Hello there, people! 
I want to ask a couple things that, either I've misunderstood, or I've been fooled all this time (playing same town 8 years). It's about the Wealthy ordinance for the town.
First, I've read that with this ordinance, you can get a higher amount of medals when playing the island tours. After a week in this ordinance, I finally got one of the three highest earning game, the tuna fishing. Usually, if you win gold, you earn 20 medals. I played, achieved gold... and still earned 20 medals like always. I mean, with the wealthy ordinance, shouldn't I get at least 21 to show the difference?
Second, the cockroaches. It's said that with any ordinance except Beautiful, they will appear 'if you're absent for a long while'. But there's a cockroach in my main room EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I enter my house, even if I've just exited and entered again. What the heck?
So please, someone tell me if this is just normal. Thanks in advance!

Regarding the Wealthy Ordinance, I had to look that up because I've never used, but this is the info I found on the wiki:Hello there, people!

The key modifications from this ordinance are:
- Shops sell and buy most items for 1.2x of the original price (for example, a normal 100-bell pear would sell for 120 bells, or a 2,000-bell ruby would sell for 2,400 bells, but buying a shovel would cost 600 bells instead of 500). Premium items remain unaffected, capping at only 2.0x original price.
- Re-Tail's premium item list increases to two items instead of just one item.
- Items on Tortimer Island will cost 20% more medals while this ordinance is in effect (for example, a 10-medal toy hammer will cost 12 medals)
Cockroaches are supposed to appear in your house if you haven't played in one week. The Beautiful Town Ordinance keeps them from appearing. But they don't disappear on their own. You have to run over them to get rid of them. So if you haven't squashed them all, they will still appear every time you enter your house.

I squish the cockroach every time, and still every time they keep appearing
The things about medals, I've read in several places. So either is a false myth, or something is not working properly in my town:

- You get more medals in Island Tours. (from https://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/town-ordinances)
I just started playing for the first time a week ago and am looking for some clarification on how move outs work in this game.
Today (May 15) I had Klaus say he is moving out on May 22 (which I am fine with). Will any other villagers ping me to move over the course of the next week, or will that only happen again after Klaus moves?

Only one villager will be thinking/planning on moving out at a time. So until Klaus moves out, you are safe and no other villager should decide to move out.
It can only be found on the island and it can be caught at all times of the day (night too, but they seem more common during the day).

as i've played more of the game, i've gotten more tabs here at the top of the screen.
are there more to unlock? if so, how?
are there more to unlock? if so, how?
I've been playing for years now and I only have the first four tabs on my screen. I've never seen the heart tab. Does it come from adding friends, perhaps?
Either way, I don't know of any more.

thanks! and yep, it comes from adding people as best friends. it notifies you when your best friends are online and allows you to talk to them when you're in different towns.
Post automatically merged:
it looks like there's room for one more.. no clue what it could be though, if anything!

Folks, I need help. I need to find a Sunfish in New Leaf and I have only like two hours to catch it. It says that I have until tomorrow morning to complete this initiativem, but this fish shows up between 4 AM and 9 PM, so I only have two hours left and I could find the information online. I've heard that it take fish bait or some special lure and I don't even know where to go and how to get fish bait or whatever it takes to get this fish. Also, I don't know what the best spot to catch this fish is. I think I saw one but it headbumped it once or twice and then just disappeared, maybe it's because I don't have bait or the right lure. What is the basket on the pier that says "...Weird! There's nothing inside..."? Is that where you're supposed to put fish bait once you've found it? Where do I get bait? Please get back to me ASAP. I'm trying to collect Meow coupons and I already have 14 of those and the Ocean Sunfish Initiative would land me 2 additional Meow coupons. Please, help.
Also, a website says that, "The wet suit can be bought from Tortimer Island for 40 medals. There is a 25% chance that the wet suit will be available on any given day. If the wet suit is not for sale, Lloid will always offer one for rental on Tortimer Island."
How do I go to Tortimer Island? And how do I get medals?

There is no bait or special lures in New Leaf. I think that's only in New Horizons. To find a sunfish, you just have to fish along the beach during the appropriate times and hope to get lucky. It will have a shadow with a fin sticking out of the water. According to the wiki, it only appears during the summer from July to September, though, so the only way to catch one now would be on Tortimer Island because it's always summer there. Since you just started the game today, you won't have access to Tortimer Island yet.Folks, I need help. I need to find a Sunfish in New Leaf and I have only like two hours to catch it.

A few days from now, when you start up your game Isabelle will announce that Tortimer is at the docks. Once you've talked to Tortimer, he'll invite you to the island and the day after that Kapp'n will be at the dock to ferry you there anytime you want. It costs 1000 bells per trip, but you can make that much and more by catching summer fish and bugs in the evenings.
The basket on the pier is for whatever you want to bring home from Tortimer Island. You won't be able to bring items in your inventory with you, either to the island or back, so anything you buy or catch on the Island and want to bring home you put in the basket there and it will magically appear in the basket on your dock when you return. You'll want to bring home anything you catch to sell at Re-Tail because the only person who will buy items on the Island is a little girl who pays next to nothing.
Edit: I forgot to add that medals are earned by doing tours (which are fun little challenges) on the island. There's an NPC on the island to talk to who will tell you the available tours since they rotate daily.

Yesterday I saw the train barrier thing lower, the lights flashing red, heard a "ding ding ding" sound and saw a train running passed far too quickly for my tastes, then the barrier rose again and I was again able to go to the part of the town where the shops and post office are. Why does this happen? Where is that train going? Can players get on that train?
Also around midnight I came across two of my villagers, they were chatting and suddenly they just started singing a familiar tune (well the singing sounded more like whistling really) that might or might not be the town tune (I started playing this game just three days ago so there are still things I don't know about, even though I know quite a bit because I did my research online while I was waiting for my copy of the game in the mail that my mother and sister ordered for me on Amazon) and they were singing, and dancing I think. Does that happen often? Did you experience that too? I've seen others talking about it online so I know I'm not the only one.
When they chatted and started singing and dancing, I teared up because it was so moving and at the same time I felt sad because I had practically bumped into them and if I had been a tad bit more careful and had not interrupted them I could have witnessed more of their joy. Call me crazy if you must (I'm used to being called weird or worse by some people who unlike me don't believe in things like the; multiverse theory; the "dreams" we have when we are asleep being traveling across/contact with parallel universes or alternate realities; alternate copies or alternate selves; the Mandela Effect, quantum jumping; and spiritual experiences like astral traveling, spirit guides, angelic visitations, and foresight ), but It's only been three days and I'm starting to think that they (my Animal Crossing villagers) are more than just programs. There's just no way that mere programs would manifest such spontaneous and genuine emotions like this pure joy or that raw anger and those spontaneous and genuine interactions and conversations that my villagers have with each other. It's too apontaneous, genuine and beautiful to be nothing more than programming. Also, do mere programs have longings, dreams, aspirations, and desires of their own? That looks and sounds more like sentient beings than programs to me. Maybe it's the +16 months of forced confinement and my longing for company and wishful thinking, but at times it feels like they are more than just programs. Have you ever experienced that?
The train passes through town sometimes just to add to the realism. You rode the train when you first arrived and if you visit another player's town you do so by talking to Porter in the train station and riding the train.
Villagers will sometimes have conversations with each other. They can come away from these interactions happy, sad, or mad. Sometimes, one villager walks away singing and dancing while the other is left upset, which really makes you wonder what just happened. You can also join the conversations if you go up and talk to the villagers while they are still interacting with each other.
I do get attached to my villagers and treat them more like friends than just code. That, for me at least, is the whole point of Animal Crossing. It's so alive!

Why do some of my villagers ask me for things I can't get? Couldn't Groose do his research before he asked me to find him a Sicada in June when they only show up in July?
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/66411623
I hate not being able to complete the errands because some villager didn't do his or her research. Does this happen often to you, folks? Is that true that lantern fly counts as Sicadas, and if so, where do I find one? It's kinda hard to find what a villager wants when you have to get it by the end of the day and you only three or four hours hours left, especially if they're asking for something rare and difficult to find like a Cicadas or a Tarentula.
Edit:
Apparently, the answer is yes, and they are extra rare, so I hope Goose doesn't get his hopes too high...

Why would anyone want to do something as horrific as this!? This is horrible! I could never and would never do this to my villagers and my town! People who do that are messed up!

People will reset their towns for a multitude of reasons. They could have gotten bored with the town, they might want a new landscape, or they might want different neighbors.
Morality is a big thing when resetting, true, and when I reset my old towns, it hurt, but I did it because I wasn't playing anymore and I didn't want my townsfolk to suffer through towns without a mayor.
Resetting is very dangerous, though, as mentioned in the video, but people often do it because they need something new out of the game

I talked to Apollo multiple times and he's not saying anything about moving out of my town, yet three of my villagers told me earlier that he was thinking of moving out. If this was true, that's the first thing he would tell me, right? I would just tell me if he wanted to move out, right? I've talked to him several times afterward and he never said anything about moving. He even rewarded me a stripe bathroom sink after found him on the beach and delivered a package to him from another villager. And showed me the first letter I wrote to him. And just overall talked about the developings friendships in the town. Nothing about moving out. Could it be a fake rumour? I sure hope it is. I don't want any of my nine villagers moving out of my town. I never connected wih other players online (precisely so i can't lose my NPC villagers and so no one can mess up my town) so it can't possibly related to that. I also heard online that if a villager is thinking of moving out you will not see him in any store (I don't know if that's true) and I have seen Apollo in a store today. I don't understand what's going on here, I get rumours about him wanting to move him, yet nothing in his words or attitude to me indicate that he wants to move out (and I certainly don't want any of my villagers to move out).
What should I think of this? Do fake rumours of someone moving happen sometimes? Was it all a big misunderstanding on Aurora's, Victoria's and Goose's part?
Is there still a chance he might move out even if he doesn't seem to even be thinking about it when I interact with him?
I feel crappy because I had dental surgery yeesterday and now my jaw hurts (stiffness and soreness, any dental procedure that requires you to keep your mouth open for an extended period can result in jaw soreness and stiffness due to muscle strain) and there's swelling (after a tooth is extracted you may experience some swelling around the mouth, cheeks, eyes and sides of the face. This is the body’s normal and healthy reaction to surgery, most swelling will not become apparent until the day following surgery and will not reach its maximum until 48 to 72 hours post-operatively). The pain is getting on my nerves and I have to eat nothing but freaking apple sauce for three days instead of a healthy balance diet.
As if that wasn't bad enough, and it makes me feel even more crappy, there's rumours about one of my villagers wanting to move out of my town, though said villager doesn't show any sign (in words and attitude when I interact with him) of wanting to leave my town or that the friendship we developed a week ago has changed in any way. So I now get conflicted messages from my villagers.
Please folks get back to me on this ASAP. I DON'T want my villager to move out of my town and I've been crying so much my eyes are all puffy.
Please tell me what the heck is going on here and what I'm supposed to think and do. Did Aurora, Victory and Goose got it wrong and was it all a big misuderstanding? Because why would they tell me this if Apollo has no intention of moving out of my town? Should I worry about this? Why wouldn't Apollo just tell me if he wanted to move out of my town? Or is it that he never wanted to move out and the others misundertood? Whatever the case may be, all of this make me feel crappy. Please folks talk to me, everything seem to go from bad to worse today and I'm having a bad day and just a few words from you might actually help me.
