I'm new to AC. My mother and sister ordered the "New Leaf" and "Happy Home Designer" games for me on Amazon and I should receive them in a few days, and both of them are new, not used. But I came across some guides online and I have already started making plans for my house in "New Leaf". I'm really excited about this.
Here's the guides I found online:

Soon I will start making plans for my bedroom, what it will contain and look like. I already know that it will definitely contain a bed, a painting set, a sketch book, and a violin (because I love art and violin music). During the Fall and Winter seasons, my bedroom will contain a fireplace. And so will my study room. And soon I will start making plans for my kitchen, bathroom, and living room. I definitely want a pine chair and a pine table in my kitchen. I couldn't resist and I added them to my list when I saw them in the online guide.
I've already made a list of all the clothes I will buy and own (there's nearly a hundred of them that I'm interested in). Though I'll probably have to look up how storage unit space stuff works in "New Leaf" because I don't know how much stuff I can put in storage and where (feel free to share this information with me if you know).
I've already chosen several different wallpapers for all of my rooms because I might eventually change them:
- Aqua Tile Wall for my bathroom
- Arched Window wall
- Autumn Wall (maybe for my bedroom or study room, during the fall season)
- Classic-Library Wall for my study room
- Fireworks-Show Wall
- Hello Kitty Wall (maybe for my bedroom)
- Lattice Wall (maybe for my study room or my bathroom)
- Pear Wall (maybe for my kitchen)
- Purple-Desert-Tile Wall (maybe for my bathroom)
- Purple Puzzle Wall
- Purple-Rose Wall
- Standard Tearoom Wall (maybe for my kitchen)
- Stary Sky Wall (maybe for my bedroom or my bathroom)
- Green-Paint Wall (for my living room)
I already chose the rugs/flooring for every room:
- Citrus Carpet for my kitchen
- Opulent Rug for my study room
- Exotic Rug for my living room
- Flower Pop Carpet for my bedroom
- Blue Flooring for my bathroom
- I will have my living room in the basement
- I will have my kitchen in the left room
- I will have my bedroom in the right room
- I will have my bathroom in the back room
- I will have my study on the second floor
- I've heard that you can have six rooms total in "New Leaf" but if that's the case I don't know what I'll do with the 6th one yet
It's possible that there might be some flaws or mistakes in my plans (storage unit space, space/item limit in every room, availability of an item, costs, and methods to earn money or bells are all important in this game from what I've heard but I don't know much about how it all works since I'm new to AC and this would be my first AC game ever) and that I'll have to correct them along the way, like I said I'm new to AC and I might have made a few mistakes or misunderstood how some things work. If that's the case, let me know. As someone who is knew to AC, I want to learn and I want to hear from people who have experience with this game, I want to hear from them about how things work in NL and what advices they can give so I can unleash my creativity. And I've heard that with AC, your creativity is often the only limit. I might ask a few questions in the "Ask AC:NL Questions here! (Please read before posting here or making a new thread!)" thread. Like about storage for clothes and food and fortune cookies because I'd love to have a 3DS in my bedroom and also how do I get the Keep Town Beautiful ordinance so I don't have to deal with coackroaches and trash when I can't play on a regular basis because I'm busy or something. Though the title of the thread says "please read before posting here or making a new thread" I just noticed that said thread is like 439 pages long. Does the person who started the thread really expect us to read 439 pages worth of posts before we post in said thread or start a new thread? I hope not. Please let me know as I am new to the Bell Tree Forums as well, not just new to AC.
By the way, folks... just a reminder this exists (24/7 Animal Crossing Radio website, and now it not only plays New Leaf music, but New Horizon music too in case you're interested):
https://newleafradio.glitch.me/">https://newleafradio.glitch.me/
This is heaven for gamers. I love this. Don't you?
I've seen videos of AC games on Youtube and I can say that the association between the calming visuals/gameplay and this music is so strong, it's often nice to have those AC music tracks playing in the background at home when you write, read, study, clean, relax, etc, or at work when you're working.
I wish it was available as an internet radio station I could find on my radio...
I also have a relaxing AC ambience playlist that I'm more than happy to share with all of you:

The weather is unbearably hot these days, a shower would do me much good.
I wish you all a good day.
