I am not sure if this is an easy question to answer, but I hear people saying that they have more than one town? So I guess my question is, how do you get more than one town, or do they just buy another AC NL game card?

Yes, to get more towns, more games must be bought. I wonder why people do it, but I can see why people would want to do it.

Ive been playing acnl for a few months. I stopped and then got a new game and started playing again. Throughout those lonths ive had many questions.

1. How do i find the catfish? No big fish ever spawn in the wide part of the lake. Ever. I only see little fish like maybe once or twice a day in it.

2. How are people able to play multiplayer on the island?

3. How do i get a perfect town and how long to i have to keep it in check to get everything? It says its in the middle right now. I also have the perfect amount of trees right now. I dont want tons of flowers.

4. How and when can i catch tarantulas?

5. Tips on how to get someone to leave please? The only way i know if to wait a whole week without talking to them after youve talked to them once.

6. If you write a letter to someone will they understand what it says or what?

7. Sometimes i tell isabelle that i want someone to change what theyre wearing but the next day theyre still wearing the same thing.

8. I always catch the same fish.. Always.... Alwaysjhqksydg
Explodes

9. If i cut down trees will the stump go away?

So anyway id love some help. Thanks!

Well, catfish are only caught in the summer - fall. So, May - October, and 4 pm - 9 am. So you definitely won't find it if you're in March/April xD

2. How are people able to play multiplayer on the island?
Do you mean multiplayer like with your friends? Or club tortimer? Multiplayer with friends - you invite your friends to your town, or go to their town, then talk to kapp'n. He'll leave for the island when everyone is onboard.
Club tortimer - Costs 50 medals on the island, once you purchase it Kapp'n gives you the option of which island to go to (private or Club Tortimer)

3. How do i get a perfect town and how long to i have to keep it in check to get everything? It says its in the middle right now. I also have the perfect amount of trees right now. I dont want tons of flowers.
You need over 50 flowers, so make sure you have at least that many. Trees, you need between 110-200. You also need at least (i think) 10 PWP's, but both combined need good abundant nature & living.

4. How and when can i catch tarantulas?
In the summer, when you have your net out at night.

5. Tips on how to get someone to leave please? The only way i know if to wait a whole week without talking to them after youve talked to them once.
This varies. It also depends if you have other dreamies you don't want to lose. If thats the case, my advice would be to never talk to them (don't even greet them when they move in), and listen for rumors. There's more about that here

6. If you write a letter to someone will they understand what it says or what?
No. However, you can't just write anything. You should use proper grammar and pronunciation, otherwise it'd be seen as a "bad" letter.

7. Sometimes i tell isabelle that i want someone to change what theyre wearing but the next day theyre still wearing the same thing.
I'm pretty sure you can only get them to change shirts if they're wearing the default Able's patterns. If you want them to change their shirt, mail them that shirt 2-3 times in the same day.

8. I always catch the same fish.. Always.... Alwaysjhqksydg

Dunno what to tell ya for this one. XD

9. If i cut down trees will the stump go away?
You would have to dig up the stump with your shovel. It won't just automatically go away.



Hope that helped =]

This.. I actually am not sure. What time is it for you there? Maybe try and get his ping before he goes to sleep? I would assume after you get all your villager's pictures and talk to Blanca then you can get pings. Maybe someone else has a definite answer, sorry ;-;

Thanks alot alexi, very helpful also this random person said catfish were caught all year around so... Fail.

♥ Lyman told me about Zucker thinking of moving on April Fools' day,
before this the villagers never mention someone moving,
just other rumors.
I got all of the villagers' pictures and finish the April Fools thing but there is still no ping...
I think I can try to get a ping from Zucker tomorrow,
hopefully he won't be in boxes already ><
and thanks for always helping out!! c: ♥

Because it's a holiday, I do believe that they won't be able to tell you that they're moving. When was the last time other villagers told you about them leaving?

♥ hmm, i believe Lyman told me he was thinking of moving on Monday,
which was 4 days ago, and i stopped him.
so i guess my only hope would be stopping him tomorrow and hope that he won't be in boxes already c: ♥

If today is like fishing tourneys/bug offs, try time-travelling to 9pm (which should be when the event is over) and get him to ping. It worked for me during a fishing tourney~

You can navigate to bugs and deep sea catches. This is what I use. They even say the times and what they sell for! The chart will show you what months you can find each thing.

Okay I have a quick question--can other people catch bugs in your town and donate them to your museum? I'm having a hard time catching this darn mole cricket...

They can catch bugs in your town but they can't donate anything to the museum

If I am trying to get the train station upgrade, does a friend have to come on the train and also leave on the train, or is ending the multiplayer session ok? ;-;

Been confused about this one for awhile.

Ending is okay, but I don't know if just turning the wi-fi switch off is okay.

Just to add you also have to have 100 visits by said friend, you can check how many visits you've had by sitting on the town tree. If you're not able to sit on the town tree just yet, you'll have keep track of the visits manually. :c

I'd say the visit is not registered unless you've saved (if you've saved and then there's a problem in the connection, I don't know if it still counts), but it's faster if you end the session and you open again, because otherwise there's a loooooooong "Saving. Don't turn the power off" scene every time someone leaves.
