I'm curious about tanning. How long do I have to be outside to tan and does wearing glasses prevent my character from tanning?
 
I had 10 villager but now one is moving out. Do I have to worry that there will be a new one soon? I only want 9 villagers but for some reason I got 10 -_-' I never talk to my campers... So I really don't know why I had 10 villagers... O3O
 
iv noticed presents floating around on balloons, wot are they and how do i get them down?

You'll need a slingshot to shoot them down. They are (most of the time) furniture from the balloon series.
You can also get them down with your net if you don't have the slingshot yet. Just wait for them to float to the egde of your cliff.
They will start to lower a bit, low enough for you to hit them with your net. Watch our for water/patterns, because they will dissapear on those.
 
One of my villagers are moving out, and I've got someone in my campsite.

If I let the campsite person in, will someone randomly move in for the one moving out and will the campsite continue producing new people?

you can also get your 10th villager by visiting someone's town. (no you don't necessarily need to talk with that villager)
or if you don't talk with campers and don't visit anyone for a long time, the game might end up generating a 10th villager
 
I see quite a few people asking others to come to their town to have their Fortunes told by Katrina to unlock her...
Does this actually work?

It works for the person visiting, from what I've read. But not the person opening their towns. But for some reason I don't feel that's right ._.

That isn't right. It affects the town being visited. Want to unlock Katrina's shop on Main Street ... invite friends to your town when Katrina's tent is up and let them get readings - 20 readings and she'll say there is enough business to open up a shop.

Mayor character should either get the last reading or at least go back in to talk to Katrina after the 20th reading so she can tell you about opening her shop, otherwise you'll have to wait until she comes back into town.

It has to be your characters that get the 20 readings in the town. Having other people over to get readings done, doesn't count towards your total.

Fifteen minutes in the sun is enough to start a tan. It builds up gradually each day. Glasses do not prevent tanning, but certain hats do.

See Liquify's FAQ for further information (search for Tanning).

Em, I diagree with that Mint. I was counting the readings in my Japanese town and having people over in my town for readings counted towards my 20. I also visited a friend's Japanese town with all four of the players from my town and that brought him to 20 readings and Katrina told his mayor character she'd open the shop after those readings.

Edited to add: I already had my Katrina shop when I had the readings in the other town - so it couldn't possibly have affected my own town. Guess I'll have to test that again in my English town.

I know bushes can't grow right next to buildings and pwps (lame), but can they grow right next to paths, or will I have to remove the paths that are next to the bushes I just planted?

The game doesn't recognize items laying on top of the ground like 'designs', trash, fruit, etc as an obstacle for growing trees or bushes. So feel free to leave your 'path' in place.
 
Is the Prima guide the only English guide? I have it, but it sucks... so much info is wrong or just missing. ._.

It is pretty terrible from what I've heard. You can check out this online guide: http://www.thonky.com/animal-crossing-new-leaf/

Or if you have an iPhone or Android, there's an app that serves as a pretty good guide and it just keeps getting better through updates. It's called Animal Crossing New Leaf Guide by Jruston Apps. Oh and it's free (or you can pay 0.99 USD to remove the adds)

The problem is though, is that there are people who've had 20 visitors go to their town to have their fortunes told, but still haven't unlocked Katrina's shop or have found that there visitors didn't count towards their 20 readings.

With the example of your friend's shop opening, there's no way to really verify, from what you've said, if it was in fact your four readings that gave him that last boost or not. Had he had his reading done before your characters visited, it still could have possibly been unlocked.

Don't have a cell, but thanks for the online guide!
 
This'll sound weird, but does watering your flowers when they aren't wilted and you have a beautiful ordinance actually do anything? Twice now I have made the effort to water every single flower in my town and the next day had 0 flowers spawn; no hybrids, no normal flowers (checked while villagers were still asleep) and no random spawns.
A couple of times I've watered my whole town and had 1 or 2 normal non-hybrid flowers appear, but they could have been from villagers planting them.

And every day I don't water any of my flowers, or I only water a few I get a handful of hybrids. (always could have appeared from flowers I didn't water) And the only time my carnations produced another was the one day I didn't water them.

Is there really any purpose to my watering can?? It's beginning to pee me off that my night owl town gets a ton of hybrids, and my beautiful town only gets the standard flowers villagers plant, when I spend upwards of half hour watering all the flowers now.
 
Question on Gracie fashion checks.
She hasn't come to my town yet, but I'm curious as to how it works. I have a general gist of things, like outfit themes and whatnot.
But does she give you a theme? Do you need to have a certain amount of clothing on (like top/bottom/overall, shoes, and socks)?
