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

I want to travel back to January of this year (I only started playing NL this summer, so I want to experience what I've missed). If I do this, will anything go wrong? Gladys is moving out tomorrow, so that means when I go back she'll be gone, right? Should I travel back via my DS clock, or will it be okay if I just change the in-game clock?

Please excuse the silly questions! So far all my TT experience has just been going back a few hours in the same day, and I need some reassurance that I'm not about to turn my town into a big disaster... >_>;

travelling back only counts as a day :) so gladys will be gone when you tt back yeah. you can use either, if you have another copy of acnl though it's probably better just to use the in game clock as to not mess up the time for any other games you have. just make sure you're not tt'ing forward to january (of next year) as that will have bad consequences.

Thank you! That's good to hear. I've got another game which uses real time so I'll leave my DS clock alone and just change it in-game then. ^^
 
Ok. This has probably been answered, & I did read the first page. (So many questions to go through T*T)

I really don't know anyone who plays the game in real life. I need a few things like pears and peaches, ect...
I do know that if you add someone on their DS, they have to add you back to go to their town and be currently playing the game, right? Oh, and have their gate open.

Is this right or is there an easier way to do this? The game is getting kinda boring without being able to go to other towns!

Yup, you are right, but you can also add each other to your best friends lists and by doing so, you can chat with each other even when you are not in the same town! As long as you are both connected to the internet you can chat. You have to be in the same town if you want to add each other to the best friends list though.

I completed my museum in my main town a while ago, so where is my museum model? I have read that it randomly shops up in the museum gift shop. Is this true?

Yes it will show up in the museum shop, but it is random, and since there?so many items being sold, it might take a while to show up.
 
I have a question, okay. You know when jack the czar of Halloween comes around to ask someone if they would like to be a loyal subject? Well what happens if you say no? Does he make you anyways? I want to find out before I make a decision!

Yup, he makes you do it anyway! I told him no when I time traveled past October, and he just laughed and made me go along with him anyway haha.
 
Can you give fortune slips to other players? (after you eat them and before you exchange them)
 
This is my first time playing animal crossings I'm enjoying it

Is there a list anywhere if the animals and their personalities?

This page has all the personalities, then the pages for the personalities show all the villagers, with pictures, of that personality.

This page lists all the villagers and has some basic information.

Also, there's this page, which isn't by personality but by species, which looks pretty nice in my opinion.

If you just google "acnl villagers", you can basically find lists like these pretty easily. ^^
 
So kid cat moved out 2 days ago and I haven't played online or streetpassed anyone in the meantime, does that mean he's still in my void, so the next person who contacts me can get him? I'm asking because I want to bring a new villager in from the trading board so I can plot reset, but I'm afraid not having a clear void may cause issues.
 
Never mind, ended up TT'ing back, so I found out the answer myself.

If you've played with someone locally, then your void has been cleared (since you didn't say anything about that).

Otherwise, yes, he is in your void, and the next person you connect him will probably get him, especially if they have a villager moving out on that day. Maybe ask if they have a second town where you can void him, or try on the Train Station forums to see if you can void him there.
 
Do you personally situate new shops in your town or are they randomly placed?
All shops are in fixed places. The only facilities you get to place are the Police Station and the Reset Center.

Can't you place the campsite and cafe where you want as well?

Also, what is the 'bright nights festival' that was mentioned? I've never heard of it.

Thank you,

Yes, you can place those two structures where you want.

Bright Lights Festival was a holiday in ACWW. Truth be told, I had never heard of it before either, but I found an article on it if you want more information.
