I feel like I'm the only one who's behind
I had the game since launch and I was playin constantly
But real life comes into play
And I never have time.
Does anyone else have this problem as well?
I used to play nonstop when I got it but it got in the way of my household duties, so now I do everything I have to do first then play either in the afternoon or before I go to bed but still try and play everyday
I now often feel as if I never have enough time to play, but that's probably only because I pushed off all of my plans until later because all I wanted to do was play the game when it first came out. Now I'm getting kind of bored of constantly grinding for bells and paying off loans/PWPs, so I just let myself get dragged away from my 3DS, lol!
The opposite thing is true for me...
When i first got it I didnt have much time, because of school. Now that school is over, i have plenty of time to play.
I take a tablet (concerta) for my ADHD, and it makes me want to stop playing. So, every school day, it's almost a CHORE to keep playing. So .. kind of?
The game isn't meant to be a chore! I've had times when I've just not wanted to play it so I haven't. Or I've just gone on and watered my flowers and that's it. It's hard to play around work but I try to at least water my flowers before I go to work and that helps.
It's not a race Some days I get to play a good bit, and some days just the basics. I just play what I can and let it be. I'll eventually reach my goals. I'm not in competition with anyone. But I do hate having to get work and household duties out of the way before I play! Sometimes when I'm cooking, I'll have my DS open on the counter so I can snatch a couple of minutes of play. lol
Seriously, if they hadn't added the town ordinances I don't know if I would have even gotten the game. Watering flowers became such a chore in CF for me, I couldn't face doing it again. But since I set the Beautiful Town ordinance and I don't have to water, I can skip days with no guilt! I couldn't stand feeling like I had to play. Some days I play a lot, some days I skip, it all works out.
Well I'm getting prepared to start up college again so I know I won't be able to play as often as I do now. It doesn't make me dislike the game or anything but I hope I don't miss out on events because my school work will be more important.
I don't have the time to play as often as I would like either and now I have a course to do through work so that will take up some time at nights too. I just want to pay all my house off!!!!!
I work full-time and I'm playing two copies of ACNL with a total of 8 characters/houses. Weekdays, I play for a short time after waking up in the morning, usually looking for fossils/money rock/gem rock. Over the lunch hour, I bring out the other characters to go shopping (working towards getting the 3 mannequins @). After dinner and household chores, I go to the island (mainly to find the last of the mermaid furniture or new wet suits I don't already have) and come home with a basket full of beetles. If I'm getting tired, I'll play a mini game where I can collect fruit and fill my basket up with that instead. I try to talk to my villagers each day, but sometimes I don't get to each one. Weekends, I can do a little more in town, catch fish, bugs, go diving & talk with the villagers a lot more. I've even been able to squeeze in working part-time at the cafe. But if I wasn't playing ACNL, I would just be watching TV in the evening, so in my eyes, playing the game is much better.
