What Did You Accomplish In Your Town Today?

[Michelle D.]

- I woke up early this morning, greeted my early bird villagers (not I didn't enacted the Early Bird ordinance, I just meant that they get up early because it was like 6:30 in the morning), harvested the oranges and pears in my trees and watered the flowers. There's nothing like the satisfaction of a job well done in the morning.

- I saw Cube this morning and he's wearing the racing shirt I bought for him and sent him in the mail with the letter yesterday (see my previous post in this thread, including the part about me playing matchmaker for some of my villagers). Seeing this made me smile. It warms my heart to see my villagers wearing the clothes I bought for them or hanging the clothes I bought for them on their walls in their homes. I bought a "barber tee" to one of my villager once and was pleasantly surprised to see that he had hung it on his wall. That's nice.

- I came across Robin this morning (I wonder if he's gonna use the umbrella I sent him on rainy days), he said that a package was mistakenly delivered to him and that it was supposed to be delivered to Cube. And fortunately for us, Cube is standing right next to us. So I'll be able to return the package to Cube straight away. It's one of my lucky days today I guess; I got a perfect orange tree this morning, then an Emperor Butterfly flew by (it's in my museum now) and now Cube is just in the right place at the right time. Cube said, "I think I ordered this a while back. But 'cause it didn't show up for so long, I bought another one. Oh, I have an idea! How about I sell you this without opening it? If you're lucky, there could be something awesome inside d-d-dude, Let's say 1328 bells! What do you think?". My luck is good today and I would totally buy it but I haven't a single bell on me, I deposited it all in my bank account via ABD (depositing all of my bells into my account stops me from spending too much and I'm trying to save my bells for expensive things like house upgrades and unlocking some shops, when I want to buy something I withdraw only the amount I need and that's it). I wonder if I can get some bells and try to buy it from him or if it'll be too late. I've declined trade in the past and the opportunity was lost. Only one way to find out. I'll go get some bells and see if I can still buy it from him. Apparently, that's another opportunity lost. He probably sold it to someone else. I guess I should carry at least 2000 bells on me in case that kind of opportunity present itself again.

- A new villager is going to move to my town. This happened three times, and I don't even have any Amiibo cards or figures. The other two moved in after I paid my $10 000 and $39 800 loans, and now it happened again after I unlocked Tortimer Island. The first two were Curlos and Sylvia, now a new villager named Victoria is moving to my town. So I now have eight villagers, I had only five when I first moved in. I'm so glad, I like having more NPC villagers. I wonder how Victoria is? Cube mentioned her, he remarked that a new villager is moving to Sharp Town then he added "I'm gonna save my snack from today and give it to the neighbor as a housewarming gift!" That's so kind of him. Things like that make me smile and warm my heart.

- Got two gifts from my friend Aurora this morning when I talked to her (a Boomerang to hang on my wall, and an Aroma pot). She asked me for a fruit and I had three perfect oranges so I gave her a perfect orange, she deserves it after everything she's done for me since I moved into this town. Also I have like 5 baskets of 9 oranges for a total of 45 oranges and a basket of 4 oranges. So a grand total of 49 oranges. I have two perfect oranges. And I have a basket of 9 pears. The pear was a gift from Isabelle after I brought back a seashell for her. I think I'll keep 2 baskets of 9 oranges for a grand total of 18 oranges and sell the other 3 baskets of 9 oranges for a grand total of 27 oranges. What's the best way to sell fruits, folks? Should I sell them one by one, in basketfull or put them on the flea market and how much do you think I should sell a basket of 9? Also, how much do you think I should sell an item on the flea market if I want to make a bit of profit at least? How do you procede. Your advices are appreciated. I have to sell my fruits so I can free space in my storage unit, I have to sell things that I don't need or don't want to have more spaces for things I need and want.

The first expansion is 98 000 bells and I'm only at 70 000 something bells. It feels like I'l never get to 98 000. And I have to expand my house to get the second floor and pay it off because I really need to get the secret storeroom, I could really use an extra storage unit (I've heard that this one has a capacity of 360 instead of 180). I've heard that the storage unit can hold 180 items but that can't be true. 6 x 10 = 60, that's the storage unit found in the train station. As for the one you carry with you everywhere in your inventory, it can store 16 items. That's 76 items total, not 180. Unless the amount of items that your house contain can count towards that, but I doubt it amounts to 180. Also, I've heard that the secret storeroom is a separated storage unit, separated from the other one that has like 9 pages next to your light switch. If there's 10 storing slots per page like the one at the train station that 9 x 10 = 90, 90 not 360. Care to fill me in? Because I don't see 180 and 360 here, not do I see enough storing space for 540 items.

- I encountered Gulliver sleeping on the beach. He asked me a bunch of question and he was trying to remember where he traveled to. It was Vietnam. So either he's traveling to our world in the multiverse through a portal, or the Crossing universe is a parallel version of our world where our countries exist and some of the animals have evolved human-like intelligence and self-awareness. Either way, he's an interesting character that Gulliver. I've heard that he washes on your town's beach once a week and if you figure out what country he traveled to every single time, you get a souvenir from that country in the mail. According to the online guide, if you give him the wrong answer, he will send you a chocolate coin instead, which you can eat or sell. I wonder if I should give him the wrong answer on purpose at least once so I can get one of those chocolate coin. Can you register those in the catalogue? Is this worth it?

According to some people online, you can drop the chocolate coin on the ground to try and get ants and flies to appear. I don't have those bugs in my museum and this might help lure them into my bug catching net. After all, if Gulliver appear once EVERY week. I'll get plenty of opprtunities to give him the right answers and get those souvenirs. Also, I've heard that you can display a chocolate coin in your house. I might get one for my house. Those chocolate coins remind me of my childhood, my father bought chocolate coins for my sister and for me when we were kids. According to the online guide, Canada is one of the countries Gulliver travel to. That's my country. I'm Canadian and I live in Canada Montreal. All those souvenirs you can get from Gullivers look great. But I'm really looking forward to getting these; Samgyetang (Korea), Red-tasseled lantern (China), Kinderdijk windmill (Holland), Shamrock clock (Ireland), Tapestry (Peru), and Bagpipes (Scotland).

Here's the guide:

- I had a butterfly and two fishes to my museum. On my way to the museum I heard "bam bam bam bam bam rrrrr rrrr rrrr" and saw that there was a new building sandwiched in between the Nookling store and the Able Sisters' shop. After doing some research I found out that this is the gardening store and that to unlock it you have to

I've heard that in NH, the fruits grow back and you can get multiple harvests from the same trees:

https://attackofthefanboy.com/guides/animal-crossing-new-horizons-when-does-fruit-grow-back/

Is this also the case for NL? I hope so because I planted lots of trees and if I get lots of oranges and pear and mangoes I can sell them and get lots more bells (the pear was a gift from Isabelle for getting her a seashell and the mango was a gift from Curlos for delivering Cube's package to him). Also, one of these days, I'll have to get an axe because at some point there will be too many trees in my town. Maybe there are too many already (I wanted to harvest lots of fruits). If there are too many we won't even be able to see the houses and train station anymore. Too many is just as bad as not enough. What's a reasonable amount of tree to have in one town? Perhaps you folks can help me figure that one out. I might be doing a good job but I'm still fairly new at this and even if research things with google I don't always find the answers. Your help and opinions are appreciated.

Folks I keep hearing people talk about a catalogue and ordering stuff but I have no idea what that is and how it's done. Care to fill me in? I think it's important information I should know about. I've heard some folks say that you can even extra rare items that you can only get from one or two characters, like the souvenirs you get from Gulliver. I could buy a couple of those and send them to my villagers in the mail just because I like to buy nice gifts to my friends once in a while. Also, sometimes your villagers send something to and they might send something you want.

When I delivered Cube's package to Curlos he rewarded me with a mango. Do other villages reward you with other fruits that you don't yet have? Because I would love to get the cherry, peach, apple, durian, lemon, lychee, and persimmon. And getting them when you ran errands for your villagers is just as rewarding as getting them from trees. The mango is a tropical fruit and Curlos gave me one. I planted it in the soil near my house and I should get more mangoes soon. By the way, mango is one of my top favorite fruits.

My top 10 favorite fruits:

1- Mango
2- Watermelon
3- Strawberry
4- Peach
5- Raspberry
6- Blackberry
7- Blueberry
8- Orange
9- Banana
10- Pinneaple

Edit:

Folks, i found this neat online guide that tells us how to unlock all the shops:

This is great!

@Michelle D. I think that the 180 storage unit figure refers to the storage capacity of the dresser/wardrobe furniture items which you can place in your home and store things in, when you open them they have 4 sections (A,B,C and D) and each one has 6 pages of 10 slots, giving 60 slots per letter, coming to a total of 180. The secret storeroom is very similar but uses 4 shape symbols instead of the letters and has 9 pages of 10 slots, making 90 slots per shape and 360 in total. The photo below is from online of the secret storeroom to show how it's set out when you open it and how it's split into the 4 sections so you can just click each shape symbol on the left and the arrows on the right to move between all the slots.

Also it is right that the fruit will grow back on the trees after it has been harvested, I think it might take 3 days after you've picked the fruit for it to grow back. Other villagers can reward you with the fruits you don't have, I've so far received a cherry and a mango from mine, but it doesn't happen often unfortunately.

Today I got the wii u for the first time ever.
So I finally get to try out the desert island mini game... its... okay

 

[Michelle D.]

- I paid my first expansion (98 800 bells) and I still have plenty of bells.

- Sold a couple things in the flea market

- Bought a Sunflower Tee, a Purple tie-dye Tee and a picnic umbrella (I love purple it's my favorite color, and I love stuff with sunflower patterns on them)

- I really don't get it. According to my research the Able Sisters sell "red warm-up pants" in winter, but I got the "red warm-up suit" (which is the shirt that goes with the pants, it's a sporty set) in summer a few days ago. from one of my NPC villagers and I doubt they saved it since like the last winter, it makes no sense and I moved to Sharp Town about seven days or so ago.

Folks, can someone tell me why there are people who write that kind of piece of garbage about AC:

https://www.theatlantic.com/family/...-crossing-isnt-escapist-its-political/610012/

This is the most nonsensical thing I've ever read and I don't get why there are people who act like edgelords, write pieces of garbage like that about AC, and want to ruin the AC experience for everyone else. People have been put in forced confinement for over 16 months and idiots like the author of this article don't seem to get that this +16 months of forced confinement has caused a mental health crisis and an increase in the suicide rate and that it's games like AC that has saved so many people from chornic depression and suicide. Would people like the author of this article prefer that adults and childen play AC or that they blow their brains out? Would they prefer that people play a "game" where they aren't judged for what they choose to do as productive members of society, where you can do whatever you like and anything you can do and want to do in terms of activities might be seen as viable work and valuable (there's something for every taste and budget) and where no one in your town or village will judge you for being your true self no matter what your gender identity and gender expression are (you can dress howerver you want, have whatever looks you want, and express yourself in your own unique without fear of judgment, bigotry, violence and hate crime)?

Or would they prefer that more adults and children kill themselves and die young from PTSD, depression and suicide (it's a proven fact that the extreme prolonged confinement kill as many people as, if not more, than the virus because as health experts and scientists have pointed out humans are social creatures and were never meant for extreme prolonged confinement for years and it's been over a year and a half now, it attacks and destroys mental health, communication and socialization skills, empathy and healthy, undisturbed sleeping patterns, they did experiments on mices and even animals after being separated from other members of their own species for months ince they were put back together with the other mices start acting confused, disturbed and incapable of communicating or socializing with other members of their species, it attacks the brains and mental health and eventually physical health as extreme prolonged confinement cause generalized chronic inflammation because the body and immune system are in survival mode permanently, and there's also the high blood pressure, strokes, substance addictions, eating disorders, obesity, chronic eczema, chronic arthritis,, etc, etc, caused by the extreme prolonged confinement that health experts and scientists warned people about)? So yeah the author of this article doesn't know what he or she is talking about. Animal Crossing saved lives and is still saving lives. This article is obviously a piece of garbage written by a troll. This person has to eb a troll, because if they are serious, if they believe half of what they're saying, if they want to bash and demolih the one thing that saved some people's lives then they have major issues and should go get therapy.

I noticed yesterday the letter A, B and C, but there's no D. Unless you have to unlock the D section with an additional 6 x 10 slots? As for the secret storeroom I know you have to spend like $12 000 at Tom Nook's shop, but most of what he has are things I'm not interested in. I bought the "colorful gravel" and the "light blue mail box" (my roof is a darker shade of blue and I thought the blue mail box would go well with it). I wanted a purple extrerior (purple is my favorite color) but he doesn't sell any roof, door or mail box that are purple. It really isn't fair. My neighbor Sylvia got a purple exterior and I wanted that for myself too. I saw purple roofs online, but Nook never get around to selling them. I wanted the white fence, the Purple roof or the Purple rough roof, and the Brown brick wall because apparently I can't have purple brick house like my neighbor since that's not available for the player's character. When Nook told me to choose a color for my roof, purple was not even among the options. Also, I found only a shirt and an umbrella that's purple and according to my research there's no purple shorts or pants to go with that shirt. Why so very few purple clothes? I was looking forward to collecting and buying all purple clothes and items in this game but there are so very few of those.

You know what else isn't fair? Several websites say that you can find a trash bin or a garbage can that you can keep in your house at Timmy and Tommy's shop. I haven't seen one single trash bin or garbage can in their shop and I've been playing for a week now. I have like six or seven pieces of trash or garbage in my storage unit. I can't do the garbage can public work project thing because I don't think I've unlocked it yet, I can't afford it for now, and also dumb villagers request a garbage can only to turn on you and make your approval rating drop (yes I did my research about this, ALL the public work projects ARE requests from the villagers, THEY ask for a garbage can, and they don't take responsibility for it, you will lose approval rating for fulfilling THEIR request, some of them are dumb-dumb people who are anti-trash can. How can someone be anti trash can? Trash cans exist so that you put all your garbage in them and so there isn't littering, filth and pollution! It's a safe and clean way to dispose of garbage! How can anyone be anti trash can and disapprove of people who are in favor of that? This makes absolutely no sense! And you can't change their mind on this apparently! In 2021!). It's not fair to force the player's character to pay a freaking disposal fee of 80 bells per piece of trash or garbage. I sent an old tire to Sylvia in the mail, told her in a letter that it was time to recycle, that she could wash the tire I fished out of the ocean and use it to make a toy for her child, like a swing or a Jungle Jumparoo game. But a boot or empty can? I fail to see what good use I could put those objects to.

I'm not gonna mail useless trash to my villagers just because I can. The tire could be recycle and put to good use, but what good is an old boot or an empty to anyone? And now I have like 5 empty cans and an old boot sitting in my storage unit because I need to save my bells since everything is freaking expensive in this game and I don't want to pay freaking disposal fees and Timmy and Tommy never had a trash bin or garbage can (the one you can have in your house without losing approval rating and you can dispose of the trash for free) for sell in their shop in the first seven days that i've been playing this game (I'm on day 7 of my adventure). This is so frustrating. As if that wasn't bad enough, now that I can finally do public work projects, I find out that they are too expensive for me. At this rate I will only be able to do every month or something and that's if I'm lucky. I've heard that the NPC villagers contribute so very little in terms of funding for those projects that you'll probably have to cover 90% to 95% of the costs yourself. Instead of sending me all those gifts in the mail, why didn't they just save their money and put it towards public work projects?

I unlocked Tortimer Island but I don't dare leave my town. Who know what my town will be like and look like when I get back. I don't know how long I will be gone or how long the folks on the island will keep me there before I return to Sharp Town. I'm not even sure I know how to get back. Any number of things could happen in my town while I'm away. I could enact the Beautiful Town ordinance, but it costs 20 000 bells and it's supposed to be the last resort because I'm trying to save my bells and because if I'm not very busy I much prefer watering the flowers and pulling the weed myself (even if some people consider it a waste of time, I think there's nothing like the satisfaction of a job well done in the morning, I enjoy harvesting my fruits, watering the flowers, and pulling the weed myself and keep my town beautiful through my own hard work and effort instead of just letting an ordinance magically take care of everything. Where's the feeling of satisfaction and of a job well done in this? Where's the communing with nature and where's the sharing in the morning shores of your villagers in this?).

Also, what if while I'm away on Tortimer Island someone hack into my town or hijack my town and then decide that they don't like it and then just like the self-absorbed psycho in this video decide to start a new town and WIPE OUT everyone in the village overnight through a major reset because they see my villagers as mere "datas", "programs" or "coding" when they are so much more than that?:

They are so much more than that, they are self-aware and sentient beings with spontaneous and genuine feelings and emotions and they have dreams, projects, desires, preferences, tastes and aspirations of their own, and they are FRIENDS. What if while I'm on Tortimer Island someone KILL all my villagers and WIPE OUT the whole thing and no one survives and when I get back there isn't any villager left and my town is gone and there isn't a town for me to return to? I don't want my villagers to be wiped out or mass genocided and anything could happen to them while I'm away on Tortimer Island!

And on Tortimer Island, they'll expect me to go dive in the waters and there are jellyfishes, sharks and Piranhas in there. And it scares the crap out of me. And there's even an initiative that tells you to go dive in the ocean AT NIGHT to get some kind of sea creature! AT NIGHT! When it's all dark and not knowing what's coming at you in the dark that's the hardest to bear. And did I mention the sarentulas and the scorpions? They're coming to get you too. And I'm supposed to get one of these for my museum? I'll probably chicken out the moment I see one coming at me. And I'm expected to particpate in and win tours and I don't even know how to do that and those freaking medals are the only way to get your own wetsuit and other other items that can only be found there. If I don't do those things, I'll be the laughstock of Tortimer Island and I will bring shame to Sharp Town. Because the pressure is just too much sometimes. I just feel it's not fair. Why does it have to be the mayor going to that island and doing all this?

And Isabelle said that she was jealous, that she was invited but had too much work to go. What's wrong with her? She needs to change up a few things or she's going to work herself into an early grave. I've heard of workaholics who had to go to therapy because they were endangering their health and lives because they were working too much. Why can't she just leave her freaking office and go to the island with me? I shouldn't have to go there alone alone. It just isn't fair. And I don't even know anyone who lives there. I've done my research while I was waiting for my copy of this game in the mail, so there's a lot of things I know about this game, but there's also a lot of things I don't know about this game because I only know what I've gathered from my research and I started my adventure only seven days/a week ago, on July the 17th. Also, i find it annoying that sometimes I start something and then get distracted or sidetracked by other things and then try to complete everything in time and sometimes I fail to fulfill requests, like Curlos who asked me for a rare and very hard to catch Rainbow Stag, I might have seen one once but it flew away. He probably would have rewarded me with a peach or an apple. Darn it.

I bought an axe at the Garden Center (and two bags of seeds and with one bag you can only grow one stem with four flowers, and here I was hoping you could plant multiple ones because I though there would be more than one seed per bag, is it even worth it? Should I just stick to growing fruit trees instead of flowers?) and I don't know how to turn my axe into a gold unbreakable axe nor do I know what's a reasonable amount of trees to have in one's town, I might have to chop down some of those trees because there are too many I think and I want to grow all kinds of fruits not just one or two, I want to grow at least 2 orange trees, 2 pear trees, two mango trees, 2 cherry trees, 2 peach trees and 2 apple trees and down on the beach I'll grow the fruit palm trees that can only be grown in the sand, I've heard about them online). I don't know if in NL you can get multiple harvests of fruits from the same trees (I know that you can in NH but I don't know if it can be done in NL). Also someone said that the way to proceed in the flea market is x4-1, but that villagers won't buy anything above 9999 bells and this just would work for fruits since 500 x 4 - 1 = 1999 x 9 (basket of 9) = 17 991. Someone said that they sell fruits for 1000 bells per piece for a total of 9000 bells per basket of nine fruits, that it's a resonable price and easy money. Some of my villagers seemed to think that it was expensive, but 9000 bells is far more reasonable than 17 991 bells and despite saying that 9000 for a basket of 9 is expensive they bought a basket from me, except for one client who declined.

The x4-1 only works well with furnitures and other such objects, not with fruits since villagers won't buy anything above 9999 bells (below 10k, they will not always buy but they will buy more often than not, but they'll buy nothing over 9999, that's what I was told). I got oranges as my native fruit, then Isabelle rewarded me with a pear when I fulfilled her request and brought her a seashell. Then Curlos rewarded me with a mango and a cherry after I delivered a package to him twice. So apparently, NPC villagers will reward you with new fruits if you help them with various things. Now I have the orange, the pear, the mango and the cherry. I'm still missing the peach, the apple, the durian, the lemon, the lychee, and the persimmon. Maybe Curlos will give me the other two non-native fruit (peach and apple) if I keep helping him, after all he gave me the mango and the cherry. According to some website, each fruit tree, if it grows, will continuously grow three fruit every three days, with the exception of perfect fruit trees in NL, which die eventually. Also why 3 fruit every 3 days? Is 3 a freaking magic number now? Also I saw a video of a guy shaking a tree and 6 oranges fell instead of 3. Was this real or fake? Because I've only ever seen 3 fruit per tree. I have some many trees now that I can easily get like 5 baskets of 9 oranges or pears for a grand total of 45 fruits in one day. And the rest of my trees are not even done maturing yet, they too will produce fruits.

This game has an island where you're require to win mini-games you basically know nothing about and haven't heard of so you can win medals and get your own stuff that you don't have to rent or borrow anymore and those things are very expensive, they cost a lot of medals. The public work projects are very expensive. The building of new rooms and the room expansions are very expensive (my next room expansion costs 198 000 bells, where am I going to get that many bells?). You have to spend a lot of money in the shops to unlock other shops (I unlocked the Garden Center, but I have yet to convince Sable to open shop and I haven't unlocked Shampoodle and I haven't yet upgrade Timmy and Tommy's shop because they rarely sell something I'm interested in, something that's on my list of what I want). Also, it's been 7 days and I think I have more than 50 critters in my museum, so why won't Slather suggest the Roost Café public work project? And even if he did I can't afford it at the moment and I was so looking forward to working there for a salary and meeting nice people, plus I like the idea of working in a café. Also, I'm really looking forward to unlocking Shampoodle so I can change my character's hair color (there are cool colors like purple ("mood"), silvery white ("angel wing"), and sky blue ("clear sky"), I can't wait to try them but I will definitely start with purple). And some people say that it's easy to make money in this game, but that's only if you go to the island and if you know what you're doing when you get there. There are too many things to do so I don't know what goal I should go for first and I need to make more money, I mean, bells.

This should help a bit:

Should I go to the island?

I would need more bells to build all those public work projects and make my town more beautiful. Isabelle even said that the citizens say that they feel Sharp Town is underdeveloped. They want more public works projects! I haven't even started one yet and I didn't have the option to start any p until yesterday, but now my approval rating has reached 100%. If I don't go to Tortimer Island I'll never have enough bells for those public works projects. But it's only been a week since I started working on my town and I don't know if leaving this early is a good idea. So I'm at an impasse and I don't know what to do.

Edit:

I got a checkerboard shirt too, JemAC. This afternoon. And I also got a red warm-up suit (sporty), that goes well with the Black formal pants I bought at the Able Sister's store, also I can't wait to get the red warm-up pants that goes with the shirt. This set looks cool and sporty. I also got a Kiwi Tee and a Mint shirt. The mint shirt will go well with the gray sweatpants I bought at the Able Sisters' store (green and gray go well together).

I also got a Green gym shirt and when I get a chance, I'll buy the Green gym shorts that go with the shirt.

Those four shirts were gifted to me by my villagers.

I bought three shirts with my own money; a Purple Tie-dye shirt, a leopard Tee, and a Diamond Tee.

I now have 7 shirts and I hanged them on my walls in my room.

I bought the pants with my own money. In addition to the Gray sweatpants and the Black formal pants, I also have the Red-stripe pants and the Blue-stripe pants. So far I have 7 shirts and 4 pants.

My character she's currently wearing Relay shorts, a Sunflower Tee, a pair of Sporty shades and a Star hairpin. I love the summertime sporty looks.

I just paid off my first expansion (which costs 98 000 bells) and I'm going to start saving some bell for the second expansion (which costs 198 000 bells).

I definitely want to get my hands on the Green tartan pants and the Club Tee (it has a green shamrock on it) because that's the perfect outfit to Celebrate St. Patrick's Day and this is what I'm going to wear next year on Shamrock Day and if what I've heard is true, Isabelle will give me a Shamrock hat on Shamrock Day. That hat would go well with the outfit I have in mind. Or I'll wear a Green emblem blazer just like Isabelle (I'll still buy the Club Tee anyways, but the Green emblem blazer has long sleeves which is better for March's cold weather. I love Isabelle's summertime Sunflower Tee so much that I bought one when I saw it at he Able Sisters' store (the shirt is sky blue with a sunflower pattern on it). Isabelle was wearing one on Summer Solstice Day. I just love that shirt and I'm glad I was able to get one. The Green emblem blazer really doesn't look that bad, I'll definitely get one.

I love how if you choose t have your house build near the sea/beach, you can hear the waves when you're inside your house. I read that in an online guide and chose to have my house built near the sea/beach. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach from inside your house. And also, you can hear the rain falling and hitting the roof and window from inside your house. That is so cool. Also you can display flowers you took outside in your house and they'll be displayed in a pot (I have a pot with purple lillies in my room at my house). And you can display a butterfly and a fish in your room. A bug will be displayed in a glass display case and a fish will be displayed in a fish tank.

That's my favorite butterfly in New Leaf and I have one in my room in a glass display case (look at this beauty):

https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/...h-brooke-s-birdwing-butterfly-basking-in-pool

http://entopia.com/oneplantatatime/entomology/rajah-brooke-birdwing/

What a beauty that one, and this beautiful and vibrant green!

And some people say that the Stag is the most beautiful creature in the world. I have never seen a Rainbow Stag from up-close but I'm pretty sure they aren't as beautiful as the Rajah Brooke butterfly.

My second favorite butterly in New Leaf is this one:

What a beautiful and vibrant shade of blue!

And my two favorite fishes in New Leaf are these:

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Surgeonfish

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Clownfish

I currently have a Clownfish in a fish tank in my room.

Yesterday I saw a patch of clovers in my town, I tried to pick it up like a regular flower but it didn't work and while I was trying to pick it up, I press the wrong button apparently and the clovers were pulled like weed and the patch of clovers was destroyed and gone. I've heard that if you wear a clover in your hair or display one in your room on bad luck days (like when you trip and fall like a klutz) your bad luck will change to neutral luck. I've also heard that clover is very rare. How do I get another clover? And more importantly how do I safely pick it up? Also is there really a difference between clovers and four-leaved clovers or lucky clovers? I don't get it. If they have three leaves aren't they supposed to be called Shamrocks instead of Clovers? Isn't there a distinction? Aren't all clovers in New Leaf lucky? Maybe I should have tried to dig them up with a shovel? I screwed up bad there. But I didn't want to soft reset or quit without saving because I didn't want to lose my progress and there was no guarantee that the patch of clovers would pop up in the same place or at all if they are as rare as some people claim they are.

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Clover

Curlos asked me for a piece of furniture and I gave him a lantern and he rewarded me with a library wallpaper. I'm so happy, I wanted one for my future study room. Curlos always reward me with nice things I've always wanted after I've ran errands for him. He's a generous and cool neighbor.

I also got some nice plants for my room. I bought a Cypres from Harvey. I bought an Aloe At Reese's shop. And one of my villagers gave me a Snake plant (my mother has some Snake plants in her kitchen in our world, they're also known as Mother-in-law's Tongues). I love having plants in my house in New Leafs.

[Michelle D.]

- Yesterday I went to the island and caught a whole bunch of new bugs and fishes that I donated to my museum. I didn't go dive in the sea, I'm not ready for that (swimming and diving in the ocean when there are sharks, jelly fishes and piranhas around scare the crap out of me, and yet if I don't go dive I won't be able to get sea creatures for my museum, I'm at an impasse and I don't know what to do). In addition to getting about two dozen new critters for museum, I also caught a couple stags and beetles to sell in my town. I made about 16 000 bells and that's not counting the fruit I found there, 2 basketfull (2 x 9 fruit) of coconuts and 1 basket of 6 coconuts, for a grand total of 24 coconuts. As well as 6 lemons. I don't get why it is isn't more balanced. Why did I get so many coconuts and so few lemons? Also, where are the other fruit? Orange is my native fruit. Isabelle rewarded me with a basket of 3 pears when I fulfilled her request and brought her a seashell. Curlos rewarded me with a mango and then with a cherry after I ran errands for him (delivering a package to him and finding a piece of furniture for his house). Yesterday, one of my NPC villagers rewarded me with a banana bunch after I delivered a package. I don't remember who gave me the banana bunch, I've been subjected to a lot of stress this week and I just forgot, but whoever it was I'm very thankful. I found the coconut and the lemon on the island. So I'm missing the peach and the apple that I know my NPC villagers will probably give me at some point after I run errands for them, just like the mango, cherry, and banana. Will they also give me the other fruit I'm still missing?

This page here...

https://www.ign.com/wikis/animal-crossing-new-leaf/Fruit_Trees

...says that the durian and lychee can be found on the island, but I've only got coconut and lemon from the island. When do the durian and lychee appear on the island? Do I have to chop down those palm trees and plant other trees. Because I've only seen coconut trees and lemon trees there, no durian trees and no lychee trees. And how can durian and lychee grow on coconut trees and lemon trees? This doesn't make sense. In my town, you will never see pears grow on an orange tree or cherries growing on a pear tree. If you want new fruit, you have to plant new trees. So how do I get durian and lychee from the island? Do I have to chop the palm trees there and plant other trees to get other fruit? I'm only missing the peach, apple, durian and lychee and I know I can get the peach and apple from my NPC villagers just I got the mango, cherry and banana from them, but I have yet to find out how to get the last two, the durian and the lychee. Also, how do you get the Persimmon? Your help and advices are always welcome, folks. Btw, lychee tastes good, folks. I know 'cause a few years ago, my mother made a fruit salad with lychee and blood orange. Apart from being rich in vitamin C, blood oranges also offer unique health benefits associated with high levels of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are red flavonoid pigments that give the blood oranges their intense color and wondrous antioxidant properties.

- Now that I have a hot plate, a tea set (a gift from Robin), and two baskets of fruit (a basket of oranges and a basket of pears), I can have breaskfast in my room.

I have a lot of baskets of fruit so I can save one or two for my room in my house.

I bought the hot plate in the Bunny's RV caravan with some of my Meow coupons, it's customizable. An egg is frying on it, and you can turn the sizzling sound on or off. I freaking love it. Something's cooking and it smells nice. Can you smell the bacon and eggs?

Hot plate customization:

https://cyruscustoms.tumblr.com%2Fpost%2F87228570389

Customization for the hot plate; sunny-side up egg (original), omelet, pizza, and pancake.

As this person said, "About to spend the next 2 hours of my life going through all the super cute customizations of the hot plate! Thanks so much werevampiwolfcrossing for getting this for me. "

Folks, get yourself a Hot plate (you can cook eggs, pancakes or pizza in it) and a Ceramic hot pot (you can cook veggies in it), they are a must in your kitchen. I'll get the Ceramic hot pot as soon as I can. As well as the Deluxe range, even though the Deluxe range will remain in storage until I get more room in my house because as of now I only have one room, when I have two or three rooms, I can start working on my kitchen.

If someone could tell me how I can unlock customization and the catalogue it'd be greatly appreciated.

- I love the sizzling sound of the hot plate and the deluxe range, now that really sounds like kitchen and cooking to me.

- Goose dropped a Chaise lounge in the mail for me after visiting me at my house yesterday. So kind of him. And I love the Chaise lounge. I also got a Regal bed from Aurora. Nice! I put the classical bed in my storage and replaced it with the regal bed (it looks better and more confortable, and I prefer double beds over single beds because there's more space, even in my world I have always had a a double bed all to myself, I personally think a single bed is too small and narrow and doesn't offer much space.

- I might have to visit the island regularly to get a whole bunch of stags at night because those can be sold for lots of bells at the re-tail store.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/comments/c6yrh8

And I'll need a ton of bells for public work projects and room expansions since those are very expensive.

Also with a little luck, I can get the remaining island bugs and fishes for my museum.

Now that I can get started on public works projects, I need infos on the campsite. Is the campsite only for people who go online and for online stuff? What's in it for people who don't have wi-fi or don't want to use it right away? As some of us just recently started building their towns and they will want to work on them for a while before letting anyone in or showing it to other people or some people are introvert and don't want to use online features at all, it depends from person to person or it depends on person's view. Also, what if Nintendo killed the Wi-fi service for this game at some point, would the campsite still be enjoyable and worth building? I will probably seek out informations on online features at some point and will probably connect with other players online at least a few times, but not for now, I started my New Leaf adventure just 7 days/a week ago and just got started on expanding my first room and stuff like public works projects. But I would like to have a campsite and I would build it right away if it can be enjoyed without going online for now and if I can get some immediate enjoyment from it this summer.

It's summertime and I'm dreaming of a campsite. It would be nice to see one in my town. Also, my Sharp Town villagers requested it, it's on the list of projects they are interested in. Does that mean that my NPC villagers, who requested this campsite, will drop in for visits? I would love that, especially if my closest friends in the village, Aurora and Curlos, come see me there. Are there like chairs or logs or hammock where you can sit or lay down and a crackling campfire like in Groundcamp? Aren't there NPC campers that sell stuff there instead of just online players? I've heard that there's a tent in summer and an igloo in winter and you can get stuff like; sleeping bag (which would be great for my backyard set room), campfire, campfire cookware, camp stove, fish grill and even those stewpots that I really want. Are there NPC villagers you can play the mini-games with in the campsite or can you only do that with online players?

Also, if I build the campsite, it can never be demolished or switched to a different location and I was told to choose the location carefully. Except I suck at choosing locations for stuff (except maybe the location of my house because I wanted it built near the beach/ocean so I could hear the waves when inside my house). Can some of you tell me what the best spot for the campsite is? Also, I've heard that I will have to free a 5x5 space, is this correct? Would I have to chop down trees that are in the way (I've got plenty of trees all over the village so this isn't a problem and I might have to chop some of them down because there might too many and I want to grow more than just one or two kinds of fruit)? Please try to answer my questions to the best of your ability or direct me to what you think is the best thread on the subject here (with all the info in one place). Thank you in advance, your help and advices are always appreciated.

Also, online it says " The Roost is a coffee shop that can be built as a Public Work Project. To unlock the project, you must have finished renovations on the Museum Second Floor at least seven days prior and donated at least 50 items to the Museum, at which point Blathers will suggest the idea."

Okay, I definitely have at least 50 critters in my museum by now.

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Museum_Shop_and_Exhibition_Rooms

Here it says, "To unlock this area (second floor) in the museum, the player must have talked to Blathers on at least 14 different days, donated at least 20 items to the museum, with at least one in each section (Insect, fish, paintings, and fossils). Once the criteria has been met, Blathers will be seen in a thinking pose. Talk to him to unlock the Museum Renovation public works project.

I started my adventure on July the 17th, so it's only been 9 days. I have donated at last 20 items to the museum in the insect category, fish category and fossil category. But not in the painting category, I haven't seen a single one of those anywhere, except this one Moody painting that one of my NPC villager traded me and I took it very reluctantly for fear that it might be a "fake". But apparently this painting is always "genuine" in New Leaf. I've heard it said online that "fake" art cannot be sold or donated to your museum. I saw a statue once in Timmy and Tommy's shop. But I didn't want to waste my money on that back then when I had so little of it. Do those statues count as being in the "paintings" category? Can you donate them to your museum and do they end up in the "paintings" section? If you could tell me where I can get more "paintings" category items for my museum it would really be appreciated.

I got 20 items in all the other categories except for this one and I want to get 20, well 19 now, art pieces and donate them to my museum so I can unlock the second floor. Because once I get the second floor, then I can do exhibits and unlock the Roost Café public works project. And the public works projects at the top of my list are Campsite, Fire pit, Fire Hydrant (everyone needs one in their town, that's just basic logic and safety), Roost Café, Club LOL, Yellow bench, Fountain, and Drinking fountain, Instrument shelter, and Lighthouse. This might take time though seeing as public works projects are very expensive. And I need you to tell me how I can get my NPC villagers to request those projects because some of them are not on the list Isabelle show me that I can choose from. Also, I wanted to ask you, folks, is it worth it building a Street lamp? Will one be enough? Considering they cost 39,800 bells each, I don't think I could build more than one? I'd really love to have one. But wouldn't having just one in the whole town be lame and not enough? I need information on the streelight project before I can start making any decision regarding it. Also about the picnic blanket project, is this one "demolishable"? Because I would only have it for the summer season. And maybe the first few weeks of fall. Passed that it doesn't make sense to keep it because the weather is too cold for picnics.

I came across the list of public works projects and how to get a perfect town here:

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Works_Projects

https://www.ign.com/wikis/animal-crossing-new-leaf/How_to_Get_a_Perfect_Town_Rating

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/68316744

https://www.belltreeforums.com/threads/perfect-town-problems.96909/

But I still ned infos about the campsite, the streelight project, the fruit, and all that.

I have like 116 000 bells in the bank. So I can afford a 60 000 bells public works project. I've been told that NPC villagers contribute very little money to the publc works projects and that you end up having to cover most of the costs. Do all the projects cost the same amount of bells? If you could direct me to a thread or site with the costs for each and every PWPs, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Edit:

I found a lost item just a few steps away from my house as I was doing morning chores (harvesting fruit, watering the flowers, pulling weed, digging up new fossils for my museum, etc, like I've said before there's nothing like the satisfaction of a job well done in the morning). And now I must find the owner, I have 48 hours to find the owner, I hope I can return it to whoever it belongs to. I guess I'll have to ask around.

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Lost_item

I'll take care of it when I'm donw with my morning chores...

A PERFECT TREE!! I HAVE ANOTHER PERFECT TREE!! YESSSS!! THAT'S MY SECOND ONE IN NINE DAYS!! THREE PERFECT ORANGES, TWICE!!

Today I got the dream suit as a project. So that will be built tomorrow I assume.

I went to scan I celeste as I heard she has the 3ds and I want that for a game or something?
But my museum isn't upgraded so that was a no go.

But once I have the dream suit there was someone who said I could have some bells if I checked out their dream so im excited for that if they are still active

 

[JemAC]

@Michelle D.

I picked up durians and lychees by doing island tours (when you speak to Leilani there is the option to either go on a tour or catch the boat back to your town). There are multiple tours and they seem to change daily but any of the balloon popping, bug catching or fish catching ones should take you to a town that have some of the other island fruit and you can collect them while you're there and then place them in the basket on the island to take back to your town with you. This probably isn't very clear in writing but if you try out a tour next time you're on the island then hopefully it will make more sense - the tours don't require online, Tortimer will be there to explain the rules but there are no other players or villagers while you're on the tour!

Also the catalogue is unlocked when the Nookling Junction upgrades to T&T Mart while customisation is unlocked once you've lived in your town at least 7 days, sold at least 100,000 Bells-worth of items at Re-Tail, catalogued at least 100 furniture items and 50 clothing items (don't need to actually have ordered them from your catalogue but you need to have at least that many registered on it)

 

[Michelle D.]

- Return a lost item to Sylvia, it was her journal.

- Got a Regal bed from Sylvia, put the the Classical bed in my storage and replaced it with the Regal bed.

- Got a frog for Sylvia who needed one as a subject for her painting.

- Got a Canary shirt from Sylvia.

- Victoria wanted to trade her Blue-bar tee for my Canary shirt. I said yes. I've regretted it ever since. I wish I had kept the Canary shirt and I don't like the Blue-bar tee all that much. I can order a Canary shirt from the catalog (I supposed you can order items that you have owned in the past even if you traded them away) once I've unlocked it, but in order to unlock it, I have to spend 15 000 bells at the Nookling Junction and they only sell two items everyday and at this rate it<ll take forever to get to 15 000 bells spent in that shop. The Able Sisters sell Canary shirts, but only during the Spring season. It's a beautiful cream color and you can wear it with white, grey or light blue pants.

http://moridb.com/items/tops/canary-shirt

This animal villager named Molly is wearing one (the only difference is the one you get in a store or from a villager has longue sleeves and is a shirt instead of Tee):

- Got a Peachy Tee from Goose for delivering a package to him that has been delivered to Cube by mistake.

- Goose got jealous because he heard one of my best friends, Curlos, call me chickpea as a term of endearment and wanted to call me that too ('Can I call you that too, or is that only for close friends?" he asked). I said yes. He can call me that, I don't mind. Goose is a nice guy. I might not be as close with him as I am with Curlos and Aurora, but we're friends nonetheless.

- Goose gave me a Salad bar for finding a piece of furniture for his house. I have no use for that, I want a kitchen not a restaurant, so I'll put it in the flea market and see how many bells I can get from it, and I'll use the bells to cover part of the costs for a public works project so the whole village will benefit from this and I'll be giving back to my community.

I- haven't seen Apollo all day. After he didn't turn up around 9 PM, I got worried and went out in the freaking deluge with an umbrella to search for him. I searched the island several times and I couldn't find him anywhere.

I was furious. How could he disappear on me like this? Why was I searching the whole island for him in the (heavy) rain frantic with worry and how could he make me cry like this dammit? Why was I even bothering? What kind of mayor was I if I couldn't find my missing villager?

Then I came across this, someone else had experience the same thing:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/66664583

I decided to search the museum, all the shops that were still open and the neighbors' houses.

The first place I went to was the Re-tail shop. A minute later I hear the door bell and he walks inside. Where is the freaking world was he? I'm going to drop a letter in the mail for him and give him an earful. I had gone to Isabelle and wanted to complain to her by selecting problematic villager, but the only options were "rude language", "has a naughty letter" and "I don't like his clothes", the last one being so narcissistic and self-centered that I hope Isabelle is going to call out the idiot who complain about other people's personal tastes in clothes which are none of their damn business and people have the right to wear whatever they want. There is no "he disappeared on us and made me worry" option. So I just decided not to get Isabelle involved this time and went back out into the rain tos earch for him. And now he turned up at the Re-tail shop as a client and will probably try to buy one of my items from the flea market. He will hear from me in a letter, amrk my word. Also, dang it, why has it been raining for so damn long. Is my "game" broken or what? Most bugs won<t come out when it<s raining and it<s hard then to complete initiative for Meow coupons or getting stags on the island that you can sell for lots of bells back in your village so you can pay for your house expansions and public works projects. I'm just so sick and tired of all the rain, it's been raining in the Crossing universe for like four days now now and it's depressing. When will the sunny weather come back? Don't get me wrong, I love rain in moderation, but I hate when it's raining for days and even my villagers feel miserable because of this depressing weather.

According to this page, May and June is rainy season:

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Weather

And it<s raining most of the freaking time. Ugh. I miss the Summer Solstice Day. Sunny all days and no rain.

It says, "The dry season occurs by early July until September. There is little rain on only a few days a month. Care should be taken to water plants regularly throughout the late summer."

Does that mean that we have to water the plants more than once per day? I was told that once a day was enough and that the flowers only stop glittering when the clock hits 6 o'clock in the morning. I wish someone would tell me what precautions I<m supposed to take in summer here. Also can someone please answer my questions about the public works projects and the campsite in my previous post? I need answers because I am now able to star public works projects and I don't know much about how to go about doing them and how to procede. Your help would be greatly appeciated.

Paintings and statues for the art section of the museum can be purchased from Redd the Fox. He shows up in town about once a week and you'll find his tent at the Event Plaza. He offers 4 items each time but you can only purchase 1 each time he shows up and there is the potentially for some of his items to be fakes.

I'm pretty sure the Picnic Blanket PWP can be demolished, so you could remove it during the winter and rebuild it in the spring if you wanted, but you'd have to pay the bells again to rebuild it.

The campsite is permanent and it will be visited occasionally by random NPC villagers that do not currently live in your town. If you have fewer than 10 villagers, you can convince the visiting campsite villager to move into your town if you want. You can also play games with the campsite villager to get special furniture items. The campsite does not have benches or a fire or anything around it, but there are log benches, cots, and fire pit PWPs that you can build nearby. You can also chop down trees and leave some of the stumps for seating near the campsite.

When it comes to where to build things and how many to build, that really comes down to each individual's decision. It's your town, so it's whatever you prefer. In the end, as long as you are happy with your town, that's what matters.

Thanks for the informations. And yes I know that it really comes down to each individual's decision. But the problem is that some project cannot be demolished or move elsewhere and we're warned online to choose the location very carefully. That's why I ask people what the best spot for the campsite or the projects that can't be demolished are, because if you don't choose the right location and you mess it up you can<t fix it since you can't demolish or move it. I really don't know where I should build my campsite, that's why I'm asking for advices here. Also, how do I get the gold axe? I think there are too many trees in my town and I want to chop them a few of them 'cause I want to grow more than one kind of fruit. Also, I started my New Leaf adventure only nine days ago and I made some rookie mistakes and some of those trees are all bunched up together which is bad. I know better now and I have to fix it. There are too many trees in my town and I have to get rid of some of them. But the normal axe break after about five trees. It's very frustrating. I don't want to spend bells to buy a new one every time it breaks. So how do I get the gold axe? Also, I wouldn't say no to a gold watering can if it means some gold roses in my town. Also, what is a puffy hat? I found one in the Able sisters' store, it's blue, I like it and I bought it. But I'm not sure what it is and what I'm supposed to wear it with. It's blue and I know that blue goes well with white, gray and other shades of blue. But is that hat supposed to have a specific style?

A website says, "The dry season occurs by early July until September. There is little rain on only a few days a month. Care should be taken to water plants regularly throughout the late summer."

Does that mean that we have to water the plants more than once per day? I was told that once a day was enough and that the flowers only stop glittering when the clock hits 6 o'clock in the morning. I wish someone would tell me what precautions I'm supposed to take in the late summer here.

Also, you said "Villagers will sometimes have conversations with each other. They can come away from these interactions happy, sad, or mad. Sometimes, one villager walks away singing and dancing while the other is left upset, which really makes you wonder what just happened. You can also join the conversations if you go up and talk to the villagers while they are still interacting with each other."

And yet, when two of my villagers ping each other and are about to have a conversation, if I approach them, I can't join the conversation, they quickly distance themselves from each other and go their separate ways pretending that nothing happened. They let me join the conversation only once, it was Apollo and Cube, Cube asked Apollo to tell a story from his past and Apollo reluctantly complied. He told the story of how he tried to save a girl from a burning building and then got all sad and walked away and when I tried to talk to him again, he got mad and asked to be left alone. A few minutes later, he was in a better mood. No one is talking about this online. I searched for this story and came up with nothing. Either people are pretending that this didn't happened or they don't like thinking about this dramatic event. But twice yesterday two of my villagers pinged each other and were about to have a conversation and when they saw me they went their separate ways pretending that nothing happened. One sudden movement and you send them scattering away just like the bugs. And the last thing I want is to try to sneak up on them undetected (if that's even possibly, 'cause they probably have sharp hearing) to eavesdrop to their conversations, that would make me feel bad. Did this happen to you?

And did one of your villagers ever disappeared on you early in the morning, gone all day without a warning and then reappearing around 10 PM in the night with no explanation and you search everywhere outside and couldn't find them and they randomly popped up in some shop or the museum? You can see my previous post for more informations. Also, did your villagers ever grew hybrid flowers. My NPC villlagers must have grown them because I'm pretty sure it wasn't me. But it doesn't happen often, I got a pink rose and a pink tulip. Twice I caught some of my villagers plenting flowers, the first time it was Robin and the second time it was Apollo. I really never pegged him for the flower-loving type and knowing him it has a deep meaning behind it.

Also, I saw clovers twice now and I still haven't figure out how to pick it up and put it in my inventory so I can bring it home and display it or wear it in my hair. Having a lucky clover would be great on bad luck days. I got bad luck and tripped over my feet like a klutz on Summer Solstice Day, it was frustrating. Until I can get the lovely phone, I could do with a clover. How do I pick it up and wear it in my hair or take it to my house to display it? I tried to pick it up, but my character pull it instead as if it was weed and destroy the patch, I tried to dig them up, that also destroyed the patch. How do I get one without destroying the whole patch?

Like I said in my previous post:

"Yesterday I saw a patch of clovers in my town, I tried to pick it up like a regular flower but it didn't work and while I was trying to pick it up, I press the wrong button apparently and the clovers were pulled like weed and the patch of clovers was destroyed and gone. I've heard that if you wear a clover in your hair or display one in your room on bad luck days (like when you trip and fall like a klutz) your bad luck will change to neutral luck. I've also heard that clover is very rare. How do I get another clover? And more importantly how do I safely pick it up? Also is there really a difference between clovers and four-leaved clovers or lucky clovers? I don't get it. If they have three leaves aren't they supposed to be called Shamrocks instead of Clovers? Isn't there a distinction? Aren't all clovers in New Leaf lucky? Maybe I should have tried to dig them up with a shovel? I screwed up bad there. But I didn't want to soft reset or quit without saving because I didn't want to lose my progress and there was no guarantee that the patch of clovers would pop up in the same place or at all if they are as rare as some people claim they are.

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Clover "

The fortune teller showed up only once. At this rate I don't think I'll ever get a lucky hat, so maybe a lucky clover would do the trick.

Also, I saw Harvey in Groundcamp dressed in all green, including a big green hat. And there were like three or four patches of clovers but I couldn't use my shovel there. How do I get one of those darn thing so I can display it in my house or wear it in my hair.

Don't you find it frustrating that you have to toss/delete letters because the creators of the game won't let us keep all the letters that our villager friends sent us and they put a ridiculous limit on how many you can have before you have to delete some to free space, that upset me cause I wanted to save all the letters they sent me.

Today I got the dream suit as a project. So that will be built tomorrow I assume.

I went to scan I celeste as I heard she has the 3ds and I want that for a game or something?
But my museum isn't upgraded so that was a no go.

But once I have the dream suit there was someone who said I could have some bells if I checked out their dream so im excited for that if they are still active

I found their thread and it's currently locked as they're not doing it for a while which is sad. But I've still got lots to be happy about
The town is still going great!

I'm probably 20% of the way done removing all of my flowers.
