Ask AC:NL Questions here! (Please read before posting here or making a new thread!)

Can you make a second file with a downloaded game without ruining the first? Some sources say you can, but I'd rather ask somebody to make sure.
 
Still hoping someone can tell me why my mannequin in my house is losing a pattern when I'm not overwriting the pattern. Please? It gets irritating to realise 'Sherlock' is running around the flat naked again (not that this violates canon in the slightest).

I'm laughing so much right now.

Seriously though - stupid question to answer your question but, have you tried storing the clothing at the Able Sisters, then putting it on your mannequin? Mine has kept the pattern on mine and I've done this so, it may be related.
 
has anyone figured out a better way to get more pwps than the diving trick?

i'm doing everything right -- shells in pockets, keeping up friendships with the villagers - but it still takes FOREVER to get a pwp request out of them! ugh. any and all help welcome.

I've found playing for a long time (over an hour) and occasional restarting to help. Once the villagers have exhausted their catchphrase/nickname change requests, one of them will think of suggesting something. I've gotten one almost every day recently, usually after a restart and I've talked to the villagers near my home, then one farther away pings me. You should also check if a certain type of villager has requested most of their respective PWPs, like you have most of the Zen pwps a Cranky villager would request, and it would be better to avoid them.


I have some questions of my own. I've been turning my 3DS clock back to winter 2014 to not miss out any day and avoid having one of my favorite villagers move out. I want to time travel towards early 2015 now, but I only want to lose a certain villager the others told me plans to move out soon. My questions are:

-If I change the date to a year later, would that villager that plans to move out be the only one that does, or would another one leave too?
-If other villagers would leave along that one, would the 2 that planned to move before it be less likely to leave?
-Would I be able to do the 2nd player trick to decide who moves in afterwards the next time I play or would that house already be built?

as a person who has lost villagers after going forward for months, it has only been one at a time.
not sure about the plot/villager(?) resetting thing, unfortunately. I've never had a plot show up on the same day I started up the game after time traveling and having someone leave. but that might be only me. I don't think you can end up with an already built house, though.

Ok, thanks for the answer. Seems like I don't have to worry much then, aside my sea of random flowers expanding. I'll try it now and see if it works out.
 
Hi i have a quick question about the ABD furniture piece you get from the bank as a gift, (i haven't deposited enough money to get it yet) but I was wondering does this furniture piece allow you to access your bank from your home? Or does it have no actual function? Can you place the ABD in your town and have it work or no? :)

Yep, it functions exactly like the ABD in the Post Office. :)
 
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to get your villagers to never move out.

I'm afraid the only way to keep your villagers from moving is to talk to them regularly so that they'll ping you to tell you they're moving. Or, so that one of your other villagers tells you who is thinking about moving. Then you try to get them to ping you so that you can convince them to stay.

If you don't talk to them regularly, then it's possible that they won't ping you (so you won't find out if they're moving) and you'll have to keep reloading until they eventually do.

There's not really an easier way to it unfortunately.

We are in Buckingham Palace, the very heart of the British Nation. For god's sake, put your trousers on!

I have not! I'll give it a shot, and I hope it works. Thanks!
 
What's the rules for asking unanswered questions? :p

I'm still wondering if I can make a second town using a different SD card or not...
 
So despite playing Animal Crossing forever, there are still some simple things I don't know. There are some extremely complicated Dream Towns I've visited and I was wondering if those people hack the game to get things in the river and stuff like that. Also, I was thinking about creating paths on my town but I only have a few slots. Do people sacrifice pattern slots to have paths for their town?

Probably hacking for stuff in the river. As far as I know you can't put anything there normally. For paths, most people--myself included-- use extra characters for pattern mules. Kind of annoying to unlock the QR machine for all of them, but it's better than sacrificing my clothes and refurbishing patterns.

Oh, actually that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
 
Okay okay so Avery said that Marcie was thinking about moving and I went over to her and I talked to her as she was turned around. When I walked in front of her she didn't ping. And I talked to her a few time after that and she didn't mention moving. Did I **** everything up?

Just save and quit and reload your game and find her. She should ping you.
 
I haven't played animal crossing for real in awhile so I forgot how to plot reset xD. Can someone tell me how?
