January 1st, 2016-The One Year Animal Crossing Challange Thread

I wish I could have join the challenge but I don't want to loose my dreamies maybe another time I will do it.....another time.......idk

OK, I know I'm the new guy around and you are the challenge creator, but if I can put my two cents (bells?) in: honestly I think using a save editor would clash with the spirit of the challenge, which is to learn to enjoy the game again within a supporting community and without too many worries (at least, that's how I understood the spirit). Not to mention the risk of corrupting your save file. Is having Rosie's house in a different spot so important to you? I'm not trying to be condescending, just an honest question.

This is how I feel about it, too. It's about how your town evolves naturally with as minimal *forced* input from you as possible (no TT, no plot resets, no buying villagers, no level editors, etc).

That being said as far as trading items/buying OP items (gold tools, rare furniture, and DLC items) I'm not completely against that because hey...that's the economy. Real as it gets.

Not gonna shame anyone that wishes to reset for *perfect* placement or anything, though. At the end of the day it's still your town and you're free to do with it as you wish.

Man, I wish I started yesterday like I planned to.
There are some items I can't bare to leave behind so I'm waiting for a friend to take them for me.

I know it's somewhat against the rules, but I'm doing like a 90% fresh restart.

Any of you guys have Apples? Mitzi wants one. I can give you 3 peaches for 3 apples.

I absolutely agree with you and it's kind of odd for me as a host to be doing something like this, but it's a very case-sensitive situation. Getting Rosie in the right spot is very important to me, so important that I reset my last town almost purely because she was in the wrong spot (and the fact that I tt'd four years into the past and back by accident).
This is a one-time thing, something I highly discourage others to do unless they're in a similar situation and it's a move that has it's risks. And it's not like it's something that's impossible to have otherwise, she would have gotten into the right spot had I not made that mistake. The only other way to fix it is to sixteen cycle & get a new rosie or have someone hold her for months, which really would make the challenge much less fun for me.
As long as I'm very careful I think everything should be alright.

Oh that reminds me. Eunice wants a pear. Anyone have pears?

 

[Mairmalade]

Oh I have pears! I have to double check to make sure I didn't wipe them all clean yesterday tho.

One sec

edit

Nope, wiped clean. Sorry.

When they grow back I'll make sure to set a few aside for you guys for future use

 

[EpicGamer12]

Got my approval rating up to 75% so far. Pretty determined to get 100% before I finish today. PS still looking for apples

EDIT- Oops I didn't see your above post

OK I understand, just be very careful with editing! Hope everything goes smoothly Also I have a few pears for you!

 

[MayorBlueRose]

95% on the citizen satisfaction! I can do this today!!!

 

[Mothership]

*points to post 199*

Anyways.....day 2 in Moonvale is starting off with a session of plot resetting to make sure no one lands in a horrible spot. Whee.
Been at it for an hour so far and they keep plotting in awkward spots. I'm not that picky, but blocking bridges or ramps or directly in front of buildings are no nos for my towns.

 

[RosieThePeppyCat]

Oh my goodness....I really wanted to do this!!!!


Could I possibly time travel once? I'll start my game on January 1st, and then I'll do some stuff and time travel to today. I really wanted to participate in this, but yesterday I was very busy. >.<

January 2nd - Day 2

Summary of today (no pictures):
- Agnes moved in. She's alright, pretty much the only Pig villager I'm OK with.
- Got my Approval Rating up to about 60 or so percent. Hopefully this will be finished up tomorrow!
- Went around talking to my villagers. They're stopping with the tutorial conversations.. slowly.
- Went around and dug up today's four fossils, found the ore rock, and the money rock.
- Went to the Able Sister's shop and found some nice clothes to replace the stuff I started the game with.
- Did some fishing and I caught about 7 new fish. Donated them all to the Museum!
- Went around town picking up flowers to start growing hybrids. Currently working on orange and purple roses to start getting blue roses. They'll take a looooong time, so I may as well start early.


I'll probably play this evening. Most likely villager chatting and fishing.

 

[EpicGamer12]

79% approval and my villagers aren't giving me any more jobs... I watered all the flowers, did all the basic stuff like town tune, town flag, museum donation, etc. I think because of new years my house upgrade didn't give me the 20 points it was supposed to.

I see no problem with this. I mean, it is only to catch up to the current date, right?

Yea. I'll wait for confirmation from the host before I start though

I know how you feel. I'm at 65% and my villagers aren't asking for my help. Well, Chief did.. but he wanted me to catch a Stringfish, of all things.

 

[Mothership]

Finally. Moonvale's 6th villager will be Beardo! I've never had him before, so getting to know him should be fun

Now I can finally load my Mayor and get on with my day!

 

[Squidward]

My 6th villager will be Curlos. I don't know how I feel about this.

Omg, I know, right?? Tangy keeps asking me to catch a Stringfish >.<

GAHHH! I'm only at 47% approval >.< . Any tips on raising my approval? I've talked to my villagers about 16 million times and gotten one or two requests. I completed them (except the Stringfish one) and I've been donating things and recycling things all day. I've sent one letter I think. I might send 2 or 3 more out, I don't know. But how can I raise it faster??
