So yesterday I posted how I had fucked up by deleting my wife’s Animal Crossing island in a failed transfer. She was very sad, but I promised her I’d start my own island and play with her so she wouldn’t have to rebuild herself.
When I went to start my own island Tom Nook told.me he had some old save data he didn’t know what to do with. Turns out it was my wife’s island. I went in on her account, enabled back up and let it do its thing.
The backup saved overnight and she was able to log into her island this morning with everything still intact
Not much more to share really. Thanks to everyone who was wishing me well and gave advice on how to recover it.
tl:dr
I was able to recover my wife’s deleted island and her and my bf are visiting each other’s island right now.
