Quick question about money trees.

I've planted 10k in various parts of my town to grow trees (not necessarily money). None of them turned into sprouts or anything. Does this mean they wont grow? or do I need to wait longer?
 
The money trees have a certain percentage of growing depending on how many bells you have planted. Since you planted only 10k, you'll only have a 10% chance of having a tree growing, however if you plant 99k bells, then i think you will have a 99% chance of growing a money tree. I would suggest planting 60k. I've had lots of luck with that amount. Hope this helps. :)

Okie. So if they're still stars at this point, they're not going to grow?
 
i have a quick time traveling question. so one of my villagers is moving out, but i want for them to move out as soon as possible. if i time traveled forward on the day they move out and back, will the day i time travel back to the present count as a new day or not?
 
Set the time to 5:55am and then 5 minutes later load a new character. If it looks bad on the map, exit out of ACNL without saving and load your main character, time travelling anytime before 6am and talk to Isabelle. You can then cancel the pwp before it is built. However all money that has gone to PWP will be forfeited. Hope this helps.

Ah, that makes sense. I just found out that when the time goes from 5:59 to 6:00, the game saves automatically and 'resets' you into your home.

Edit: You can't demolish a fully paid PWP, so that doesn't work.

yes. it will only count as one day though, no matter how many days you tt'd backwards.




edit: nvm I tested it and answered my own question. but .. another one I have

plot resetting for Marshal. 2nd day. recently I started using my system clock to go forward 5 days (since midge is moving out and now her plot is empty). if marshal could just move into her spot it would be perfect. but he won't.
villagers can plot at previous villagers locations right ?
why is he being so stubborn >.<

Unless you changed something about the surrounding, he should be able to move into the same spot.

I've read in another thread that if you place your items on the ground, the villager is less likely to build there because it would delete those items. I haven't tested it myself, but it does make sense.

yeah that was me who posted it xD haha seems I jinxed myself because I put 100's in bells literally everywhere. I think about 70k worth of bells around my entire town and he's still
plotting right over them.

I did add a light post but not after she moved. it's been there a while and even so I don't think it's preventing him from moving there. just really, really really bad luck.

Oh, what a coincidence. xD Then I guess it doesn't work that well? I think I had to plot reset two days to get Biskit in the right place once. You're only trying to get him into one specific spot, right? Can't you find other possibilities and try that spot with another villager?
 
it worked so well for about 4/5 of my villagers, now it's not :( I don't know why.

and originally I did only want him to go to one specific spot (midges old spot) but now that I'm approaching day 3 I'll take anywhere that hes not plotting atm. it's always the same 3 horrible spots. (right in front of my house, right in front of a bridge, or right over my perfect cherry orchard) I mean I guess I could re locate the bridge but ugh there has got to be more options than that. it's a fairly new town so I have plentyyyy of open space.
 
Is it better to get your dreamies when you started your town or still get them 5 months into the game?

I'd recommend getting them once you are totally set on your landscaping. This is because you want your dreamies to stay forever, thus you want them in a place you like. Unless you are totally happy with random plots around your town (which i am), then I would recommend getting them a few months into the game.

Thank you! What do you mean by set on your landscaping?

She means decide on where you want to put all of your PWPs, paths, trees, bushes, and flowers before you move your dreamies in because you don't want to let a dreamie move in and then wish you could have put something else where the house is.
 
hi i was wondering if i had 1 peppy already, and another one happened to move in would one of them or my previous one be more likely to move out?

also i was wondering if cookie the peppy pink dog was in your campsite, would you try to get her to move in or would you reset your campsite? i already have rosie.
 
Quick question about perfect towns.

I'm trying to get a perfect town to get the watering can but I'm not sure what the PWP requirements are. I've got a bunch of street lamps up in my town (9 or 10), a blue bench, water fountain, wisteria trellis & a zen garden. Also have the non-removable ones like the Cafe, Police station and Reset Center.

Do any of these detract from the rating? and what kinds of things should I be adding?
 
Hello people! I'm new to the Bell Tree Forums so you'll be seeing me for a little while. Anyway, what's the best way to start off your AC:NL town? As in town projects and stuff. I've only just started replaying so I want to get my town moving fast. Any ideas?
Thanks to-be friends!

All of those PWPs are good. Perfect town status is achieved based off of three categories: abundant nature, abundant living and cleanliness.
Here is a list of PWPs that will affect the towns nature positively:
flower clock/bed/arch, wisteria trellis, rack of rice, leifs topiaries, solar panel, wind turbine and windmill.
& negatively:
drilling rig, garbage can, illuminated arch/clock/heart/tree, picnic blanket, tire toy, tower, traffic signal, and the video screen.

(note: you can build pwps that are seen as "bad" but you'll have to build more good pwps to make up for it)

cleanliness is making sure you have less than 10 weeds, and less than 10 items on the ground. sea shells, flowers and fruits don't count. buried fossils, pitfall seeds and gydroids don't count either.

good abundant living would be the campsite, bridges, benches, streetlights.

Hope this helped :) make sure you also have at least 100 trees and lots of flowers planted as well.

I would start with looking up all of the pwps and which villager personality requests them and try to get the ones you like. there is a pwp diving trick you can do once you have a wetsuit and it will usually get you a random pwp request daily.
also make sure you talk to sable everyday to unlock the qr code machine if you're interested in laying out paths.
and try to unlock the dream suite soon so you can visit others dream addresses for inspiration :)

to be honest I'm not 100% sure if it's more likely for one of them to ping you to move out.
as for the campsite, it's really all up to you and your preference ! If you're looking for a villager that you plan to sell, well id reset. but if you already loaded up from an existing character you won't be able to reset for a different camper.
