influential part of this run, but it is unfortanetly uncontrollable. The faster your internet speed, the faster this goes. It sucks but it is what it is. You don't need to necessarily collect bells here but you can if you want to keep your hands busy during this segment. Also note with updates this download will only take longer because the update data needs to be downloaded as well.

After you finish the download, click off all the popups that come up, and claim an item from your mailbox, any item works, just claim one, it is important and you will see why in a little bit. Then open up the map and check what each villager wants. If what they want is not very good or easy to get, reset the run. It isn't worth the time to get it for them if it is bad. Typically you want at least 4 or the villagers to ask for fruit or shells. After checking this and determining if it is good enough, go to a villager that is requesting something you can get in the same area (for example, if Rosie was at the orchard and wanted an orange, I would head there first). Note that you have to give a villager a gift and have a conversation with them to have enough friendship points to invite them. After all four villagers have level 2 friendship (1 gift and 1 conversation) Open the crafting menu, and go to the tab with the leaf icon. Craft the following items: Swining bench (looks like a brown bench with a pole around it), Lovely Love Seat (a pink couch), Ranch Couch (Turqoise and brown chair) and Modern Sofa (a blue and gray checkered couch). You can and should use leaf tickets (which you can get from isabelle's goals) to speed up the crafting. After you craft every item, invite all the villagers from the contacts menu. Make you check the box that says skip, otherwise it is a 30 second unskipable cutscene.

Timing ends when the final thing pops up saying you have a camper, indicating your 5th camper.

Tips: -When villagers are talking, you can hold your finger on the screen to skip through it quickly -Resets are very common in this category so be very patient, I am currently on 176 attempts over 36 days since my last PB. It takes a lot of patience.

Good luck and have fun :)
