I have been searching online and reading almost every bit of ACNL info I can get my hands on (I also have the guide, though it's only barely helpful) and there are still a few things I can't find answers to. So if this information already exists on the net somewhere, I'd be happy just to have a link to it, I don't want to waste anyone's time. I just haven't been able to find it on my own, so far.

It's mostly about making friends with villagers. Sometimes I am given options on how to answer them or etc, and it's not really clear which is the one that will make them happy/like me more/become closer friends.

I can give a specific example. I have a rabbit villager named O'Hare. He's invited me over to his house quite a few times. He always wants to know what I think of his house when I go to leave (am I supposed to wait for him to tell me to go? I always leave after about 2 minutes, on my own).

If I say it's great, he calls me a liar-pants. If I say it's 'okay' he still calls me a liar-pants. (Though he says I'm a NICE liar-pants, at least. Like I'm lying to spare his feelings. Which I am, his place is crappy.)

Am I SUPPOSED to say his place is terrible? Will he actually be happy if I do? Or does none of this make any difference? They send me presents the next day for coming over, no matter what I say...

I bought a silver net and silver shovel today, what are the benefits of these? Do they have limited durability? (Do they break over time)

They don't break. The silver net has a longer handle than the regular net so you can be farther away from bugs to catch them. The silver shovel gives you the chance of getting gems instead of money when you hit the money rock.

Ok, sweet, thanks.

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)?

I've saved 2 of my desings at Sable/Mable. But....how do you get them back?

Talk to Mable again and pick the option for saved designs. Then just drag the ones you want back to your inventory and hit swap (swaps the two patterns) or copy (copies the pattern from Mable over the one in your inventory).

Probably been asked a million times but...

How long should Shampoodle take to build? It started being built today in my town.

Three days, if I'm not mistaken.

yes say his place looks terrible, especially since you know he doesn't believe your other answers. I've always been truthful with the animals when answering their questions, even if the answer seems like it might be mean, the animals do prefer honesty. I've told animals that their clothes looked bad when they have asked and they have thanked me for saving them from embarrassing themselves and then quickly changed their shirts.

You get a thank you gift for coming to visit, but being honest works towards friendship with the animal.

When you have persuaded a villager from another town to move in, how long is it until they move in ?

They usually select their spot the day they left their original town, but it can take a couple extra days.

 

[Kikki]

Yes, it definitely takes 3 days to build Shampoodle's. Mine just finished a few days ago.

Also, thanks, Meltd0wn. Next time I go over I'll try telling O'Hare 'it's terrible'. The place looks like a cheap resort that has astroturf rather than real grass...even Gaston's place is better looking and he has a sloppy bed and the rest of his furniture is made of cardboard...

How does Fertilizer work? Do I bury it next to the flowers or is there some way to use it?

 

[merinda!]

Look I cbf going through 5964586 pages.
But does anyone know if the grass patch has been fixed?

I don't want my town turning into a desert just because I ran twice.
Ya feel.

 

[Nigel]

Can you keep visiting Club Tortimer to see if a silver axe is available?

 

[Lin]

Nigel: Pretty sure you can... a lot of people revisit Tortimer island multiple times per day if they`re look for a specific item. Some people sell the axe, and to get access to so many I`m guessing did they quite a bit of travelling by boat... but that`s just my deduction. xD

Are people less likely to move out if you have perfect town status...? o-o

You plant flowers on the dirt patches and water the flowers. It's a slow process but eventually the grass will grow back.

 

[Ruesen]

My last question apparently got buried, but I also have a new one.

1) (Old question) Is there any way to force the mail to come, like you could in City Folk? I feel like some days I don't even get mail, despite sending so many out.

2) Is there a list or resource site people are using to find what the monthly bug/fish is? I haven't found any that is easy enough to just look at, only found ones with mistranslated names and has ALL bugs/fish possible so I have to look through it one by one.

post was buried again, so repost.

What does the fence do?

 

[Lin]

What does the fence do?

It's just esthetics. xD You can plant stuff in it (although there's not much room...), like flowers.

 

[CrankyCupcake]

What does the fence do?

Nothing at all. You can plant flowers inside but I don't think trees will grow there due to lack of space. But you can use the fence to reserve a spot for a future building (police station or cafe, for instance) or just to prevent a new villager from building his house there.

Are people less likely to move out if you have perfect town status...? o-o

Nope. I have perfect town status and was just informed by Kidd that he's moving out tomorrow.
