Silliest thing you did as an AC newbie.

[Candy_Rose]

I remember when I FIRST started playing AC for the gamecube, eating all the fruits because I thought the player would starve if they didn't eat. The first time I had no fruits in my town, I panicked and wondered if my player would be Okay.

Another thing I did was time travel REALLY FAR in the future because I thought it would make the town all cool and futuristic looking. 12 year old me learned the hard way that it was NOT the case and my town had weeds and roaches everywhere! I cried thinking my town was ruined and tried to time travel backwards to undo it and it didn't work! I learned that you had to pick the weeds, so I begged my mom (who was also an AC player) to pull them for me.

What were some of the silliest things you did/thought when you first played?

Kind of similar to you! I time traveled really far forward, like eighteen years, and cried when my town was ruined.

I've stupidly thrown out duplicate pictures (well, actually I sold them to Reese for cheap) because I thought, "I already have their photo; why would I need another one?" Now I know how much people will pay for pictures, so I hang on to them. D'oh!

The first time i played AC, i thought i wasn't allowed to shake the trees and eat the fruits. I thought that would be stealing because they might belong to someone else haha. So i left fruits pretty much alone orz

Wow. I'm gonna save this information for later. Thanks for posting this, or I would be making the same mistake!

-Cut down all the trees just for fun.
-Getting stung by bees on purpose.
-Not saving on purpose because seeing Resetti raging was hilarious.
-Making villagers upset on purpose because it was hilarious.
-Crushing snowballs because I liked the noise/it was fun.

That's all I can think of. I did all of this when I first started WW.

I was scared of Rasher so I never talked to him. (WW)

Being completely freaked out the first time I got the gyroid face in Animal Crossing Gamecube.

When i first got AC Wild World, I didn't realise that Kapp'n was taking me to a town, so i told him i wanted to go to the mall. Thus my town was named "mall" for the next 5 years xD. To be fair my town's name in ACNL is just as bad, I'm so unoriginal.

I once accidentally sold my fishing rod and i had to wait about 3 or so days to get a new one, because i accidentally sold it to reese.

This made me actually laugh cx

I put a lot of shirts in my house, so much so it became shirt heaven within 2 or 3 weeks.

I've done a lot of things... mostly, like you, would time travel really far. I also used to share the GameCube version with some of my siblings way back when, and I would always like to steal their furniture for my house or mess up their homes. I also would, of course, beat up all my villagers with nets and push them around, thinking they would leave! I used to like to dig holes everywhere, too, for whatever reason. Needless to say, but that town was not pretty.

 

[Goop]

Ahh, I had time traveled forwards and would continuously shut the game off without saving just to purposefully upset Resetti. :3
I also never really took care of my town and chopped all my trees down once, ha.​

When I first started playing WW, I was very young and was completely oblivious to what any of the fish looked like. Before I caught the sunfish, I was thinking about how bright and yellow and colorful it would be (I was really taking its name too seriously lol), and when I finally got one I was so disappointed that it was just blue :<

Also when I had let my town become too much of a dump, I saw a rafflesia behind Nook's shop and freaked out! I didn't know what it was and for the next few months I couldn't figure out how to get rid of it until I pulled up the weeds =_=;

 

[matcha]

i sold my only perfect apple in my first new leaf save file because they sold for more.
600 bells wasn't much of a deal...

 

[brutalitea]

I don't remember doing anything particularly stupid in WW... Dumbest thing I've done so far in NL is not know that fruits now stack so it took me forever to sell all of my fruits to Reese.

Hah. That's hilarious!


And hah there was a point in my gamecube town where I chopped down all my trees. I didn't realize how HARD it was to get them back because Nook only sold like one or two trees at a time ._.

ACNL was my first game and I had a lot of friends who played it so they pretty much told me the basics of the game and what to do/what not to do. I didn't know about "unorderable" items though because I had no idea the catalog was even a thing so whenever I got DLC that I didn't want because it didn't fit my house I would just sell it to re-tail. The worst is that I even changed a lot of my house interior and those items would have fit.

I managed to get nearly all the DLC I want through a secondary cycling TT'ing town and just buying items here on TBT but still, I just felt so stupid once I learned about that. I also sold a bunch of island/rare items my fiance gave me and ate perfect fruit. Why acnl noob me. Why.
