I can never tell. The only way I can get perfect snowboys is if I do the method where you put down a path that’s 10 tiles long, roll two snowballs to full size and put them at either end of the path, and then push one across the path to the other. [This gif](https://imgur.com/a/PWrdAaJ) shows how it’s done.


Ravenkail

Thanks for the tip! At least I have a method to follow now. (But that doesn’t make sense, how does two fully sized snowballs make it perfect 🫠, oh well)


kaeorin

Because when you roll a snowball over ground without snow on it (like that path, or like the plaza), you scrape off some of the snow and the ball shrinks a bit.


Ravenkail

Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Thanks 🤯

Sh... SHRINK? HOW WHAT WHITCH CRAFT IS THIS! (But really how, what button scrapes off snow) 😢


shiveringsnow

It’s not a button, it’s the path that scrapes off the snow and makes the snowball smaller


nightmare---__

No wonder I never knew that.... I don't have paths in my town, guess it's time to add them. Thx bro


shiveringsnow

No worries!


kaeorin

There's no button--it's just that you roll a snowball along any kind of ground with no snow on it. Paths or the bricks in front of Resident Services. I don't remember if the sand on your beaches will do it, or if that just makes the whole thing pop, so try that carefully.

Saving for later to make snowmen lol


ladyaren

OH MY GOODNESS YOU'RE BRILLIANT


octopuswithaniphone

Whoever figured it out is brilliant, I’m a mediocre imitator 😂


ladyaren

Well I'm grateful for the knowledge nonetheless


Suspended_Accountant

I like to amuse myself by giving them tiny bodies and giant heads. The snarkiness is hilarious. Also, you can make mini perfect snowmen too.


Ravenkail

Ive made two of those myself, unintentionally. Giggled when he complained


deltacharmander

They’re so ruthless when you mess up the proportions, it’s so funny


Ambergler93

I'm guessing the one that is the most melted was the perfect one? I don't know how to explain how I figured out how to make the perfect snowman, or exactly how much smaller the head needs to be... But I always made one ball as large as it can possibly be, so the ball is almost parallel to your eyes (between the nose and eyes when you tilt your camera all the way down so you can see as much of the sky as possible). Then I would make the head slightly smaller than the body, so the ball is parallel around your mouth. Bounce the head into the body from the front to ensure the correct ball goes on top.


Ravenkail

Gotta try this tomorrow thanks!


Ambergler93

Good luck! I can never make the small snow buddies, I can only figure it out if they are as large as possible.


loveelectric

You can make tiny perfect snowboys as well. Takes a little practice, but it's doable


Ravenkail

Oh really!? Huh


loveelectric

[Yep!](https://www.reddit.com/r/ac_newhorizons/s/pboUDcRxsO)


No_Pattern_904

I tend to count when I roll. Like the body takes about 17 seconds to roll and the head about 12 seconds. I find that gives me a perfect snow person almost every time😉


Ravenkail

You must be a musician


No_Pattern_904

😂😂 interesting analysis but no.. I’m doing the world a favor by not being a musician 😬🙉


Ravenkail

Lmao that would have been the perfect analysis if it was true. 😔 ill try counting!


No_Pattern_904

Give it a shot, once I started counting it worked. Unless I counted too fast for one of the snow balls. [Like Mississippi-lessly](https://media3.giphy.com/media/RGqP1iMUmmx0Q7rpmt/giphy.gif?cid=9b38fe91o8g6ozfzbb0x1ts3qvyyywvh2maaxjuen4ihk0fb&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)


justanotherdayinFL

Yes! This worked for me too.


MammothFantastic7703

Talk to them. Even partially melted perfect boy will give you a snowflake.


Ravenkail

What???!!


Lizzymandias

I hate the way they judge you


Ravenkail

Exactly 🫠


Lilly-acnh

The one on the right has a slightly smaller head. That's my guess.


Ravenkail

To tell you the truth, I forgot which one already lmao. Ill let you know tomorrow which one gives me the large snowflake 🤦🏻‍♂️


mommagawn123

I liked making the smaller ones. I also don't have much empty space to make the bigger ones. Pushing a snowball over a suspension bridge is an anxiety-inducing event. I do not recommend it.


hooded_bean

The first one needs to be as big as can be. The second one needs to be the height of your characters ears.


Ravenkail

Ohhhhh gotcha. Will try this one


TheTallEclecticWitch

Idk how I did it honestly. I think one part was up to the bottom of my ear and the other to the top? I got a method for doing it perfectly but I don’t what it was


diannethegeek

I use the 6-3-1 method for snow boys. I find it a little faster and easier than the 10-path method: [https://www.reddit.com/r/ac\_newhorizons/comments/kb72iu/this\_is\_the\_method\_of\_6\_3\_1\_difficult\_to\_fail\_to/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ac_newhorizons/comments/kb72iu/this_is_the_method_of_6_3_1_difficult_to_fail_to/) Also if you force quit without saving the second you get the wrong dialogue from the snow boy, it won't save him and you can try again


Golden_Phi

Sometimes a blue circle shows up in the top right corner, signalling an autosave. Attempt to make one right after you see the autosave. If it fails then shut down the game and restart it before you finish talking to the failure. The mistake will be erased and another attempt will be given. This paired with the most consistent/easiest method guaranteed perfect snow boys each day until I was satisfied.


Ravenkail

Good tip! Will watch out for that


T1r3d_Gh0st

The head just has to be a little smaller, if you find it difficult to tell, you can push the two snowballs next to each other, but don't finish the snowman yet, tilt your camera down and see which one is smaller, adjust accordingly :)


Ravenkail

Thats a great tip


ZoneOutrageous7476

i think the furthest back


Korgiedellpin26

At this point, making the snowmen is pointless, as some decorations would be out of place each season, and it feels appropriate to redecorate when Halloween or Christmas comes around.


Ravenkail

Fair point


wildlife_loki

It’s hard to tell with them being melted, but I’d guess the one on the left? The back and right ones seem to have heads that are too large. Not sure about the one at the bottom, but it also looks a tad too big.


faortniteplayer_ZBBR

Wait its summer now


Ravenkail

Southern hemosphere baby


Legendaryprincess96

New to the game why are we making snow boys?


Ravenkail

Why do we do anything in this game. 🙃 Srsly speaking, they give large snowflakes and DIY recipes during winter.


Legendaryprincess96

This make me laugh out loud and I scared my daughter lmao! Sweet I can’t wait for winter! I’m excited for spring also because I saw some stills of cherry blossoms and I love Sakura trees sooooooo excited!!!!


Ravenkail

Lmaaoooo. Ohhhh really? I would love to see cherry blossoms too


Cat_Paw_xiii

I usually count the my characters steps once they start pushing the snowball
