• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

Public Works Projects

Can anyone tell me how to unlock the police station? Or does it just get randomly requested by a villager with a certain nature? My town is perfect already, but I still don't have the police station. 8D

It's a request. Just wait it out. It's not helpful anyway.
 
I really want fairy tale everything but I'm not sure which lamps i should go for because I like the fairy tale lamps but I also like the regular ones. I want a classic police station cuz I love booker and a flower clock and a picnic set by the water fall
 
I can't decide which projects I want done *_* There's so many that I want! I like the fairy tale themed things but how can I get a police station to fit in for example?
 
I think I'm just going to have a bunch of the same community projects around. For example, maybe a bunch of lampposts and benches, rather than a slew of random items that don't really go together in any way. I think it looks messy and crowded with a mix of random things. I really can't see myself putting in something like a balloon arch or a Sphinx; it just looks so stupid and tacky. But that's just me. :p

And Jake, that "instrument shelter" is actually a weather station. Refer to this entry on the Sosostris blog. It's a pretty cool and useful community project; it actually forecasts the weather for the day.
 
Sorry this sounds rude;

We've already been through the instrument shelter being a weather box, I just haven't bothered to change it.

Ah, okay. I just assumed you didn't know because it was still listed as an instrument shelter. Sorry.
 
I'm defo installing the instrument shelter but from what I've translated of what 'predictions' it gives... It just gives stupid stuff.

Meh.

THAT'S WHAT IT DOES?! That is freaking awesome!
 
I just got more excited by looking at this list because I will have more reason to keep playing and keep earning bells becasue there is SO much to spend it on :)
 
I just found that Animal Forest e+ had something resembling community projects. Furthermore, it apppears that a few of them managed to resurface in this game. Too bad they didn't all return. Maybe Nintendo will release the other DnMe+ town decorations as DLC community projects.
 
Thank you for the information in this thread!

I had a couple questions, namely: Can you turn the community projects? As in, can you have a sideways bench? Or a backwards bench, as in one that faces another direction? Also how close can things be built next to each other? Can I have a light post next to my house? Or one square away? and is it the same for everything?
 
You can't rotate any of them, thats the first thing I wanted to do, have benches facing a fountain, but then I found out all benches face south, just like all houses etc. I cried.
 
I don't see it here, but I remember seeing a yoshi egg community project in some scan a while back. Maybe there will be DLC for it? Or was it just showing community projects from e+...

I'm pretty sure the yoshi egg is a furniture you can get from a fortune cookie. But idk much about the "community projects" from e+ so maybe. But definetly(cant spell) not in NL. We would have seen it by now.

Thanks for the reply! That's what I wanted to do as well! That's really too bad, Nintendo should have thought of this one I think. Anyways, what about placement? Do you know if I can place a lamppost next to my house? Or one square away? is it the same for every community project (in regards to required spacing-distance?)
