I used to worry about losing progress after a long session of decorating my island and befriending villagers. But then I found out you can save anytime in Animal Crossing by pressing the '-' button. It's a lifesaver, especially when you've just caught a rare fish or finished setting up a cute picnic area!
Hot take: The real question is, why would you ever want to stop playing Animal Crossing to save? Just leave it on 24/7. But seriously, you can save anytime by hitting the '-' button.
