I have to say that even though it's only the third day of this challenge, I'm really enjoying it! I didn't remember how much nicer it is to play without time travelling and trying to get the landscaping done as fast as possible. Now I have time to enjoy all the everyday things of this game, unlike when I TTd. It's so relaxing to just fish, catch bugs, visit the shops and talk to villagers.
This time around I'm just going to take it slow with this game. No rushing to get things done, I'm just going to advance with my own pace. I'm also thinking that I won't be using this forum for buying things much. It might actually be nicer to play with what the game gives me, like using the furniture I find from the shops instead of buying specific things from the forum. I'll still buy and trade SOME stuff, but only something special like DLCs and such. Not yet, though, I'll just let my plans for my town to evolve first!
Today I managed to get finally get my development permit! I was really surprised about this. When I quit playing yesterday night, my persentage was 71, but after playing for about half an hour today, it was full 100! Does anyone know if you get the points from the house upgrade only after your house has actually upgraded? I thought it was when the down payment was made but if it was the other way around, it would explain the quick rise to 100.
Anyway, after that I hung out with the neighbors and stopped by Charlise's house to welcome her. I donated to the museum and the usual. Then built a Snowmam and catched some snowflakes. I don't think I'm going to sell the Ice Set because I really like it. I'll probably just give her enough snowflakes to get duplicates and sell them instead.
That's about it from me.
Looking forwar to hear your updates!
I finally found my copy yesterday! (*~▽~)
My town has a beautiful layout, brown train station and apples as the native fruit! My starters are Beau, Bruce, Merry, Alli, and Sterling. I love Beau and Bruce, and Merry is quite cute ! (◡‿◡✿)
Because I started yesterday, my first villager is moving in tomorrow, and I got Tia! I am so happy with her. I love almost every normal anyway but Tia is one of my favourites. She's also a dreamie! I hope I get Graham as a smug and Hazel as an uchi <3
I posted a bit about it on my brand new acnl tumblr! http://shiroppy.tumblr.com/
I'm glad you found your copy! I think your starting villagers are great, espacially Sterling! He's just so cool, an armor-wearing eagle knight! Congrats on getting Tia, too.
Thanks for posting your tumblr here! It's interesting to read how people will do with this challenge. Hopefully more people will start blogs on this. I made a tumblr too but it's complicated so I haven't posted anything yet, eheh. I think I'll still stick with tumblr because that way it's easier to follow the ACNL tumblrs over there.
Question for all of you (I could post it elsewhere, but I figured this would be a good place too ^_^); do you plan on getting the campsite? I'm going to reset soon and I can't decide whether I want it or not. I have it in my current town but I had the brilliant idea of placing it right next to the cliff, so there is literally a huge wall, one free tile and then the campsite, and I was never able to make it look "pretty". x_x
I do like it when there's a camper (especially in Winter; I love the igloo!), but when there's no camper, it just looks so "bleh" to me. x_x Decisions, decisions, decisions,... -_-'
I was thinking about this too yesterday. It sure would be nice to be able to get villagers from the campsite. If you think so too, I fon't see why not build it. If you don't like how the campsite looks all by itself, you can always decorate the environment around it to make it look nice. Personally I think that people have done amazing job with their campsite areas! Even if a campsite area wouldn't really fit the theme of your town, you could always hide it in a remote corner where it wouldn't bother you that much.
That is at least how I feel. I decided that I'll be building it in my town as I think it'll fit the theme of my town. But you still have time to think about it some more!
My town fruit is cherries which I'm happy about, and my map has lots and lots of space for landscaping and gardening! I'm very glad I decided to do this and can't wait to see what the next year brings! Cheers all ~
