When players first booted up their new Animal Crossing: New Horizons game when it launched in 2020, earning Nook Miles was one of the things the community had to grind for in the life sim. Players needed to complete a range of tasks from watering plants, fishing, and catching bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons in order to earn these a limited number of points on a daily basis. Recently, a player shared that their 50-year-old parent has played the game for so long that they were able to reach the maximum amount of Nook Miles a player can earn in the video game.
Nook Miles in Animal Crossing: New Horizons have a variety of different purposes. In the base game, players could exchange Nook Miles for quality-of-life improvements. Bag upgrades, additional NookPhone apps, and Nook Miles tickets are some of the features that fans could redeem with these points. Later on, Nook Miles points were given more value when Animal Crossing: New Horizons released their free 2.0 update as it gave the community more items to redeem such as Nook Inc. Gear, more NookPhone app upgrades, and treasure island trips.
Showing off the vast number of Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nook Miles their mother has earned on the Nintendo title, Redditor LarryDasLlama posted a screenshot of their game on the online forums. According to the Redditor, their mother is over 50 years old, and that they reached a total of 9,999,999 Nook Miles while playing the life sim. LarryDasLlama shared on their post that reaching one million Nook Miles is not possible in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Fellow fans of the game expressed their amazement at LarryDasLlama's mother's achievement. Some shared that they could not imagine having to trade that many points into Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nook Miles tickets, given how much dialogue a player has to go through to redeem just one ticket. Others also wondered how long and how often a player must log onto the life sim for them to earn that many points. Unfortunately, LarryDasLlama has not replied or given clarity yet as to how their mom was able to reach such an incredible milestone in the game.
Given how valuable Nook Miles are in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it is not surprising for the game's community to be impressed by such numbers. Hopefully the Redditor explains how their mother was able to get so many points and also share what they plan to do with that many Nook Miles. The game's fanbase would likely love to know.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently available on the Nintendo Switch.
