Why Gracie never visits my town? I have T.I.Y. and want to upgrade. Where will she be if she actually visits?

your town plaza. her visits are completely random, and some people tend to have trouble getting her to show up.
 
Aww :/ well thanks anyways, guess I've just been unlucky with her.

I wanted to add this: you also need to spend a fair amount in the T.I.Y. store if you want her to show up. I do not know the exact numbers anymore but i remember it being a lot.

Its 70k bells spent for her first visit. After your 4th check you need to have spent at least 100k at TIY for the upgrade :~).
 
I seem to have more luck with her showing up after spending a lot extra in the T.I.Y. Like I get her first visit and then she doesn't show for ages, until I nearly empty the store a couple of days and she shows up again. It could be just my luck though and nothing concrete.
 
Can bushes be planted next to public work projects or will they wilt?
 
They will wilt if i remember correctly. Has been a while since i last played the game though.

Yupp, they do wilt unfortunately. They'll also wilt if planted directly next to buildings or directly alongside the cliff, rivers, ponds, and the north fence.
 
Hope someone can help me with this! Thanks in advance! <3

1) I was wondering what fruit villagers ask for. Mine tend to ask for fruit in general, an apple (which is my native fruit) or - if it's not an apple - most of the time a peach. I always make sure to give them a perfect version of whatever fruit they ask for.

My question now is; will villagers ask for fruit such as a durian, or a banana, and so on? I honestly can't remember if mine ever have and I'm being curious whether that is normal or just a coincidence.

2) I've read that if you put something (a flower, or a pattern, or...) where a time capsule has been buried, that the capsule will disappear. But does it disappear forever or would it show up somewhere else on the day the villager asks you to get it for them? And also; would it ever show up in the police station?

Thanks in advance for the answers! <3
 
Got another question! ^_^

Which PWP's are animated (as in they somehow "move", I'm not talking about any of the lamps)? I think the following are, but am I missing any?

Fountain
Cube Sculpture
Fire Pit
Statue Fountain
Torch
Video Screen
Windmill
Wind Turbine
Lighthouse
Geyser

I know you can interact with the Water Pump and Instrument Shelter but I don't really consider those "animated". ^_^

Mine have never asked for those too, so I'm guessing nope.

The capsules always disappear until it's time to dig them back up, anyway; but yeah if you put something on top of the spot it'll move to the nearest available spot. I imagine it could show up in the police station if there was no space for it to move to, although I don't know if there's a limit to how far it'll move or if you'd have to cover literally every square in town lol

The drilling rig moves iirc? The lights on the tower scroll and change color. The zen, fairytale, and modern clocks all have something pop out/light up on the top of the hour, if you'd include those.

My T.I.Y. just closed to expand, how long does it take to reopen?
1-2 days? That was a while ago for me but I'd be surprised if it were longer than that.

Thank you for answering! Do you think a capsule would show up on the beach if there is no space in my town?

Ah, OK! Thanks, that helps a lot! <3

No problem! And possibly! You can always just bury it on the beach in the first place if you're worried about that.

Also forgot the lights on the illuminated projects (tree, heart, clock) dance around, and I'd also imagine the lights on the traffic signal change, although I've never seen it in a town.

They can indeed ask for other fruits that isn't growing in your town. In my first town they did that and also mentioned 'This doesn't grow here in town, but I hope you can find one anyway'. About Durians and Bananas in particular I don't know. I think it's mostly the most common; apple, cherry, peach, orange, pears that they ask for.
