I have a plan that I will be executing in a few weeks, and I want to make sure there are no flaws in it. Basically, I don't want to risk losing my village! I am buying the Zelda 3DS XL, and I anticipate it being my main 3DS. As such, I plan to transfer everything over to it from my current 3DS. Once I transfer, I would like to buy the download version of AC (I have the cartridge now), use the save transfer utility to send my village to the download version, and then I will use the cartridge to create another town on my original 3DS. That should work fine, right? I can then visit my other village, trade villagers, streetpass myself, etc. At least, I assume that's all possible. It'll be great having the download, because I haven't taken my cartridge out since July and thus haven't played anything else except for games I've downloaded.

Are you saying you want to transfer the save data on your cartridge to the downloaded copy? That's not possible. The DL copy will have to be your new town. You can play your old game in the same 3DS though -- and just use the old 3DS when you need to travel back and forth.
 
The save transfer utility doesn't work with New Leaf? :( I'll just keep my cartridge in the new machine and make a new town by downloading on the old.

Downloaded games can be moved, but the transfer utility doesn't move game data from one copy of the game to another, no. I don't think it does that with any games.

You can have the DL game in the same 3DS as your cartridge though, no reason to DL it into the old 3DS!

It's me, again~ lol

So I was just doing the reset trick to get a house plot in a place I wanted it. (Keep in mind that this is Ch?vre which I asked to move in from the campsite, so it's not just a random villager.) Well, basically it didn't work. I got on with a new character, went through all that blah blah stuff and looked for Ch?vre's plot. It was somewhere that was okay, but it wasn't exactly where I wanted her. I rinse and repeated,and I found her home, not just her plot, in the same spot. So... Where did I mess up? I did TT back to 5:58 with my Mayor character. Should I have used the 3DS' clock instead?
 
Not much of a question, but...

You know, how it rains, the villagers take out an umbrella, except for the frog villagers? I wanna know this...

Does Wart Jr. take out an umbrella as well, because he's technically a toad instead of a frog?

Once you started up with your mayor character it locked and saved. The game saves once you load with an existing character. If you wanted to keep resetting for the villagers plot you didn't need to tt back. You just keep making new files until they are in a good spot. So if they are in a less a than desirable location you just exit to home screen and do it again. As long as you don't start with one of your existing characters you are safe until you save.
 
I want to have it in both so I can get streetpass items with myself. :D

Ah, right! Then yeah, whichever town you will play as your primary town should be in the new system, so it sounds like you would want to DL into the old and have your extra/cycling town there.

Hard to be sure but I think effluo is right, logging in as your mayor may have done it. If the house was there, not just the plot, the game thinks you've travelled a day through time (forward or backwards, both work for move-ins).

I personally never use the 5:58 method, a friend of mine had two accidents doing it that way. I usually just wait until the next real day and log in with the new character and reset. If I need to move forward (say I'm tting someone out of my 2nd town for someone) I will use the DS clock.

He doesn't take out an umbrella, either. I know from experience x.x

Ducks don't walk with Umbrellas either. o;

Not sure if any other species doesn't use umbrellas besides frogs and ducks.
 
Something i have been wondering, do villagers ever donate to PWPs? I have been the one to pay off the donations every time so far.

Yes, one day after the PWP gets set up. But the most my villagers have ever donated is about 1k-2k. And that was TTing about a month, so they hardly ever donate.
 
Do gyroids just appear in the ground randomly? Because there have only been like two days where I've found not only fossils but also gyroids in the ground since I started playing.
 
Glad I saw this thread because I almost made one of my own to ask something!

You know how occasionally a villager will show you a letter you've sent them in the past? Say one of your villagers moves out and goes to live with someone else via SpotPass/trading. Can or will they show the new mayor any letters you sent them? Or if someone visits your town could any of your villagers show them letters?

Just a little something I've always been curious about since I don't get many chances to visit or be visited.

Now that JellyBeans has said differently, I'm less sure, but 5 minutes ago, I would have said with absolute certainly that gyroids only appear the day after it has rained. But you will definitely find gyroids the day after downpour.
 
I've had rumors of Rosie wanting to move, and I want to stop her! I've tried talking to her numerous times and she just won't bring up the idea that she's moving. Help???
