Changing the date in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is tied to your system's settings. Just close the game, head to your Nintendo Switch System Settings > System > Date and Time, and turn off the option to synchronize clock via internet. Then, you can manually set the date and time to whatever you want. Once you've adjusted the date, start your game again, and you'll find that the in-game date matches your new system date. Super easy way to time travel!
Nah, just play the game as it is. Time traveling ruins the chill vibe. Enjoy the slow life, guys!
