PWPs will destroy any plants (flowers, trees, shrubs ect...) that is both on the project itself and all around one space if it. Nothing can be right on top of the PWP one space all around. If the project is a one space item, it will destroy a 3x3 space (the one space it takes up and the invisible border around it).

Okay. So... I don’t even know where to start BUT if anyone even cares - my current town is a couple of months along now and I’ve got no special stumps and since it’s mushroom season now I thought wait, I need those for certain ones don’t I? And here’s where my issue gets confusing... Even before I started my current Mandala I knew I was going to use my old town named Bon Bay at some point. But I was in no hurry because I know how time consuming two towns is and I wanted to get pretty well established in the newest and I had voids so definitely didn’t want to screw that up but now I’ve got ten villagers so I can safely visit between them (btw, I am correct assuming this aren’t I? And will visiting my new town that has never had any voids clear Bon Bay’s??) and I have like 30 silver axes just waiting not to mention a museum room filled with street pass items and all of the other advantages of doing two towns SO I guess I’m finally getting around to taking it seriously and suddenly it occurs to me that maybe I don’t want to open my old town in June of 2018 since it’ll be a secondary for me... it was about five months old and it had obtained perfect status and beautiful town ordinance was enacted so I just thought I’d ask others what they thought. What would you do, have done, recommend? I also have my old secondary town, my first Mandala but I was just going to visit that one with Bon Bay’s mayor to rob it of anything good because I’d rather sell that one and restart it if I ever do another town (I wound up not really liking the map all that much) but I’d like to focus on my current Mandala and just get my silver axes from my island but knowing I already have some is kind of maddening in a way and I want a bubble wand again so, should I open it from last year and maybe even get a tarantula since it’ll be summer and that’s the only one I missed or skip it to now and survey the changes for curiosity’s sake and any other reasons I can’t think of? Thank you

That looks a little tricky because it's slanted.
It might be too close to the PWP.

I can't tell from that if you have three spaces between the plot and the PWP.

I don't know that I can really tell you whether or not you should reopen your other town, but I can answer a few of your questions.

First, you don't need special stumps to get mushrooms in November. During November, 5 mushrooms will randomly spawn around any trees and one of them will be a piece of the mushroom furniture set when you pick it up. Special stumps are only needed if you want to spawn mushrooms outside of November or if you just want them for decoration.

Second, if both of your towns are at 10 villagers, then you can safely travel between them without picking up any voided villagers. If you go below 10 villagers in either town, then there is a chance you could pick up a voided villager in the town that is at 9 or fewer villagers.

It's really up to you if you feel like going back to your old town for any reason. Juggling 2 towns is somewhat time-consuming but having access to the items in that town could give your new town a boost. I'm currently managing two towns, but my main town is basically complete and I just log in to do daily maintenance.

It's hard to tell because the house is showing up slanted, but you might have room. My suggestion is to ask Isabelle if you can put a 3x3 PWP in that spot. The fountain is my preferred option. You don't have to go through with building it. Just ask her about the location and then tell her you've changed your mind and cancel before she sets it up. If you can build a 3x3 PWP there, then you can likely plot a villager in the spot. The only different that you'd need to account for is the doorway which requires an extra space in front of a villager house.

Sorry i'm not sure why its slanted.So a few days ago I suggested the fountain pwp, it fitted and then I cancelled it and theres nothing near the doorway area that could obstruct a resident moving in. This morning I play and Marina has moved in but on a pathway far away from the area that I wanted. Now i didn't play yesterday so the only thought I have is that perhaps a fake rock was in the area that I plotted out and prevented her from moving there. Has anyone else had a similar situation like this happen to them before?

So, I visited a North American Island today and the nicest person set a nice array of gold roses for the taking. I of course wanted to grab as many as I could and I ended up having almost a full pocket full.

I also grabbed a few other items that he gifted out and three of them were furniture pieces that had "???" instead of what they were? How does one do this or is this just a thing that happens when villagers drop furniture on the island?

Edit: When I displayed it in my house, it is a pic of some villager, but when I pick it up again, it still shows "???"

It's probably because they were hacked. I don't hack and haven't dealt with hacked items personally, but that seems like the most logical conclusion.

I think so. Is it even possible to bring gold roses or others items from your village onto the island even a multiplayer island through legitimate means? I'm also concerned about how this works with trading in these forums if I were to trade flowers that were obtained through illegitimate means.

Thnx for the response btw.

As far as I know, the only legit way to bring something to the island is to wear it. You can wear flowers in your hair so they could bring 1 or maybe 2 with them legitimately, but any more than that and they are definitely hacked.

Also, hybrid flowers that are hacked cannot be bred to create more of the same. For instance, if you get two blue roses, you can usually breed them together and they will produce more blue roses. But if they were hacked, then when you breed them they will only produce white roses. So it's a good idea to be cautious about where you get your flowers from if you're planning to breed more.

To bring flowers to the island, you can wear one rose (mouth) and one other flower (hair) and bring them over to your local island to stay. If you plant them online on Club Tortimer and leave you will never get them back. But you can go to tour local island even with online multiplayer and bring flowers.

Also about illegitimate flowers, it is against tbt rules to sell/trade/giveaway ect... hacked items, so no one should sell you hacked flowers as it is. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it shouldn't. If it does happen you can report that person and leave a bad WiFi rating.

How many days will it take for a villager move in after one has moved out?

 

[Stella-Io]

How many days will it take for a villager move in after one has moved out?

Anywhere from 1-4 days. Villagers tend to move in faster if you adopt, Streetpass or invite them from the campsite, but they can take their sweet time as well just as any other villager would.

Little note, the less villagers you have in town, the more frequently you'll get a villager in your campsite.

So the wisteria trellis... doesn’t it leave a dirt patch underneath it once you build it? I mean say you place it on a pristine perfect swath of land and you know, you plan not to walk under it but every now and then in order to keep the grass really nice, right? But it doesn’t matter because it’s going to turn to dirt anyway?? Just wondering because I can’t remember from my first town and I know I placed it on existing dirt in the next town and I don’t hack so this would be a critical factor in deciding where to use it in my current town. Thanks in advance if anyone knows!

I have the Wisteria Trellis in my town and there is currently a little bit of snow underneath it. I walk under it every day so there's still some of my dirt path left, but I don't think I'd see snow there if grass couldn't grow under it as well.

I can't remember if it kills the grass when you first place it, though. It might because of the roped off area where you have to pay it off, but then maybe it grows back if you stay off of it???

Just checked my town with the Wisteria Trellis. If you place it on a fresh grassy area it will only create a small dirt spot around the four corners of the trellis and not the middle where you walk through. I wanted to avoid walking through it to wear it down in my town, so I have a road that goes around it (also covered in path patterns). Generally the areas around PWPs can deteriorate grass easily if you walk close to it daily because building it already creates a small dirt area underneath it and it can branch out quickly if you're not careful.

One of my bushes wilted and I don't know why...? It's in a chain of 8 or 9 bushes. There's no cliffs or buildings or rocks or projects near it. It's completely surrounded by grass except for the bush chain it's a part of. Why did it wilt???

Sometimes, it's based on the order you plant the bushes in. Is the one that wilted on the end or in the middle? If it's in the middle, I suggest digging up the bushes around it and replanting them all starting from the one that wilted. I know it's a pain, but that's the only way I've found to get certain bushes and trees to grow.
