I just started a new town on my second copy of NL and since it is January 1st, Isabelle is gonna be in the town plaza all day. Does that mean I am screwed out of everything you get from her by doing the tutorials with her?

I think you can do the tutorials the next day.

I believe the 'tutorial' is able to be done up until you get your developement permit.
 
I have a game mechanics question. I know the map is divided into acres which are 16 x 16 spaces. My question is where do the acres begin? By that I mean does the cliff on the non-ocean side of the map count as the first space of an acre or is the first space the one you can put stuff on? Also, does the row where the fence for the train tracks exists count as the first row of an acre or is that also decided by the first row of spaces you can put stuff on?

I'm pretty sure that the inaccessible area on the cliff and the train tracks do not count in the acres.

The tutorials are available the next day (AKA: today). I know because I'm doing the exact same thing XD.
 
I keep seeing from various sources that it is impossible for the newest villager in your town to move out. Can anyone confirm this? My 10th villager I got from an unlucky streetpass and I'm trying to get him to move. I've been tracking move-out requests since July (I want to keep the rest of my villagers) and he has not asked once while I've had several villagers ask 3 or 4 times.

Queenie moved into my town as a 9th villager last year and finally asked to move after several months, and she was my newest. But now that I have 10 villagers, I don't know if I'll ever be able to get him to move.

I don't think that's true, but the most effective way to get a villager to move is to speak to them once so your character is acquaintances with them but never to interact with them again. That means no hitting, no letter sending, no talking and whatever else you can think of that would fall into that category. Within a week, they should move out.

Does anyone know if there's a way to disable taking screenshots other than removing the SD card?

I tried that for about a month, but unfortunately he stuck around so I decided to befriend him. He's pinged me once so far for me to change his greeting, so at least there's that...

The more you want someone to leave, the longer they'll take to leave.

Love them. ADORE them. NEVER. WANT. THEM. TO. LEAVE.

They'll be out in a week.
 
Bushes can grow anytime of the year but depending on the season certain ones won't have their flowers bloom. Since it's winter right now only holly starts will bloom, you could for example plant a white azalea right now. It will grow, but the flowers will not bloom until spring.

Right now I'm trying to improve my camping area. I want to make a new character so I could leave there house as a tent. I want to put it where Paula's house is rn. Is there enough space to put a tent there?

Thanks for answering, coney! I just looked up how much space your house takes up and it apparently takes up a 3x5 space, regardless of whether it's currently a tent or a fully expanded house. I'll put the link to the site I got this information from here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/66480103

I then looked up how much room villager's houses take up and apparently their houses are 3x3. Here's the link to the site I got that information from: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/66568675

I'm not really an expert on this, but if you wanted to put it there you'd probably have to move it a couple of spaces to the side and a couple of spaces back, because I'm pretty sure you need at least one space free on every side, maybe even two. From the look of it your campsite is really close to Paula's house, and according to the first website I looked at you need a couple of spaces in front of your house that are free of PWPs, so if you tried to put a house there Nook would probably say it was too close. If there's room behind where Paula's house is to put it you might be able to do that, however, I don't think you'd be able to fit a tent in that exact spot. You could give it a try, or do more research; like I said, I'm not an expert. However, it looks like you might need to move it back or find somewhere else in your camping area.
 
How do you get 100,000,000 bells quickly.

People on this site will pay 20 million in game bells for 100 TBT (or maybe even more now, I haven't checked recently), so just post on a lot of threads to make TBT (kind of like what I'm doing now) and then sell it to people.

No. A house (or tent in this case) is a 4 x 5 PWP if you include the entrance space in front, and it has to be at least 2 spaces away either horizontally or vertically. I don't know what the surrounding area looks like, but you can't put a tent in that exact spot.
 
Is there any way to get a good screenshot of my map before getting the development permit?
 
I was wondering, is it possible to change the train station (or town hall) colour? Like, if I pick the zen train station, can I go back to the normal one and will it be possible to choose the colour, or it will go back to the one I had to begin with?

After remodelling, you can still choose your train station or town hall as a PWP. The color you chose will be replaced by the standard color you had.

I can confirm that I had this problem in my previous town. I had Agnes as a tenth villager from someone's void and no matter what I did or how much I TT'd, she never pinged to move (whereas all my other villagers were doing so). Finally I let another villager leave and the next one to ping me the next day was Agnes.

I know there are people who say they've been successful in making a tenth villager leave but I don't believe Agnes would ever have pinged me. On that same note, I have Molly as my tenth villager in my current town and she has never pinged me to move either even though she's constantly pinging me asking to change her catchphrase and such.

So yeah; it is possible that you'll be able to get your tenth villager to leave but know that there is also a risk that it won't work, no matter what you do.
