I'm a bit behind (time-wise) in my game, but I have a couple of questions about the Harvest Festival. Is there a way to get non-native fruit that you don't have yet? Is that included among the ingredients that the villagers can give you? When you give villagers any fish, can they use that as furniture like when you give them fish on a normal day?

if villagers can give you fish/beehives/ingredients, im sure you can get non-native fruits as well. and no. why would they decorate their house with a fish theyre going to cook and eat. youll be fine.

This should show up as:

Alternatively, you could say [spoiler=Title]text[/spoiler] and it will modify the text that's on the spoiler tag, and it will turn into this:

My villagers have mentioned visitors, even though I rarely have visitors and when I do, I always escort them to and from the station or flip the switch. Yesterday, one of my villagers even started talking about someone visiting and cutting down trees. I checked and didn't see any trees that were cut down. I know they do that if they interact with people in dreams but I don't have a dream address. It's always names that I don't know. My gates have been closed and for two days I had the wifi switched off because I forgot to flip the switch back on.

I've only gotten this sort of dialogue from villagers that I adopted from other towns. Could they be talking about visitors to their old town? Is that even possible?

Adopted villagers can talk about their old town and mayor. "Back in Whoville, I had a neighbor called CindyLou. She was a real stump-maker."

Does that apply to visitors too? They're not talking about other residents, they're talking about visitors (and even ask me if I'm going to invite my friends over again).

How do people have several sets of Japanese DLC? Do they just buy them from Japanese players? I want to buy some but I also need to know if they're real.

It's very possible that they duplicated their items and just keep mum about it since duping is generally frowned upon, or they could have traded with all sorts of other players over time, have generous friends with connections, have their own Japanese copy to trade with, etc. But, as far as I know, there's no way to tell the difference between a "legit" item or one that's been duplicated.

How approachable are mods here? Are they open to being PMed for questions? Haha.

Probably. You should use the threads in the HQ though.

Can you catch the beetles on the island even if they are out if season?
My last insect to catch is the Giant Beetle, but I don't want to TT just to get it.

I'm pretty sure that island insects stay year round, but I may be wrong. :L

The island is always in summer season, right?

Yes, it's always July or something in the island. I think the bugs and fish you can catch there are always the same year-round or at least the differences are very minor.

Thanks guys! I realized I needed to replant some trees to catch it. ^^

Another question:
My last fish is an Angelfish, what size shadow does it have? Is it tiny like a goldfish? I've been fishing an hour in September with no luck.

I have a question that's been bugging me for quite some time now. This is for the people who have a physical copy of the game (you know, the game cartridge) has anyone taken it out of their 3DS and put it into a different 3DS system?

I usually play the game on my 3DS XL, but I also have a regular 3DS. I sometimes want to play on the regular 3DS but I'm worried that if I switch game consoles, a villager will move out (worst fear) or something will get messed up in my town due to the switch. I hope that as long as the dates and times match in both 3DS systems nothing will go wrong...but I also don't want to take the chance since I worked so hard on my town.

So does anyone have experience with this? I really want to know if switching consoles will affect your game in any way.

Nothing happens if you switch consoles. I was worried about the SD card, but I was able to switch consoles today with no issues; didn't lose any villagers, no corrupt data, etc.

I'm pretty sure that nothing happens if you switch consoles if you have the same time and date set on both of them. The worst that could happen is that your town tree would be reset, but I don't think that's based only on your 3DS log but also on the game's internal log. Otherwise, people whose 3DS broke would have their trees reset and more importantly, people with multiple copies of the game would have bigger town trees in new towns. I've never heard of those things. Even if it happened, using that logic then you should get your town tree restored whenever you played on your original 3DS.
