Gracie has never been in my town?

[kiyyie]

Am I missing something here? I haven't seen Gracie in my town ONCE and I really want to expand to T&T Emporium but I can't without getting her fashion checks!

I've been playing since June and I've had a perfect town for over a month and yet she still hasn't come... Do I need to change something in order for her to come? I am wearing QR code clothes.... that might have something to do with it?

Any help is appreciated

Gracie doesn't have anything to do with perfect town: it has to do with how much you've spent at TIY. Think tens of thousands of bells. For me, it took probably 6 weeks after I got TIY for her to show up for the first time, since I'm not a huge buyer.

Ahh I see.. Now I just want to buy everything from TIY everyday xD. I'm so ready for the Emporium TT_TT

You need to have spent at least 100k for her to show up, and when she shows up is completely random~ If you have an expensive item in your catalog like the Black Katana, you could order a couple and you would know for sure that you've spent 100k. :3

Okay cool thanks! I'm gonna start buying everything from TIY until she shows up... good for my catalog at least xD.

At 70k spent she shows up; at 100k the Emporium can open if you've passed the fashion checks.

I'm not sure if catalog purchases count; does anyone know for sure?

I don't think it does, can't say for sure though. I just bought out everything in the store that counted for it until I finally saw Gracie at the plaza.

I believe it does. A little while ago I seen people say that's how they did it.

I assumed they probably didn't because in previous games they've never counted towards points or upgrading. But if they do that would make it easier!

Its an easy time of year to spent a lot in the shop with all the halloween furniture and carpet and wallpaper. If you also buy the record you can easily spent like 10k a day. I`ve been doing that for quite a while now so I expect Gracie to show up soon.
