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

How did you get the island so soon?

Might be possible depending on timezone? To my knowledge it would have to go:

10K paid day one. Tent gone day two. Paid for first house expansion day two with it being complete on day three. Talk to Tortimer on day three and have the island available on day four.

Been awhile, though.
 
Finally got 100% approval.

I started yesterday and got stuck at 63%, but came back the next day and was at 100%, so that was nice.

also o'hare is ADORABLE
 
If anyone is having trouble with the Development permit, just grab an inventory full of flowers, replant them and water them. Grab them again and relocate them and repeat the process. It is a grind but it works.
 
I've finally picked my dreamies! I've got a few doubts about how well Hazel fits with the rest... but oh my god I love her cute little unibrow and her cinnamon bun tail. ;^;

All that remains is to actually make my town... If only Rover would grace me with a good map.

What are the qualities as a "good" map? Sounds like preference to me. Also it's like, day 3 so Rover is definitely trolling you.

I have Diana in my main town, if she decides to move I'll gift her to you! She's not one of my dreamies and was supposed to stay only temporarily anyway.

It is just a matter of preference, really... I was using "good map" as shorthand for "a map that suits my criteria."

What I'm looking for:

-lots of ponds (for more fireflies in summer, because that's when I want to set my dream address)
-apples, peaches, or cherries
-triangle patterned grass (so that the snow will be star-patterned)
-s shaped river
-private beach
-long vertical stretch of beach
-south facing waterfall
-blue or brown train station
-good distance between Re-Tail, plaza, and town hall; Re-Tail preferably close to the beach

Some of these things are less critical than others... I'd take a town with a small number of ponds or a different grass pattern of it fit my other criteria. Also, it's only day 1 for me, as I started late.

@ fenris..if you want star snow then you need circle grass

Annnd did quite a bit of fishing tonight in Moonvale. It's so cute when the villagers clap for you when you catch something :) Although it's not so cute when they clap after I caught trash :p

Huh. The wiki said triangle grass would produce star snow. Weird.

Either way, this time of year, I'll be seeing snow rather than grass anyway, so it'll be easy to find what I want. :p
 
I made a perfect snowboy yesterday in Farebury! I also saw Merengue hanging out with Apollo at his house (so cute). I also payed off my first house payment of 39,800 Bells. : )
 
I think I've got my map. It's not perfect... there's only one pond, the snow isn't star-shaped, and the train station is red (ick).

But the native fruit is peaches, and Chief, one of my favorites from Matcha 2.0, is one of my starters... not only that, but his house is right above the private beach, next to the spot where I want to put mine. Lolly is another one... she was one of my starters in Matcha 2.0, and I adopted her out to a friend and wound up bonding with her while visiting said friend's town.

Needless to say, if I keep this map (I'm strongly considering it), my dreamie list will be getting some alterations.

Haha, my current map had some stuff to be desired, but I kept it because it had Chief as well, and it wasn't that bad of a map. XD

You should post a picture if you have one!
