So I'm gonna start doing HHA theme challenges (rustic) and I'm thinking about using a few gyroids. On a guide I read online it says:
"Item that can't be used because it's facing a wall or is behind something" which would cause a -10,000 point penalty. Are gyroids considered interactable? I wanna know before I start positioning everything (Gonna try to max out a room with one theme)

Once a villager asked why my gyroid was facing a wall, so I think they do

thank you One more question. Im looking at two websites that have music and there corresponding themes.

http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/furniture-by-theme/
http://moridb.com/items/music/?limit=50&offset=0

Not sure which one to trust. Moridb has some music listed as belonging to 2 themes which leads to a bigger list of music I could do for the rustic theme challenge :s

So, on your birthday, you only get one of the six special items? Without "cheating," you have to play for six years to get everything?

Yeah, you only get one item from what I understand. Besides time traveling and trading, you could also make three other alternate characters. Then you could get four a year, but you'd have to befriend some villagers with all of them, which will take some time.

Thanks, for some reason, I thought you got everything if you had high friendships.

Can you plant durians and other fruits you got from the island in your town? If so, are there restrictions on the area where they can be placed (like only the south side of town or whatever)?

You can plant all island fruits in your town! Durians, Mangos, Lemons, and Lychees can be planted anywhere in your town except for the beaches. They work just like the other fruit trees. Bananas and Coconuts (the palm tree fruits) can only be planted on the beaches.

Awesome, good to know. Thanks!

When a villager tells you they're moving, is it possible for them to decide NOT to move WITHOUT being talked to? In other words, if I don't talk to them again after that, they can't possibly change their mind and decide to stay, right?

No. They can only decide not to move if you talk to them again.

I now have 30 projects in my town, and Isabelle won't display other projects when requesting to build a new project. Only the town hall and station projects are available. Is this meant to happen once you get to the 30 mark?

Also, will villagers still request projects? I hope so...

You hit the maximum amount of PWPs (30) that you can have at any given point, which is why they have been removed from the list. If you demolish a project, you will get the list back. As far as I know, you can still receive PWP requests even though you've hit the limit.

Thank goodness, thanks SonatinaGena!

I just traded Marshal for Ankha, but I think I may have accidenatly not saved. I ended the session fine, so I know there was no issues there, but I don't see her plot. Did I mess up? I'd hate to lose Ankha. ;-;

Can you elaborate on your issue? Did you just pick up Ankha to find out her plot wasn't there?

What do you mean "not saved?" Did the other person confirm that Ankha's house said, "Moved Out" after you adopted her and was the session ended/did you go home by train just fine? If so, everything should be fine.

I have read that some people experienced delays in seeing villager plots if they let someone adopt a villager of their own on the same day. I think the game just needs a few extra days to process Marshal's move-out and then Ankha's move-in. If you're time traveling, time travel a day ahead and see if there isn't a plot. Even if there isn't a plot, save anyway (feel free to delete the new character whenever, the point is that you should save for that day). Then time travel a day further and continue, and you should see a plot eventually. If you're not time traveling, obviously just play the game as normal for today and check back in tomorrow.

I adopted Ankha, and then let someone come and adopt Marshal. I then closed my gates. I think I saved (this is the issue, I'm not 100% sure if I did >.<) and hit my homescreen. I was going to check if I did, but I accidentaly pressed the X button. I TT'd to the next day and began to plot reset, and found no plot. I went back a day, I found Marshal's house, which saved "moved out". All the flowers I had watered before the adopter were still sparkling. I had nine villagers when I adopted Ankha, including Marshal, who was in boxes.

Oh, it doesn't matter whether or not you saved afterwards! As long as the person who had Ankha ended the session/you left by train, then the WiFi session was saved properly. And as long as the same applied to the person who adopted Marshal, that person also has Marshal.

You just need to save on the day following your adoption, even though there isn't a plot. Then keep time traveling forward, saving if she still doesn't appear. She should appear at some point. The game just needs a day or two to process the moving out and the moving in.

Thank-you for answering! I was panicking, I didn't want to lose Ankha. x) I'll do what you said, hopefully she won't hide for long.

No worries! Post back if she still isn't appearing. I haven't had any experience with this myself, but I've read a bunch of posts of people who had a similar issue, and the general similarities between those problems were that they had all let someone move out the same day. I think the game just needs some time to process the villager moving out before they can let villagers move in.

If she doesn't move in, the only thing that could have happened was an error in picking her up (like if you disconnected or something).
