@Michelle D.
You won't be able to get the Golden Axe until you've bought at least 50 tree saplings from Leif. Since he only sells one a day, that means you'll have to buy one every day for at least 50 days to get the Golden Axe. The golden tools aren't easy to get.

I could be mistaken, but I think the puffy hat is based on the Russian hats people wear in the winter. I may be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.

You never have to water the flowers more than once a day, even during the dry season.

I have had villagers who are difficult to find. I usually check in the shops and museum and will find them there, but sometimes no matter how much I look, they are nowhere to be found.

Villagers will not plant hybrid flowers, but they can water flowers next to each other which can produce hybrid flowers. The hybrids could also come from you watering the flowers.

Clovers are considered weeds and most of the time, you will just pull them like a regular weed. Once in a while, you will pull one and it will be a lucky clover that goes in your inventory, but they are rare. You also can't affect the campgrounds with Harvey at all. No pulling weeds or digging or anything.

I'm not sure if you know this but you can store letters at the post office by talking to Pelly or Phyllis. There is still a limit to how much space you have, but it's a lot more than your mail box will let you hold.

As for where to place the campsite, I guess my suggestion would be to place it out of the way, maybe in a corner of the map towards the north or something. When I think of camping, I think of being off the beaten path, so I figure it might go best somewhere away from the heart of town. But that's just my opinion, of course.
 
- I bought a nice "Blue diamond shirt" at the Able sisters' shop. It goes well with my "Gray sweatpants" and my blue "Puffy hat". I wish I could take a picture of my character and show you folks (but I don't have the tech for that). Seriously, try it, wear those three things together and you'll see just how much they go well together.

- I was gifted a purple "Four-ball Tee", it goes well with "black formal pants" and a "picnic umbrella". Purple and black go well together, then again black goes well with everything.

- The day before I bought a pair of "Jinbei shorts" at the Able sisters' shop. I wish I had the "Jinbei top" that goes with it.

That's what it looks like in our world:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Jinbei_Set.jpg

https://japanese-clothing.com/blogs/japanese-clothing-blog/what-is-jinbei

This is the information I gathered:

(Quote) "The great thing about Jinbei is that they pass both as pajamas and as casual wear that can be worn outside the house. Jinbei are usually worn as a form of nightwear or house clothes, and are considered very informal clothing. Normally, Jinbei are typically only worn outside of the house when travelling short distances, such as to go on a local errand, collecting the mail or while shopping." (Unquote)

Interesting. I like it. I hope I will see the top that goes with the shorts at the Able sisters' shop soon. Also, it's cool that it can be worn inside the house/in bed as pyjamas AND outside when getting the mail or shopping. I have a "Regal bed" in my room and I'll customize it so that the beddings are purple, my favorite color. And from what I've heard, the Able sisters sell blue and pink PJs, I definitely will buy those.

The day before I bought a "Pink Knit hat", I put it in my storage unit, I'm gonna wear it this fall/winter. I definitely want to buy the other three knit hats, there's; green, orange (there's a bit of blue on it too), and purple. Especially the purple one, it's my favorite color.

The knit hats:

Folks, what's this I see and hear about online about Qr codes and people creating cool clothing patterns? Please enlighten me 'cause that sure seem like something I'd like to know about. Also, do you know someone who has a town named Anytown? I saw a pattern in the Able sisters' shop and then a few days ago I came across my friend, Aurora the penguin, and she told me about the shirt she was wearing and it was the same pattern I saw in the shop and she said that the pattern came from someone a town named Anytown and that it was called "Ducky tank". So my NPC villagers can wear patterns created by humans from other towns even though I have never connected with other players online ever since I started the "game" ten days ago?

- I was gifted a "Cream sofa" by one of my NPC villagers, it was on my list of things I wanted to buy and now I got it for free.

- I was also gifted a "modern wardrobe", a "Blue table", a "Green pantry", and a "Kitchen island".

- I received the "Kitchen counter" I ordered with some of my Meow coupons.

- I bought a "Papa bear" at the Nookling Junction store (It's a big stuffed Teddy bear, and those plush bears are customizable). But It'll stay in my storage unit for a while because I don't yet have enough space in my house for that. I still have only one room and I'm about to get the second expansion (when the clock hit 6 AM my room will now be expanded to its maximum size, you always have to wait until the next day after you made the arrangements when you want to expand a room or build another one). After that I can build the rooms upstairs and expand them in a non-linear fashion and in any order I want.

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

Isn't that cute? :)

Folks, what's a "spotlight item" and how do you get one? One of the four plush bears is a "spotlight item". How would one go about getting this "spotlight item" to complete their collection or set and have all four of them? Please, fill me in. Because the "Mama bear" and the "Vintage radio" are "spotlight items" and I would love to get those items. I'll have a "CD player" in my study room and a "Vintage radio" in my bedroom. Folks, does the stereos only play K.K songs and do they also play radio programs? It would be great if there were radio programs too. I know the TV has sound. One of my NPC villagers has a TV and there was a cartoon on the TV with a cat chasing a mouse and sounds like straight from "Tom and Jerry" (meowing and squeaking I think).

Oh look what I found:

https://acnewleaf.fandom.com/wiki/TV_Schedule

That's sooo cool! There are comedies, news, movies, and game shows! I'll definitely get a "Flat screen TV" for my living room!

- I received a Green clock for winning a game of hide-and-seek and finding Curlos the sheep, Apollo the eagle, and Cube the penguin under 15 minutes (I hanged the clock on my wall, it tells you what time it is). In the Crossing universe even the adults and the celebrities play hide-and-seek, call you chickpea, and have a playroom wallpaper or playroom flooring in their rooms and no one there ever tells you "you're too old for this, you're too old for that". Why can't our world be more like this? And why won't people in our world cut adults like me some slack? Cut children some slack. Cut adults some slack. Cut ourselves slack, too. We are all only human. 😢

- To my delight I found a red-lily seed in the Gardening center today. I love lillies and I definitely want to plant some in my town.

- Cyrus is now awake for some reason. I don't know what I did that was so special but he's awake and apparently I can now customize items. But I only have two purple ores and I've heard that you need three ores of the same color to customize an item. I wish I could trade my blue, green and red ores for purple ores. It's my favorite color and I want it in my house. Also I noticed that Tom's merchandise change everyday, but when will he sell the purple roofs (he sells "Purple roof" and "Purple shingle roof")? I want a purple roof. And also the "Brown brick exterior" and the "White fence". I'm just disappointed that there isn't a purple door and a purple mail box. But I was thinking of getting the "Stainless mail box", because you can't go wrong with this one, it will go well with any color. And white (like a white fence) goes well with anything. But I have to choose a door. Now, folks could you please help me and tell me what door or doors sold at Nook's home would go well with a purple roof? Your advices are greatly appreciated. Also, can you tell me the difference between the "Purple roof" and the "Purple shingle roof"? I will have to know the difference when I choose which one I'm going to buy.

- I intend to buy a lot of tree saplings in the Gardening Center. There are too many trees in my town I think and some of them are all bunched up together which is bad, I made some rookie mistakes since I've only started playing like 10 days ago. I'll have to chop down some of trees since there are too many and I'll also have to replace some of the trees with other trees because I want to grow more than just or two types of fruit. If I buy 50 tree saplings at the Gardening Center I'll get the gold axe, that's what it says on the websites. It says I have to buy 50 saplings, it doesn't say anything about planting them. I can sell them at the Re-tail shop afterward. When I'm done choping down some trees and replacing some of the trees with other trees (like a few orange trees with pear, mango, lemon and cherry trees for a well balanced diversity of fruit trees), then I'll decide if I want to buy a few tree saplings maybe four or five and add them to my town. But right now I think I have too many trees. I need to fix and clean this. And I'll get to work as soon as I get the unbreakable golden axe. Buying a new regular axe every time it breaks (every five or six trees) just isn't worth it and it's a waste of money in the long run. When I have the gold axe, the proper tool, I'm gonna fix this and it'll be a piece of cake.

- By the way, I have enough money to buy the second room expansion (198 000 bells). I caught a bunch of stags and beetles on the island and got a couple hundreds of thousands of bells from selling them at the Re-tail shop. I currently have 506 000 bells. I have enough bells for the second room expansion (198 000) and THREE public works projects; the campsite (59 000 bells), the Fire pit (46 000 bells) and the Fire hydrant (32 600 bells). And I'm still left with 169 600 bells so I can buy a few items in the shop in Main Street. and I will still be left with over 120 000 bells left at the very least that I can save for later. This is AWESOME. And this is after only four or five trips to the island. Folks the stags and beetles will make you rich. Sell them at the Retail-shop in your town. You will make between 600k and 900k daily. Enough to build and expand your rooms, cover the costs of many PWPs, be left with tons of bells to buys clothes, accessories, shoes, furnitures, etc, and still be left with plenty of bells you can save for later.

The people in the comment section here are right:


Folks I needs some informations on the PWPs. What do you do if Isabelle give you a list of PWPs to choose from and some of the projects you want are not on the list? How do you get them or unlock them? The campsite is there on the list, and the Fire Hydrant too (every town needs a fire hydrant, that's just basic logic and safety) and that's going to be my first and third PWPs respectively. But I was going for the Fire pit as my second PWP, but it's not on the list of PWPs that Isabelle gave me. I wanted to have this one for the summer season, for early July. How do I get the Fire pit PWP quickly, folks?

- LadyDestani, you said "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 don't think statues can only be purchased from redd. I've seen a statue for sale in Timmy and Tommy's shop once or maybe some villager of mine put one in the fela market. But I'm pretty sure I saw one of a man or an elf way before I've even heard of the fox. Also if I you can buy only one item from Redd every week, it'll take forever to get to the amount it takes to unlock the second floor of the museum and by extend the Roost Café PWP. And the websites are not even clear about the requirements.

Some websites say that you need to donate 50 items and at least one donation in each category of the museum:

"The second floor unlocks when a minimum of 20 items, at least 1 from each of the four categories, has been donated to the museum and the player has talked to Blathers at least once on 14 different days. The renovation will then be unlocked as a Public Works Project that costs 198,000 Bells to complete."

"The Café costs 298,000 Bells. It is requested as a project by Blathers one week after the Museum's second floor has been built if the player has donated at least 50 items to the Museum and at least one donation in each category of the Museum. After one week, Blathers can be seen thinking. Upon talking to him, Blathers will tell the player about the Café and it will be unlocked as a public work project."

And others say that you need to donate 20 or 50 items in each category. I don't know. They just don't seem to know what they're talking about. I sure hope it's 50 items total and at least one donation in each category. Because if you can buy only one painting from the fox every weeks, it would take 20 or 50 weeks to get enough painting if more than one donation in each category is required. Because I do have +50 donations in my museum and at least one in each category. I have one donation in the painting category. So I hope the requirement are 50 total and at least one in each category. But I'll have to wait a few more days because I started the "game" on July 17th (it's only be nine or ten days) and you have to talk to Blathers at least once on 14 different days and I'm not sure I spoke to Blathers every single day. For example, I think there is one day where I didn't speak to him at all. But it shouldn't be long now. About five or six days and that should do it.

A few trips to the island and some stags and I have enough money to cover the costs of at least two PWPs. So now that I unlocked the island I shouldn't struggle with getting lots of bells fast anymore and I'll be able to cover the costs of all the PWPs I want to get done and I'll be able to save some money for building more rooms and expanding them. I shouldn even have plenty of bells left to buy the clothes, shoes and furnitures I want in Main Street.

Hey, folk, when I first start playing the "game" like ten days ago I was the only person in Main Street and then days later some of my villagers started showing up in Main Street and even in some of the shops, mainly the Able sisters' shop. Did this happen to you?

I really have to do reasearch online and make a list of all the holidays, events, celebrations in ACNL and all the special items you can get on those days, and buy a calendar and write the dates on my calendar. I don't want to miss out on anything. I can't wait to see the fireworks in August, that's gonna be awesome (I hope I can get my hands on the Bulb boppers and buy some fireworks and get a lovely phone, I don't like the lovely phone but I can use it only once a day to find out my lucky item and leave it in my storage unit the rest of the time, I plan to get the Office phone with Meow coupons, it doesn't tell you your fortune but at least it looks more modern and it's not bright pink). If I can't go see the fireworks in my world this summer, I can at least watch them with my villagers in the Crossing universe and we'll have a lot of fun.

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

And sometimes I have a fireworks Youtube playlist in the background during the summer season when I'm cleaning the house or drawing because I love the fireworks festivals:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzG_3q50DuPl7RJM2t8MF3SGLbCY2kfVX

- What's this I hear about clapping emoji or emotions? Some people said they used a clapping emoji to get some of their villagers to applaud the fireworks with them. And who is Dr. Shrunk? How do you unlock this? All I know about this guy is I've been warned to tell him no if he offers to build a club in town because only if I say no to him can I build the LOL Club and I definitely want the LOL club and I'll want to get Slider's songs eventually. I want to get my hands on the "CD player". But all I've got for now is an outdated "Record player" and of course right now I don't have any downloaded songs in it and I won't until I get to build the LOL club. But my priorities for now is the campsite, the fire pit, the fire hydrant and the Roost café, after that I'll work on the LOL club, the fountain, the bench, and the water fountain. Eventually I'm going to get the hammock, the street lamp, the modern bench, the illuminated clock or flower clock (I haven't yet decided which one, it's a difficult choice to make and I love both), the illuminated arch or flower arch (same here), the instrument shelter, the lighthouse, and the windmill. I'm looking forward to working on my PWPs and making my town beautiful.

Folks, I'll ask again, because I didn't get any reply on this. The campsite is permanent and cannot be demolished or moved so the websites warn people to choose the location very careful. So please give me some advices and tell me what you think is the best or ideal spot for the campsite, I need advices and help choosing a location for the campsite. Your help would greatly be appreciated.

Animal Crossing in a few words:

You are on a deserted island where the animals evolved self-awareness and high intelligence, where the animals can walk on two legs and talk. The humans there live in harmony with the animals. There is no freaking covid-19 or any other deadly disease. Any illness can be cured with a simple medicine made with wasp nest and weeds. There, the humans and animals don't judge you based on your skin color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and no one cares if you wear "feminine clothes" or "masculine clothes" because everyone is open minded and there isn't that much bigotry. There, they are holding festivals. People as well as the animals are having fun. Girls giggling, children laughing, people eating delicious food. Fireworks burst far away but occasionally you can hear a single firework explodes if it is too nearby. Enjoy the festivals and the fireworks!

@Michelle D.

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Public_Works_Projects - All the PWPs should be listed here along with the villagers that will request them, based on their personality. There doesn't seem to be a way to speed up requests or to get a certain PWP requested unfortunately but as long as you have at least one jock villager then you have a chance that the fire pit will be requested.

https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Villager_list_(New_Leaf) - This is the villager list for NL, along with their personalities, in case you needed to check what personality any villager had.

Dr Shrunk is unlocked after Nookling Junction has upgraded to T&T Mart, he'll visit your town and ask for permission to build his new business. If you say 'Yes' he'll ask you to collect signatures from your villagers (I think you need 6 and the option to get a signature comes up when you talk to your villagers) and once you've collected them all Club LOL will be built. If you say 'No' then you don't collect signatures and the club won't be built until you request it at the town hall from the PWP list.

I can't really provide much advice for the campsite as I didn't put too much thought into mine, other then finding a relatively bare spot in my town - it's in the north and quite close to the train station but far away from Re-Tail and most of the houses, mine is also relatively close to the water and is surrounded by flowers. I like @LadyDestani's off the beaten path suggestion, anywhere that feels secluded or rural seems suitable for a campsite, or maybe perhaps near the entrance hill to Harvey's campground to have a sort of camping area. When you find an area that you think is suitable Isabelle will follow you to the spot and allow you to visualise what it will look like when built and will ask if you're happy with the placement or if you want to find a different spot before you agree to build it so you're able to get an idea of what it will look like before you commit to building it which I'd suggest doing if you're stuck on where to place it.
 
Worked on my entrance. My current island has a tropical theme, and I am going for a much less formal, less fancy aesthetic. I’m using a terrific dirt path I found. lots of flowers, steppingstones and weeds. I’m going to be much more wind-y with my paths. I saw on a YouTube walk-through where someone had planted the palm trees in a patch of sand on the grass. Hadn’t thought of that! So now I am busy planting some palm trees around the entrance of my island.
 
- Found a third piece of purple ore.

- Went to the Re-tail shop to have my "Regal bed" customized. It's now purple, my favorite color. The weird thing is, he didn't take or ask for my ore. Well apparently, some of those customizations require ores, others don't require ore. So I'll to think carefully about what piece of furniture I will customize with my three purple ore. What disappoints me is there isn't an option where you can trade a ore for a different kind of ore. I would have traded my blue and red ores for more purple ores. When I get a chance, I'll customize my blue table, classic table, green clock, modern wardrobe, papa bear, modern desk, and common chair.

- One of my villagers gave me an apple. Now I have orange, pear, cherry, and apple. I'm only missing the peach. It shouldn't take long before one of my villagers give me one. Then I can grow a variety of different fruit.

- I caught one of my villagers changing her shirt (it has the same sound and animation as when YOU change your shirt) then she and Cube started singing and dancing and Robin joined in. When I talk to Aurora, she said that they were happy. I don't know what the heck happened there, but whatever. If they're happy I guess that's all that matter. Though it feels awkward to see Aurora with a white shirt instead of her usual "Ducky tank" from Anytown that she got from the Able sisters' shop. Though I don't know how she got that pattern. I never connected online with anyone in the past ten days and I honestly didn't know that one of your NPC villagers buy patterns made by humans from other towns. I wonder who is this person who designed the "Ducky tank" pattern and what Anytown looks like. Folks, is there a tutorial on how to learn how to make your own patterns? And if you create your own pattern and have it printed on a shirt, does the NPC villager wear it just like he or she wear the shirts you bought from stores and mailed to them? Because if the answer is yes, imagine all the possibilities, you can design very unique shirts for all of your NPC villagers.

- The Nookling Junction will be closed for a few days because they're upgrading to the T&T Mart. I can't wait. I hope they will soon sell a trash bin so I can dispose of trash for free, according to websites Timmy and Tommy are supposed to sell a trash bin or a trash can but I haven't seen a single one of those in their store in the last nine days which is how long I've had and started the "game". Maybe now that the brothers are upgrading their store, they'll finally sell one. It's been built right now. I love the construction sounds (just like I loved it in Majora's Mask), it makes my town even more lively and it shows that the people building those stores love working on projects.

- Sable isn't shy anymore and she even talked to me. They're building the Kick store next door. I'll be able to buy socks and shoes. It was about time. It's been onlu nine days since I've become mayor but I was tired of always wearing the same shoes. Also, I want to buy a raincoat and rain boots. Now all I have to do to unlock Shampoodle is spend 10 000 bells, this can be split between Kicks and Able sisters. And Shampoodle will only open if Kicks has been open for ten days. Once you've spent 10 000 bells and waited ten more days, Shampoodle will be built above Able sisters. Shampoodle will take four days to build and once it's done you can tweak your character's appearance and change her or his hairstyle, hair color, and eye color. That's what the websites say. I definitely dig the purple hair color ("Moody") which is the first one I will go for. And I will definitely try silvery white ("Angel wing") and sky blue ("Clear sky") at some point.

- Apollo sent me an invitation letter. As the mayor, I'm expected to drop by a villager's house for their birthday and bring a gift. According to the websites, Apollo's favorite style is "rock" and his favorite color is white. I'll have to decide on a gift. Thank God I have a few days to choose a gift and buy it.

https://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/list-of-holidays-events

Edit:

Folks, I made a mistake and I don't know what to do. There was a wrapped up present or package in my inventory and I thought it was something that had been gifted to me by one of my villagers so I unwrapped it and put it in my storage. My close friend Aurora just reminded to delivered her package to Robin and now I realize that I made a mistake. I completely forgot about the delivery and thought this package was for me. I can't even remember what item in my storage it was. So many of my villagers give me gifts in person or in the mail that I can't remember everything that was given to me and who sent or gave it to me. If it's the apple, it's far too late because I plant it in the soil to grow more (it was one single apple and since I didn't have that fruit I used it to grow more) What do I do now? I hope this genuine mistake doesn't ruin my friendship with Aurora. This kind of thing never happens to me. Because I alway deliver packages that belong to someone else right away and open my own right away to make sure I don't mix them up, but this time I think I messed up. I was so focussed on thinking of gift for Apollo's birthday and getting a ton of money to cover the costs of more PWPs so I can make my town better and more beautiful for my villagers and myself that I forgot about the package. What do I do now? I don't know how to do this and since I saved a couple of times between then and now, it's far too late now to soft reset and fix it that way. Get back to me on this ASAP, please. If I can't fix this, I'll at least send something good to Robin in the mail as a compensation along with an apology letter.

Edit:

I agree with "that2ndguy":

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/68780557

It's decided. That's where I'll build mine too. I'll have to chop most of the trees (no more than 7 or 8 and there are too many trees in my town anyways). I guess I'll have to buy one or two breakable axes (God, I can't wait to get the unbreakable golden axe which you get only after you're bought 50 tree saplings, Once I have the golden axe I can take care of the rest of the town, I'll remove some trees and replace others so there are less trees and so I can grow more than one or two types of fruit. For now, I'll be working on my campsite. I'll put my campsite near the train tracks all the way in the top right corner of my map. My campsite will be near the train tracks, but it'll also be right in front of my town's waterfall so it's out of the way and they get a nice view with calming waterfall noises. And I think I'll keep the rock and a tree stump so we can sit down. "that2ndguy" chose the perfect spot and I'm glad for the help I get online when I have to choose a good or ideal spot for a specific PWP. I will be busy tomorrow, but the day after that I'll build my campsite. It'll be my first PWP. A username "Trickilicky" said that he did a tree log and some mushrooms and wild flowers to decorate. But I don't know how to create a log. When I chopped down a tree or two before, they just disappeared after they fell, there was no long left. And in the the like ten days I've been playing now I haven't seen a single mushroom. Care to fill me in?

You can search online for QR codes and scan in ones made by other people once you've talked to Sable enough times and opened up the Sewing Machine. There's also a section on these forums where some people have uploaded QR codes you can use.
ACNL Patterns

The designs by Anytown are standard designs that everyone starts out with. You have the option to change them if you want and villagers will sometimes wear the shirt designs.

Spotlight items will become available once the Nookling shop has been expanded to a certain point. I don't recall which expansion it is, but you will get one spotlight item on random days, not every day.

Most of the music players only play K.K. songs, but the Vintage Radio does not. It has an antique radio sound when you turn it on. I'm not sure if it plays different radio programs or music like the TV.

Villagers will ping you to request more PWPs, so that's how you get the ones that aren't currently on your list. They do this randomly and you can't force them to request certain ones, so it can take months or even years to open them all up.

There may be statue-like items that are sold by Timmy and Tommy, but they are just for decorating and cannot be donated to the museum. The same goes for statues received from Gulliver. The only way to get artwork for the museum is purchasing it from Redd or occasionally a villager may offer you a painting. I'm almost positive you just need 1 item in each section of the museum and the total of 50 or so items to unlock the cafe.

Dr. Shrunk will appear outside your house one day when you start the game and you'll need to ask your villagers to sign a petition to open Club LOL. If you want Club LOL, you don't want to say no to him. Once you've got Club LOL, you can get random emotions from Shrunk by bringing him a piece of fruit during the day. He'll only give you one per day.

If you've already saved after opening the package, there really isn't a way to fix it. Even if you were to talk to Robin with the item in your inventory, I don't think it would give you the option of giving it to her. But I don't think it will do much damage to your friendship. The villagers are very forgiving in this game.

Redd can't possibly be the only way to get paintings in this game. Some people say he's a thief and a criminal who scammed Tom out of his money and also someone told me on here that Redd can sell you "fakes" and I doubt you can get your money back. So aren't there any other way to get painting and buy them from someone who won't scam you?

That's not what I heard about Shrunk. I've heard that you have to say no to him if you want club LOL, because if you say yes he'll build his own club instead of club LOL and you can only have one club in your town and if there's another club you won't be able to get club LOL. That's what I've heard. So who is right and who is wrong here? They can't both be right. So which one is it?

Yeah, what happened with that package was a genuine mistake. Thank you, anyhow.

You said, "Villagers will ping you to request more PWPs, so that's how you get the ones that aren't currently on your list. They do this randomly and you can't force them to request certain ones, so it can take months or even years to open them all up."

Darn it, I wanted the Fire pit and it's not on the list Isabelle gave me yet. I was looking forward to having my own Fire pit and crackling fire with tree stumps for seats, etc. What a bummer. I would have enjoyed chilling there on the summer evening, and after the fireworks in August. I guess I'll have to settle for the one in Groundcamp. By the way, how do you create sitting log like the one in Groundcamp? Online a guy said he made one but he didn't say how and when I chopped down trees the wood would just disappear and I didn't see any log. I'll have to remove more trees when I get the unbreakable golden axe because there are too many trees in my town and I want to grow more than one type of fruit. In the meantime, I will only chop down the trees that stand in the way of my PWPs, I will only leave one or two trees on each of the two sites. My first and second PWPs will be the campsite and the Fire hydrant (every town needs a fire hydrant, it's just basic logic and safety). Then I'll probably add a fountain, a bench, a drinking fountain, a street lamp, a clock and some flower arch or something. And of course the Roost Café and the Club LOL. If you go on Main Street on the far left, there's a bench where you can sit, relax and listen to the sound of the ocean waves, and if you're holding an umbrella, your character can still protect herself from the rain with it even when she is sitting on bench. That's nice.

I love this ambience:

@Michelle D. If you say yes to Shrunk he will build Club LOL, once you've gathered signatures from some of your villagers, and if you say no then you can request to build it later from the pwp list so whether you say 'yes' or 'no' to him you'll get Club LOL.

Can you tell me what the hell is going on here? I talked to Aurora and Victoria this morning and they said that they talked to Apollo and that he was thinking of moving out and that I should talk to him. But when I talk to him outside, he says nothing of the sort. He only talk about the great friendships that the vilagers are developing and various other things like rainy days, trying sporty clothes, and how the tree I planted on my first day is watching over us. He didn't say anything to me about moving out nor did he ping me about it.

Isabelle didn't say anything about this being his last day on the island (some website said that's what Isabelle might say), just something abou my citizens' satisfaction "I wonder if they could maybe pay a bit more attention to our town... perhaps just a little?"

See I really don't get that. I've been mayor for less than 2 weeks now. I had to do some trip to the island to get beetles amnd stags so I could sell them in the Re-tail shop in an attempt to get enough money to over the high costs of PWPs, I wattered the flowers, pulled the weed, even fished out some of the trash out of the ocean, grew a lot of fruit trees and started planting more flowers, planned some PWPs, building friendships with my villagers, sending them stuff and letters in the mail. The major thing I was focussed on is making my two a better and more beautiful place for all of my villagers and myself and I've been working hard on that from the beginning. Where in the world do they get this idea that I'm not paying attention to our town? Also, I was going to start my first PWP today as I found the perfect spot, and then a second one. Maybe both in the same days if I can. Do these people learn patience? I'm doing my damn best do be a good mayor, and this is what I get. You told me in your previous post that villagers are pretty forgiving in this game (the incident with the package which was a genuine mistake). But who expect so much from someone who has been mayor for only about 14 days? And did Aurora and Victoria heard wrong? Was it a misunderstanding? Because when I talked to Apollo afterward he didn't say anything to me about moving out. Vuctoria added "But I sure hope Apollo was just pulling my led (when he said he want to move out). Who would ever want to leave this place?!" Did Aurora and Victoria heard wrong? Was it a misunderstanding? should I talk to him inside his house instead of outside? I don't know at what time of the day his door is unlocked, I thought it was random, but I could be wrong. Maybe you can tell me. We've been friend for about a week. He sent me an invitation for his birthday yesterday and I bought a gift for him and there was supposed to be a birthday party at his house on the 4th of July.

I tried this method, but so far i'm not successful:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/71698160

Sometimes I can't even find him anywhere on the island no matter how hard I search and then he jusr reppaear out of the blue to buy some of my fruit at the Re-tail shop's flea market, thenm he's gone again. How am I supposed to get him to ping me if I can't even find him? All I know is Aurora and Virtoria saud something and Apollo keeps disappearing on me and I don't know when his door is unlocked or how to get him to ping me.

If he wants to move out how do I stop him from leaving? What am I gonna do then?

Get back to me on this ASAP, please. I don't wnat any of my villagers to move out.

Somebody please help. :cry:😭

A lot of what happens in Animal Crossing games is dependent upon RNG (random number generator - meaning the computer just randomly deciding things). This includes villagers pinging you and villagers deciding to move out. Villagers will ask to move regularly regardless of your friendship or town ranking. It's just the way the game works.

In the Switch game, (Animal Crossing New Horizons) villagers will stay when you tell them to, but in New Leaf, the RNG can allow the villagers to leave regardless of the player's decisions or sometimes without informing the player.

You can ask them to stay when they ping you, but again, it is based on RNG, so you can try to reset without saving (and lose your progress from that session) until they make the decision you want. I haven't done this before so I'm not sure if or how often it works. If you reset without saving, Isabelle will comment that you didn't save when you start the game back up.

You can learn more about villager rumors and moving out in this thread: https://www.belltreeforums.com/threads/villager-moving-rumors-guide.145364/

This thread is intended for town updates, so If you have more questions about the game, there is a separate thread dedicated to answering questions. There are a lot of questions answered on the first page of that thread as well: https://www.belltreeforums.com/threads/ask-ac-nl-questions-here-please-read-before-posting-here-or-making-a-new-thread.126291/

Someone online said to save and quit and reload and not talk to any villager and just walk around said villager and he should ping you. It worked. Apollo pinged me. I managed to convince him to stay. I'm so happy he's not leaving. 😭
 
well currently i was struggling on a big space on my island what should i decorate it and i thought of a mario theme park for my kidcore island and i finished getting stuff for my house all i need is decorating which is easy sense i planned it!
 
In Sakura:
- Talked to all of my villagers and completed some requests.
- Completed all daily maintenance in my town.

In Nocturne:
- Talked to all of my villagers and completed some requests.
- Found all 3 gyroids since it rained in my town yesterday.
- Found the ore rock.
- Updated my dream address for the 5000 bells.
- Bought all of the items I needed on Main Street except for Gracie's items.
- Bought both Fortune Cookies and got an Arwing and a Wii U Console.
- Completed a daily Meow task by paying off 5000 bells of my current loan.
 
- I commanded and received two or three things from the catalogue now that the Nookling Junction was upgraded to the T&T Mart. I got another Canary shirt because I regret I ever traded the first one (and I don't like the Blue-bar tee I was traded for it all that much), among other things. I also ordered a baseball shirt from the catalogue as a birthday gift for Apollo (I buy everything in the stores, except for Tom's stuff because he never seem to have want I want in terms of mail box, exterior and roof, I'm after the brown brick extrerior, purple shingle roof, and stainless steel mail box, but so far he doesn't have any of that, and he change his stock everyday, I buy everything I see in the stores to unlock the other stuff and to register the item in the catalogue to make them orderable, those items sold in the stores are not that expensive, only a very few things here and there cost like 2000 bells, and everything else is under 2000 bells, I sell the item I don't want or sell them in the flea market) In the meantime, he can wear the MVP player shirt I dropped in the mail for him.

Also, for those who already know:

https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17437/~/how-to-link-animal-crossing

- I farmed stags, beetles and sharks on the island. I want to have a second floor room built and it's like 298 000 bells. And I want to finance at least tow more PWPs. The campsite will be finished from 6:00 AM. Then I'll do the Fire hydrant. And after that we'll see what has and has not been added to the PWP list. I really want a Fire pit, but can't do it until it is requested by villagers. I guess I'll have to settle for the one in Ground camp for now. I'm farming and selling because, for now, I want to be able to cover the costs of two PWPs AND build the first room on the 2nd floor of my house, both of which are insanely expensive.

By the way, here is something very funny:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/67288038

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/997811-animal-crossing-new-leaf/66484507


🤣🤣

That on the other hand isn't funny at all:

"I guess that's one of the perks to being a girl. Kapp'n mostly sings terrible love songs for me. On the other hand, his flirting is more than a little creepy, especially considering he has a wife and kid."

First of all my character is technically female (though someone who looks partly feminine can also be gender-fluid or non-binary) and he still sang the buttcrack joke song, so I doubt this has anything to do with your character's gender. Though I also got some flirty songs too, now if he tries to flirt I just rapidly tap B and skip the song. Also, animals flirting with humans is just gross. This game is supposed to be about platonic friendship between humans and animals. Can the creators of the games or the translators stop hinting at bestiality or zoophilia or making beastiality or zoophilia inuendos? It's just gross and sick. And even if it wasn't what future would a human and an animal have together as more than platonic friends since they are romantically and reproductively incompatible? And I mean what human in their right mind is into a creature with webbed fingers, webbed toes, feathers, fur, claws, talons, beaks, spikes, tails, whiskers, etc, etc? And as I and other people have said before, "I love my animal villagers, but not like that". Also, flirting with people when you have a wife and kid like Kapp'n does, that's just wrong. Are the games' creators now promoting and encouraging cheating or adultery and homewrecking? Haven't they forgotten that there are minors playing this game and that the last thing game creators should do is try to normalize and trivialize cheating and homewrecking

Kaap'n is a creepy character overall. If there are other ways to the go to the island, please let me know. If there isn't, well I guess I'll just be tapping the B button repeatedly and skipping the songs..https://en-americas-support.nintend...appy-home-designer-data-(animal-crossing:-new
