I got this one

You can make up to 10 patterns and hold it on your person. You can store up to 72 designs with Mable for a total of 82 designs. This includes both PRO designs as well. (Both types take up one slot)

Now for clothes patterns that you want to use; you must have the pattern on your person.

So making a complicated path design means less pattern slots for you.

If you replace or erase a pattern that exists in the world, be it clothes or ground, they get replaced/erased.

Not sure about signboards/easels as I don't have either. If it hasn't been answered by the time I get home from vacation, I shall post again with a definitive answer for you

Thanks so much So, clothing patterns (and I assume other wearables) have to be on the person, but for paths, you can safely put them in storage and your paths should be okay? I wonder where furniture would go in this.

Mostly just preparing between the town flag, the museum exhibits, an outfit, an umbrella, 1-6 Path Designs, and a Sign...which is sadly more than 10 XD Along with possibly several paintings as well @-@ So trying to see if it'd be possible to do them all or if I'm going to have to narrow it down to do my town properly

I don't plan to delete any designs (as I shouldn't get anywhere towards 82 anyway), but I guess I'm worried that putting them in storage would count as them going away.

I apologize if I wasn't clear. You can store a design and a copy stays on your person. However, if you replace a pattern in your inventory that you previously put on the ground with something else, it changes on the ground. Erasing a pattern in your inventory turns that pattern white, not blank. So you will have a bunch of white squares everywhere.

So if you want to have a path in your town, be prepared to sacrifice those slots in your 10-slot pattern window. IE, you MUST have them on you at all times.

Other things stay though. You can safely not have your town flag design on you and it won't change, for example.

Zen, could you hold the path patterns with another character, freeing the space up with your main character?

 

[aikatears]

Hmm might do what josh does in his town and make ? mule just for patterns.

The only two things I've seen to stay are the town flag and the 2nd floor museum signs. Everything else (even furniture with patterns put on them via Kaizo) will change to match whatever it is in that slot. Haven't checked face boards, but I think they'd change too.

Indeed you can! I do this myself xD

Alright Thanks. It's my first time thinking about paths so... okay, flag and signs first then path and outfit @-@

Main reason I didn't want to make another villager is I'm not sure how much space I'd have in town as it is for like...all the other things I want in it. So having another villager could make it worse

RitsuBel - I've noticed some people with faceboards not have that pattern to choose from Wendell when someone is in their dream town, but I don't know how Wendell chooses patterns either.

Edit: One last pattern related question! If Player B gets a customized piece of furniture and gives it to Player A who does not have that pattern, would it still have Player B's pattern (as they still live in the town and have it) or would it change to Player A's pattern in that spot? And I'm guessing museum exhibits are shared amongst all players? @-@

 

[XenoVII]

Mind if I ask, what are the in-game Nintendo/Special items are. And if you can, can you provide the pictures?

Also, what are the instruments in this this game.

 

[katysu]

Thanks Zen for the answer.
I wonder how many players of New Leaf will lay down paths - I only put paths in accf because of grass wear.
But I got to like them, helped to define the town as 'mine'.

From what I've read, grass wear is in NL but not as harsh and/or programmed differently; no signposts: so no idea where villager houses may pop up, and community projects that take up space.
For me, that doesn't make a complicated path system seem very attractive, but will have to see.

I think ZedameX played AC with Lin and Ko xD

Yes, we play together from time to time. He is a really nice guy

 

[Skitty]

Tell Zed that his game is 10000000x better than reality TV

I want to know about the wigs that are available in this game. Does anyone know which ones appear or about any new ones?

 

[Pokeking]

I saw in footage that there is a hat resembling a sugegasa which is supposed to be the hat that Raiden from Mortal Kombat has. H don't remember where. However google translation leads me to a "sandogasa" hat.

Two different hats?

So, I just experienced something on a customized furniture with a pattern on it. Whenever I grab it on R.Parkers, it forces me to pick one of my 10 design slots in which the source pattern will take place. It leads me to think that each furniture with a pattern on it won't save a whole pattern. I assume the same will happen whenever you pick it up (the one with yellow leaf icon) on the ground...

So far I've seen the afro and the geisha wig return. There's a Japanese wedding wig which I think I've seen before and the Chinese twin buns which is a style I love.


Japanese wedding wig


Twin buns.

There's also the samurai hair style as well and probably a few more that I haven't seen yet.

 

[bionic]

Do you find yourself playing more with the 3D on or off?

 

[Loreley]

I've got a question about that stone plates on the ground shown in the 47min Nintendo Direct about New Leaf:


I'd love to have this kind of path in my town.
Are those normal patterns or is this some sort of community project? I'm confused because they don't seem to be exactly square and so I'm not sure if they are really just patterns.

 

[JCnator]

They're the patterns, and not a community project. They looked like irregular, but they're in fact squares.

 

[CHR:)S]

Doubt it, although Nintendo did surprise me with the early December one instead of a late December one. Besides, they have nothing coming in January. I see no reason to have another one until at least late January before Fire Emblem releases.

ogm nintendo direct on jan 5th: animal crossing new leaf coming out this month

omg its gonna happen
