One day at a time, slow and steady, and I'm happy with the experience. It's very relaxing. I do thrive on little pockets of excitement that are the holiday events, or when I have room in Zingzang for a new villager to move in. I have 8 residents right now, so I'm excited. :)

Depends. Some days I only play for a few minutes, some days I play hours, some days I don't have time to play at all.

I have rushed in some ways and am slow in others. I haven't hit perfect town yet, but only because I've been building my PWPs very slowly. I finished paying off my house back in July though. I also have a huge amount of items in my catalog.
 
I don't like unlocking things quick. I am taking my time on my house. I wont upgrade until I have items for that room. I sometimes play a few minutes a day to do my daily chores or I will go for hours. Depends what day and what mood I'm in.
 
I try to play as much as I can, hour, a few hours, exploring the town and see what else there is to do, items to obtain for my catalog which is huge ATM, or new things my residents have to say. I'm constantly planting flowers to give my town a "wildflower" feel to it, unlike others that put them in patterns, although I leave some area's natural, don't wanna go overboard lol. My town has had a perfect rating since August and I constantly maintain everything to keep it that way. I'm always changing my interior, I'm full of idea's for rooms and I love exploring the possibilities for room decorating and combinations. My main street finally got the emporium so I try to visit there everyday to check out the Gracie collections every season(this season is her "Sweets" collection) to get more room idea's, check inventory for my catalog and buy the fertilizer bag everyday to finally get the golden shovel. Also check out the other shops for inventory and befriend the owners. Does Kicks become anymore friendlier than he is now? He seems a bit stingy still and it's been that way for a while lol. Also check the museum, dream a bit when I wanna visit random towns, check out Club LOL for updates on my joke book, and so much more! OMG this game is so amazingly deep and there's so much to do, I love it. I can go on and on, but these are the basics of what I do everyday. It's like an adventure, you never know whats gonna happen next!
 
Slow and steady, plays at least for a few minutes everyday. Depends on my mood. I'm currently not in the mood, so I haven't played much. But when I got into the mood....

the only time I realized it was night is the sun setting down on Animal Crossing....
 
I play for hours. Altho there was definitely that initial rush to unlock things, I didn't play to unlock once I "finished" my house. Now I just play to relax, zone out before the end of the day. I like to wait for Dotty or Mira to ping me. I love the little dance they do. I don't think I've skipped a day playing, because it's very fun collecting fossils, even tho I've finished the museum. We'll see how things work out next week when X/Y get released...
