I don't really want to buy two copies of the game so both of us can get the full enjoyment out of it.

Worse than that, my understanding is owning two copies wouldn't help. You'd need to buy a second Switch instead.

From what I've read the best solution at least for my particular problem would be to just have my girlfriend play on my profile and we just share a game together instead of having separate players on the same island.

Yeah do not buy two copies. It is tied to the hardware. You would need two switch consoles.

This is worse with kids (kids want to hog everything and do it first lol), but I will say this:

Me, my wife, and two kids are all on 1 island. You can get your own DIY recipes so no worries about tools or anything.. We have all paid off our vacation package and building our own house. Your miles and achievements are tied to your profile so actually plenty to earn.

Just do not be resource hogs and it is manageable. We just found the best thing for us with so many people. You have the option to get to mystery islands, I will not spoil how, and this will allow you to savage those lands as it does not matter if you take everything.

This has helped us add different trees, more fruits, and more resources. It has been fun growing the island together and going to visit their houses. Hell, you can even share stuff, if my wife buys two campfires, for example, she can go place one at their house and now they do not have to go build one.

There is also co-op which gives you the option to enjoy the game at the same time. I still want my own island so we could visit each others island, but we are stuck at this, so even though I am bummed about it, we are making the best of it.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I'll probably still download the game this weekend because it sounds like a blast all things considered.

Yep, I decided to go pick up a copy once I finish up with work today. Decided to do a physical copy since the Nintendo staples tend to hold their value unlike most video games.

Definitely get it!!! Despite those issues, the game is awesome. I just want to make it known the issues with a single island so maybe we can get enough awareness for Nintendo to change it. I got it day 1 and never regret it.

Sure thing.

For those that are playing with another player (or more) how are you handling the "restrictions" on the additional player? Is it best to simply play on the same profile or not much difference overall?

Anyone got tips on finding the nuggets. I need 30 to build the shop.

Spoiler

You'll get some here and there by talking with the other citizens. Other than that I've only found them by hitting rocks with shovel as they give you some nuggets sometimes. I used an axe and got some to but that destroys the rock and you have to wait a couple days for the rock to re-appear.
