I made an account just to ask a few questions that I haven't seen brought up anywhere else:

1. Is the DLC content down for everyone? I keep getting an error code saying the server is down over the past five days.

2. Has there been any announcements on the end of DLC for New Leaf or that they are taking down the servers? If so I haven't seen it. The last DLC was suppose to end on June 20th, and then almost always a new gift is available relatively after. So far there has been nothing.

I noticed that the other day as well. I haven't seen any notices saying they were discontinuing the DLC. They've been releasing Nintendo Zone items on a regular basis for a quite a while now, so it seems weird that they've stopped all of a sudden (and that you get an error when trying to connect, and not just Pelly saying there's no new items).

Get Lolly to ping you to move out (if you are looking for ways to get her to ping quickly, you should look at one of the cycling guides here) and accept her request to move out. Then TT to the date she says she is moving out and have your sister visit your town and talk to Lolly to have her move in to her town. Once you have your new town, wait for Lolly to ping your sister to move and then visit her on the day she says she is moving out to get her to move in to your new town.

What's the amount of items you can order from the catalog/Nooks without it saying that the post office has reached its capacity of letters (I don't remember the exact message)?
For those who don't know what I'm saying, when you order __ (?) amount of items from the catalog then it shows you the message mentioned above so then you have to either wait for some letters to come or TT until you can order more.

Sorry I was unable to answer the previous question; hope it gets answered soon!~

However, I myself was wondering if I could successfully breed for hybrids on the beach, as well as use fertilizer? Or do I get better results on land?

I'm honestly not sure if there is a limit in New Leaf? I've ordered 10+ items before and never gotten the message. I know in the older games, it capped you at 10.

Yep! You can use fertilizer & breed hybrids on the beach. I don't think the results differ between land & beach. I know many people have their hybrid farms on the beach.

I'm not sure what the exact limit is, but I once ordered 55 items for someone and didn't have any problems.

What are the effects of not playing in the flowers? Do they witter and die? Or only witter? (without the beauty thing)

Also what are the effects on flowers when you TT?

I remember once I had ordered about 100 items and that's when I first got the message. I think it comes around 60-80 items ordered (?) but I wasn't sure what the exact number was so I posted here.

I'm cycling. I'm TTing to get Coco into boxes, every time I load up a save, a villager pings me, but not about moving. I save and quit, select my mayor, then the same thing happens again. Should I skip ahead and go back?

 

[BobFangTabby]

Okay. I just started a new town not too long ago and know I wonder if I should time travel and go for the dream village or play in real time. My previous files included a lot of time traveling for bells and villager cycling. Does the game get boring once you achieve your perfect village/villagers/house?

I mean, given that it can take a long time to manage that even with TT and access to the forums... The best answer to that is that it depends on the person. Even with my Baker as close to perfect as it can be, I still have things I want to accomplish in it, for example, such as the creation of a crime scene/murder mystery with my villagers for dream visitors. There's always going to be goals and milestones and activities you can set for yourself, TT or no.

It's really up to you. Do you want to bask in the journey of getting to perfection? Or do you want to make technical perfection only a small part of the things you want to do with your town, and therefore less major?

Question of my own: Can I make bulletin announcements that will be visible to dream visitors, or is the only bulletin in dreams the one that displays town name and DA?

 

[erikaeliseh]

what requirements do you have to meet before gracie will start appearing in your plaza?

Only the town name and dream address will be displayed on the bulletin board.

Upgrade to T.I.Y. and spend 70k. After that she'll start appearing at your plaza at random.

Also what are the effects on flowers when you TT?

Still wondering about this

 

[P.K.]

Still wondering about this

Do you mean running around in the flowers? If you trample them, you're going to simply end up destroying them.
Also if you plant flowers on deteriorated grass and water them, it can help the grass regrow faster. If you don't water your flowers, they'll eventually whither and die.

With TT-ing, it depends on if you have the Beautiful Town Ordinance enacted. If you do, nothing will happen and all your flowers will be there. If you don't, some of your flowers will be withered and some of them will have already died.

 

[JeffreyAC]

some of your flowers will be withered and some of them will have already died.

That was what I was wondering, thanks

Do I have to wait until the next day to begin my developers permit? The gate is closed and Isabelle keeps saying that I should rest or something. ;-;

Yep, you have to wait until the second day to start working towards your development permit.
