My citizen staticfaction says: They want your town to be more greener.

What does that mean? I got a lot of trees and so many flowers they I can't even run. I wanna reach the perfect town phase.

These are the requirements for a perfect town rating (citizen satisfaction)(*source: http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Perfect_Town):

• Trees: Between 110 and 200 total. These can be either be Palm trees or Fruit trees.
  
• Flowers: Have at least 75 flowers planted throughout your town.
  
• Public Works: At least 10 Public Works are needed. Dream Suite, Fortune-Teller, Museum, Town Hall and Station Upgrades don't count.
  
• Weeds: No more than 10.
  
• Items on ground: No more than 10. This includes Fruit and Lost Items.
  
• Trash: None on ground, none buried.

Try to count your trees (a tedious task, yes). Maybe there's something off there.

HOW MANY TREES?!
Are you completely sure of that? Because there's no way I have that many in my town, and it's been almost perpetually in the highest rank. I think I have around 60 maybe?

Quite sure. The IGN guide confirms it, saying the following about perfect town requirements

"The rating depends on three categories: Cleanliness, Abundant Nature and Abundant Living.

- Cleanliness

less than 10 weeds
less than 10 items on the ground (not counting sea shells, fruit, mushrooms, flowers, buried fossils, buried gyroids, buried Pitfall Seeds)
no garbage (Empty Can, Boot, Old Tire, Spoiled Turnips)
no

- Abundant Nature

Trees between 110 and 200
Flowers over 50
High Nature Points from Public Works Projects
Good: Flower Clock, Flower Bed, Flower Arch, Wisteria Pergola, Straw Fence, topiaries, Solar Panels, Wind Power Generator, Windmill
Bad: Garbage Can, Jumbo Monitor, Oil Excavator, Tire Play Equipment, Picnic Sheet, Traffic Light, illumination items, Tower
Abundant Living

- High Living Points from Public Works Projects

Best: Campground
Good: bridges, benches, outside lights, Garden Chair, Hot Spring, Fire Hydrant, Stadium Lights, Solar Panels, Lighthouse
OK: almost everything else including Water Well, Fountain, clocks, Signboard, Face Board, signs, art, monuments, etc.
Bad: Garbage Can

Does anyone know if there are any new musical instruments? I think I might of heard someone saying this but I'm not entirely sure.

Can you pick up a villager from someone's void if you pick up another villager in boxes?

 

[Melyora]

Not from the same town at least. From what I believe, a voided villager can be picked up upon streetpassing or entering someone's town or someone entering your town.

So when you pick a villager in boxes up, a voided villager can be registered to move into your town at the moment you enter the town. However, because you request the villager in boxes to move in after entering, it will overwrite the potential voided-move-in.

Since only 1 can move in at a time, the boxed villager will move in.

For this reason I do not visit other towns when I adopt a villager in boxes, in fear of voided ones overwriting the boxed villager. The last one to register before a new day starts is the one who'll move in.

So the game doesn't prioritize the 'villager in boxes'? That is so strange...

I've never experienced it myself, but that's because I don't take chances xD But I've heard stories before on this forum (might already be 2 years ago) that this has happened to some people.

How do you use the new furniture moving system?

 

[MOON TRIPS]

How do you use the new furniture moving system?

if you don't have it unlocked...
you have to add the secret storeroom to your house.
once you have that added, go to Nook's Homes. Lottie will be there and teach you how to do it.
once you've done that, you can go home and there will be an icon for it on the bottom screen, left side of the light switch.

 

[GuerreraD]

I've just counted down every single tree in my town. It turned out I have more than hundred, ha ha ha! Actually 128 trees!
Whoa, that's more than double the number I thought it was... it surprised myself!

Can I replace all my native fruit trees with my desired one?

Yes, but you'll be unable to plant perfect fruit trees. Only the native fruit can grow perfect fruit trees

So I have a question about adopting amiibo villagers.
It's always been the case in the game that when a villager moves out, you need to move out 8-10 villagers before the one that moved out can come back. Does anyone know for sure if maybe that rule wouldn't apply if I were to say go try and adopt O'Hare from someone's amiibo card of him? Or would I still not be able to move them back in without moving out 8-10 others (if someone knows the exact number that would be cool)?
As I think about it more it seems like that rule would still be in place...itd be nice though if they changed that in the update.

 

[Ras]

It was 16. I have been told that the limitation is completely gone if you use a card. I haven't experienced it myself, but that's pretty well established here.

. . .

My perfect fruit tree died, so I tried planting fertilizer like you can with the update. When the fruit came back, it was not perfect. Will it eventually become perfect, or does it just stay normal? If so, what a waste. I will just keep digging up the stump and planting a perfect either from that tree or another.

16? Oh God...I hope the thing about adopting through amiibo cards is true (if anyone is completely sure, please tell me!) but I guess it would be worth experimenting with next time I have space...

Edit: it seems like this is true, you don't have to cycle 16 villagers if you adopt with an amiibo card!! This is incredible news...every day I'm more thankful for this update...;w;

The fruit will stay normal. Did you bury a native perfect fruit? Using the golden shovel to bury the fertilizer also helps.

 

[Ras]

I used the golden shovel. It'll just be easier for me to continue to bury a perfect fruit to replace the dead tree (the same one tends to die, because that's the one I use all the time when someone asks for fruit).
