Glitch/hack towns?

[regigiygas]

(i'm not even 100% sure if we're allowed to talk about this but i haven't seen anything saying we can't. i just want to talk about it but i'm not telling anyone how to do it)


have you guys seen them?
would you hack your town (move your villagers, buildings, etc)?

what do you think of it?



one of my towns is hacked and i adore it, have a look!

my map, some scenery, more scenery

if your town is hacked, maybe show it off if you want??





(if there is a rule about this that i may have missed, please let me know!)

---

edit: i rechecked the rules and i THINK that since it says to not include or promote hacking information, i'm in the clear?

cause i'm not sharing how to do it​

I would never ever hack my town. It would take the fun out of it.


The only thing I would do would be using hacks to change my town name, though I'm not even sure if I'd do that if it was an option xD

There are some cool hacks I have seen on tumblr and stuff, but I don't like cheating in my game.

I saw someone put Zucker on their beach and it was super cute, his house was built into the cliff and stuff.

That would be cute and cool, but I wouldn't do it for myself.

yep, changing your town name is a thing you can do.


you can basically change everything about your game.

when I was working on my town I accidentally put Bones's house in the ocean, and Deirdre was hanging off of a cliff D8

Exactly. It's cool to see what people do, but any chance to corrupt my data NO THANKS. I even get scared transferring stuff between my towns using 2 3DS's because someone wrote that that corrupted their data! And plus I like working for my stuff you know? I actually like having to creatively place my paths and stuff instead of just straight lines.

I've seen one town like it. They had public work projects in the water and such. It looked cool, but I wouldn't hack my game. I've got most homes where I want them through the reset trick. Which is time consuming but it feels more rewarding when you finally get that home in the right place. I like the bamboo in the water in your town, that looks really nice.

I keep my 3DS updated and I always update my brother's for him as well, so no, ahem, editing for me. :'(
Every single rock in my second town is in my way and I would do anything to get rid of them. And I really want to move my mayor's house. And I want to get rid of The Roost in my main town. And I want to keep both my towns nice and grassy -- no more ugly dirt spots! And I want to bypass the bush chain limit and move my town hall one space to the right and I WANT EVERYTHING I DON'T HAAAAVE

You can change your town name? The only hacking device I know of is Powersaves.....ah Powersaves. My friend is a huge hacker and he once corrupted his game from hacking so much. It wasn't ACNL though.

Not an option for me as I have European games and 3DS systems only but my friends have hacked their towns. I wouldn't mind being able to put things like the picnic blanket on the beach but it's not something I'm that fussed about. My friend did hack some items for me and put some on my island as well, I'll try to find the thread it was discussed in as I posted pictures.

i keep mine updated too but out of all my 3ds systems (I have literally all of them, I'm a handheld collector), I was able to find one with the correct firmware and I was sO happy.

yeah! it's not thru power saves which is probably why you're able to do it. I have a power save and I actually really don't like it????

the EU games can be edited too~! a friend of mine in England was able to do it successfully.

Ohh I had no idea .

A few more pictures of my island, now fully decorated :3

 

[regigiygas]

very nice! I love the roses

I'd love to hack my town. Back when Let's Go to the City was popular I tried all I could to hack my town but I didn't know what I was doing. I have absolutely nothing against hacking provided you're not harming anyone else. Hacking has many benefits.

Thanks :3, I actually took all the gold ones over myself one at a time and two blue roses which I then watered and grew there. The only minor problem I have is I watered them all with the golden can my friend put there and now my island won't stop spawning blue roses . I just keep moving the extras so they don't spoil the pattern I have.

I'd offer to water people's island hybrids or plant their money trees on the island on TBT as I can use my basket to transfer the tools but I'm not sure of the rules on posting that kind of offer.

thankfully, the software for hacking ACNL games doesn't work over wireless/Internet
so you can't ruin other peoples towns with building seeds (like in wild world)


the only game you can destroy is your own 8D
(and even that is difficult to do)




fancy: that would be neat! I edited my island thru something different, but it's not like I go on it much lol

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be interested if I ever found out how.

Your town looks really cool! I think personally I'm gonna see how much I can do within the regular realm of actions for a town first before I really think about hacking but yeah I can see why someone might wanna. I don't know if I think it would actually take any fun out of the game.

Wow, that's actually pretty cool. How did you even do that?

 

[Lualdara]

Your town and island look really cool! I personally wouldn't hack my game but I have nothing against people who do it on their own games or to help people. I just wish we could do that cool stuff legally, I really want houses and pwps on the beach and pond rocks and river bamboos...
