Hello, I just found something strange about a certain outfit I bought today. It is the pirate coat: when my male character wear it it look like a dress... my character is thus left bare legs. It's strange, I thought it was a boy outfit? So is all the coat outfits are like this?

It is just in the form of a dress because that suits it best. Wait until you get the Shoe Store and then buy some tall socks to cover your legs.

Thank you very much for the tips.

When you have PWPs, do your villagers donate?

When you have PWPs, do your villagers donate?

Yes, although I raised a total of 500 bells from my villagers on the last one, and someone else had noone donating! Quite frustrating when you're collecting money for all sorts of other things too!

Well, since retail is usually specific on what bugs and fish they want, I thought they'd be specific with their fruit as well. No need to be rude.

They can be specific with fruit. The other day mine only wanted oranges. I think you should argue everything you sell is the fruit of your labour. xP

When you have PWPs, do your villagers donate?

They can, though mine haven't. I think they are more likely to do so with the Bell boom ordinance.

Does anyone know if Bamboo can be planted directly beside a building / comm. project / water?
I know that you can plant the bamboo directly beside other bamboo and it will still grow, is this true for buildings and water too?

Bamboo follows the same rules as trees. So, no.

When the special item at retail is a fruit, does that mean that they'll also pay double the price if the fruit is
perfect?

Yes. Although if they are asking for perfect fruit, regular fruit won't cut it.

When you have PWPs, do your villagers donate?

They do, but don't count on it. Villagers have better things to spend their miniscule income on. None of the animals have jobs aside from shizue and kent. other animals own a business. the only part time job in town was cafe barista, but you took/take that as mayor!

they have no money. so they get you to buy **** from them at extortionate rates.

They can, though mine haven't. I think they are more likely to do so with the Bell boom ordinance.

Bell Boom does not affect this.

My bamboo dies when planted right next to another. It's not near a wall or house or anything, it's open space and it just dies no matter which side I plant it on, unless its diagonally across from it
._.

Treat them like trees.

Treat them like trees.

Whelp they're all going to die then because I brutally take an axe to my trees :> jk, but eh, I guess my bamboo fence isn't happening :< ah well, ill just use bushes instead

you can plant bushes between them for that fence look

Maybe you have done enough and Phineas isn't showing? I don't think he turns up on rainy days (like in CF) as I was supposed to get my 50% diving on my mule character 3 days ago! And it has been raining this whole time for me.

Hmm, that might the case, I've been getting rain almost every day.

That's a good idea! I'll have to let it grow a bit (bamboo) to see which length I prefer with the bushes ^^ thanks Zen!

Pretty sure this is partially the case. It didn't rain in one of my towns today and he turned up (with 5 medals!) But he also disappeared around 6, so maybe you're playing after he turns up too? - I thought he was supposed to hang around. :?

 

[Mays]

Any idea why the badge/medal guy hasn't shown up yet? I've got over 50% of fish, for sure.

Has it been raining in your town? Phineas doesn't show up when it rains.

Is there a purpose for gold/silver/bronze tortimer awards?

And for gems - is there a reason to keep them? Or should I sell them all? I know gold ones you can give to Cyrus for refurbishing but do rubies/sapphires etc have a purpose?

 

[SamXX]

Do any villagers actually donate (a reasonable amount) money towards Public Service Projects? Or is it not worth waiting for any to come in, and to fully pay off the "donations" yourself?

I heard villagers only donate small amounts (like in the hundreds). So its better to just pay it off yourself.

Gold/Silver/Bronze from Tortimer just tells you how well you done. Gold means you earn more medals than silver, silver more than bronze.

The gems you can use to remake furniture too. I know Green series can use emeralds, Lovely can use rubies and Blue series can use sapphires. They also sell for a decent amount and Villagers seem to love them. The polka-dot series I think can use all.

I've only heard of them donating between 100-1000 bells. And they certainly don't donate often, so just pay off yourself.

How do you get bushes, (not from the island) in your town?
Does the town tree grow by days played or hours played?
