approval rating

[kwark]

So I started a second town and now I'm trying to get the permit.

I have found a list with tasks I could do to get the permit faster. Problem is, it doesn't always seem to work.
My approval rating doesn't go up, after doing the tasks on the list.

Have you done them already? There are some ways that improve your approval rating, but some can only be done once a day, and once and never again. Selling trash can be done multiple times.

I'm having the same problem... I restarted my game yesterday, and I really wanted to get the 100 % before day 2 is over. I've read several places that it's possible to get it done within the first day, but I'm stuck at 87 % and it won't budge :c

Forgot to mention, sending mail can be done multiple times too. And if you're lucky enough to get all 5 villagers to help you, that can possibly raise your approval rating high enough to get 100% in one day.

I wrote letters to the villagers, it really helped. And you should talk a lot to them!

I'm not sure if this is actually true or not, but the last time I tried to get my approval rating up I started doing the various tasks before Isabelle had explained the duties and permit to me, and all of the things I did didn't count at all x_x I thought I was being clever and doing it faster.

I've noticed that some things don't seem to work either, like when I water flowers it barely budges. Helping villagers makes it go really fast, though, like Noctos said. It usually takes me more than one day, though :/

Did you make it yet, kwark?

...The frustration is real. I've spent the entire day watering all the flowers, sending all the letters, fishing up trash and doing every single chore, and I am.... at 98 %... The clock just struck 11 PM, so Re-tail just closed, which means zero chances of recycling trash ;_; I essentially have an hour left to try to scrape up the last 2 % by interacting with my villagers, but they're all so sick of me by now it's going to be hard. ARGH I wanted to do this in one day, ahaha ;;;

I don't think it was meant to be done in a single day. I know it's possible, but I think the developers meant for it to be a more leisurely process. It didn't take me too long, but it did take 2-3 days to get 100%.
