Hey I see your online could I visit if you’re not busy

 

[Hypno KK]

I have a question. I've been trying to do the rustic theme for two of my houses. I can't seem to get over the 200,000 mark on either one. I've used moridb list, thonky list and a list on gamfaq, with no luck. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Lyle says the exterior is perfect, but the interior has very little rustic theme.

I have done the antique theme on one of my houses using strictly thonky.com and I'm almost at 2 million. Lyle says interior and exterior are 100% antique theme.

If you have any insite in this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I have no idea what's going on. Do you have enough furniture? That's all I can think of. Or do you have any other furniture in another style? Make sure to check your walls, it can be easy to leave an item there and forget about it.

I just got new leaf a few days ago and I know I’m several years late but I was wondering what should I be doing to make my town better

Hi, welcome! I'm guessing you've probably played the game a fair bit by now but there really isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play. Just look up some guides and try all the different activities If you're talking about the town's rating, there's a bunch of things -- no weeds/trash (the Beautiful Town ordnance helps with this a lot), no wilted flowers, PWPs, etc.. There's lots of guides out there about this as well so you can check what you still need to do. I hope this helps, if you've got any questions just ask

I got it figured out and am happy to say I have 3 out of 3 houses over 2 mil heading for 3 mil. The problem was with thonky.com. Most of what they had was incorrect. I went between moridb and gamfaqs site and did well. Thanks for responding!

I would like to place a small 1x1 public works project such as a park clock or a street lamp in a tight space near a villager’s home.

My question is do I have a better chance of getting the 1x1 PWP street lamp/park clock where I want it if I build it before the villager’s house is plotted? I am afraid if I wait until after the villager’s house is built that Isabelle will tell me there is not enough room to build PWP there.

Thanks in advance.

I am extremely new to clean ACNL and to these forms. So forgive me for asking a lot of questions.

1.) When you trade perfect fruit for perfect fruit with another player and plant said fruit would that tree produce perfects?

2.) is there anyone that plays between the hours of 9pm-7:30am PST?

3.) what is the best way to earn IGB?

4.) when do you earn the “golden” tools?

thanks for any help have an amazing day/night

Welcome to the forum!

1. Your native perfect fruit is the only one that you can grow perfect trees in your town. For example, if you have cherries as your native fruit, you can plant a perfect cherry and it will grow into a perfect fruit tree. If you trade with another player for perfect apples and plant them, they will only grow regular apple trees.

2. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm in EST so I'm usually done for the night by 9:00 pm your time.

3. Turnips can be a good way to earn money, but it's risky and you can potentially lose money. My preferred method was going to the island after 6-7pm and catching only rare bugs and sharks. You can easily earn 200,000 - 300,000 per trip or more.

4. Golden Net: Catch every type of bug and Nat will give you the golden net during the next Bug-Off. (Bug-Offs only occur in the summer.)

Golden Fishing Rod: Catch every type of fish and Chip will give you the golden fishing rod during the next Fishing Tourney. (Fishing Tourneys do not occur in the summer.)

Golden Shovel: Buy 50 bags of fertilizer and Leif will give you the golden shovel.

Golden Axe: Buy 50 tree saplings and Leif will give you the golden axe.

Golden Watering Can: You must have "Perfect Town" status for at least 15 days. Talk to Isabelle in Town Hall and she will give you the golden watering can.

Golden Slingshot: You will find it by popping ballons. Same as the silver slingshot. You can see that it's a toolbox instead of a present.

Sorry I think I have asked before, but I will ask again:
Is there a list of things that will impact and wont impact your friendship with your villagers?
For example, does saying no to not getting signatures in another town make the friendship worse? What about changing your mind/saying no to visiting etc? I feel so bad for saying no/changing my mind etc, but some of these things are just such a hassle most of the time.

I don't think there's actually a way to lower friendship levels even if they get mad at you if you hit them with a net, push them, forget to go to their house etc.
If you say no to them about a task they'll probably say something sad and then be completely fine after talking to them again.

I've been trying to breed blue roses for a few weeks now, with no success. I recently read this on Thonky's hybrid flowers guide:

"Also, when a new "child" flower appears in your town, it inherits some of the color information from its parents. The new flower's color information can influence the colors of its descendants, which can result in undesired colors when trying to grow a specific hybrid. Because of that, it is recommended to purchase new bags of flower seeds and use them to create hybrid flowers instead of using flowers that appeared in your town after watering."

In order to get blue roses, I understand that you have to use red roses bred from purple and orange parents. How does that work with this information? Will purple/orange roses that were bred from red roses not purchased from a shop not produce the "right kind" of red roses needed to make blue roses?

Also, read this from the same Thonky guide:

"Be aware that stepping on your flowers or hitting them with a net can change their color properties as well."

Is this accurate? If I caught a mantis on one of the red roses I'm using to try and get blue roses, have I just ruined everything and now need to toss those red roses and start over again?
I probably just need to plant my roses on the beach instead of where they are, but I'm starting to wonder if it's just not possible without fertilizer in the first place.

My sister's town doesn't have any christmas lights in her cedar trees. She's had the town for many many years. She's on 17th of December with no lights. She cut down and planted some new ones and there's still not one light. Is there something that triggers it except date? I have lights in my game, but not on all cedars.

edit: nevermind! they were just a bit late, probably due to some chopping and stuff.

I think it's only at a very specific time that the lights will appear and after that newly grown cedar trees won't have the lights. I've had the same issue.

The lights also only appear on some of the trees (at random, not based on location); I'm pretty sure it's not possible to have every single cedar tree end up with lights on them.

Does it remain night all day during Winter Solstice in New Leaf? I've never played on Winter Solstice, so I was shocked to see it be night during the day today.

Yep, the Winter Solstice is dark all day and the Summer Solstice is light all night.

I just started a new town, and am trying to stock up on my tools, but: For some reason, Nook's Cranny is only selling the net and shovel, day after day. I think it's been about three days, and the selection hasn't changed. Is this normal, or is something wrong with my game?

Things currently unlocked: Mayor's house is built, finished first day "tutorial day" and received some tools from Isabelle. Have NOT gotten the development permit yet. Edit: Now have development permit. I went one more day forward just to see if that made a difference, and... it's still a net and shovel. I don't remember this happening in my previous playthrough, but that was a long time ago...

Sounds like you're just experiencing bad RNG. You can get a free net or fishing rod from Isabelle during the tutorial. So if you haven't already, offer to do fishing and she will sell you a fishing pole for 500 bells.

That's good to hear (that my game isn't just messed up), thank you! Today it finally changed to a fishing rod and shovel, haha. I'll keep waiting to get my hands on a slingshot and axe!

[Bluebellie]
