Things you didn't know about forever?

Recently I went to main street while my gate was open and noticed that the light on the photo booth (next to the museum) was red instead of green like usual!I didn't try entering, but I suppose that means you cannot take a new pic to the TPC while the gates are open. Never knew that!

I have mine all in alphabetical order, because I'm a nerd like that.
I have mine in a weird order. It starts with the happy ones to the neutral ones to the sad ones then the angry ones

Oh, dear, is my face red. 
Today, as I was looking through my mayor's catalog at Nooks and marking off the tops he has, and still needs, in Moridb, I finally realized why the villagers are always giving me, and everyone else, tops. How many tops would I have cataloged if they hadn't given me probably hundreds? There are 491 tops...I like far less than that, can't even guess how many. So they are actually helping us fill our catalogs! What a DUH that I never thought of before!

oh my gosh that's so cute...
That was the first thing my grandson, 8, taught me when he introduced me to New Leaf. I have no idea how/where he learned it!

I’ve been catching bugs the wrong way for years!
care to explain lol? (I think I might be doing it the wrong way)
I didn't know I could re-order things from the catalog.

Bluebellie is talking about "sneak mode," she calls it. While holding your net, come up to a bug on a tree a little bit close. Then hold down the 'a' button, and your character will very carefully approach the bug in a sort of crouch position. When you are in the right place, let go of a, and the net swipes up the bug.

Have a lovely day!
I think the Nooks explain how to sneak (or maybe the villagers do?) when you purchase the net/hold the net if it's a villager. That may be where Nenya's grandson learned it.
I don't know if this is well known or not, but I found out like maybe a week ago or longer. Anyway sometimes the villagers will follow you if they're going to your house or their house for a visit request. If you scream their name in the megaphone (while they're in your company) they'll do the shock emote, but won't get angry or upset. Everything will just go back to status quo every time you do it.

i didn't realise that when birds are sitting on the noticeboard, it means there's a new message!! ive been playing this game for ages but i only just worked that one out omg

Ah yes, thought there might have been another way , because some of those bugs are hard to get even when sneaking.

Yes, I know how to sneak, thought there might have been another way as well, IE Tips and tricks.
Good guess, but he couldn't read two years ago, lol. I'm pretty sure he learned it by trying and pushing buttons. You know how kids are with buttons...they don't know that "buttons aren't toys!" Probably because we give them all kinds of toys with buttons, right?

There is a trick that I used to use that was very helpful. (I read this online before I knew TBT existed.) On the island, grab a shell, go up to a tree, gauge where to stand to snag a bug (in sneak mode the top of your net should be just near the bottom of the fruit), drop the shell right there. Use the shell as a guide to know how close to get w/o scaring the bug away. Start sneak mode a ways before you reach the shell...obviously? Another tip is to watch the bug; if it starts to move around, you stop for a second or two until it settles down, then continue. Hope this helps you catch a lot more bugs!
You won't even need these after a while. It will all come naturally...those pathways in the brain, you know.
Good grief, where were the pathways in my brain when I wrote this? Must have been the middle of the night. I just made another correction; see bold words.

Oh my gosh you have no idea how helpful that is!! Whenever I swing my net it's always at the wrong angle and then I get annoyed because I spent ages carefully sneaking up on them. Definitely going to do this next time! Though, I don't really go beetle hunting anymore ever since I sold my town.
Please note the change I made about the top of the net at the bottom of the fruit! Sorry!

Something I rediscovered... I'm redoing my house and I was refurbishing an item, well I forgot that if you have a guest over you can't pickup the item as Cyrus will be sleeping! So it made me chuckle a bit as I had forgotten and the idea of it is pretty funny imo.

What do you mean that cedars can only grow at the top of the town?!?!?!?
