If you buy a house from a raccoon, it won't charge interest.

don't screw up the grass by running all over it. Keep yo' environment nice. Plant lots of flowers and trees.

Be the amazing capitalist you always knew u could be.

It teaches many things, but one huge thing it teaches (mostly for little kids) is that sometimes good friends move away, and you may not see them again for a long time.

• friends (villagers) come and go
• sometimes your investments don't work out (turnips)
• lying doesn't get you rewards (getting gold/silver axe in city folk)
• make the most of every day before you're burdened with work (isabelle)
• creativity is great (designing shirts that villagers compliment)
• life doesn't always have instant rewards
• gardening can always bloom new possibilities
• writing letters is nicer than sending texts (pete)
• be kind to your parents (mum and dads letters)
• you can't go back on your decisions, and if you do there are consequences (resetti)
• enjoy the little things in life

I think ac teaches people social skills and how to learn how to deal with changes

 

[Legosass Newleaf]

I learned how to manage a bank account and pay off insane debt *cough* Tom nook.

Mortgages. Sure they are not EXACTLY how mortgages work irl but it introduces the idea to them and loans.

Just because I'm curious, in what way did loans get introduced? I thought you always had to work your butt off.

AC has briefly taught me about mortgage and loans. It has also taught me a lot about bugs, fossils and fish. I can now distinguish almost all the species and I never have before c: I never knew what a cicada was but now whenever its summer and theyre outside I just think of how theyre in Animal Crossing too cx

 

[Seroja]

Names of fishes, bugs and dinosaurs.

Fruit is really good and you should eat lots.

 

[Mash]

Lots of things! Like loans and such. And money management. Oh, and fish,bugs, and fossils!

 

[Buttonsy]

I don't know if someone has already pointed this out yet (I'm a little too sleepy to read all 6 pages of the thread), but you can learn actually learn quite a bit about insects, dinosaurs, and fish from the museum!!

 

[Koi-san]

friendship, best thing about animal crossing, no one has ever noticed it or pointed it out,I love it how when you befriend sable she becomes more open to you, or you become closer to your villagers, it shows that friendship is an important thing, and that its OK to talk to random strangers and chat with them.

 

[Nadine]

That it only takes 3 days to get a full grown tree, my pockets fit even the largest of items, and that a pink llama can give me so much money for all of my useless junk.

But seriously, it's taught some lessons about friendship, budgeting and creativity.

 

[jakeypride]

sharks can apparently go near shore

...What? They do that all the time.

 

[drowningfairies]

To take care of the nature surrounding you, and to be nice to everyone.

Oh and that animals have feelings.

 

[fosterfarms]
