I have the Beautiful Town Ordinance on as well, since I have many hybrids flowers I don't want wilting - though I'll need to turn it off at some point if I want to get the golden roses, haha. I also used to have it on the Night Owl Ordinance since I'd play the game late at night a lot, but nowadays I just encourage myself to wake up earlier if I want to get certain things done in-game.
I literally couldn't live without the beautiful town ordinance, but before I finished my town and had a mountain of flowers, I was used to playing at night thanks to the Night Owl ordinance. I miss the Re-tail open until 2 am
Beautiful Town as well, but until now I didn't remember that flowers needed watering. That actually makes total sense but ouch, that game could be rough to the player.
I have night owl on as at the time I would work really late hours and when I got home everything in my island would be closed and I didn’t want to time travel back.
I had night owl originally as I used to play later at night so having the stores open longer was really handy. Once I no longer did that though I switched to beautiful as I started to build up my flower collection.
the beautiful town ordinance is just too goated. i remember i used to flip flop between that one and the night owl ordinance because shops close later. but then i eventually realized i could just start time travelling to play earlier in the day while the beautiful town ordinance is set.
I also started with night owl since I always played later in the evening but ended up switching & staying with beautiful town. flowers wilting and the weeds were stressing me out
I had the night owl ordinance on since I would play New Leaf well into the night, so it honestly helped me a lot to be able to still access the shops much later than normal.
I have the Beautiful Town ordinance active in three of my four towns because I have a lot of hybrid flowers that I don't want to have to water and worry about wilting.
I have the Night Owl ordinance active in my circus/magic show town because I'm farming golden roses. The mayor of the town is the ringmaster of the circus and also a magician, and she learned magic from a mage who is another of the playable characters. As such, I felt like the golden roses fit the vibe of the town really well. Additionally, I'm more of a night owl in real life and appreciate the stores being open later, but also the town itself looks better in the evening/at night since I have the illuminated heart PWPs on either side of the mayor's house.
As with most of the people who have voted, I have the Beautiful Town ordinance in effect. Sometimes I think about changing it to the Night Owl ordinance because I feel like I'm more active during nighttime, but as of now I have yet to actually go about ordinance-changing.
