Item Editor Basics

This section covers basic item editing in NHSE - namely editing items in your inventory and in storage.

For information on editing the items on your map, check out the Field Item Editor guide.

The Item Editor

The item editor has several fields:

  1. Item Name - this is an unlabeled dropdown, but is self explanatory
  2. Item Name 2 - this is an unlabeled dropdown, but is self explanatory
    • This dropdown will only appear if Item Name is set to certain values
    • Known values with the second drop down include: DIY Recipe, Fossil, Message Bottle
  3. Count - the item count has two distinct meanings:
    • For stackable items (materials, Nook Miles Tickets, …) the count is the stack size minus one
      • This means that for a stack of 10 NMTs, you would set count to 9. For 1 item, you would set count to 0
      • If you try to set count higher than it can go for a certain item (e.g. 99 NMTs) then in-game you will only have 1
    • For non-stackable items with variations (furniture, clothing, …) the count is the index of the variations
      • NHSE may or may not tell you what variety corresponding to the count value
      • You can use either VillagerDB or the ACNH Data Spreadsheet to figure out which variation is which count value
  4. Uses - the number of times the item has been used
    • This field should only be used for breakable tools
  5. Flag0 - the first flag for the item
    • For the purposes of basic item editing, this should be left as 0
  6. Flag1 - the second flag for the item
    • For the purposes of basic item editing, this should be left as 0
    • This option may disappear after selecting an item name
  7. Wrapped - indicates whether or not the item is wrapped
    • This checkbox only appears after selecting certain items
  8. Wrapping Type - indicates how the item is wrapped (present, paper, or delivery)
    • This dropdown only appears after Wrapped is checked
    • The meaning of ‘delivery’ is not currently known
  9. Wrapping Color - indicates the color of the wrapping paper
    • This dropdown only appears if Wrapped is checked and Wrapping Type is set to ‘WrappingPaper’
  10. Show Item Name - presumably shows the item name before it is unwrapped
    • Needs confirmation/testing
    • This dropdown only appears if Wrapped is checked

Editing Your Inventory / Storage

To edit your Inventory, click the Edit Items button in the Players tab.

To edit your Storage, click the Edit Player… button in the Players tab, and then click Edit Storage.

Right-clicking an item slot in either your storage or inventory will give you three options:

  1. View - this will load the details of the item (name, count, etc.) into the item editor pane on the right#
  2. Set - this will set the item data for the item slot to the data in the item editor pane on the right#
  3. Delete - this will clear the item data for the item slot

There are also keyboard/mouse shortcuts so that you don’t have to right-click the item slots:

  1. View - Ctrl + click
  2. Set - Shift + click
  3. Delete - Alt + click
  4. Clone - Ctrl + Alt + click
    • Cloning will copy the item that you Ctrl + Alt + click into all item slots

Common Item Stack Amounts

Below are some common / desired items and their maximum in-game stack value. Remember, in NHSE, count should be the amount minus 1 - so if you want a full stack of Nook Miles Tickets, set the count to 9.
