How does Daisy Mae leave?

Published in Animal Crossing Mechanics 2 mins read

Daisy Mae, the adorable turnip seller in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, is scheduled to leave your island every Sunday at 12:00 PM. She appears on your island only on Sunday mornings, from 5:00 AM until noon, offering her turnips for sale.

Scheduled Departure Time

On Sundays, Daisy Mae will roam your island from dawn until midday. When the clock strikes 12:00 PM (noon), she will automatically depart, regardless of whether you've bought turnips or not. This regular departure ensures she only appears during her designated selling hours.

Circumventing Her Departure

While Daisy Mae is set to leave at noon, there's a specific scenario where she might remain on your island beyond her scheduled departure time. This can occur under certain conditions related to how the game session ends:
  • The Glitch Scenario: If a player is active in the game and turns off their Nintendo Switch console before 12:00 PM without properly saving and exiting the game, Daisy Mae may still be present when the player reloads their game after 12:00 PM. This means she could potentially stay on the island for a longer duration, allowing players to continue interacting with her even past her usual departure time. This behavior is similar to that of other special characters in the game.

It's important to note that this is not her standard departure method but rather a specific edge case tied to game state and console management. Under normal circumstances, she simply vanishes from the island when her selling hours conclude at noon.
