How to Change the Island Representative in Animal Crossing
Ah, the age-old question every Animal Crossing player eventually asks! Unfortunately, you can't change the island representative in Animal Crossing: New Horizons without starting your island from scratch. The island rep is the first player who started the game, so unless you're ready for a complete do-over, you're stuck with your original choice. It's one of those 'choose wisely' moments we all didn't pay enough attention to.

Nope, you can't change it. You gotta reset your game if you wanna switch who's in charge. Tough cookies, but that's how it goes.
Actually, I tried everything to switch my island rep because my brother chose a ridiculous name at the start. Long story short, I learned the hard way that it's impossible without deleting our island and all the progress. So yeah, make sure the person you pick first is someone you trust!
