Hello BTF! It's been a while I recently bought ACNL for a friend because nobody in my town
plays it :< but getting him the game got me playing again myself

My town has been pretty awesome for a while, all the upgrades, lots and lots of PWPs, and nice villagers. But I've never had a perfect town for some reason.

I looked online to find out why, turns out I had too many trees (like 300 lol) so I cut down a bunch of trees so that I had less than 200 and I had a perfect town! It was great, but there's one problem...

I can't for the life of me get Jacob's Ladders to grow :< I've gotten the watering can, I've TTed and it's been 40 days total now (probably more) and not a single one has sprouted.

I have made space by cliffs and still nothing will grow, can someone tell me why? Is there any reason you can have a perfect town and still not grow them? My town also won't grow the perfect mushrooms either :<

Here's my Dream Suite code, maybe someone can figure this out:
4100-2750-2570

It's completely random, I'm afraid, for both Jacob's Ladders and the mushrooms. Some days I'll get a few in a row. Then go a month without. :c

How does the shopper badge works? What counts towards it and what doesn't? I'm asking because things bought from the catalogue doesn't seem to count Also only things bought in your town counts?

 

[Sillydraco]

There has to be something else, even random i should have gotten one by now...

From the wiki:

The Shopper badge is awarded to players who have spent a fair amount of Bells on items from shops on Main Street. Bells spent buying turnips from Joan, as well as any purchases for services from Nook's Homes, Re-Tail, Shampoodle, or the Fortune Shop do not count. Items ordered through the Nookling Stores' shopping kiosk also do not count.

What happens if you have all your plaza filled with stuff? Do the tents stop appearing (Redd and horoscope lady), do they overwrite the stuff that was in their place or do they just hide the stuff until the tent is gone?

I forgot, is it possible for your newest villager to ping you about moving?

yes, very rare, but yes.

 

[duckvely]

Is it possible for a villager to ping on another villager's birthday? Or, what should I do if the one who's supposed to ping is the one who has the birthday? It's been 5 days since the last ping and I'm scared to TT if it actually is that situation.

If your plaza is full of items, tents will continue to appear, and when a tent appears, it will remove the items that occupy it's space. Those items are permanently gone, unless you have the police station - most if not all items displaced by a tent will show up in your station lost-and-found the following day.

It's good to be cautious about items in the plaza - it's easy to accidentally lose something crushed under a tent.

How come someone with their inventory open causes "choppy waters" at Club Tortimer?

I have a question about where villigers set up their houses:
I set up a few temporary public works projects in my town, but there are still empty areas where villigars can move into. I have a specific area i want a particular villager to move into so i put public works projects around the area hoping that their house might go there, i've resetted a lot of times but their house plot only goes into the few empty areas and not the area i want.

this is a picture of how i put my temporary pwps around that area:

the red box is where i'd like her house to go, the one beside it already exists, and the two with hearts are temporary pwps.
Is it possible for a villager to move into this spot?
I thought maybe since the house might block the pwp in the back thats why the villager isn't moving there? idk
i'm not sure if i should give up on this area or not ; u;

I'm trying to catch a fly for the museum and even though I have a tire and a can laying on the ground no flies are generating around it....anyone know why?

Not sure why not, but it's easier to just use a spoiled turnip.

It certainly looks possible, giving the spacing. Villager plot resetting can take hours (or days, depending on the amount of space you have versus where you want that villager to go).

It might be worth noting for future reference that the buffer zone on houses extends in the front, and isn't perfectly square. So below that last line of five (with the doorway), there's another line of three. Here's a link because my explanation sucks. xD

I'm wanting to trade a moving villager of mine for another, but I already have 10 of them in my town. Would I be able to do this if I just TT forward a day after letting the other person talk to mine first?

 

[Dry-ice-bat]

do i TT one day at a time, or 2 days forward, 1 day back?

Wow, i didn't realize there was an extra three square buffer infront of houses ; u; thank you~
i ended up giving up with this placement, but since its possible, i'll try to eliminate more of those areas that houses keep spawning in > <

TT 1 day at a time and talk to two villagers each day 10~15 times to see if anyone is thinking about moving.
theres a guide about it here
