Silliest thing you did as an AC newbie.

[ACupOfTea]

My friend and I both played Wild World and we always fought about Wolfgang and how he was our boyfriend. Then, I never donated to the museum because I didn't like Blathers. I also enjoyed hitting villagers with my shovel and net.

 

[PlasmaPower]

I sold the only perfect fruit in my first town, mainly because the game didn't explain to me that I could plant them and make perfect fruit trees.

 

[Locket]

ACCF: A what and a how do I save? Work at Nooks took about a month because I didn't know that XD.

 

[Chiana]

I ate my first perfect fruit, thinking it would be super nutritious or something and maybe give me some sort of power.

I did not know you could put more than one tune in a player. I had those little musical notes all over my beach in case I wanted to change the music in my house. My best friend visited a few times and then one day messaged me saying, "You do know you can put more than one tune in your player, right?" Nope.

I was concerned about posting my FC online in case I suddenly found people I did not know running all over my town

 

[Cold~]

I used to run everywhere all the time, until I learned what desertification is.

This. I was so paranoid for a while and I was afraid people would be able to find out where I lived and stuff.

I, too, had to learn the hard way that you only get one perfect fruit at the beginning of the game.

 

[WhiskeyTortoise]

I, like many others, sold my first perfect fruit. I now must suffer for all eternity trying to grow another one using fertilizer. I'll get one eventually. I hope.

 

[Ninja_Fridge]

In Wild World whenever it was flea market i would sometimes try to sell stuff for 1 mil bells and whenever somebody brought something for a low price and said "i would of payed 1 million bells for this" i would get angry lol

 

[Cherry-Blossoms]

I have a long list of things that 10 year old me did

Thought a raffesia was normal
Had no idea that nookling junction could upgrade
Thought that resetti was a guinea pig ( this one is really stupid xD )
Thought that villagers could marry ( after someone talked about rumours that two villagers liked each other )
Thought that I could destroy people's towns from the dream world ( It took me 6 months to realise that )

 

[Bulbadragon]

Back when I made my first town in Wild World (named Texas for reasons I don't remember), I never knew how to catch fish. I don't know why younger me found it so hard to figure it out. But on the plus side, I somehow managed to fully expand my house without ever using fish as a way to earn money.

 

[Cherry-Blossoms]

When I was a noob to online trading, I thought you had to exit your game completely to enter someone else's FC. Lmfao.

So did I!

 

[Karminny]

Omg! ^^

 

[thetreeismine]

I thought Tom nook would murder me if I used the store while working for him and I thought Mr. Resetti would actually delete your file if you didn't save.... I think I also thought that Camo planted a rafflesia and that it would be mean to get rid of it but one day I tried to and I couldn't.... Good times..... I think

I think the Tom Nook speculation that you had is my favorite

 

[pearly19]

ahahahah all the responses are so cute and funny! Im so glad you made this thread! Im sad that I did not know about animal crossing until last may!

 

[kelsa]

ac:nl was my first ac game, so i rly didn't know much abt it. i would dig up fossils and just sell them to Reese, not knowing there was a freaking museum. oh also on my first copy (that i ofc lost) i caught a coelecanth on the first day and just sold it, again not knowing abt the museum and that coelecanths are rare af. pretty much just selling things that i should not have sold.

edit: whoops didn't realize they bumped an old thread.

 

[DarkDesertFox]

The Post-op Patch was my best friend at the beginning of New Leaf. I got stung by bees almost every day and had to put it on.

 

[Shimmer]

In Wild World when you were working for Tom Nook and had to post an ad for his shop on the bulletin board, I thought that he could actually read it so I actually put an ad on the board. I didn't want him to get angry with me. XD

 

[Earth Wolf-Howl]

I haven't really done anything too silly in AC, aside from being unable to catch a bee for about ten years or more because of my brother got stung by them when I was a kid, which absolutely terrified me It only later struck me to turn my volume down.

However, I do have a particular stand out a moment. The first time my aforementioned brother played the game, I speculated to myself that his character was a hybrid between a bull and human because of that weird hat. I later learnt that it was hair.

 

[Shimmer]

In Wild World, I thought that villagers would actually get mad at you and hold grudges if you turned down anything they asked you. So I would do EVERYTHING they asked for. XD
