I'm very patient, I started my town without time traveling. But it's impossible to make as much progress with my town's exterior as I have without time travelling. Especially if you make a mistake, you have to re obtain everything. The blue roses are DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE to breed without time travelling, even if you know how to make them (liquify's blog is the most accurate thing I've ever seen). And acnl doesn't make certain rules clear like breeding, dead trees, bushes (liquify's log is amazing).
I don't think my town's possible without time traveling...
my DA is 5D00-003C-B4A0
i really wish I didn't have to time travel

I totally don't mind waiting. I've seen the way your town looks and you can't make it that nice without cheating (time travelling/hacking)
