ACNL Rant Discussion Thread

Truly the only problem I have with New Leaf is the grass deterioration. Its such a step up from City Folk though. I never run in my towns and only walk but it still occurs. It never really bothers me too much honestly as its such small spots. I know why it happens, its because I play wayyyy too much hahaha.
 
Has anyone been having trouble with their game crashing? This happened to me yesterday, multiple times while I was taking tours on the island the game closed out and lost everything I've done. I've never had this happen before. But it's really frustrating and worrisome
Well, if I am playing online, I deal with internet disconnection issues a lot (dealt with it earlier today in fact). I play on a digital copy, so I don't have to worry about a cartridge getting worn out.
 
The Petaltail Dragonfly. I restarted my museum completion town because it was just impossible to find and restarted it. This time I will be chopping every single tree down because then maybe, just maybe, this darn thing will spawn!!

I can probably count the number of times I caught one on one hand.

I know! They’re so annoying to find, especially with that 3 hour window! The only upside is that compared to City Folk, I think they’re slower, but they’re a lot rarer
 
As a time traveler, I didn’t have any problem catching the fish and bugs in ACNL. And the whole time I played ACNL, I completed the museum four times (once per town).
 
Update: while looking for the Dorado I found 3?! I caught two and lost one but I was expecting to have to go the deforestation route 😭 this save file is magical
 
Ugh, I remember my frustration with the mole cricket, it was certainly easier to catch than the scorpion, but every time I dug holes all over the town then I couldn't even catch it because I got trapped in a maze of holes lol
The truth is I looked for very few critters by looking for guides, most of them I simply caught without waiting for them. I think just when you're not looking for it, they come🥲
 
can my character PLEEEAAASSSEEE stop sneezing and shivering when she exits her house and gets out of the water?! -.-

Normally, this means that your outfit is not warm enough for winter! If you wear something "warmer" such as long sleeves or hats they will stop. Today is the 25th however, the grass has turned green and spring is here so you do not have to worry anymore!

In summer your character sweats if you wear long-sleeve / winter clothes and your character shivers / sneezes when you wear short -sleeves!

I don't think there's a way to not shiver and shake if it's coming out of the water, though. Winter ocean is gonna be cold no matter what.

My character did something similar yesterday despite it being Spring
 
Honestly, I've always had the worst luck with spawning a king salmon, coupled with my lack of playing the game during the month of September (because I was always focused on the beginning of school). It's still the only fish (and I caught all the bugs too) that I had never managed to catch. I told myself I wouldn't time travel for the last few fish/bugs/deep sea creatures I needed to complete my encyclopedias, so I vowed to just catch it naturally in September.. however I still don't play it in September since I don't typically play Animal Crossing during that time of year (since I never established the habit or the craving to play during the fall haha), so I've still failed to catch it. 🥹 I need to do it so I can finally tie up that loose end, it'd put my mind at ease. But I do wish the spawn rates for it were just a little better so that during those few days/weeks I pick it up during September I have a chance, took forever for me to catch a regular salmon too. 😭

Aww thats horrible friend! I know the servers are almost closed but if you REALLY want it I can open my second town for you in September until you catch it! Unless you really wanna do it naturally in your town then good luck 🙏🍀

Very kind of you to offer!! I appreciate it, but I'll probably just wait it out myself again and try this September. I'll probably cave and just time travel in the end 😅 but thank you!! 💚
 
Not getting the pwp requests I want. I've kept only 2 bridges in my town forever since I want some of the nicer looking requested ones. Idk how many times I've done the swimming trick. They have requested about every other thing they can request except bridges, and will still only ping me for something else. If I hadn't seen screenshots of non default bridges I'd be convinced they didn't exist :unsure:
