I'm ready for anything!

I have a question (sorry if it's already been asked, I don't want to scroll through 40+ pages to find it) but can you re-color wall/flooring? It wouldn't make sense if you could change for example the lovely series to be black-pink, but the wallpaper and floor would not really match, same with changing the rococo series to pink. I don't want to have ugly brown carpet and wallpaper.

It's been answered before, and no, you can't re-color or re-make carpet and wallpaper

you cannot recolour wall or flooring

So if you can't recolor it.. Can you make your own wallpaper? I'm not talking about like before where it was just a square pattern and it was tiled across the room, I mean legit like make really intricate wallpaper/flooring

No. Just a tile repeated.

Thanks Zen, but I don't quite see the point in recoloring furniture if you can't remake flooring and walls :/ then you couldn't tie the room together. Well I guess I'll have to find alternative wallpaper or stick with the original

There are a ton of alternative wallpapers. Besides, it's not imperative to have the floor/wall as part of the theme anyway. It only earns an extra 1k points for the HRA.

Yea, too bad. I wanted to remake the Near Future Series into the black and blue version, but I'll be keeping to orange default. I do like how the chalkboard can change what's on them depending on the remake.

However, I heard that remade pieces don't count to HRA totals.

It actually has not and judging by your avatar, you love halloween xD

Halloween is a fantastic event that is quite active. Think of the things you have to do as a cross between the harvest festival (running to houses) and christmas (learning about the villagers). I'll start explaining the gist of it. I'd rather not type an entire guide, though I could since it (the guide) is at my fingertips literally. Here we go.

October 1-7
During this week, the Pumpkin king will stop by your town and talk to you. You may or may not have to find him. He will tell you to purchase as much Halloween masks from Able's and as much candy as you can hold at Nook's. He'll tell you that you need to use the masks to scare villagers on halloween and candy will be used as prizes for the villagers.

October 1-30
During this month, talk to your villagers. You will learn about what they like and what they are scared of. There are 6 masks and they are scared of most of them, tough against others, and extremely scared of one. You want to find out which they are extremely scared of.

October 31 (6pm-12am) Time for the event!!
Most of your villagers will be in their houses. These are the ones you need to scare. The others will be wandering around your town looking for you. They will get you and they will trick you. They are all dressed as the Pumpkin King. Why? Because the Pumpkin King is also wandering around.

Your jobs:

- Halt the impostors
- Scare the indoor villagers
- Find the real Pumpkin King (difficult since the impostors and him reset when you enter/exit a building)
- Get lollipops

Lollipops?
Yes, lollipops. You can't buy these. You can get them from scaring the **** out of the indoor villagers. You give these to the real Pumpkin King and he'll give you a piece of the Horror set. The Horror set is unorderable, the pumpkin/halloween set is orderable and you can buy it at nook's during October.

The Pumpkin King loves lollipops and is more than happy to part with his Horror set for one.

He also likes candy but will only trade Halloween furniture, masks, or extra clothing. Rarely though, he will trade a horror piece for candy. It's very rare and it's a waste to keep trying candy for it.

You can get candy for failing to scare the villagers. They will play a game with you when you fail and will give you a candy if you win. If you choose the mask they are tough against, or you lose their game, they will do a trick on you. Tricks depend on the villagers.

The fake Kings outside will try to catch you and will play a game with you or just do a trick. Same rules -- you win, candy; not, trick.

It's an extremely fun event and I hope that everyone takes the 6 hours that it takes just playing as much as they can.

Wow. Thank you! Halloween sounds awesome!

 

[Officer Berri]

Wow! That's what Halloween is going to be like now?! That is awesome. Color me impressed. I love the idea of expanding upon the holidays so they become more interesting have more to them than before. I'm even more excited now!

Could someone explain how the pattern stuff works? Like do you HAVE to have the pattern on you when laying them on the ground or remaking them into furniture patterns? Or does it go blank when you put them in the storage?

I could be wrong, but I'm going off of what the case was with City Folk...
For patterns placed on the ground and for patterns that you wear, you have to have the patterns with you and not just in storage.
I'm assuming that when you choose a pattern for furniture or a sign board or something, you have to have the patterns on you, but you can put it back in storage after you choose which one you want and the furniture won't change as a result.

I'm mostly just guessing though :I so someone please correct me if I'm wrong

Unfortunately, customized furnitures with a design can change if you decide to modify the used design. They appear as yellow leaf and the only way to trade them is to set these furnitures on Re-Tail. If you do that, the used design will stay unmodified no matter what you do. If you pick it again, it'll ask you to occupy a slot on your Design Menu.

The black/blue remake looks great with the original wall/floor. I know since I have a room with that in it.

And remade pieces count toward HRA totals. Why would you think they wouldn't?

Yes, one question: can you actually read that stuff?

I'm assuming you're talking to me and by "that stuff" you mean Japanese.

If so, then yes. I can. I live and work in Japan.

 

[Mary]

Okay. I would love to learn someday. The Japanese culture intrigues me. My friends think I'm a nutcase because I watch Japanese movies with english subtitles. I wish my school offered Japanese classes instead of Spanish. That'd be way cool!

 

[ACking]

Does the guide have exact dates the outside changes? Like from snow to grass or winter trees to spring trees? Sorry if already been asked.

Never too late to start. Tons of references out there Don't wait!

It does. But I do like the surprise. If it helps, the leaves change to green on January 16th.

Thanks!
