After adopting some villagers from this forum in my new town, they kept saying "I always hum this song to myself at night, it's the town tune of my old town." or something like that. I really dislike them doing that, I like to think they've lived in my town their whole life and I want them to forget about their old towns. Is there any way to stop them from saying that and/or does it stop eventually? They only live for a few weeks in my town, but I'd like to know if they stop saying that and if so when.

 

[Ras]

They never stop. I'm approaching a year of Phoebe moving into my town and she still sings her old town tune. You can stop them from showing letters from their old mayor by talking to Isabelle, but you can't make them seem like natives of your town.

 

[P.K.]

Here is a random question. What is the gyroid that says "Waaaah!"? I would like to search for it, but I don't know what it's called.

I'm not 100% sure but it might be the gargloids.

I'm currently plot resetting for Genji and I'm kind've worried if the plot where I want him to be might be impossible.
I plan on putting him below Chrissy's house and next to Tammy's.

CCC
CCC
CCC
XXX
XXX
XXX
GGGXXTTT
GGGXXTTT
GGGXXTTT

C = Chrissy's house
X = Land
G = Genji's-supposedly-house-plot
T = Tammy

I know that Tammy and Genji is possible but I'm worried regarding the alignment with him and Chrissy.

Houses are only 3x3 physically, but require a space of 6x5 because of the entrance. Like so:

XXXXX
X000X
X000X
X000X
XXEXX
..XXX

Where X is the buffer zone, 0 is the actual house placement, and E is that entrance space where you can't place a path, etc.

In short, yes, villagers can be no less than 3 spaces vertically from each other. 2 for the front of the top house and 1 for the back of the bottom house. Genji should be able to move there. c:

When we pass out houses to other people via street pass, what HHA score is given? The highest or current one?

For the last 3 weeks I've noticed that my villagers no longer send me spontaneous letters, and when my birthday rolled around, no one threw me a party. I've tried calling out to them with my megaphone and they all wave or bow in response so I know I have high friendships with them. My town is roughly a year old, so do they just stop doing that at some point? Granted I do time travel, but never more than one day at a time, and I always make sure to talk to everyone each day and complete favors that I've agreed to do.

I would assume the current one.

Not sure about the lack of spontaneous letters (might just be random), but I'm pretty sure you can only celebrate your birthday once per year, even if you leave the date and TT back to it. So if you've already played your birthday this year, you won't get another party until next year. (Friendship levels shouldn't affect whether you get a party, because all of my alt characters got birthday parties last year despite never talking to or interacting with my villagers -- they just got crap presents instead of the birthday themed ones lol.)

I'm trying to collect carp for the next fishing tourney. I understand that I need "bigger than average" fish to get the jellyfish lamps I want. Exactly how much bigger than the average size do the fish need to be to get a fish set item? I'm surprised there is no list of this stuff on any wikis or forums. I only found the average sizes.

Well, I suppose they'd have to be bigger than their average sizes? :3

Yes, my question is how much bigger? Don't they have size ranges that put them into "average size", "bigger than average", etc? I could have sworn I gave Chip fish only about an inch or two bigger than their average size last time and he gave me non-fish items.

Chip will give you an item whenever you break your personal record. In other words, if you give Chip a fish, then give him a larger fish, he will give you an item in exchange for the larger fish. Keep giving him larger and larger fish to get more items. If you're collecting fish in advance, be sure to record the size as you catch them so you can always earn an item when you exchange your fish. You're not always guaranteed an item from the Fish Set. Chip can give out random items as well.

He only gives out fish items when you break the record with a "bigger than average" fish. I'm just not sure what qualifies as bigger than average.

Is there any way to ensure trees will grow on the island if it's not raining? I've been waiting for a rainy day to cut down and relocate some trees so that I can farm beetles more easily but I don't want to risk them all wilting and having to replant and replant until they all decide to grow (hope this makes sense)

Besides buying candy buying masks, is there anything else I need to do to prepare for Halloween?

Get some clothes you aren't afraid to get rid of. That's it really. Designs work as well.

I don't know where you got this information, but I can promise it isn't true. I've gotten several items from the Fish Set simply by providing a larger fish than the previous record for the day. Obviously this is easier in tourneys with no specific fish requirement.

You don't need to water trees for them to grow... Waiting has been wasting your time.

What does visiting Katrina actually do? I'm not really sure. xD

If you have a tent in the plaza, it's plus one until you get the PWP suggested. You get your daily fortune for your horoscope sign told in a sort of a cryptic manner-ish type thing...? Just use the lovely phone since that's free and you can get that exact same fortune and you don't have to wait for her to show up either.

I actually have her in my main shopping district actually. I didn't know that about the phone, but does she give me exclusive items? I bought a hat from her today that was pretty pricey.
