You cannot give the Fancy Frame to villagers when they ask for furniture? I had mine customized even! All that effort for nothing?

Where they asking for specific furniture, and what did you customize it with? I'm not sure, but I think you can't give villagers furniture customized with custom designs. It might also be because it's a wall item, though.
 
I can't get Beans from Harvey while he's feeding the birds. I keep selecting: 'Heya, Harv!' but the result is turning up empty. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Turns out you have to be extremely persistent. Hey just gave them to me, nevermind this. T.T

It was a custom design (town flag), so yeah, realized you cannot give them that. I just re-customized with a clothing instead & Punchy accepted it because he wasn't asking for a specific furniture replacement anyway. Didn't wanna give him anything else because he'd just replace furniture in his house.

I might just start doing this for other animals so they won't replace furniture lol.
 
Hey guys. I'm starting over again. I always seem to forget, but does sending letters help with your approval rating? I believe I did this once before and it worked. The only source I could find supporting this was Thonky's "Starting the Game" page. I always like to "speedrun" the beginning of the game so I can get to the PWPs.

Unfortunately, I can't say for sure, but the IGN page doesn't mention it.

However, from what I've heard, you can save and quit the game, then restart it to possibly get new requests from the villagers, so that could help you get the rating up faster.

I'll give it a shot, thanks!

Yes, it actually does. I remember Isabelle talking to you about it at the start of the game, when you ask her for advice. Sending letters is basically making friends with the villagers, so that results in them being satisfied and giving you a higher approval rating.

Awesome, thanks! Also, any idea why the rating stalls occasionally? I planted all of the flowers from my alt town in my current town and watered them, seventy to be exact, and I'm still at 33%.
 
Hey there, does plot resetting change the villager or just the location?

it depends. if you're in the phase where it forces you to gain more villagers (iirc it's less than eight), it'll change both the location and the villager. if this isn't the case, you could've gotten a villager from someone's void (they moved out of someone's town and that person visited you and now the villager wants to move to your town). in that case, the villager will not change, just the location. and obviously if you've invited someone it'll just change the location.
 
I was trying to find a Scarab Beetle and a "living fossil" from the river (I forgot the exact name of this fish). I was just wondering, if I open the train gates, what bugs and fish stop appearing until they are closed again? All I know is any bugs shaken from trees, mosquitos, tarantulas and scorpions stop spawning.

Those are the only ones that disappear. Basically, if you could make it easier by having a friend come over to help you catch the critter, or if it wouldn't know how to process it in the case of scorpions and tarantulas, then you can't catch it with the gate open.

However, I wouldn't try and catch critters while you're waiting for friends to arrive. If someone arrives while you're finishing, for instance, you pull the reel in, so the fish you're trying to catch will be scared off.
 
Do perfect fruits work differently post-WA update? I can't seem to get perfect fruit trees that aren't my native fruit to grow. So I get perfect oranges (oranges are my native) but when I planted a perfect apple, I got a regular apple tree. When I planted a perfect pear, I got a regular pear tree.

I don't remember this ever being an issue before the WA update.

The WA update had nothing to do with it, that's always been the case. Only perfect fruit of your native type will grow in your town.
 
How definite is it that when I ask an amiibo to move in, with 10 villagers, and kick someone out, that the amiibo will move EXACTLY where the evicted villager will go?


Basically, I WANT the amiibo to move where the evicted villager was exactly. Ive heard that this is what happens but i have never done it before. Just wanted to make sure it will happen. Let me know!! Thanks!

Huh. I've asked a couple of normal series amiibo villagers to move in and they were all pretty random if I remember correctly. You could always ask and try plot resetting just to see and be sure? That way you still have some control over it.
