Dumb things you did in AC when you were new to it

[Pokemanz]

In WW I remember I never knew how to stop villagers from moving so my favorite villagers would leave and I would have like a meltdown lmao.

In New Leaf I remember I got a perfect fruit right away but had no idea what it was so I sold it. Then a few days later there was a Sloppy TV in Re-Tail. I thought it was just a regular new furniture series so I sold that too.

Ok so when I first started to get money to get my house I saw a perfect Apple on a tree but I thought it was a rotten apple so I left it there but then five days later I went back to the perfect apple and saw that it was a perfect apple and ate it no questions asked

In Wild World I would proudly display the tacky Nintendo items instead of rightfully throwing them away.

I didnt know how to sneak when it came to bugs and I ate perfect fruit in my town. *shrug*​

Sold off the first perfect fruit I got.

- Ran around like a maniac. We've all done this at some point, either in CF (guessing because that's the only game in the NA released series that I have yet to play) or in NL. Had no idea it messed up the grass at first. Now I avoid running unless I'm too tired or impatient to care.
- I used to hit some of my favorite villagers on the head with my net 'cause I thought it was funny to make them depressed or mad.

Wait what! Running is bad for your grass?! :O

- Every time they asked for greetings, I changed them to 'Wassup baby' cause I was lame

Wassup baby

I used to sit with my gate open all day without adding anyone, waiting for people to come in because I thought you could go to anyones town and anyone could come over.

Ahhhhhh I felt bad imagining that

- I didn't know that you could choose a different map.

What!? Wish I knew this, I don't like my map that much.

Oh mines perfect, I was pretty young so that's my excuse; the question that defines your town name "where are you going" I didn't click you needed to type in a town name, and attempted to put in "I don't know" it didn't fit, so I ended up naming my town "dunno" I wasn't the brightest child. Named my old town in New Leaf "dunno" too for funny nostalgia

Oh my god! When I first, I thought that every plant needed watering so for a loooong time I would water every sapling I planted.

Me too! It took me soooo much time!

I thought you had to eat to stay alive, so I would eat cherries every single day.
Needless to say, I found out Animal Crossing was NOT a survival game. xD

Why? Why can't I eat something else than fruit, that fish looks so yummy.

I of course ate the perfect fruit, like a big dummy dumb. Otherwise, I was not so concerned with placement or villagers when I first got the game, I was just blissfully content and intrigued by everything, and then I joined this forum and realized my town was lackin' some real swag, y'know? So I redid my town twice and then it was just too much work to bother with so I lost interest.

 

[Matangi]

like most people here, i sold my first perfect fruit

i haven't gotten another one since

sigh

 

[mayormia]

All of my hybrids used to die before i set the perfect town ordnance. I still accidentally run through hybrids, and every time i do it a little piece of me dies.

like most people here, i sold my first perfect fruit

You can have one of mine if you want. I have the same naitive fruit as you.

 

[Moose716]

when I started, I sold a sprinkler

 

[CaptainCrunch]

I remember covering my entire town with an annoying pink path. Like there was no grass area, all of it was just pink paths. It was soo bad. And I didn't know how to plot reset so when I got one of my biggest dreamies she moved right next to me leaving barely any room ;v;

 

[NyanMeow]

-the perfect fruit (I wish there was a warning or something)
-I tried to plant island fruits on regular grass LOL that went well...
-it's been more than years than I'd like to remember since I played the GC for the first time, but I think I tried to find a way to send my parents a letter/present, lol...

 

[pharbro]

i never really understood the whole villager moving out thing in wild world so i'd always just keep all my villagers and they were all like **** tierlike rasher and rowan, i basically had a town of ugly crankys and i'd also rob all my villagers houses of their furniture on flea market day. then once i finally paid off my house i thought i'd finished the game and then reset lol
