Would like to know this

You have to talk to Sable every day for about a week or so, then you will be able to unlock a machine that you can use for QR codes.

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this question to, but here goes:
After much debate, I went ahead and ordered a 3DS XL just for this game. Turns out my 3DS is estimated to arrive tomorrow, but my game won't arrive until Thursday. I was planning on just buying the game at a store and returning the ordered copy when it arrives. Then it dawned on me... I could download this game to my 3DS. Is there any benefit/downfall of one over the other? Is it better to have the cartridge or the downloaded version?

I don't know much about their differences, but their is an unconfirmed rumor that there are more issues relating to internet connection. There's no proof this is true though, so.. :\

So, first day playing an Animal Crossing game and I got a 'perfect apple' from a tree... what to do?

 

[Mairmalade]

Does anyone have a link to a page that shows the favorite coffee of special NPCs? Tortimer came in today and I wasn't sure. ._.

@Coni: Plant your perfect fruit and you'll get a perfect apple tree. They sell for more and look absolutely deeeliiiccciooous <3

I highly recommend planting it again, and once the tree grows, it will grow more perfect fruit! But once you shake the fruit off the tree about 5 - 8 times, the tree won't give any more perfect fruit ;c. Also, if you plant a Perfect Fruit that is not native to your town, it won't grow Perfect Fruit. Also, you can sell it for extra bells at Re-Tail.

Thank you both, I just planted it

Another question... how on earth should I catch those bugs or giant moths on the trees, I never seem to notice them until they are flying away from me :c, what are the hints? Also the bees just attack you or you may catch them before they catch you? XD

 

[MDofDarkheart]

Yes, you can catch bees before they attack you if you have fast enough reflexes to press the buttons.
You have the sneak up on bugs that live on trees, they tend to fly away if you get too close or you head toward them too fast.
I would suggest being in a brightly light room so you can see the screen easier or (like me) have the 3DS XL screen closer to you if you think you see a bug and try to pinpoint where it is before going after it.
Also, watch out for Scorpions and Tyrantulas because if they see you will a net, they will attack you before you can catch them!

 

[Coni]

Ah thank you! Just managed to catch a lantern fly :3 I feel like a hunter hahaha!

 

[Jinglefruit]

^I find the best way is to make sure you are walking up, towards the top of your town so you can see them in the background sooner. Some bugs are just ridiculously skittish though. (golden stag! -shakes fist-) And if you plan on catching them, be prepared to make a few slow laps of your town/island.

I'm a bit confused about the whole Spotpass vs. Streetpass thing. I know that Streetpass requires you going out and pass by other people's 3DS's when they're on sleepmode and Spotpass will do stuff when connected to Wifi. Anyway, I'm just a bit confused about the whole Happy Houses area above Main Street. How do I get model houses to appear? Is Streetpass the only way, or is there another way to make this happen?

For example. I went to Club Tortimer a few days ago and added some friends there. They appeared in my Mii Plaza via Spotpass, but I don't see any of their houses in the Happy Home area.

Thanks in advance! C:

Once you've built the campsite and have 10 villagers, because one has moved in from the campsite, will your village always remain at atleast 9 villagers? or once someone has moved out is the only way to get a 10th one back from the campsite?

 

[CrankyCupcake]

If I don't like any of the public works projects on the list right now, will new ones get added if I do nothing? Or do I have to work on a project to see a new one pop up?

How does one repair grass deterioration?

Because at this point I'm almost 90% sure that I'm already suffering from it.

 

[CrankyCupcake]

Plant flowers where the grass has deteriorated and water them. The grass should regrow, not overnight but slowly.

 

[Officer Berri]

Thanks. -- This is annoying that it's only been a week and the area between many of my small natural dirt patches is ALREADY beginning to look spotty. It's the worst around my and Pashmina's houses... and I've never ran around there or anything. In fact I only run in my town when there are bees! -_- What gives?!

): I used to play my game on-and-off all day but because of this I only play once a day.

So what time at night are tarantulas supposed to randomly appear? I haven't seen a single one yet.

Nope, it's possible to drop down to eight villagers and then, if you don't get a camper or a villager from another town to move in, a random villager will move in to bring you back up to nine.

I know that from guides, but I was wondering if there's a time frame that they have a higher chance of appearing. For instance, sharks can appear 4:00-8:59 and 16:00-3:59. But they seem to have a higher chance of appearing in the 7pm-9pm timeframe. Earlier than that and later than that you can still encounter them, but it's a lot more rare.

i recently went into the dream suite and explored a really cute town
when i went inside their house, they had clam shaped music boxes with k.k. slider songs inside them
how do i get these?
also are there any tricks to increase the chances of perfect fruit growing?
