AC:NL Information Thread (beware of spoilers!)

You guys thought that grass erosion isn't there this time around? Well, I'm going to prove you wrong!

I'd like to point that grass erosion is (sort of) back. The "dump" I removed actually left the patch of dirt intact. I've yet to see visible grass wears due of walking on the same area every time I boot the game up.

That's a dump? D:
That's the "garden area" I have been using for my hybrids. xD;;;
 
I run through the grass on New Leaf all the time, the grass is fine. Don't be too worried ;)
But still... the fact that the dirt paths happens at all sort of points that it might be possible :( Just a lot slower (thankfully).
Remember, in WW when a villager moved, there was no dirt path left at all. So if there was no erosion from walking.. wouldn't they make it like that? Oh well, I guess we'll wait and see :p

I think I remember seeing you post that you've never played Population: Growing, correct?
In that version, there was a dump instead of a recycling bin, and the "garden area" you've been using looks similar to said dump

But I guess as long as the flowers stay then you can use it as whatever you like :p
 
I plan on using the fence as a garden too. I don't want to drop garbage in my town and lower it's rating..
 
i couldnt help but notice that the first Page posted by the OP mentions

"Shops can still be entered when they're being upgraded"

I'm not so sure of that. When Nooks store has upgraded (and it has twice for me) a blue metal box covers the entire store and you must wait a day for the upgrade to be completed.

EDIT: Ill get/find a picture soon
 
Sorry if this has been answered already, but how do you plant bushes? Do you just buy them from the gardening shop and plant them like flowers?
 
I'm just wondering, can we remove the existing bridge?

I'm thinking of having both wooden-type bridge..and feels like removing the current one >.<
Yes you can remove bridges

If you go check out the ACC they have a whole thread on animal tracks and debating it, I actually haven't made my mind up if it's in the game or not

I kinda expected there to be erosion, its been on ACCF, why not NL

exactly. Also that guy who did the livestream ran crazy around his town and TT'd for like a month or more, and it didn't seem like his grass was too damaged, if it is back its definitely slowed down

Yeah I wasn't too sure on this either but it seemed from what I had seen some shops had allowed it but w/e i'll remove it

you buy them from the garden shop (after upgrade?) and you also get them from the island (hibiscus ones)
 
Hey, it's been shown in many trailers you could change the time a shop opens or closes, but is it relative to what law you chose ? Can I open a shop later only if I chose late-night town, or is it always possible, even if I choose beautiful town ?

It depends what law you choose, but you can change your law for 20,000 bells if you want to switch between a few.
 
Didn't I hear about a lawn mower item that can remove grass? My guess is that grass wear is brought on by either a lawn mower, or a building being removed and leaving a spot, and that grass doesn't grow back on its own, instead you would use a grass seed.

That would be ideal, let's you choose how you want your town to look. I personally like the random dirt patches here and there, but hate the paths.

The lawnmower was thought to be something you get on Grass Day, that is not true. There is no lawnmower in the game except if there is still the furniture item from the backyard theme.
I know ACC was talking about it like it existed for a while, not sure if they still are.
Superpenguin, so if I choose Beautiful town, I can't get shops to open later, then ?
You could, but you'd have to change the law to never sleeps.
 
That's disappointing. I just want it to be like Gamecube again with the random, permanent patches of dirt.
 
I agree with everyone who said that the towns feel too small.. I've been having trouble deciding on good places to put my projects :(

Not sure if anyone has talked about this already, but I found a bag in my town with a bear head on it. I was able to ask my villagers if it belonged to them, and Monique gave me a coconut for returning it to her.

Yes, the only other Ac game I've played is WW.
It's been a few days and the flowers in the "dump" have been fine. ^^ If there was some other way I could put fences around my flowers to protect them, I would use that instead.
 
Does anyone know if you can rotate the community projects? Like for example, make a bench face another direction.

I don't think planted flowers would be affected, it would probably have to be something actually dropped on the ground, if you really want to find out if it is a dump, just drop a seashell in it and wait a few days.
 
I'm gonna build one of those dumps. I just got trash all over my town because of the lack of recycling bin.
