Glitch/hack towns?

There are purists for every game and Animal Crossing is no exception. People flip their lid over modding PC games as well, it's very silly. You play your game how you want to play it. If you want to hack it, hack it! Enjoy. I'm too lazy to sit down and figure out how to do it but if I was ever struck with the motivation to learn, I can think of a few rocks and ponds I'd get rid of, absolutely. /shrug

People also get super up in arms about time travel, some about plot resetting... saying the game should be played "how it's meant to be played" and pfffff. You paid for the game, you do whatever you want with the thing. I would just be worried about the stability of my game if it was really heavy on the hacks. That's all.

I think I remember seeing a post on tumblr saying that hacking "ruins the financial infrastructure of the game for everyone else and to please think before being selfish" like lmaaoooooo okay "financial infrasturcture" sure

I actually think I saw the same one last night! I wish I had a link to it, but Im sure itll show up on my dash again

Im not sure what "financial infrastructure" they're talking about, maybe selling/buying/trading with other players? Nor do I understand how its selfish. Ive actually seen quite a few people who have hacked their games, and theyre helping people get wanted items. If thats selfish then I dont want to know that persons definition of selfless. For me its one of those where its not that persons game so I dont see how its effecting them as greatly as they claim it is. Honestly I find the hacking really amusing because its neat to see how creative people can get with this new found freedom

tbh i risked it anyway because i wasnt super thrilled with my town or where my villagers were.
my train of thought was, if worse comes to worst, i'll reset. no big deal.

but i took my time to read and fully understand how to do the things and there's really not a whole lot of risk if you read the instructions carefully.



and "financial infrastructure" my left buttcheek
imo the hacking is more about people getting the town they want than it is about getting the items, you know?
getting bells to expand your house and buy nice furniture is a part of the fun, but if you aren't happy with your town then it's like you don't even want to try.

I would love to just be able to put pwp's wherever I like, or some houses on the beach. ;_; If only I'd known about this before updating Wish there was a workaround. >.< What if you did the editing using someone else's DS who hasn't upgraded, and then pop the cartridge back into your own ?

this is how i did it with my sisters town.
