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.

Yes, she does give some exclusive items. They're reorderable though.

Ah I see, thanks a bunch!

Is there any limit to how much trees, bushes and flowers you can plant in your town?

I've heard of trees (and bushes??) wilting even when it's planted in a spot where it's possible to grow, but I'm guessing that's because there were too many trees growing (aka not fully grown yet) I've only seen people mention a limit with perfect trees, so I'd like to know if there's a limit with other plants before I hoard too many bushes and saplings...

There's no limit that I know of, besides however many can actually fit of course. (I don't think there's a perfect fruit tree limit either?)

Sometimes trees/bushes can die if too many are planted at once in the same area, or where they're too closely surrounded by other plants, but you can almost always get around this by planting them one row at a time (like from left to right or top to bottom -- this gives them room to breathe as they grow). Oh and you can't have more than 12 bushes/trees connected in a chain (think this rule's common knowledge, but just in case). Flowers of course have no arbitrary planting rules so you can stuff your town to the brim with em if you want.

I just want to confirm with others that this is right before I try...
I did some time travel to get a villager out to make room for another, and now I want to travel back to present time. If I get pinged by someone to move now and tell them not to, then I'm totally safe to go back in time any amount of days without anyone moving, right?
I only went forward about two weeks.

Yes -- although you only really have to do this if you're TTing forward, as TTing backwards any amount of time (except within the same day) only counts as one day passing. So unless someone happens to be moving tomorrow, you'll be fine.

Oh, okay, thanks. I'm going for it, then...

I didn't know about the 12 chain rule actually, thanks for including that! So as long as you give it room to grow, it'll be alright? I wanted to make a forest and a fence made out of trees but I guess I have to be careful about the placement more... Thank you for answering

 

[Cuppycakez]

Wow! This is a really helpful fun thread! I would sit here reading all these but with 310+ pages I think it would take to long.
Good work though!

This is my favorite bush/tree guide. My town is still underdeveloped, but when helping friends landscape, this is what we used. It has yet to steer us wrong. c:

I recently re-started one of my towns and now that I've got my 100% approval rating I'm using the diving trick to try to get some pwp suggestions, but it doesn't seem to be working---no characters are pinging me. I know I'm doing it correctly because I used the diving trick to get most of my pwp's in my old town, so I'm wondering if anyone could think of another reason why it isn't working? o:​

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

I know you don't ALWAYS need to water them but I've had trees wilt on the island before and it was really annoying :/

You're welcome and yep! The guide Ettienne linked on the last page is great (I have it bookmarked as well) if you're ever confused/need clarification. Good luck

Your friendship probably isn't high enough yet. The higher your friendship, the more likely they are to suggest PWPs (and ping you in general)

I know you don't ALWAYS need to water them but I've had trees wilt on the island before and it was really annoying :/

Watering has no effect on trees, if they're wilting then you must be doing something wrong. Remember that palm tree fruits (bananas and coconuts) can only be planted on the beach, and the rest can only be planted on the grass.

I keep seeing people on Tumblr showimg who is camping and if anyone want to adopt them, but I thought other people couldnt adppt campers

Either the people are unaware of this fact, or they plan on inviting the camper to their town then TTing them out, and are just seeing if the villager generates any interest.

 

[ribbyn]

This is probably a silly question ahaha. I took a small hiatus while in the middle of plot resetting, came back to it today and finished the plot reset so now I have the plot in the game. The date is also several weeks in the future but I'd like to set time to current and participate in Halloween. I know TTing backwards just couts as one day no matter what, so I was just wondering if I TT-d back on a day I have a plot in town, would it result in the villager unpacking or would the villager already be finished moving in after I TT backwards?

 

[Ras]

If the ropes are down when you TT back, they'll be inside in boxes. You could go back an extra day (they'll be in boxes) and then TT forward to today (they'll be out and about), but just be careful and aware that someone may then be thinking about moving. If you walk around your village before 6pm, they should be able to ping you like normal if they are thinking of moving.

I have a question regarding ignoring a villager in order to make it move out. I have been ignoring one of my villagers for a while now and due to Halloween I was forced to talk to him (when he was outside) Would this cause that I have to start the ignoring all over again? Or doesn't it count? Afterwards, because I thought I already screwed up, I scared him in his house. This probably leads to a loss anyways, right? Just want to make sure..

Pretty sure any convo will count.
You could always go on another character, introduce yourself once and then ignore them for the same period of time if you want to try again

I reset my town on the 18th of October and things were going well as expected villagers moved in (All in all I got Fauna, Julian, Francine, Gabi, Scoot, Phoebe, Angus, Tipper and Nate) and that was the end. All I have is 9 villagers and it's been like that for two weeks. I've got a 100% rating, today I just finished signing the petition for club LOL, Blathers suggest an upgrade in the museum and T&T has undergone it's first upgrade. I've TT'ed but no more than a day or two and it's just the Mayor at the moment. Am I doing something wrong or do I just have to wait a bit more?
