Things you didn't know about forever?

Also the train station apparently has a fire extinguisher... makes sense but i never noticed til now when i visited a player aha
 
For the longest time I had no idea about special tree stumps until I got one completely by accident with a regular axe.


I also didn't know that villagers don't move in on qr codes on the ground, so much time wasted trying to randomly plot reset lol

When it?s mushroom season and you have a perfect town, rate mushrooms will grow near special stumps too c:
 
If you find a lost item after many of your villagers are asleep, you can still ask them about it the next day!
Also, you can go to Main Street and find any animal living in your town and ask them about a lost item too.
 
I didn't know that Saharah won't follow you onto the beach. I found her right next to my beach ramp today and the fastest way to my house was to run around my beach and up the other ramp, but when I tried to go down the ramp she gave me the option to either do something else or stick with her. So I had to go the long way through my town.

I also didn't know that you can see your villagers singing and dancing on the opening screen after you log off. I caught Bruce and Deirdre after a conversation where they were both singing and then I logged off. After the game saved and went to the log in screen, it focused on Bruce in front of his house and he was still singing and dancing. It was so cute!
 
I had no idea that the longer you spend on the island it makes your skin tanner. One time I left my ds open while I was on the island and my skin was a lot darker but I had no idea why until I looked it up later. And it?s only during a limited time of the year!!
 
Got a nice surprise when Joan let me buy 1600 turnips in one purchase.

When I bought them before the update Joan wouldn't let me buy 1600 because there was a bag of bells in the inventory.
I had to buy 1500 and than buy 100.
A few nights ago I asked for 1600 and got a nice surprise. Bought a locker and pockets full in 10 minutes.
 
Realized that the gender of the villager you're playing as will actually have a vocal difference when you are typing out letters, found that out earlier when I was ordering furniture with my only male villager.

Also found out flooring like the daisy meadow will actually have a different sound effect when you walk on it in comparison to normal floors!
 
Today I learned that on your birthday, you can blow out the candles on your birthday cake by blowing on your DS! I never thought to try this. I always just made a wish and that was it, but my husband figured it out today and told me. I can't wait to try it on my birthday. Unfortunately, I have to wait until November.
 
I had no idea you could dive and get underwater creatures for like a year. I can?t believe I didn?t look it up, but I thought the wetsuit was just a weird fashion suit and I never bought it or tried it out. After I found out there was like this whole aspect of the game I hadn?t even figured out was there.
 
that you can use the golden shovel to plant reg saps & that money trees are a thing
 
When taking Katie around
Once stepping in the station
Stepping back out right away

then Katie tries following you in rush while looking you up. dammm.. so cute.
 
That even if you get all request options wrong at Brewster's Cafe, he will still give you normal coffee beans.
He is too kind!
 
That you can essentially make your own color palettes when making a custom design - I guess I just never clicked the paint tube icon and thought you were limited to the premade ones. Now I get how people make super intricate patterns!
 
Katie was in my town when I went to a different state for a holiday.
(i live in Australia. I went to Sydney for a holiday. Opened my NL game, Katie was strolling in town. Couldn't do anything about Katie as i was staying in a hotel...)

I just found out recently-ish that the good-luck charm gives you good luck if it's in your pockets. I've been carrying it around in my pockets all the time ever since I found out. It's pretty convenient.
 
turn out of you do the sunniness emote in front of phylis, she will get mad at you
 
I'm sure this is common knowledge to a lot of people, but I ALWAYS play in the afternoon or evening, and I had no idea you couldn't visit Shrunk until noon
