The one year challenge

[Libra]

Someone else who is super late, but here we go:

View attachment 81392​

In all honesty, I won't be following the rules of this challenge 100% given that I'm transferring some things and I'll obviously do some TT'ing to catch up to the current date. Oh, and I'll be plot-resetting. It would drive me crazy not to, so yeah. ^_~

However, I do plan to play for one year and once I'm on the current date, I'll stop TT'ing. I'm also going to try to complete all four museum collections this time. In my previous town, I completed the art and fossils ones, but I never really bothered with the fish and insects. x_x

I'll post an update later and I'll also try to get a decent picture of my map. And I'd also like to thank Trickilicky again for all her help and advice. You've made me really want to play again and you're super sweet. You rock! <3

Some info about my town; it has a blue train station and apples as a native fruit (those two were the only things I really wanted). It has lots of space and I'm very happy with it. I did have my doubts about it for a while, but Trickilicky gave me some ideas and I think I can really make this town work (something I somehow couldn't do with my previous one).

Starting villagers are Filbert, Deena, Vic, Purrl and Bill. Next to move in will be Pashmina (took me forever to make her plot show up, fortunately it's in a good place!). So currently six villagers, which means three more to go. I have to say I really like Filbert; he's cute and adorable. He got a brown shirt/vest from Purrl today and it looks so good on him. I'll have to remember to get a picture of that! ^_^

That sounds like a good idea, every monday post an update of something you're working on or maybe just something which has changed.

I'll make my post in a little bit then :3

Today in Navidson:

-did a bit of landscaping
-fountain PWP was built
-set up fairy tale clock PWP
-got the bronze medalist badge
-no hybrids again
-got the silver net, finally

It was a pretty uneventful day. I can't wait until I'm eligible for the silver axe so that I can chop down more trees. Also, I really want this snow gone. D;

Today I accomplished a couple things.

I managed to recreate the area around Diana's house. Thankfully she left me able to use my original path plan AND she's perfectly lined up with Punchy so I guess she can stick around for a bit.

I've been working on my back room. Going to keep my house as is for a while (upstairs, basement, backroom) since I don't feel I need a bigger size at all.

I paid off my house loan and got a sweets mailbox. Still looking for the sweets roof. Hopefully tomorrow is luckier xD

The silver axe is sold at the island but it's very rare. If you haven't seen it at your own island maybe do some Club Tortimer traveling? Anyway, I recommend buying a lot of them when you see them cause they still break.

And then the gold axe doesn't break at all, but you gotta buy like 50 saplings? For it. I haven't unlocked it on my own since I haven't been too diligent about buying saplings. But I did buy a gold axe from some dude on reddit so let me know if you wanna borrow it. You can take it to your town and return it to me once you've finished cutting down what you need to cut down.

Anyway, sorry I haven't made an update yesterday or today. I've been playing but have also been busy with chores. And have also been a little bummed out because I sold my gold shovel to Reese and by the time I had noticed it was too late to reset (I had already saved) Luckily it wasn't super expensive, but it still felt like a lot of money since Satan is actually kinda poor. Here is to hoping that my turnip purchases pay up well 8C

Good to see I'm not the only latecomer Thanks for the welcomes.

My town is called Oldale :B

Haha, what coincidence.
I bet your town is ten times more interesting than the actual Oldale town.

Holy crap 10/10 on the villagers could not have done much better
so like if you ever decide you don't want bam hit me up because i want the colorful villagers

Thanks!
I already love Bam He's so cute.

It's a holiday so I couldn't get any progress done on actual Mayor activities on the first day but I did get my down payment paid off. It's so amusing going back to getting money by picking up seashells on the beach after using turnips or the island for money for so long.

I also managed to plant the perfect orange! I know this sounds weird to mention, but you would not believe how I've managed to destroy the one perfect fruit you get at the start for both my previous towns. The first one I ate without realizing its importance, and then the second I built over it ;___; So yeah, I haven't had a great relationship with fruit.

Not really big on my layout, it has too much river imo. I was going for a layout with less river but also with Re-Tail close to the Beach. There needs to be a bridge connecting the town plaza and the town hall as soon as possible.

The main reason I settled for this though was the villagers I had. The town station being green was also a nice bonus. Sprinkle and Bam are my two favorites at the moment, though all of them are really cute. The other villagers I started with are Mint, Mable, and Chester.

I pretty much bought out the Nookling store and ended the day with this. It's so messy! I don't have any theme plans at the moment, but I'm sure that by the time I get enough room in the house I'll figure out what to do with it.

I'm getting another room added to my house tomorrow, but I think I'm gonna skip bug hunting tonight. I just don't feel up for it. I did a bunch of tours earlier, though, so I guess that makes up for it.

Your tent actually looks better than my house haha. I love your map too --I messed up with perfect fruit on my first town (Eclair) also. Planted it too close to my house so it didnt grow.

Guys, I have an idea?

Every week we could all post a picture of a favourite part of our town to show how our towns are developing? :O


Also Deena jsut requested the flower Arch

I like this idea!! It's so fun to watch everyone's town develop together ^~^
Maybe Saturday/Sunday would be better though since Monday's a work/school day? Idk, it might not make much difference, but I'm going to try to do this on Sundays

I'll do the first one in just a little bit tho

And I envy your flower arch. I need that PWP. :c

- - - Post Merge - - -

there aren't many nice places around my town as of this week, but I'm getting there.
so far I did a bit of landscaping around Whitney's house, and I plan to turn it into a tiny forest with the campsite somewhat nearby. I want the village to have a flowery, garden-ish sort of feel, so just this one area is going to be foresty :/

taa-daa!



a WIP for sure, but oh well.
need moar cedar trees :K

 

[Punchyleaf]

The area directly next to my house ^~^ my villagers like to gather here now that I put a path down lol

 

[00jachna]

Hello everyone! I'm about to head of the school
But when I get back I'd love for someone to help me landscape my town! I've basicly only done one area and then I got stuck lol

Yeah the weekend is a better time imo. I like the idea, I'll post as soon as I've something to post about

 

[Colour Bandit]

I feel very silly right now... I paid of my first loan yesterday, but I forgot to talk to Nook afterwards!!! Gah, I'm now stuck with my tiny house for another day.

On the bright side though Tortimer has showed up and wants to talk about the island, gonna be getting rich soon guys!

 

[TaMock]

funny enough i started my town on the first of january just because i thought it would be easy to track how long i have been using it

 

[00jachna]

Anyone who wants to help me landscape?
